8、 your distance.Colin BristowI was working as a guide in Botswana. There was a sudden movement to my left, and an elephant crashed through some small trees less than 20 metres away. Suddenly I was knocked over by one of the tourists crying “run, run” at the top of his voice. My backpack got tangled u
9、p (缠绕) in some small trees so I couldnt move. Elephants have poor eyesight (视力) and this may have been what allowed me to run away. I managed to free myself from my backpack and ran for my life.Baz RobertsOne night I was just falling asleep when Fauls voice woke me, “Theres a bear in the camp. Im se
10、rious!” I went to unzip the tent door. Directly in front was a bear about ten metres away. It heard the sound of my tent zip and turned to face me. Then I started shouting.

15、y eating, but must walk about 4 miles a day in search of food. The average (通常的) elephant lives about 70 years, and its sharp memory allows it to remember places where it has found food as long as 30 years earlier, even as a baby.In an elephants travels, it comes across other elephants also looking

The money goes to support feeding the elephants in the zoos. Most felt that the elephants were only capable of painting a

22、 say “please” and “thank you”, you remind them to eat with a knife and fork, and you never, ever let them pick their nose in public. But theres one important lesson that you might be forgetting and its nothing you can cover in a simple conversation.According to a new study in the journal Science, ba
23、bies receive more than genetics (基因) from their parents. They can also get certain good qualities (品质), such as persistence (坚持不懈), by watching how adults behave. Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology say that babies who watched an adult struggle (努力) with and then triumph over someth
24、ing were more likely to show persistence themselves when given a new task.The team at MIT studied 262 babies between the ages of 13 and 18 months. They placed them in one of three situations. In the first one, the lead researcher struggled with two different toys problems before solving them, lettin
25、g the baby watch while she did so. The second time, the researcher solved the problems but did not struggle with them. And for the third scene, she did not do anything.After each scene, the researcher left a small musical toy with the child. She showed the baby that it could play music but did not t
26、each them how to turn it on. The babies who had watched the researcher struggle discovered and pressed the toys button (按钮) a much greater number of times than those in the last two groups. In other words, the babies did not copy what they had watched; they learned not to give up, instead. Now, the
27、researchers are interested in finding which ways of talking with babies influence them the most. They also hope to know if the results can work in the real world, as well as whether the lesson of persistence might last into adulthood. 28. What important lesson might parents forget?A. Asking their ki
28、ds to be polite.B. Setting an example for their kids. C. Teaching their kids good table manners.D. Using proper words in front of their kids.29.

Learn more about babies language.DThis journey began this morning almost an hour later than I had planned, although I had completed my packing before eight oclock. I was quite clear about the fact that once I left, my house would stand empty for
31、 probably the first time since the day it was built.

32、 and further from the house, I found the surroundings (周围的事物) grow unrecognizable. I began to have a feeling of unease mixed with excitement. I took a turning and found myself on a road circling the edge of a hill. I could sense the steep (陡峭的) drop to my left. I felt a sense of alarm that I was per
33、haps not on the correct road at all, but speeding off in the wrong direction into a wilderness. It was only the feeling of a moment, but it caused me to slow down. And even when I was sure I was on the right road, I felt forced to stop the car a moment to think carefully.I decided to step out and st
34、retch (伸展) my legs a little. On the one side of the road, thickets and small trees rose sharply, while on the other I could now see the distant countryside and a town nearby.I walked a little way along the roadside, when I heard a voice behind me. Until this point I had believed myself quite alone a
35、nd I turned in some surprise. Sitting on the large stone was a thin, white-haired man. He called to me again and signaled me to join him. For a moment, I took him for a homeless man, but then I saw he was just some local man enjoying the fresh air and summer sunshine, and saw no reason not to do so.
