21、People use laughter to connect and bond with others. What about animals?
Sasha Winkler is a graduate student at the University of California, studying animal behavior. She noticed that the small monkeys she worked with, called rhesus macaques, liked to play together by chasing each other. While having fun together, they made anting sounds, almost like they were out of breath, which reminded Winkler of quiet laughter.
To find out whether other animals laugh while playing, Winkler teamed up with another scientist named Greg Bryant. Together, they found and read dozens of reports written by scientists who studied animals. Winkler and Bryant looked for any mentions in any animal of vocal signaling during play like the panting of the macaques.
Through their research, Winkler and Bryant identified 65 species, or groups of animals that produce that laughter while playing. The animals that laugh the most include primates like monkeys and apes, rodents like rats, and mammals that live in the ocean like dolphins.
The study suggests that many animals laugh so that their play partner knows they are having fun. This is important because animal play can sometimes look like fighting. Laughter becomes a way for animals to prevent aggressive or harmful behavior when interacting with others. Some animals also make a “play face”, giving an expression like a smile to show that they are happy and not angry.
One big difference between human laughter and animal laughter is that humans laugh much more loudly. Most sounds animals make during play are very quiet so they can only be heard by the animal they are playing with. But for humans, loud laughter is a sign that we’re part of a group. “It’s really fascinating that so many animals have a similar function of vocalization(发声)during play,” said Winkler. “But we do have these unique parts of human laughter that are also an important area for future study.”
【1】Why did Winkler and Bryant conduct the research?
A．To observe animal behavior.
B．To collect papers about animals.
C．To study animal laughter while playing
D．To compare animal laughter and human laughter.
【2】Why do some animals laugh when having fun?
A．To hide their true emotions.
B．To play tricks on their partners.
C．To attract more partners to join in.
D．To make play go in a friendly way.
【3】What is special about animal laughter?
A．It’s mostly a quiet laughter.
B．It’s louder than human laughter.
C．It’s more social than human laughter.
D．It’s accompanied by facial expressions.
【4】What might be the main concern of future research on human laughter?
A．Its function.
B．Its volume.
C．Its sounding.
D．Its message.
22、While small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.
The Tall Persons Club Great Britain (TPCGB), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. Beds that are too small, shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.
But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met. The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged.
“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a king-size bed at 6′6″ (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population.” Said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy, “seven-foot beds would work fine.”
Similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. Small tables, which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.
Some have already taken note, however. At Queens Moat Houses′ Caledoman Hotel in Edinburgh, 6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors, particularly Americans.
【1】What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?
A．To provide better services.
B．To rebuild hotels and restaurants.
C．To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.
D．To attract more people to become its members.
【2】Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?
A．7′2″.
B．7′
C．6′6″
D．6′3″
【3】What may happen to restaurants with small tables?
A．They may lose some customers.
B．They may start businesses elsewhere.
C．They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.
D．They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.
【4】What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?
A．Tall people pay more for larger beds.
B．6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.
C．Special rooms are kept for Americans.
D．Guest rooms are standardized.
23、It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
【1】Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A. The man’s job was bike racing.
B. It was their only possession.
C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.
D. They used it for work and daily life.
【2】We can infer from the text that ____________.
A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.
B. people were busy before Christmas
C. the stranger brought over the bike
D. life was hard for the young family.
【3】How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A. From radio broadcasts. B. From a newspaper.
C. From TV news. D. From a stranger.
【4】What do the couple learn from their experience?
A. Strangers are usually of little help.
B. One should take care of their bike.
C. News reports make people famous.
D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.
24、 Do you have a prized stuffed animal from your childhood? Is it still in your apartment? If so, you’re not alone. 60% of small children have Teddies and other comfort objects, and up to 35% of adults!
Conventional wisdom from the 1970s suggested kids depending on comfort objects somehow lacked secure attachment to their mothers, and that this dependence would threaten their proper development into well-adjusted adults.
However, not too long ago, studies began to show that comfort objects don’t threaten children’s mental health, and may indeed be developmentally advantageous. Children with comfort objects are less shy and more focused than those without them. This is probably because with their presence, children feel braver and less stressed in unfamiliar situations.
Even newer research shows only when a toy is his or her comfort object do children anthropomorphize it. That is, children don’t really mistakenly believe that all objects around them have inside lives. Having an emotional attachment to the comfort object causes children to think of it as a human-like friend, who they can practice telling stories to and share joy and sorrow with. Sometimes they even think from the perspective of this unnatural friend.
Comfort objects are not just soft things for children to grab when they feel sad or lonely. They mean something special to them. So, far from being “wacky toddler (学步儿童) behavior”, choosing a comfort object and treating it as a sacred part of daily rituals is actually extremely sophisticated behavior on the part of small children. If you have a comfort animal, or meet a kid who has one, let the cuddles (拥抱) begin.
【1】What do the numbers in Paragraph 1 suggest?
A．It’s abnormal for adults to own Teddies.
B．It’s OK for kids to have comfort objects.
C．Kids can get more attached to their toys.
D．Having comfort objects is actually common.
【2】What did people in the 1970s think of kids depending on comfort objects?
A．They might be a threat after growing up.
B．They might have developmental problems.
C．They could hardly grow into healthy adults.
D．They could get too attached to their mothers.
【3】Which of the following statement is true according to the text?
A．Stuffed toys are intended for wacky toddlers.
B．Comfort objects boost innovation in children.
C．Children believe all stuffed animals have souls.
D．Comfort objects are mentally beneficial to kids.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards comfort objects?
A．Favorable.
B．Unconcerned.
C．Doubtful.
D．Critical.
