Scientists recently found that rats do, too. Most people dont like rats. In many peoples eyes, rats are
15、only bad. But Jean Decety and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that rats are kind, warm-hearted animals. They can feel each others pain. Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages for two weeks. During this time, they got to know each other. Then they put
16、one of the rats from each pair into a small container (容器) in the cages. The small container had a door. It was rigged(操纵) to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped rats squeaked(吱吱叫 ) to express their discomfort . The other rats of the pairs could see their suffering fri
17、ends clearly. In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They kept tryingto save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the rats favourite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didnt eat it until they had saved their friends successfully. S
18、cientists also found that female rats tended to act more empathetic than male ones. The results are the first to show that rats take action in response to anothers trouble, Decety said. Monkeys and chimpanzees (黑猩猩 ) have similar behavior. But unlike those animals, rats can be ready used in laborato

22、ears ago, my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters dress and picked out a beautiful skirt: Jane bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago, She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion. he said. I guess this was the occasion: it was the f
23、uneral of my sister, after her unexpected death. He took the skirt and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the funeral. Then he closed the drawer and turned to me, Dont ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day youre alive is a special occasion. Im thinking about h
24、is words, and theyve changed the way l live my life. Im spending moretime with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a kind of experience to enjoy, not to suffer. Someday and one of these days are losing their importance on my vocabulary. If its
25、 worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. Ever since that day, I have been trying very hard not to put off, hold back or save anything that would add laughter and color to our lives.

What Is the Meaningful Life Like D. The Most Important Time in Your Life(C) It seems that theres a good reason why dogs are always seen a
29、s mans best friend. Scientists have found that dogs are the only animals that can read emotions(情感)in faces much like humans. The finding suggests that like an understanding friend, dogs can see if we are happy, sad, pleased or angry. When humans look at a new face, their eyes usually look across th
30、e left, falling on the right hand side of the persons face first. A possible reason for this is that the right side of the human face is better at expressing emotions. Scientists have now shown that pet dogs also have left gaze b/as(左视偏好), but only when looking at human faces. No other animal has be
31、en known to do like this before. Dr. Kun Guo showed 17 dogs pictures of human, dog and monkey faces as well as something else with his team. The dogs eyes and heads show a strong left gaze bias when the animals see human faces. But this did not happen when they were shown other pictures, including t
32、hose of dogs. Guo suggests that over thousands of years living with humans, dogs may have developed the left gaze bias as a way to guess our emotions. Recent studies show that the right side of our faces can express emotions better than the left. If true, then it makes sense for dogs and humans to s
33、ee the right hand side of a face first.( )39. Dogs left gaze bias happens when they look at _ A. dogs B. monkeys C. humans D. pictures( )40. Why are dogs seen as mans best friend according to the passage? A. Because dogs are the closest animals to humans. B. Because dogs can read the emotions in hum
34、ans faces easily. C. Because dogs can understand us better when we feel sad. D. Because dogs are good at expressing emotions.( )41. The passage mainly wants to tell us that .A. dogs have been mans best friends for thousands of yearsB. humans have a left gaze bias C. the left gaze bias works on dogs
35、D. dogs can read emotions the same as humans(D) Why do you study? Many students would simply reply: To get good result in the college entrance examination(高考). For several years, many have spoken out against the exams. Some say they have turned children into studying machines. Others think that one
36、exam cannot possibly demonstrate a students true level of knowledge. So, should the exams be canceled? Minister of Education Yuan Guiren doesnt think so.

37、n. However, we do need to change the exams, Yuan said on March 7. He has put an exam reforms at the center of his fourth year in office. I think the exam is a fair way to choose talented people.
