Monkeys seem to have a way with
numbers
．
A team of researchers trained three
Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different
symbols
made up of numbers
and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or
juice as a reward
（符号）
The researchers then tested how the
monkeys added the symbols to get the
reward
．

Here's how Harvard Medical School
scientist Margaret
Livingstone
，
who
led the team
，
described the
experiment
：
In
their cages the monkeys were provided with touch
screens
．
On
one part of the
screen
，
a symbol
would appear
，
and
on the other side two symbols inside a
circle were
shown
．
For
example
，
the
number 7 would appear on one side of the screen
and
the other end would have 9 and
8
．
If the monkeys
touched the left side of the
screen
，
they
would be rewarded with seven drops of
water or juice
；
if they touched the
circle
，
they
would
be rewarded with the sum of the
numbers-17 in this example
．
After carrying out hundreds
of tests
，
the
researchers found that the monkeys would choose
the
higher values more than half the
times
，
showing
that they were performing a simple
addition
，
not
just memorizing the value of two
numbers
．
When the team examined the results of
the experiment more closely
，
they noticed that the
monkeys tended to
underestimate
（低估）
a sum
compared with a single symbol when the two
were close in value-sometimes
choosing
，
for
example
，
a 13
rather than the sum of 8 and
6
．
The
underestimation was
systematic
：
When
adding two numbers
，
the monkeys always
paid
attention to the larger of the
two
，
and then
added only a small part of the smaller number
to it
．
，
．
Livingstone says
．
to the big number than the
little one
．
4.
What did the researchers do to the
monkeys before testing them
？
______
A.
They trained
them
．
B.
They named them
．
C.
They fed
them
．
D.
They examined
them
．
5.
How did the
monkeys get their reward in the
experiment
？
______
A.
By drawing a
circle
．
B.
By touching a
screen
．
C.
By watching
videos
．
D.
By mixing two
drinks
．
6.
What did
Livingstone's team find about the
monkeys
？
______
A.
They could
memorize numbers easily
．
B.
They could understand
simple words
．
C.
They could perform basic
addition
．
D.
They could hold their attention for
long
．
7.

I must have always known
reading was very important because the first
memories I have as a
child are almost
about books
．
There was not one night that I don't
remember mom reading me
a storybook by
my bedside
．
I was
completely inspired by the nice way the words
sounded
．
I always wanted to know what my mom was
reading
．
Hearing
mom say
，
what's written in the
newspaper this
morning
，
hands and
read it myself
．
I
wanted to be like my mom and know all of the
things she
knew
．
So I carried around a
book
，
and each
night
，
just to be
like her
，
I would
pretend
（假装）
to be
reading
．
This is how everyone learned to
read
．
We would
start off with sentences
，
then paragraphs
，
and then stories
．
It seemed an unending
journey
，
but even
as a six-year-old girl I realized that
knowing how to read could open many
doors
．
When mom
said
，
on the top s
helf
，
．
My progress in reading raised my
curiosity
，
and I
wanted to know everything
．
I often found myself telling my mom to
drive more slowly
，
第

< br>页
so that I could read
all of the road signs we
passed
．
Most of my reading through
primary
，
middle
and high school was factual
reading
．
I read
for
knowledge
，
and to make A's on my
tests
．
Sometimes
，
I would read a novel that my teacher
asked us to
，
but I didn't enjoy this type of
reading
．
I liked
facts
，
things
that happen in real
life
．
I thought anything too general left too
much room for argument
．
Yet
，
now that I'm growing and the world I
once knew as being so simple is becoming more
complex
，
I find myself needing a way to
escape
．
By
opening a novel
，
I can leave behind
my
worries and enter into a wonderful and mysterious
world where I am now a new
character
．
In these worlds I can become
anyone
．
I don't
have to write down what happened
or
what method the author was using when he or she
wrote this
．
I
just read to relax
．
We're taught to read
because it's necessary for much of human
understanding
．
Reading is an
important part
of my life
．
Reading satisfies my desire to keep
learning
．
And
I've found that
the possibilities that
lie within books are
limitless
．
8.
Why did the
author want to take the newspaper suddenly out of
mom's hands
？
______
A.
She was dying to know what had
happened
．
B.
She wanted mom to read the news to
her
．
C.
She couldn't wait to destroy the
newspaper
．
D.
She couldn't help but stop mom from
reading
．
9.

Paragraph 3
，

．
A.
her special way to find a place
B.
her eagerness to develop
her reading ability
C.
her
effort to remind mom to respect traffic rules
D.
her growing desire to
know the world around her
．
10.

thinks of novel reading as a way to ______
．
A.
develop a love for learning
B.
explore a mysterious land
C.
get away from a confusing
world
D.

11.

passage
？
______
A.
The Magic of
Reading
B.
Growing Up with
Reading
C.
The Pleasure of
Reading
D.
Reading Makes a
Full Man
D
When a language
dies
，
so does a
special way of seeing the
world
．
Time is
running out for
many
languages
．
Experts expect that of about
6
，
700 languages around the
world
，
40% could
disappear by the end of the
century
．
The UN
has made 2019 the International Year of Native
Languages to draw attention to the
problem
．
Slowly
，
countries are devoting more efforts to
it
．
Canada aims to pass a Native Language
Act before its elections in October
2019
．
The act
would give more than 65 languages
spoken by First Nations
，
Inuit and Metis peoples national
recognition
and
teaching resources
．
In government-funded boarding
schools
，
which
（认可）
operated from the 1880s
to 1996
，
native
children faced beatings or electric shocks if they
were
caught using their native
languages
．
revitalise native languages
as Canada put to destroy
them
，
，
national
chief of the
Assembly of First Nations
．
Legal recognition for a
language is the first step to bring a native
culture back from
disappearance
．
Maori is one of the success
stories
．
When it
became one of New Zealand's
official
languages in 1987
，
less than 20% of the Maori population
spoke it well enough to be
第

页
regarded as native
speakers
．
Today
it is off the endangered
list
．
The second step is to teach a new
generation of native
speakers
．
Technology is a big
help
．
Duolingo
，
a popular language-learning
app
，
recently
added Hawaiian and Navajo to
its
courses
．
BASABALI
，
another
language-learning app
，
uses Facebook to reach speakers
in the
countryside
．
Say
it in Saami is an online dictionary that
translates modern lingo into
languages
spoken by the Sami people in Northern
Europe
．
Saving rare languages needs people to
defend them
．
Bali
now asks officials to use Balinese on
Thursdays
．
The UN year will start projects that
could save thousands of
languages
．
The
challenge in 2019 will be to get others
to listen and start talking
．
12.

If you are already making the time to
exercise, it is good indeed! With such busy lives,
it can
be hard to try and find the time
to work out.
(1)
Working
out in the morning provides
additional
benefits beyond being physically fit.

Your
productivity is improved. Exercising makes you

whatever
is ahead of you for the day.
(2)
?
Your metabolism
(
新陈代谢
) gets a head start.

peaceful sleep when you are
very excited.
