【題目】

Because I'm a writer and book lover, others would naturally think that I started to like literature (文學(xué)) from an early age. Actually, I once saw reading as a frightening thing that would always be difficult. Then I discovered books that caught my imagination-stories like The Little House Series and A Little Princess. Can you imagine how a reluctant (不情愿的) reader became a book lover and later an author?

This row of books that changed my life now decorates my desk. These stories are so dear that they feel like part of me.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett—I began to think that if I looked carefully enough, I would find a secret garden in my backyard and bring it back to life.

A Friend in the Storm by Cheryl Ricker—This book of poetry got me through some of life's most difficult times.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl—This is the book that made me want to be a writer someday.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo—Inspired (鼓舞) by it, I wrote a three- part blog post for books, started giving it to kids as gifts, and still listed it as one of my favorite stories.

Every book in the row inspired, comforted, or challenged me. I know today that, while many are well-known titles and a few were written by not-so-famous authors, they all remind me that we can never know what we will do with our talents. What can we do? Just follow our hearts.

1Which book helped the author get through hard times?

A.The Secret GardenB.A Friend in the Storm

C.Les MiserablesD.Anna Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

3What's the author's suggestion for us?

【題目】Inside Animal Minds

Irene Pepperberg, a graduate of Harvard University, was interested in learning if animals could think. The best way to do this, she reasoned, was to talk to them. So she bought an African grey parrot she named Alex and taught him to reproduce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.” She explains.

When Pepperberg began her research with Alex, very few scientists agreed that animals were able to think. How could a scientist prove that animals might, in fact, have intelligence (智力)? “That’s why I started my studies with Alex.” Pepperberg says.

Alex the parrot was a surprisingly good talker. He learned how to use his voice to imitate (模仿) almost 100 English words, including those for foods, colors, shapes and numbers. Although imitation was once considered a simple skill, in recent years, scientists have reported that it’s a very difficult ability. It requires the imitator to form an image of the other person’s body and actions in their mind and then put his own body parts into same place. It is a behavior that shows self-awareness (自我意識). Because Alex had mastered many English words, Pepperberg could ask him questions about a bird’s basic understanding of the world. Alex could count, describe shapes and colors; he even had a basic understanding of the idea of zero.

Many of Alex’s skills are normally only for humans and primates (靈長類). But parrots, live a long time in mixed societies. And like primates, these birds must watch the changing relationships within the group. This may explain Alex’s ability to learn a human language. Parrots learn to pronounce and use our words so they can become a part of our group.

Many researchers say that creativity and language in animals, like other forms of intelligence, have developed. “People were surprised to discover that some primates make tools,” says Alex Kacelnik, an animal researcher at Oxford University. “But people also thought, ‘Well, they share our ancestry (祖先) — of course they are smart.’ Now we are finding these kinds of behaviors in some birds. But we don’t have a recently shared ancestry with birds. It means,” Kacelnik continues, “intelligence is not something only for primates or humans.”

1Which of Alex’s skills showed self-awareness?

A.Describing colors.

B.Doing simple maths.

C.Copying human sounds.

D.Understanding the idea of zero.

2What do parrots and primates have in common?

A.They both watch the relationships within the group.

B.They both lived a long time in the same society.

C.Neither of them can reproduce English words.

D.Neither of them likes to be part of a group.

3Kacelnik probably agrees that ______.

A.some birds are more intelligent than humans

B.birds share a common ancestry with humans

C.only humans and primates are able to think

D.some animals are surprisingly intelligent

4What is the passage mainly about?

A.Research that shows intelligence is not limited to humans.

B.Ways of teaching animals to become more intelligent.

C.How human and animal intelligence are different.

D.How animals can communicate with humans.
