Confucius(孔子) lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in today’s Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. 1. His father died when he was only 3 years old. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, 2.但是他没有放弃学习。He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. 4.他是中国历史上最伟大的老师。He told us that we have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas.”

25、

A Johns Hopkins University researcher, Melville J. Wohlgemuth, noticed that the hats he worked with turned their heads to the side when hunting. "It's a lovely behavior, and I was curious about the purpose, " he said. "I wanted to know when bats were doing this and why. It seemed to happen as hats were targeting prey（瞄准猎物）, and that turned out to he the case."

Wohigemuth's team found that a bat's head and ear movements went with the animal's sonar vocalizations（声纳发声）to help it hunt. The findings show how movements can strengthen signals used by senses like sight and hearing-not just in bats, but in dogs and cats, and even in humans.

Bats' use of echo-location（回声定位）to find, locate and catch prey is well documented. But the lead author Wohlgemuth and his team are the first to show how the mysterious head and ear movements influence the hunt.

The researchers used a novel method to study the head and ear movements of the big brown bat, a common bat species. First, researchers trained the bat to sit on a platform while tracking moving prey. After that, the researchers fixed markers to the top of the bat's head and both ears. The markers allowed the team to measure the head and ear positions as the bat tracked the prey moving in various directions.

They found the head movements took place when the prey changed direction or moved unpredictably. The ear movements happened as the prey grew closer, which helped the bat hear the echoes it used to track and catch the prey. Most notably, these head and ear movements went with the bat's vocalizations, allowing the animal to locate where the prey exactly was.

Co-author Cynthia F. Moss said other similar studies missed the importance of head and ear movements, because laboratories usually observed the subject with a fixed head position. That's not how animals operate in the real world, when their heads are free to move.

Moss compared the bat's head and ear movements to those of other species that use active sensing to process important information. "By studying these movements, " she said, "we as humans can get insight into how movements help animals sense their environment."

【1】The research of Wohlgemuth and his team is the first to prove that ___________ ·

A．head and ear movements help bats locate the prey

B．animals send signals to help them hunt more quickly

C．humans learn to hunt by copying animals' movements

D．sonar vocalizations can work for both animals and humans

【2】The fourth paragraph is mainly about ___________ .

A．how the bat uses head and ear movements to track moving prey

B．how the researchers studied the head and ear movements of the bat

C．how the bat is trained to track the prey by moving its head and ears

D．how the researchers measured the moving hat's head and ear positions

【3】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Bats: A Master of Night Hunting

B．Bats: A Model of Fast Movements

C．Bats: An Expert of Exact Location

D．Bats: An Example of Mysterious Animals

26、What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.

Escaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save your life. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.

From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible, learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.

The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.

Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed. Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked into the room.

On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
