18、ir brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to re
19、ceive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.

20、oast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.

Now a new book claims to cast
25、light on the contents of the royal matriarchs main possession.Whats In The Queens Handbag And Other Royal Secrets reveals that though the 81yearold British monarch(君主)doesnt carry cash, keys or passportsince she doesnt own oneher bag is far from empty. Inside are a collection of little presents from
26、 her children, a makeup case, some family photos, and a camera sometimes. Theres also an sshaped metal hook that she places on the dinner tables edge to hang her bag from so that it doesnt touch the floor.Should you ever meet the Queen, its not whats in her bag but what she does with it that should
27、concern you. She uses her bags, of which she has about 200 made by Londonbased firm Launier, to send signals to her staff.Before dining with the Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top.On walkabouts, she holds the b
28、ag to one side to show she intends to move on, at which point a ladyinwaiting joins the conversation, allowing her to slip away without causing offence.When at a banquet, if the Queens bag is placed on the floor, then its a sign that shes not finding the conversation interesting, and wants nothing m

33、,” Jeffrey Kluger, a father of two daughters, describes what happens in our life, about which we may not show much concern. For example, he claims that “95 percent of parents in the world have a favorite child and the other 5 percent are lying.”Kluger may be overstating the figures for dramatic effe
34、ct but despite every parents strong denial (否认) that they have a favorite child scientific research shows that he is not far off the truth.According to a recent study by Professor Scott and other researchers from the University of California which followed 384 sibling pairs and their parents for thr
35、ee years 65 percent of the mothers and 70 percent of fathers showed a preference for one child. As this was among families that knew they were being monitored, theres a strong possibility that a significantly larger number of parents could favor a child in life.Favoritism is certainly a controversia
36、l topic. When raised as a subject for discussion among parents, it always arouses a stream of great annoyance and immediate denials. But interestingly, a lot of personal anecdotes appear from parents who say theywereovershadowedby a favored sibling, or were, indeed, their mother or fathers favorite.
37、Other research, where siblings have been asked to say who their mother and father favor, suggests that mothers do tend to show a preference for their first-born son, but fathers often show great affection for their youngest daughters. Parents will often be drawn to the child who is easiest to get al
38、ong with or the child that shares similar character to them. For example, mom will have a special bond with her sensitive son who has a talent for art, while dad will pay special attention to his sporty daughter.Professor Scott says being favored or not in a family can color our behavior as adults.
39、“Children who feel they are less loved within their family are more likely to develop low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.” He also agrees that favored children can find life more difficult when they have to struggle to manage their existence in the real world.51.In Paragraph 2, what does the wr
40、iter think of Klugers claim?A.It is a fact tosome degree.B. It produces dramatic effect.C.It isthe result of a study.D. It is nothing but a warning.52. When asked if they have a favorite child, parents tend to _.A.show a great interest in the topicB. complain about being ignored when youngC.be angry
41、 and refuse to admit itD. express their preference for the youngest child53.The underlined word“overshadowed”in Paragraph 4 can be understood as“_”.A.made the object of envyB.given lots of protectionC.treated much betterD.made to seem less important54. Professor Scott believes that _.A.favored child
42、ren will have more courage when facing difficulties in lifeB.parents way of treating childrenaffectstheirbehavior whentheygrowupC.being lessfavored in a family does more harm than being favoredD.least-favored children will not show great respect for their parents55.

45、d at a place called Canine Companions for Independence, located on twelve acres of land in Santa Rosa (California). The land was donated by the cartoonist Charles Shultz. “We train four different types of dogs here,” said Ken Kirsh, a dog trainer there. “Hearing dogs, service dogs, skilled companion
46、 dogs, and facility dogs.”Trainers work with Labrador retrievers and golden retrievers for hours a day, but not every dog is good enough to be a working dog.The work is a serious business.
