21、Dogs, more so than almost any other domestic pets, are desperate for human eye contact. 【1】and according to a new study, that pull on the heartstrings might be exactly why dogs can give us those looks at all.
【2】 Studying the two animals is a bit like cracking open a four-legged time capsule. A paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that dogs’ faces are structured for complex expression in a way that wolves’ aren’t.
For the study, a team looked at two muscles (the RAOL and LAOM muscles) that work together to widen and open a dog’s eyes, causing them to appear bigger and more lovely, which we read as distinctly humanlike. The muscles for two short, straight lines, which connect the ring of muscle around a dog’s eye to either end of the brow above. 【3】 Therefore, they concluded that the origin of these complex facial expressions is after dogs splitting from wolves. Research has also shown that when dogs work these muscles, humans respond more positively. This isn’t simply a coincidental love story, in which the eyes of two species just so happen to meet across a crowded planet. 【4】
For a species to change quickly, a pretty powerful force must be acting on it. 【5】 .We connect more deeply with animals capable of making humanlike facial movements, so dogs have evolved to look like our own human babies to be selected for adoption.
A.Dogs are similar to wolves.
B.And that’s where humans come in.
C.It’s hard for most people to resist the shining eyes of a little dog.
D.But in the four gray wolves the researchers looked at, neither muscle was present.
E.Like the other best partnerships, this one is more likely the result of years of evolution.
F.Researchers have long been interested in the ways dogs make eye contact with humans.
G.Dogs split off from their wolf relatives — specifically, gray wolves — as many as 33, 000 years ago.
22、In the United States, teaching is very important. If teachers do not teach well, students complain. If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand. In a sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services.
Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the end of each course. That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation, preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes.
Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before classes. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely(具体地) and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies.
Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate level classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussions is very important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.
【1】According to the passage, good teachers should ___________.
A.try to please their students
B.treat their students as consumers
C.understand their students well
D.made sure their students understand
【2】What are students expected to do before attending a class?

A.learn how to do research and write papers.
B.have some learning experience

23、Health Educations:
Simple additions and subtractions might result in a healthier life, according to the latest research.
More+COFFEE A cup or more daily may cut your risks of some types of head and neck cancers, says an analysis of nine studies. Decaf (低咖) doesn’t seem to do the trick; neither does tea. | Less-SITTING In a study from the American Cancer Society, women who spent lots of time sitting were nearly 40% more likely to die during the study than women who sat less. Men had an increased mortality rate of 18%. |
+FISH In a recent study, people who ate at least two servings of fish a week were much less likely than infrequent fish eaters to develop age-related hearing loss---in fact, they were only 58% as likely to develop hearing problem. | -EXPENSIVE DRUGS Diuretics (利尿剂)can be just as effective as pricier drugs at prevent-ting complications associated with high blood pressure, a major study shows. Most people should try them first, researchers say. |
+WRIGING IT DOWN If you have irritable bowel syndrome (肠道激怒综合症), writing down your thoughts, beliefs and feelings about the problem may help relieve the discomfort. In a recent study, people who did so for 30 minutes at a time for 4 days found that their symptoms improved greatly. | -DEPRESSION In a study that followed elderly people for as long as 17 years, those who were depressed at the start were more likely to develop dementia (痴呆). It’ll take more research to know whether treating depression can help retain mental power. |

24、I went with my husband to Roatan for our vacation, a tropical island off the north coast of Honduras, where tourists can swim with dolphins at Anthony’s Key Resort.
The Roatan dolphins are kept in a roped-off pen(围栏). The cheapest “swim” with the dolphins costs $ 89. Kissing costs extra. The tourists line up and, one after another, get photographed while being “kissed” by a dolphin. The tourist bends down a bit, the trainer lifts an arm, the dolphin comes up and for a few seconds holds its bottlenose to the tourist’s face. The picture is ready for purchase when the tourists exit through the gift shop.
These tourists must love dolphins, but what kind of love is that? At sea these highly intelligent creatures are always on the move, traveling thousands of miles. They are complex social creatures that need a lot of space to live in.
Yet Teri Bolton, the head trainer at Anthony’s Key Resort, defends the pen as a suitable habitat. “We feel this is the closest to keeping things as natural as possible”, she said. “You’re getting a window into how these animals really are.”
The discussion about this tourist behavior can be found on the Internet. Some people try to justify their desire, saying the fence of the pen is low; the dolphins could jump over it if they wanted to, and therefore they’re staying in captivity(圈养)by free will. One contributor to the discussion said, “Dolphins are social creatures. Jumping over the fence would mean leaving the females and their babies. Besides, by now they are used to captivity with three meals a day. Jumping over the fence would be like asking you to jump out of a spaceship alone onto Mars.”
But visiting any institution that keeps dolphins in captivity means supporting the concept of captivity. It’s like wearing a fur coat and then justifying it by saying it’s OK because the animals are already dead.
Remember that you cannot buy love, and if you try to buy dolphin love, you hurt the ones you love. In fact, a dolphin’s kiss has nothing to do with love, just as a dolphin’s smile has nothing to do with happiness. While many claim that dolphin encounters provide healing(治疗))qualities and help you to feel better, the opposite is true for the supposed healers.
【1】How much does a tourist pay for a dolphin’s kiss?
A.More than $ 89.
B.Less than $ 89.
C.As much as $ 89.
D.It’s free of charge.
【2】What do some people on the Internet think of the pen for dolphins?
A.It’s like a prison.
B.It’s like a spaceship.
C.It’s no fun for the dolphins.
D.It’s suitable for the dolphins.
【3】What do the underlined “the supposed healers” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Dolphin lovers.
B.Unhealthy people.
C.Dolphins in the wild.
D.Dolphins in captivity.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Are Dolphins As Smart As Humans?
B.Swimming with Dolphins: Is It Love or Not?
C.Dolphins—Creatures with Feelings
D.Kissing—A New Way to Communicate with Dolphins
