Have you ever heard your own voice? “Of course,” you say. Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, “Of course.”But that’s not quite true. Nobody else has ever heard your voice—the way you hear it. When you talk, you set up sound waves(声波). The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears. But, of course, the sound of your voice begins inside your head. The bones(骨头) of your head pick up the sound waves, too. They carry the sound waves straight to your inner(里面的) ears. You get the sound from the outside and the inside too. Other people get just the sound waves from the outside. That’s why they don’t hear your voice the way you do.

B

Have you heard of the saying, “Elephants never forget”? We can know that elephants have good memories, But do you know monkeys have good memories, too?

Monkeys can recollect what they’ve seen, according to a science study. It offers clear evidence (证据) that monkeys have ability of memory like humans.

Scientists found out that monkeys can recall simple shapes from memory. They even can draw those shapes on a computer touch screen.

Scientists say that findings suggest that the memory of humans and monkeys is more similar than scientists knew. Monkeys can recall. Recall is necessary for planning and imagining, and can increase social behavior and other skills. By recalling, monkeys show an ability to remember things that are not present at the moment.

A scientist named Benjamin Basile said, “The ability of monkeys to recall these shapes suggests that they might be able to recollect other kinds of information that would be useful to them in the wild. They may be able to recollect the appearance of things they knew, what their favorite foods look like, or the path they would have to take to a pond.

The scientists say that the ability to recollect does not depend on language. The ability may have been present in our common ancestor (祖先) million years ago.

1.After reading the first paragraph, we can know ______.

A. only elephants have good memories

B. only monkeys have good memories

C. both elephants and monkeys have good memories

D. neither elephants nor monkeys have good memories

2.The underlined word “recollect” has the same meaning as the word “______”.

A. recall　　 B. collect　　 C. gather　　 D. repeat

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

A. Monkeys have the ability of memory like humans.

B. Monkeys can not draw shapes they saw on a computer touch screen.

C. Monkeys may be able to recall what their favorite food look like.

D. Monkeys may be able to recall the path they would have to take.

Have you heard of Chen Binqiang in Zhejiang Province? Over the past six years, he has taken care of his mother who got Alzheimer’s disease.

Chen’s mother, 64-year-old Chen Yueguang, has been ill since 2007. The illness became very serious quickly and she has lost the ability to speak and can not look after herself. None of Chen’s other family members, however, could take care of their sick mother. Chen’s father died in a traffic accident when he was eight, his two sisters married far away and his wife has a 92-year-old grandmother to look after.

Chen taught Chinese in Central School of Lengshui town, which is about 30 kilometers away from his home in Pan’an. So he spent five days at school and only went home on weekends. When he said he would take his mother to work, even his wife was doubtful and worried. She really doesn’t think it is a good idea for him to take care of his mother in school. She worries what if he lost his job because of this.

But Chen has made the decision. Soon he was putting a safety hat onto his mother’s head and helping her sit on his electric bike’s back seat. He thinks that his mother used to take him around and now he should take her.

These days, things got a little easier for him. With the help of Pan’an government, Chen got a new job in Pan’an Middle School in October 2012. The new school is only five minutes’ ride from his home, which means he can take care of his mother more conveniently.

Chen feels happiest when his mother is looking at him. She must have forgotten who he is, and she even can’t call his name. But she surely knows that Chen is kind to her. He feels that is enough.

On February 19^th, 2013, Chen got the prize for Touching China, held by China Central Television to honor those whose performances have moved the people.
