When an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it feels good.

However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (黑猩猩)also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor(祖先) about 6 million years ago.

People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features(特征) without any other training, says Warneken, a scientist in Germany. Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldn’t reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.

Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn’t met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. What’s more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward. In a similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.

Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help. Still, the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees don’t give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.

1.Warneken and his partners worked with ________.

A．young chimpanzee that live on an island

B．18-month-old children who live in Germany

C．kids who are living with adult chimpanzees

D．adult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain

2.A new study in Germany suggests that ________.

A．people also share information for good reason

B．children know something at the age of 18 months

C．chimpanzees do good things for no real reason, too

D．humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？

A．Thirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by one

B．No chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done

C．The animals hadn’t met the person before the experiments

D．Chimpanzee gave the person the stick in order to get a reward

4.From the passage we know that ________.

A．both chimpanzees and children can find their way to help others

B．chimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzees

C．children is more generous than chimpanzees in some ways

D．both chimpanzees and children can do the difficult experiments

When people want to find something on the Internet, they often say,“Let’s Google it!”It means “Let’s search for it on the Internet!”

It all began in the summer of 1995, Larry Page, 24, and Sergey Brin, 23, met at Stanford University. In their project, the two students came up with a plan to make a new search engine(引擎). They founded(成立)Google a year later. It became a company on September 7,1998.

Google is not the first search engine, but it is certainly the most successful. Google’s worldwide market share(市场占有率)was as high as 82.8 percent last year, according to Marketshare. Hitslink.com.

Before Google,search engines ranked (排名) websites simply by how many times the webpage has been visited. Page and Bin used a completely different way, by the number of other websites that linked(链接) to that site. Google helps people find the most important site that connects to their key words.

As popular as Google in the English world, in China, Baidu is the most popular and biggest search engine. It held a market share of nearly 80 percent for web search in 2012.

Baidu was started in 2000 by Li Yanhong and Xu Yong. It offers searches for website, audio, images...It also provides the largest online Chinese encyclopedia(百科全书)，Baidu Baike.

When you imagine a new way of doing something and then　 find a way to do it, you are being creative. Generally, there are three steps to being creative. They are:

Step 1 Gaining knowledge and skills of how things are done

A solid knowledge and skills help you understand how to do something. Knowing when and how to apply this knowledge comes from studying how others have done things in the same situations. Think about learning to play the piano. In this step you learn how to read music and_______ the keys are on the piano. You also practise playing.

Step 2 Learning to_______ the way that people do those things

Practising how others do something will bring what you have learned and the practice of it together. Repeating other people’s skills　 will　 create a lot of _________　 and increase　 understanding. So your next step in playing the piano would be seeing how other good musicians play, and repeating their songs and styles of playing.

Step 3 Exploring new and maybe better ways of doing them

Knowing the rules, but then using or breaking them in your_______　 style is the basis of　　 creativity. At this point in playing the piano, you might play songs in new ways; or even write　 songs and melodies (曲调). Being able to explore and improve on ideas requires time and effort to find out different ways of doing something.

Being creative is the useful ability to help solve problems effectively in many different situations. Being creative will　 often result in lots　 of ideas,_______ not all of them will　 be good　　 ideas. That is why being creative is a process of trying - and trying again! Being able to come up with new ideas, and then_______ the better ideas, will make　 your life more successful. So start　　 being creative today!

You may never know how valuable something is when it can not be fixed. And it could be a lovely moment you lose forever.

I grew up with very practical parents. My mother washed aluminum foil (铝箔纸) after she cooked in it, then reused it. She was the recycle queen, before they had a name for it.

My father was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones. Their marriage was good. Their dreams focused. Their best friends lived so near. I can see them now, Dad in trousers, T-shirt and a hat and Mum in a house dress, lawn mower (割草机) in one hand, dishtowel in the other.

It was the time for fixing things — a curtain rod (杆), the kitchen radio, the oven door, the hem (褶边) in a dress — things we kept.

It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste somewhat meant affluence (富裕). Throwing things away meant you knew there would always be more.

But then my mother died, and on that clear summer’s night, in the warmth of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn’t any more.

Sometimes what we care about most gets all used up and goes away… never to return. So, while we have it, it’s best we love it, care for it, fix it when it’s broken, and heal it when it’s sick.

This is true for marriage, old cars and children with bad report cards, dogs with bad hips, aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

1.The writer really wanted to tell us 　　 .

A. her mum was the recycle queen.

B. her dad liked fixing old shoes.

C. throwing things meant there would be more

D. we should cherish (珍惜) what we care about while we have it

2.What does the underlined word “struck” mean?

A. knocked B. touched C. stuck D. caught

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned according to the passage?

A. Fixing things is a way of life.

B. Waste somewhat meant affluence.

C. The writer’s family was very poor.

D. The writer’s parents were practical.
