27、   Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.

A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols made up of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys combined—or added—the symbols to get the reward.

Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would flash on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen they would be rewarded with seven drops of water or juice; if they went for the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.

After running hundreds of tests, the researchers noted that the monkeys would go for the higher values more than half the time, showing that they were performing a calculation(计算), not just remembering the value of each combination.

When the team studied the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 over the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a fraction(小部分)of the smaller number to it.

"This shows that there is a certain way number is represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. “But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one.”

【1】What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?

A.They fed them. B.They named them.

C.They trained them. D.They washed them.

【2】How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A.By drawing a circle. B.By touching a screen.

C.By watching videos. D.By mixing two drinks.

【3】What did Livingstone's team find about the monkeys?

A.They could perform basic addition. B.They could understand simple words.

C.They could remember numbers easily. D.They could hold their attention for long.

【4】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A.Science. B.Health. C.Education. D.Entertainment.

Christmas means different things to different people. To some people, it means bright packages under a Christmas tree. To others. it means family get together to have a wonderful meal. To Christians. it means Jesus's birthday. Christmas also means giving a helping hand to people in need. Although people are busy s 【1】 for presents and sending Christmas cards, they take time to help others.

  In America and around the world, Christmas offers many chances to spread "peace on earth, goodwill toward men". For example, some people stand outside malls and stores collecting m 【2】  for the needy. Many churches and other organizations collect toys and clothes as Christmas gifts for poor families. Going caroling （唱圣诞颂歌) is another traditional way to bring cheer to neighbors--e  【3】  the elderly and people who can't get out much. The Christmas spirit encourages people to help each other in  many different ways.

The spirit of helping others isn't l 【4】  to Christmas. However. People help others year-round. Many organizations like The Make a Wish Foundation exist just to help others. It gives dying children a chance to have their dream come true. Thousands of people spend their time serving as v 【5】  in hospitals, homeless shelters and schools. As the old saying goes, "Charity begins at home"-but it doesn't s 【6】 there. Americans are keen on helping needy people in other countries. as well. Many American organizations reach out to suffering people in other countries. For a certain amount per month, people can provide needy children with food, clothing and education.

  As long as there are people in need, helping others will remain an important task. Americans are not the only ones who believe in helping others. People in every culture recognize that being h 【7】   is one of the greatest virtues(美德)in life. as well as one of the sweetest joys. The Christmas season is a great time to renew our promise to help people in need. We never know when we might need a little help.
