27、from East Africa- are finally starting to show their secrets, In 2011, scientists discovered that the rats laced their fur with a deadly poison. Now researchers report that these animals are surprisingly friendly toward each other and may even live in family groups. Sara Weinstein, a biologist, was
28、studying the poisonous rats but initially wasnt focused on their behavior, “The original goal was to look into the genetics (基因学),” she says. She wanted to understand how the rats were able to apply poison to their fur without becoming sick. The rats chew leaves and bark from poison arrow trees and
29、apply their now poisonous spit to their hair. The tree contains a class of chemicals that are very dangerous to most animals. “If we were to sit there and chew on one of these branches, we would certainly not be going about our normal activities,” Weinstein says. A person would probably throw up. An
30、d if someone consumed enough of the poison, their heart would stop beating. But scientists didnt know how common the friendly behavior was in the rats since the 2011 report focused on just one animal. To study the rats, the research team set up cameras to capture images (捕捉影像) of the animals at nigh
31、t. But in 441 nights, the rats tripped the cameras motion detectors only four times. The rats are probably too small and slow to set off the cameras, Weinstein says. The scientists placed several of the animals in a “rat house”, a small cow shed with video cameras inside. In the 432 hours of rat vid
32、eos with multiple rats in one space, the researchers could see how the rats interacted. At times, the animals would “comb” each others fur. Sometimes, male and female rats formed a pair. A few of the adult rats also took care of young rats. The researchers think that these behaviors indicate that th
33、e animals might live in pairs that raise the young, as a family group. 28. What had Sara Weinstein planned to study about African crested rats?A. Why they live together. B Their strange behavior. C. How they survive alone. D. The genetics about them. 29. What can we know about the arrow trees?A Most

36、arched how bad technology affected employees mental health. The research involved experiments in which brainwaves were measured as people were put through a series of bad technology experiences, The experiments involved adults of many ages with different levels of computer skills. Subjects were test
37、ed with simple computer problems, like troubled sign-in operations, Others dealt with slow - speed connections to the Internet, Still others experienced system crashes. “The moment people started using bad technology, we saw a doubling of their levels of stress,” said Olivier Oullier, president of E
38、MOTIV, which is a technology company. “I was a bit surprised by that, because you rarely see those levels going so high,” he said. The experiments showed that technology related stress had a lasting effect, he added.In addition to tech failures affecting the mental health of employees, the problems
39、can also affect a companys business, the research found. Such problems can reduce productivity, especially that of younger workers, who rely heavily on technology to work. The research showed a thirty percent production drop among study subjects under age 40. And lower productivity in turn increased
40、 their stress levels. As stressful as the tech problems were for those in the study, Oullier said, such effects were likely to be even more severe in the real world. He said the subjects knew they were involved in an experiment so they may not have been as personally affected by the results.As Oulli
41、er has pointed out, another issue is that many employees are working remotely and this can also add to tech difficulties. In an office, computer support helpers are usually available to help workers solve tech problems. But working from a kitchen or home office, employees are often on their own. Whe
42、n they face more tech problems, they get more stressed. “When youre stuck at home and all you have is a computer provided by your employer, you might not have access to tech support,” Oullier said. “Thats why its s0 important when you re remote to have technology that works.”32. What did researchers
43、 do to all subjects in the experiment?A. They got them exposed to tech failures. B. They asked them to gain computer skills. C. They required them to calm others down. D. They tested them with complex problems. 33. Why are young employees affected more severely by tech failures?A. They have a prefer
44、ence for work from home offices. B. They have heavier dependence on technology at work. C. They play an important role in a companys tech business. D. They are not as skilled and experienced as old employees. 34. Which of the following statements does Olivier Oullier agree to?A. Remote work leads to
45、 lower productivity. B Tech- related stress has a temporary effect.C. Lack of tech support adds to stress levels.D. Access to technology ensures good health. 35. What is the best title for the text?A. Bad Technology Has Little to Do With Productivity. B. Tech Failures Can Make Employees More Stresse
46、d. C. Working Remotely Can Lead to Poor Mental Health. D. Computer Skills Are Particularly Necessary at Work. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Curious people are interested in the world around them and are full of questions.
