In Africa, the honeyguide birds can respond to human calls to lead people to honey—what scientists describe as a mutualistic interaction, or one that benefits both creatures. The birds tweet and fly from tree to tree to guide honey seekers to hidden bee nests, typically inside trees. Then, humans open the trees to find honey, and the birds can dine on beeswax, their favorite food. | |
Dogs have an excellent sense of smell, which is why the folks at Penn Vet Working Dog Center are training dogs to identify the smell of cancer using tissue and blood samples from people who suffer. The scientists hope to develop a way for dogs to screen samples first, then perform follow-up testing on the samples the dogs flagged—a system for spotting cancer in its early stages. | |

27、He looked like a pirate.
With his handkerchief tied in a knot behind his little nine-year-old head, he looked like a pirate, a sad pirate. The first time little David came to our camp, he was hairless and worn out from medical treatments. He was also very angry.
Paul Newman's camp counselors (指导老师 ) were hoping to fill David's days with fun and laughter. But David stayed inside himself, wanting to be alone, or in a corner of the cabin. At this camp for children with life-threatening illnesses, we had seen some pretty tough children worn out by cancer recover full of energy despite their illness. But we saw little progress in David no matter what we tried with him. Five days into the eight-day session saw a quiet, sad little pirate.
Then something happened on that fifth night. Something at camp that we would call "huge". It was cabin night. That's the time when campers and counselors spend lime together in each individual cabin instead of an all-camp activity. Campers love cabin nights because there's always a bedtime snack. On the cabin table that night were bags of potato chips.
David slowly walked over to the table, leaving his comer to join the rest of us. He took one of the bags of the potato chips and started smashing(弄碎) it with his little fists, as all the other campers looked on in disbelief, I wondered what the cabin counselor would do.
The college-age volunteer counselor positioned a bag of chips on die table in front of himself, and he, too, started smashing it with his fist. The campers went crazy as everyone ran to the table to get in on the fun of smashing potato chips with their fists.
Somehow everyone knew, everyone sensed, that anger within him was now being released.
For the last couple days of the session, David was a different kid. He was a little nine-year-old boy again, trying to fill the hours of each remaining day at camp with as much fun as could be possible.
Several days after the session, David came back again. This time, there wasn't anything he wouldn't try to fit in to his day. He sure was having a great time at camp. David asked me if I needed an altar(祭坛)boy when I celebrated Mass in the woods. Sure enough, he was my altar boy. I remembered how carefully he listened to me when I talked about death. 1 said it's only a doorway. You walk through the door and there's the Lord God and behind God a whole line of people waiting to hug you.
After Mass, he said to me, "Hey Fatha, a door, huh?"
A couple more days of fun passed and tonight was the talent show. The tradition is that campers and counselors dress up in costumes, and everyone gets a standing applause for singing and dancing or simply just acting like fools on stage.
The show had begun: lights, camera, action.
Unfortunately, the only action taking place in our row of seats was little David making his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp. He had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis.
When this little nine-year-old pirate stood in front of me, he gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek. 1 was crying. He was crying. A whole row of counselors was in tears. After the hug and kiss, he put his hands on my shoulders, and tears still in his eyes, said: "See you on the other side of the door, Fatha."
【1】The camp counselors failed to fill David's beginning days with fun and laughter, mainly because David_____.
A.behaved like a pirate

【4】Which of the following does NOT show the change in David?
A.David came back to the camp for a second session after the first ended.
B.David had become quite ill and had to go to the hospital because of this new crisis.
C.David made his way from counselor to counselor to say an early good-bye to camp.
D.David stood in front of me and gave me a hug and a big wet kiss on my cheek.
【5】What do you think the theme of the story is?
A.Children with deadly diseases are usually difficult to get along with.
B.People should have patience with children with life-threatening illnesses.
C.People should tell children with life-threatening illnesses to care nothing about death.
D.Love and proper guidance can help people look at something negative in a positive way.
28、 Don't get mad the next time you catch your teenager texting when he promised to be studying. He simply may not be able to resist. A UI (University of Iowa) study found teenagers are far more sensitive than adults to the immediate effect or reward of their behaviors. The findings may help explain why the initial rush of texting may be more attractive for adolescents than the long-term payoff of studying
“For the teenager, the rewards are attractive, ” says Professor Jatin Vaidya, an author of the study. “They draw adolescents. Sometimes, the rewards are a kind of motivation for them. Even when a behavior is no longer in a teenager's best interest to continue, he will still go on. That’s because the effect of the reward is still there and lasts much longer in adolescents than in adults.”
For parents, that means limiting distractions so teenagers can make better choices. Take the homework and social media dilemma for example: At 9 p.m., shut off everything except a computer that has no access to Facebook or Twitter, the researchers advise. "I m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed access to technology, Vaidya says. "But some help in netting their concentration is necessary for them so they can develop those impulse(冲动)-control skills.
In their study, Vaidya and co-author Shaun Vecera note researchers generally believe teenagers are impulsive, make bad decisions, and engage in risky behavior because the frontal lobes(额叶) of their brains are not fully developed. But the UT researchers wonder whether something more fundamental is going on with adolescents to cause behaviors independent of higher-level reasoning.
“We want to try to understand how the brains reward system changes from childhood to adulthood, "says Vaidya, who adds the reward character in the human brain is easier than decision-making. "We’ve been trying to understand the reward process in adolescence and whether there is more to adolescence behavior than an underdeveloped frontal lobe, "he adds. For their study, the researchers persuaded 40 adolescents, aged 13 and 16, and 40 adults, aged 20 and 35 to participate.
In the future, researchers hope to look into the psychological and neurological aspects of their results.
【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Adolescents care more about instant rewards.
B. Adolescents cannot resist temptation of bigger rewards.
C. Adolescents are most fond of texting to friends.
D. Adolescents are sensitive to the effect of their behaviors.
【2】What is the underlined word distractions closest in meaning to?
A. Immediate rewards. B. The pull of social media.
C. Concentration training. D. Obstacles to attention.
【3】Which statement agrees with Jatin Vaidya's idea?
A. Children should have access to the Internet
B. Children need help in maintaining their attention.
C. Parents should help children in making decisions.
D. The influence of the reward is weak in adolescents
【4】What result does teenagers’ brain underdevelopment lead to?
A. Making good decisions B. Avoiding risky behavior
C. Joining in dangerous actions D. Doing things after some thought
29、 A cat with an accent sounds like a character in children’s tale, but Swedish scientists are trying to figure out if domestic cats actually do have different “dialects” based on their geographical location. They also want to understand if the owner’s voice might have a role to play in the way cats’ meow(猫). If they’re successful, the team of scientists from Lund University. hope to put together a “dictionary” of cat sounds.
The project will be carried out over the next five years. SchÖtz explained that she and her team will use phonetic(语音)analysis to compare cat sounds from two parts of Sweden-Stockholm and Lund-with different human dialects, and figure out if the cats from these regions also have different dialects. They will focus on tune, voice, and speaking style in the human speech that is addressed to cats, and also cat sounds that are addressed to humans.
While it all sounds rather fanciful, the main idea behind the project is to improve the human-cat relationship. Since their domestication(驯化)about 10,000 years ago, cats and humans have learned to “talk” through audio(声音的)and visual signals. Even today, wild cats have no need for meowing in adulthood, while domestic ones continue to meow as a way of communicating with humans. And by understanding more about this communication, SchÖtz and her team hope to influence the way cats are treated in animal hospitals, shelters, and care homes.
The team will record voices of about 30 to 50 cats in different situations, for example when they want access to desired locations, when they are content, friendly, happy, hungry, annoyed, or even angry-and try to identify any differences in their phonetic patterns. They want to know if cats prefer pet-directed speech or prefer to be spoken to like human adults.
The project is yet to begin officially, but the researchers have already started testing their equipment and techniques by recording a few cats’ meowings. And they’ve already made a few interesting observations. In one of the recordings, they noticed that when a cat is begging for food its meows rise slowly. But the opposite happens when the cat is unhappy. By the year 2021, SchÖtz and her team hope to have entirely broken the cats’ code by interpreting all their meowings.
【1】Carrying out the research, Swedish Scientists will mainly investigate ______.
A.how cats vary the melody of meows B.how cats communicate with their owners
C.how cats meow with a funny mood D.how cats are treated around the world
【2】The main purpose of the project done by Swedish scientists is to ______.
A.find out where the cats live B.understand the cats’ lifestyle
C.build up the human-cat relationship D.make up a dictionary of cat sounds
【3】According to the passage it can most probably be inferred that ______.
A.the owners’ voice plays a key role in the way cats meow
B.the research could bring about the cats’ welfare changes in shelters, for instance
C.the owners understand entirely the cats’ need through their meows
D.domestic cats live a happier life than wild ones
【4】What attitude does the author hold towards the prospect(前景)of the research?
A.Optimistic. B.Pessimistic.
C.Unconcerned. D.Skeptical.
