Behavior Under Risk: How Animals Avoid Becoming Dinner By: Renee L. Rosier & Tracy Langkilde © 2021 Nature Education Most animals face the risk of being eaten. To avoid becoming someone’s dinner, an organism must be able to identify predatory threats and employ effective strategies to avoid detection by predators. In the event that avoidance fails, animals can use strategies that will increase their chances of surviving attack if they do encounter predators. Detecting predators a. Visual — Many animals respond to general visual cues, such as the presence of a new object or sudden movement. Other visual cues, including an animal’s size and behavior, can provide specific information about the identity and intention of a potential predator. For example, prey may be able to visually identify a predator based on its shape, size, and color, and can use the predator’s behavior to determine the immediate threat that it poses. b. Auditory — Auditory cues can provide reliable, direct information about a predator’s presence, identity. These cues are especially helpful for nocturnal prey species or animals that avoid predators that frequently use sound to hunt or communicate. For example, toadfish recognize sound of dolphins when they are looking for food, one of their main predators, and reduce their activity levels in response. c. Chemical — Chemical cues can be present in the air, in water, or on the ground, and can be detected by prey through olfaction and gustation, providing a reliable indication of a predator’s presence even if it is visually undetectable. Some species are even able to determine how old a predator scent is, and will avoid only fresh scent cues as they indicate a predator’s recent presence. Animals can also use changes in the concentration or age of a scent to determine which direction a predator was traveling, in order to better avoid it. d. Vibration — Vibration cues can provide useful information about a predator’s presence, and can be difficult for predators to conceal. Many animals, including some spiders, caterpillars, and tadpoles, use vibrations as indicators of predator presence, and can distinguish vibrations made by predators, non-predators, and abiotic cues (such as rainfall). It is important for prey to be able to distinguish cues from threats versus non-threats, as responding to every tactile stimulus would waste time and energy, and may actually attract the attention of predators. |
【1】Which of the following cue can best be used to detect the direction of predators at night?
A．Visual
B．Auditory
C．Chemical
D．Vibration
【2】According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．Visual cues can be used as an indication of predators’ intention.
B．Chemical cues fail to function if the predators are out of sight.
C．Auditory cues help prey to figure out what kind of predators they meet.
D．Vibration cues are reliable as predators can hardly stop vibrating.
【3】Which of the following topic might be talked about in the following paragraphs?
A．Surviving Encounters with Predators
B．Effective Ways to Find out Predators
C．Distinct Characteristics of Predators
D．Prey species and their behaviors
22、Is Dieting OK for Kids?
You may know some adults and kids who worry about their weight and say they are going on a diet. You might wonder if you should be on a diet, too.【1】 Why? Let’s find out.
Dieting to Lose Weight
【2】 When someone diets to lose weight, the person is trying to eat fewer calories than the body uses. By doing this, the person may lose body fat and decrease his or her weight. Similarly, if a person eats more calories than the body uses, the person may gain weight.
Kids usually do not need to diet in this way.【3】 During this time, kids need many kinds of healthy foods to keep their bodies growing properly. Some kids are overweight, but even overweight kids often can improve their health simply by eating nutritious foods and being more active.【4】 But kids may hurt their health even more by doing something drastic( 极端的), like skipping meals or deciding to eat only vegetables.
Who Needs to Diet?
Though some people may feel they weigh too much or too little, there is no perfect body shape. Some people have bigger bones and will always look bigger and heavier than people with smaller bones.
【5】
Your doctor can examine you and check your body mass index (身体质量指数). That’s a way of estimating how much body fat you have. If the doctor is concerned about your weight, he or she can recommend a couple of goals.
For some kids, the doctor may recommend losing some weight, but this should be done with the doctor’s help. Kids who need to lose weight may visit with a dietitian who can explain how to reduce calories safely while still getting all the necessary nutrients.
A．It is important to form a good eating habit.
B．Being overweight can cause health problems.
C．Not eating properly can be very harmful to kids.
D．Unlike adults, kids are still growing and developing.
E．Talk to your doctor if you have questions about your weight.
F．All foods and many drinks contain calories, a kind of energy.
G．However, most of kids do not need to and should not diet this way.
23、Researchers have found multilingualism(多语言能力)is good for economy. Countries which actively encourage the development of different languages gain a range of rewards，from more successful exports to a more creative workforce.
“Language matters on a larger national level and at the level ot smaller companies，” said Hogan-Brun，a researcher in language study. Switzerland，for example，owes 10% of its GDP to its multilingual background. The country has four national languages. Britain，on the other hand，is thought to lose about 3.5％of its GDP every year since 95％of its population speaks English，which is the primary language of the country.
What Hogan-Brun said is reasonable. Languages partly can help build trade relations. A study of small and medium-sized companies in Sweden and Germany found that those that invested more in languages were able to export more goods. German companies that invested heavily in multilingual staff added 10 export countries to their markets. Companies that invested less said they missed out on business deals.
Researchers have also long stressed the individual benefits of speaking more than one language. Several studies show that languages help promote earning power. According to a Canadian study，women and men who can speak several languages earn 3.6％and 6.6％more than their English-only colleagues respectively. The twist：This is true even if they don’t use their second language for work. “It seems that you don’t have to actually speak a second language on the job to receive the financial rewards，”said an economics professor. He thought that this was because knowing a second language was seen as a sign of power. Beyond these， immediate economic rewards，languages can help a country’s workforce in long-term ways. Multilingualism has been shown to delay memory loss. It has also been associated with a better ability to concentrate and process information.
【1】What can multilingual countries expect?
A．Large numbers of imported goods.
B．New chances of developing education.
C．Productive workers with great creativity.
D．Powerful comprehensive natmnal power.
【2】Why does the author list the statistics in paragraph 2?
A．European countries are rich.
B．Language research is important.
C．The number of English speakers is increasing.
D．Multilingualism can promote national economic growth.
【3】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3 ?
A．Add some forecast intormation.
B．Support Hogan-Brun’s viewpoint.
C．Introduce a new topic for discussion.
D．Give some advice to small companies.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A．Women learn more languages than men.
B．bood native language is a sign of power.
C．Being multilingual benefits brain health.
D．Canadians prefer using their second language.
24、Interested in learning a new language but don’t know where to start? Here are the best online language learning courses we’ve put together for your reference.
Rosetta Stone
Price: $ 7.99 per month — $ 199 one-time payment
Number of languages: 28
Rosetta Stone has long been known as the go-to service for new language learners. It offers lessons that are short enough to complete each day, but long enough to actually get something out of. Rosetta Stone’s interface is generally easy to use, and its lessons include reading, writing, speaking and listening, all in one lesson. You can also choose to subscribe to a monthly payment or purchase a lifetime license.
Duolingo
Price: Free — $ 6.99 per month
Number of languages: 36
Duolingo has risen as a serious competitor to Rosetta Stone over the past few years. The service is perhaps best known for its Android and iOS apps, and those apps are available for free — which makes it easy to practice your chosen language without having to make a serious commitment. Alternatively, you can sign up for Duolingo Plus, which removes ads, offers offline courses, and more. Many consider Duolingo to be better for those who want to practice a language rather than learn from the very beginning.
Babbel
Price: $ 6.95 per month — $ 12.95 per month
Number of languages: 14
Looking for a service to challenge your language-learning skills? Babbel may be the way to go. Babbel is excellent at teaching phrases and words that you’ll actually use on a day-to-day basis. The service is also relatively cheap, so if you’re unsure if you want to commit to learning a new language yet, the low subscription prices ensure you don’t have to make a huge commitment.
Memrise
Price: $ 6.67 per month — $ 119.99 one-time payment (extra 10% off before July)
Number of languages: 16
If you learn best through repetition and flashcards, then Memrise may be the service for you. It’s relatively inexpensive, making it easier to sign up.

25、 Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has _______ it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.
This is _______ by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)(a somewhat new. divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas—which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out-into a piece of advice that, to _______ happiness, people should "build a life that requires _______ decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.
On an instinctive level, Cerf's idea _______: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of _______ people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that. _______ consistently ordering the second menu item, he never picks where to eat. Rather, he _______ his decision to his dining partner—which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts—and always lets them pick.
While it’s _______ what, if any scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more ________ than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设)：If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架),choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力)or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力)should be a ________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows most of the time it is, ________ you introduce more choices.
When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20 including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their ________. When the choices were taken away in later trials, the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.
As Quanta details, according to a model called “divisive normalization”(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So if you have two things that are clearly ________ brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable, the brain docs its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices ________ that ability out.
