21、Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs have the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs (Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory) to play a simple joystick (操纵杆) game with their noses, moving a cursor (光标) to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t show the skills to win a round any time, they did show an understanding of some simple games. Performing well not by chance, the pigs appeared to recognize that the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well although they didn’t have flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.
That pigs can do this should give us pause about what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may influence them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in it, “only encouraging words from the experimenter” would make the pigs continue their training.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence and learning abilities of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also shown how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.
As with any sentient (有感觉力的) beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them influences and matters to them. We therefore have a duty to further understand how pigs get information and what they are capable of learning and remembering, because this may help them understand their interactions with us and their environments.
【1】What can be learned from Paragraph 1?
A.The pigs knew a lot about the video games.
B.The pigs operated joysticks with their noses.
C.The pigs competed with each other in the games.
D.The pigs sometimes performed well by chance.
【2】What made researchers believe pigs socially interacted well?
A.Their being inspired by human words.
B.Their being driven by food.
C.Their being willing to keep trying.
D.Their being stopped by challenges.
【3】Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?
A.Pigs can’t play video games for lack of flexible fingers.
B.When playing games, pigs can win a round at any time.
C.The research suggests that pigs are very friendly animals.
D.When games are difficult, pigs are unwilling to play them.
【4】What will researchers probably focus on in the next stage of their experiment ?
A.How pigs learn to play challenging games.
B.How pigs improve their learning ability.
C.How pigs manage to get information.
D.How pigs adapt to their living environment.
22、A day at the beach has turned into weeks of pain for an Indiana teenager after she was infected (感染) with a rare disease in Florida.
