African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species.
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard University when they were examing the
genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon modern elephants-the Asian
elepphant, African forest elephant, and African savanna elephant.
Once they obastain DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons, the
team comparted them with DNA from modern elephants. They found their amazement that mordern forest
and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African
forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took
place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all
the scientists.
There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species, but this
is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were
two populationgs of the same species, despite the elephants" significant size differences. The savanna elephant
has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an averate shoulder double the
weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so differrent does not neccssarily mean they are
different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfried Roca, assitant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at t he University of Illinois, said,
"We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two difficult units for conservation purpose.
Since 1950, all Afican elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and
savanna elephants have been distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先) for
conservation purposes."

teenagers, many information resousces on the Internet can be used. As a matter of fact, there are educational,
music and art websites that are truly helpful to teeagers, because they can help make one"s life easier.
Education websites are helpful to a teenager in doing school work and searching for a colleag. Some can
help studying for testes, explaining a lesson, and doing homeward.Some can help find the right school based
on one"s interests. And still others have pages devoted to the social life at each colleges or the species activities
that at a certain school. Some free music sites enable a teenager to diversify their musical_ tastes. On these
sites, all types of music are available such as pop, jazz and country. One can type in a song,category or artist
and his or her entire catalog appears. Then the listener can make multiple play lists without creating an account
(账户) with the site. There various art websites that can help students to appreciate and create art pieces. On
these sites, a student can view numerous photos and art pieces from different. Mediums or create an account
with the website to upload their art pieces for people to see. In addition, one can enjoy various art people have
created on display for the rest of the world.Truly informative resources offered on the Internet. The best
suggestion one can receive is to try to look for new websites that can help in the educational,music, or art area

famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)?
Shouldn"t we know who they are?
Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so
strongly about this matter that she"s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning "who" invented
"what", however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the "why" and "how" questions.
According to Mclean, "When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to
recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try."
So,just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902
after a visit to Mew York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so
she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the
windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn"t be a buolt-in devic for cleaing the window. Still
wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions.
One of her ideas, a lever (操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would contral an arm on the outside, became
the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations,It"s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A.
Morgan"s traffic light. It"s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett"s innovation that
makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous
C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous
D. not useful, though their inventors are famous
B. inform students of the windshield wiper"s invention
C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D. prepare students to try theie own invention
B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D. not related to Professor Joan McLean"s lectures
B. How to Design a Built-in Dervice for Cleaning the Window?
C. Shouldn"t We Know Who Inventd the Windshield Wiper?
D. Shouldn"t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?
important measurement. An animal that is aware (意识) of itself has a high level of intelligence.
Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own
reflected image (反射出的影像). Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention to the
reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize
that the image in the mirror is of themselves.
Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.
"We thought that elephants were the next important animal," said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation
Society, an author of the study with Joshua M. Plotnik and Fans B. M. de Waal of Emory University. With
their large brains, Reiss said, elephants "seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins."
The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-
square mirror on a wall of the animals" play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened
with cameras, including one built in the mirror.
The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.
Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She
could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her
long nose.
Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a
better way."
B. Whether they have self-awareness.
C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.
D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.
B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.
C. They are included in the study by Reiss.
D. They are already known to be intelligent.
B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.
C. They are included in the study by Reiss.
D. They are already known to be intelligent.
"wash up". An application is calling on the next government to bring it back.
At school the children are taught to add up and subtract (减法) but, extraordinarily, are not routinely
shown how to open a bank account-let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and
demanding world.
Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces
to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum
in England. Children from five to 16 should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions,
they say. And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children, Schools and Families bill that was shelved
by the government in the so-called "wash-up" earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament
was dismissed. Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most
frustrating omissions of the curriculum.
As the Personal Finance Education Group (Pfeg) points out, the good habits of young children do not
last long. Over 75% of seven- to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17, over half of them
are in debt to family and friends. By this age, 26% see a credit card or overdraft (透支) as a way of extending
their spending power. Pfeg predicts that these young people will"find it much harder to avoid the serious
unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents" generation unless they receive good quality
financial education while at school."
The UK has been in the worst financial recession (衰退) for generations. It does seem odd that-unless
parents step in-young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when
they turn up at university. In a recent poll of over 8,000 people, 97% supported financial education in schools,
while 3% said it was a job for parents.
B. how to deal with the financial crisis
C. teaching young people about money
D. teaching students how to study effectively
B. pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract
C. students have been taught to manage their finances
D. laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
B. promote the connection of schools and families
C. ask the government to dismiss the parliament
D. appeal for the curriculum of financial education
B. teenagers spend their money as planned
C. parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids
D. it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone
B. show the seriousness of the financial recession
C. make the readers aware of burden of the parents
D. illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal
