Fish have different personalities which change as they experience life’s highs and lows．according to British biologists．

Researchers identified different“personalities” in their fish by observing the boldness or shyness of individuals，according to The Nature．Like people，some fish are very confident in the face of novelty(新奇事物)or conflict；while others are silent and fear．

The scientists selected particularly bold and shy rainbow trout，and tested whether they changed their outlook depending on what life threw at them．They arranged some fish to fight and others to  watch to  see how both the participants  and  observers  responded to victories  and defeats．Winning or losing a fight，or even watching fellow fish overcome the difficulties influenced the future behavior of the creatures studied in the lab．

The researchers made fish compete with much larger or smaller opponents．to ensure that they would win or lose their fights．These bold fish that won their fights tended to be even bolder when later presented with  a novel food  item；losing their fight caused them to be  much more cautious．

Fish also learn by watching others．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery object were much more nervous when later given a novelty item for themselves．

Predictably，shy fish that won a fight also gained more confidence，but surprisingly，shy fish that lost their fights also grew bolder when exploring strange new food，Sneddon said，adding that this could be due to what she calls a“desperado effect”(亡命徒效应)．

The new research suggests that animals can gradually adapt their personalities．The results echo the effects that life experience can have on human．

1.What does．the underlined word“creatures’’probably refer to?

A．Fish．            B．Participants．      C．Observers．       D．Researchers．

2.The third paragraph of the text is mainly about—————．

A．a conclusion of the research

B．an explanation of fish characters

C．a statement of the experiment

D．a description of fish fights

3.What can we know from the research?

A．Bold losing fish become—e bolder when presented With a novel food item．

B．Losing their fights causes the bold fish to be much more courageous．

C．Bold fish watching a shy fish exploring a mystery get less nervous．

D．Shy fish losing fights grow more confident in exploring new food．

4.What’s the main idea of the text?’

A．Fish have stress in the fierce fights．

B．Fish care about winning or losing a fight．

C．Fish have adaptable personalities．

D．Fish can learn a lot by watching others．

With high rents and low wage growth, it's hardly surprising that young adults increasingly rely on parents for financial support. 1. A survey last year estimated that the $500 billion in financial help that parents give adult children is double what those same parents manage to save for retirement. Nearly 75% parents reported they put their adult kids' needs ahead of retirement.

2. The less you have saved for retirement, the more likely you will feel money-stressed in retirement---that' s not the goal, right? —and you may end up needing to rely on your kids for help in your later years. That' s surely not an outcome the entire family wants.

The decision to provide financial support for an adult child is, of course, personal. That said, if you have even the tiniest worries about retirement security, you owe it to your entire family to reconsider your support. Not overnight, but by setting a timeline expectation for when your child will be independent. 3.

Let adult kids contribute to family expenses. Once an adult child has a job, even if they are still living at home, it's time to have them participate in paying bills. At least, they should pay their share of a family cellphone plan.

4. Helping an adult child get established is one thing, but often help can extend into financing a nicer — than — needed lifestyle. For example, give money for groceries so they don't exist on a poor diet. 5. However, buying for a new car (which should be a used car) or contributing to rent for their own place (rather than shared) is you not setting smart limits.

Anyway, you must have enough savings to take care of yourself.

A.Set limits on what you will help with.

B.Make a major financial sacrifice for adult kids.

C.Besides, helping rent a shared apartment is also reasonable.

D.While the support is financial, we' re not talking pocket money.

E.And most importantly, you can also establish clear financial boundaries.

F.You should reduce your budget to come up with the extra cash to help.

G.Parents who make that choice could set everyone up for a difficult future.

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

The federal school lunch program for 30 million low-income children was created more than half a century ago to combat malnutrition(营养不良). A breakfast program was added during the 1960s, and both attempted to improve the nutritional value of food served at school.

More must be done to fight the childhood obesity(肥胖) epidemic, which has caused a frightening peak in weight-related disorders like diabetes, high-blood pressure and heart disease among young people. The place to start is schools, where junk food sold outside the federal meals program—through snack bars and vending machines—has pretty much canceled out the benefits of all those efforts.

Federal rules that govern the sales of these harmful foods at school are limited and have not been updated for nearly 40 years. Until new regulations are written, children who are served healthy meals in the school cafeteria will continue to buy candy drinks and high sodium(钠) snacks elsewhere in school.

Many states’ school districts have taken positive steps, but others are likely to resist, especially districts that sell junk food to finance athletic program extracurricular activities, and even copier expenses.

Those districts should take note of a study released in 2009 in West Virginia showing that the budgetary costs of switching from sodas to healthy drinks such as fruit juice, milk, and water were very little. Even if the switch costs money, so be it. The school should not be trading their students’ health to buy office supplies.

Over the last five decades, the obesity rates for adolescents have tripled. Unless there is decisive action, weight and inactivity-related disorders will bother a steady larger proportion of the work force and replace smoking as the leading cause of premature death.

1.According to this passage, ______ are to blame for the childhood obesity.

A. weight-related disorders

B. high calorie snacks

C. parents’ bad habits

D. unhealthy lunches and breakfast

2.Which is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Federal governments deserve high praise for their school lunch program.

B. New regulations are badly in need of updating.

C. Children should be forbidden to buy snacks in school.

D. Federal rules encourage snacks outside the school program.

3.The passage is concerned mainly with ______.

A. Malnutrition in low-income children

B. The federal school lunch program

C. obesity at school

D. the nutritional value of food served at school

4.The tone of this passage is ______.

A. negative　　　　　 　 B. indifferent

C. optimistic　　　　　　 D. ironic
