26、Unbelievable Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans
◆Horses are picky eaters
Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do. When horses raise their noses and open their nostrils (鼻孔), their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can't find. This might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around grasslands, eating only the tastiest grasses, experts say.
◆Whale says thanks
In 2011, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks, the whale swam near their boat and jumped into the air about 40 times.
◆Pandas like to be naughty
Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies: They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs. A panda is shy by nature for its shy behavior such as covering its face with a paw or burying its head when facing a stranger.
◆A cat honors its owner
Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three- year-old gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner lozzelli Renzo's grave every day since the man died in September 2011. Renzo brought Toldo home from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and the two formed an inseparable bond. After Renzo passed away, Toldo followed people to the grave, and now “stands guard” at the grave for hours at a time.
【1】How do horses tell tastiest grasses from bad ones?

【2】What do the whale and the cat have in common according to the text?
A.They are clever. B.They have a grateful heart.

27、Year 2020 seems to be the year of healthy eating. People are choosing to follow a vegetarian diet, and some have even given up animal products entirely.
But Joe Rogan, the most popular podcast host in the US, was against this trend and called January 2020 “world carnivore (食肉动物) month”. In his recent podcast, he reviewed his experience with “the carnivore diet”. Starting in January, he ate only meat for 30 days without any vegetables or fruit.
The podcaster tried the diet after the famous psychologist Jordan Peterson claimed that the diet could promote energy levels and mental health, according to Business Insider.
Rising to the challenge, Rogan posted regular updates about his diet on the popular social platform Instagram. With the average day consisting of just 2 meals, breakfast would be 6 eggs or a steak, and dinner would include either another steak, such as beef, fish or liver.
After 30 days, Rogan said he felt amazed. He also wrote, “I lost 12 pounds. Lots of pains went away. My energy is constant, and I have improvements in my stomachache. I went into this thing, thinking that this carnivore diet was kind of strange, but this is as good as I’ve felt in a long time.”
It has positive results, but some have pointed out the diet’s limitation. Speaking to CNBC, Linda Horn, a health expert at Northwestern University, said that studies show that a high-quality diet with a variety of nutrients is connected with “a better quality of life, long life and reduced risk of chronic (慢性的) diseases”. She added that the energy people claim to feel from the carnivore diet is probably not because of the meat. Instead, she said kicking carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and sugar causes weight loss and it makes people feel better.
While the carnivore diet may offer you some benefits, eating a balanced diet will afford you more health benefits than consuming a single food group, according to Healthline.

28、Take care of your spine(脊柱)
The spine stands at the center of your health, providing your body with structure and support. It also contains your spine cord, a massive collection of nerves conveying electric signals from the rest of your body to your brain【1】
Maintaining good posture( 姿势) is one of the most important things you can do to keep your spine healthy. Proper posture means standing or sitting while keeping your spine straight, except for its natural curves. Posture comes into play even when you are asleep. Sleeping on your side puts less stress on your spine than most other positions. 【2】 . Especially if you work at a desk most of the day, it's important to get up and stretch regularly.
【3】Stretch can help the muscles around your spine relax and allow bones to shift into better arrangement. Strength exercises like pushups(俯卧撑) can also help by strengthening the muscles around your spine. However, don’t overdo the exercise, as repeated motions can strain the muscles around your spine.
Finally, your diet affects the health of your spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. In particular, vitamins B and D are essential to keep bones healthy, so you may want to consider taking a supplement.【4】, so it is also helpful to do some of the back exercise outside.
Many of the actions necessary to keep your spine healthy are identical to those used to preserve your health in other ways.【5】
A.However, the latter is also absorbed from sunlight.
B.Staying still for too long can be hard on your back.
C.So protect your back, the rest of the body will benefit.
D.Protecting your spine with yoga is also a necessary step.
E.Try the following exercises to keep your spine more flexible.
F.Exercise is also an important factor in the health of your spine.
G.So you should take the following factors into account to have a healthy spine.
29、When I decided to leave my home country to pursue a degree in Canada, I hadn’t expected that communication would be an issue.【1】I took English lessons in my teens and scored well on English tests.
But soon after my arrival in Canada, I realized how wrong I was. In research discussions, surrounded by native English speakers, I had to be careful. I needed to consciously follow each conversation and translate it to my native language.【2】Finally, I tried to find the right English words to communicate that response. Constantly thinking about what I would say next, I had a hard time remaining focused in conversations.
But when I again failed to say exactly what I meant in a meeting a few months later, a simple idea occurred to me. 【3】Communicating with my colleagues by e-mail, I had more time to think and comfortably express my thoughts. Over time, this practice helped improve my English significantly.
【4】I decided to remind them that English is not my first language. I asked them to speak more slowly to help me follow the discussions. It was a little awkward to draw attention to what might be seen as a weakness. And at first, the other members of the research team seemed slightly surprised. But the dynamics quickly improved. They seemed to become more aware of how they were speaking, and I felt more comfortable joining in the conversation.【5】
A.Plus, I learned to be open with my colleagues.
B.Why not contribute to the discussion in writing?
C.I had thought I could express myself in English easily.
D.Gradually I grew uncomfortable with oral communication.
E.Then, I had to reflect carefully on it and think of a response.
F.With efforts on both sides, we could overcome language barriers.
G.How can one deny the significance of effective communication?
