If we look aft
44、er them properly, we learn what they like and dislike. We do not set out to gain this knowledge purposely, but in attending to our pets we gain it by the way. It is got without our realizing it.In keeping our dogs or cats we learn about various diseases that can affect them, and the cures for these
45、diseases. We learn how much sleep they need and what kind of food keeps them healthy. In looking after our fish we learn about the composition of water. We got to know what kind of fish can live peacefully together and what kinds are hostile to each other. We learn that animals, fish and birds have
46、a lot of things in common with human beings.If children keep pets, their general education is helped by this kind of incidental knowledge.

I find that my parents, long dead, now still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever
54、did when they were alive. I still live to please them and Im still surprised by their reactions.

61、y at home C. Spend every day meaningfully in memory of the death D. Try to keep violence and murder far away from societyEA new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as the result of a condition known as jet lag. Jet lag results from flying long distance in airplanes. People with
62、 jet lag may feel extremely tiredfor several days. They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering. Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study, which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines. They had
63、 served passengers on airplanes for five years. These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones. In the study, the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag. Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flight
64、s. The other half spent more than fourteen days in their areas. The researcher took some saliva from the womens mouths to measure levels of a hormone that increases during stress (紧张). He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen. And he took pictures
65、of their brains tomeasure the size of the brains temporal lobes (脑叶). It was found that the women who had less time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes. This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen. The same group performed worse and had slower reaction tim
66、es on the visual memory test; and their saliva samples showed higher .levels of stress h hormones. The researcher believes that the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip. He says airline workers told him their ability to remember got worse after working on planes for about four
67、years. Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory. Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain. They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently (永久性的) affect memo
68、ry.72. According to the text, jet lag_. A. can cause difficulties in speaking B. can make people feel tired for a few weeks C. can be only found in flight attendants D. can be caused by flying over several times zones73. It can be inferred from the text that_. A. the conclusion is confused by many s
69、cientists B. scientists fear that this research is not done properly C. every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests D. the women who were examined in the research were not healthy74. From the result of the research we can see that_. A. the women who have longer rest at home show be
70、tter memory B. the women who fly in a short time have smaller right temporal lobes C. the women who have longer flights fail the memory test D. the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones75.
