21、Honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk but can they lie in other ways?

Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees(黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends(假装) to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. They are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.

Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.

Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.

As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.

【1】A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.

A．getting closer to its young

B．driving away the adult predator

C．leaving its young in another nest

【2】By saying “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky.”, the writer means ________.

A．chimps are ready to attack others

B．chimps are sometimes dishonest

C．chimps are jealous of the winners

D．chimps can be selfish too

【3】What does the story mainly want to tell us?

A．Animals can also tell lies.

B．Honesty helps animals survive.

C．Mother Nature can fool animals.

D．Animals learn to lie from childhood.

【4】Where can you probably find the passage?

A．A tourist guide.

B．A physics book.

C．A nature magazine.

D．An advertisement.
