18、ggle(摆动) sometimes.Hippos look funny, but you shouldnt judge a book by its cover. Hippos are extremely violent and dangerous. In fact, they kill more people than any other animal in Africa. Think of how many dangerous animals that Africa has. It has got crocodiles, snakes, lions, elephants and many
19、more. Hippos are more dangerous than all of them.Hippos are naturally very dangerous animals, but there are some situations that make them even more dangerous than normal. They are very territorial. That means that they stay in one area which they consider to be their private area . If a person or a
20、nimal enter a hippos area, the hippo will attack. Hippos also often attack when they are returning to the water. Hippos eat on land and return to water at dusk. If a hippo sees an animal when its returning to the water, it will become violent.Hippos are so strong that they often kill crocodiles. The
21、re are two reasons that explain why hippos and crocodiles often fight. First of all, hippos and crocodiles live in the same areas. Since hippos are territorial, they dont like having crocodiles nearby. Also, crocodiles often eat young hippos. For that reason, adult hippos frequently kill crocodiles.
22、 Mother and daughter hippos have close relationships. However, hippos dont have any other close relationship with each other. Hippos often live together in large groups, but scientists dont know why. Its hard to study the behaviour of male and female hippos, because males and females look the same.H
23、ippos are violent, but they are herbivores. A herbivore is an animal that eat only plants. An adult hippo eats about 50 kilograms of plants every day. Hippos are much more comfortable in the water, but they can run fast on land. Their top speed is about 19 kilometers per hour. Thats much faster than

26、als usually eat plants.27. What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To inform. B. To entertain. C. To instruct. D. To persuade. CThe Great Sphinx of Giza, Egypt, is one of civilizations greatest mysteries. No one knows for sure exactly when, why or how it was built. It is an enormous sculp
27、ture, believed to be the biggest ever created. It measures about 241 feet(73.5 meters) long and 66 feet(20 meters) high. Due to its unknown origin, this massive creation has puzzled locals, tourists, historians, and archaeologists for centuries.The Sphinx has the body of a lion and the head of a man
28、, which gives it the appearance of a mythical(神话里的)creature. It remains mostly intact today, with the exception of its nose. Many legends surround the missing nose, but a widely accepted explanation is that a former ruler had the nose carved off at some point after its creation.Most archaeologists b
29、elieve that the Sphinx was built about 4,600 years ago by a pharaoh(法老), or ruler, named Khafre. His pyramid, the giant tomb that holds Khafres body, is located directly behind the Sphinx. Stone blocks cut out in order to carve the Sphinxs face were used to build the Khafre Valley Temple at about th
30、e same time. Some historians also believe the Sphinxs face was modeled after the face of Khafre.For most of its existence, the Sphinx was buried in sand. One story claims that around 1400 BC, the pharaoh Thutmose IV dreamed that the Sphinx ordered him to clear away the sand in return for the crown o
31、f Egypt. The sand soon buried the Sphinx again, however. In the 1850s, the sand was partially cleared, and in the 1930s, the Sphinx was completely exposed. Now, however, wind, humidity(湿热）,and smog are causing the Sphinx to crumble. Archaeologists must act quickly to preserve this mysterious symbol

DSalvador Dali wasnt exactly modest. And hell tell you so,too, face to face at the Salvador Dali Museum
35、 in St. Petersburg, Florida. Here, the Spanish surrealist is alive and well, ready to talk to you in person about his art.Well, sort of. This Dali is brought to life through the magic of artificial intelligence. Its a newly opened exhibition called “ Dali lives”, and it is more than 2,000 Dali works
36、 in about 20,000 square feet of exhibit space. Three video boards showing a life-size Dali, standing 58tall, form the exhibit-one at the museum gate, one on the third floor by the main exhibits (including Dalis paintings and photographs, two technologically treated paintings allowing visitors to put
37、 themselves inside the paintings, and a special experience of “walking” through Dalis 1934 painting “Archaeological Reminiscence of Millets Angelus”) and one in the gift shop on the way out. Each one offers a different experience when you push a doorbell on the board to get Dalis attention.The most
38、surprising thing about “Dali Lives” is that youre dealing with a version of the artist himself. It looks like Dali, it sounds like Dali, it is Dali. The museum worked together with the San Francisco advertising agency Goodby SilvrsteinPartners to achieve this, feeding hundreds of new interviews and
39、words from his written works into an artificial intelligence system to recreate the artist. The result was a living, moving version of Dali ready to converse with anyone there, answering their questions. “Dali himself was at the forefront of technology and was always experimenting with and trying ne

43、ure sorry. But its hard to apologize. 36 Sometimes we just dont know how to do it. Here are some tips that may make it easier to say youre sorry. 37 The first step in apologizing is to admit to yourself that you have offended someone. And then its important to let the person you hurt know that you d
44、idnt mean to do harm. At the same time, you must show that you take your mistakes seriously. Recognize that your actions caused a problem for the other person.Show your regret. The other person needs to see that you have suffered, too. 38 For instance, “I felt bad the minute I told your secret. I am
45、 ashamed of myself.”Repair the damage. 39 If you damaged someones property, offer to fix it. If the damage isnt so obvious, ask, “What can I do to make it up to you?” There may be nothing concrete(具体的）you can do, but the offer must be sincere. “Ill try to keep my mouth shut in the future. Meanwhile,
46、 let me buy you a cup of coffee.” Another way to repair the damage is to send a note or a small gift.Use good timing. 40 For example, if you bump(碰撞）into someone, say youre sorry right away. Dont wait until the next day to apologize. However, if you have done something more serious, like insulting (
47、侮辱）a friend, your apology should be more thoughtful. A quick apology might seem insincere. Take the time to sit down, look the person in the eye, and apologize honestly.Remember, its not about who “won” or “lost”. Its about keeping a strong friendship.A. Take responsibility and explain.B. An apology
48、 must correct the injury.C. Apologize right away for little things.D. Many of us are ashamed or have too much pride.E. Come right out and say you are sorry or ashamed.F. Sometimes little comments or actions can hurt or offend others.G. You may know it right away that you have done something hurtful.

A few recent studies suggest tha
53、t 52 new skills, such as photography, for even three months may strengthen the functioning of the brain in adults.I would take these studies one step further to argue that a(n) 53 cause of cognitive decline is the fact that adults learn fewer new skills 54 to children. If we can 55 how to learn well
54、 as adults, then perhaps we can 56 cognitive decline.Adults are often 57 to go outside of their comfort zones. We fear looking 58 for making mistakes; we fear failure could cost us our jobs. Perhaps a reason why we suffer from cognitive decline is that we do not engage in learning new skills for man
