There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.
This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.
To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants’ slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.
From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant----more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!

I know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his birth, I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven 29 years in the world with the attention of those around me. But when Rohan was born, life 30 . Suddenly I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.
Finally, I felt my 31 at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what 32 me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange, the only person in this house 33 did not like him. Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and 34 asked him to leave me alone.
Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, 35 I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand, completely 36 from my mind, reached through the bars (护栏). At once, he reached out his small hand and softly touched 37 . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone who made me 38 so important? For the 39 time, I saw my brother, not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored (宠爱), but through the eyes of a 40 .

I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. My teacher’s last 36 of the term was called “ Smile”. I am a very friendly person and always 37 at everyone. So I thought this would be very 38 .
Soon after we were given the project, my 39 went out to McDonald’s. We were waiting to be 40 , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to 41 , and even my husband did. There standing behind me were two homeless men 42 .
As I looked down at the short gentleman with 43 eyes, he said, “ Good day.” The second man stood behind his friend. I 44 the second man was mentally challenged(智障)and the blue-eyed gentleman was his helper.
The young 45 at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, “ Coffee is all ,Miss.” Because that was all they could 46 .
I smiled and asked the young lady to give me two more breakfast meals on a 47tray(托盘). I then said to the men, “ I did not do this for you. God is here 48 through me to give you hope.”
When I joined my husband, he smiled at me, saying, “That is 49 God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.”
I returned to 50 with this story in hand. I 51 “my project” and the teacher read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “ Can I 52 this with the class?”
I slowly 53 and she began to read and that was when I knew that we, as human beings, share this to help people and to be 54.
In my own way I had 55 the people at McDonald’s, my husband, sons, teacher, and every person that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

Harry Leibowitz asked himself that question in 1996. As an answer, he and his wife, Kay, created the World of Children organization and began handing out awards to kids and adults whose work has helped kids all over the world. The awards the World of Children presents are nicknamed(给……起绰号)the “ Children’s Nobel Prize”.
“You know, children are so important,” Leibowitz, a retired business manager, told me. “ We should have prizes for children if we’re going to have prizes for everything else.”
Talia Leman, from Iowa, was awarded a Founder’s Youth Award for Leadership this year. She is only 13 years old, but she has completed a lot. In 2005, she founded “ RandomKid”. Since then, it has raised more than$10 million to help kids in 48 states in the U.S. and in 19 other countries.
One place helped by RandomKid was a school built in Cambodia to enable 300 kids to go to school. The organization has also helped fix a school for 200 kids in Louisiana, and provided interactive play centers that serve more than 500 kids in hospitals in Iowa. In faraway places like Africa, RandomKid has provided money to buy water pumps(水泵).
Talia never thought that the organization she founded would be as successful as it has become. She said, “ My first goal was to raise $1million. That seemed really high, but when you reach a goal, you always wind up reaching higher, and we actually raised $10 million.”
I asked her what advice she would offer to other young people who want to help kids in need. “ Well, I’d say the first thing would be to find an adult and tell them your idea,” Talia said. “ They’re really the people who can help, and from there I think it can just really take off.”
小题1: The purpose of the first two paragraphs is to tell us .
A.the origin of the Nobe1 Prize |
B.the achievements Harry and his wife made |
C.how the “ Children’s Nobe1 Prize” was started |

A.She founded a hospital for 500 kids in Iowa. |
B.She offered money to buy water pumps for Africans. |
C.She helped teach 300 kids in a school in Cambodia. |
D.She built a school for 200 kids in Louisiana. |
A.To ask for an idea from adults. | B.To set a higher goal at first. |
C.To win help from adults. | D.To make an idea become popular. |
If there were any justice(公正)in this world, early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing. And late-airport people would be punished. But early-airport people get ulcers(溃疡), heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. Late-airport people almost don’t realize they are flying.
A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God doesn’t want you to go.” This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.
Early-airport people suffer another “name”. They are called exactly what they are -wimps(窝囊废). I know. I was an early-airport person for years. “My baggage will get on the plane first,” I told myself. Indeed it would, which made it the last baggage they took off the plane after landing.
Another strange thing: No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I thought it was a trick. I thought there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said: “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is , give me his seat.”
After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late –airport people:
They always marry each other.

A.late-airport persons are often nervous |
B.early-airport persons are always at ease during the flight |

B.offer suggestions about having a good plane trip |
C.express the writer’s anxiety about taking a plane |
D.show people’s different attitudes toward catching planes |
A.an early-airport woman | B.a late-airport woman |
C.a hot-tempered woman | D.a sensitive woman |
I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员)at a restaurant a few months ago. 71 One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter(柜台). 72 I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (现金). 73
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74 I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim(认领)it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75 The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could buy.
A.He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet. |
B.Later I thought about it again. |
C.To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me. |
D.So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned. |
F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
