Joshua Plotnik and his colleagues carried out the tests on six 12-45-year-old Asian elephants living in the grounds of a hotel in northern Thailand. The buckets containing the seeds were not clear enough to see through and had a lid with small holes to let the smell out. In experiments, the elephants chose the greater quantity of seeds in each pair, regardless of the quantity of seeds presented. The accuracy of the prediction was better when the difference between each pair increased.
This is thought to be the first time that an animal is able to use its sense of smell to make a simple calculation of whether one of two quantities is more or less than another-the most basic form of math.
Many animal species have shown an ability to tell apart between more and less when presented with different amounts of food. But they have used vision to discriminate. Dogs have been unable to show they can perform the same trick in tests of their abilities to smell.
For an elephant this ability could be very important. Elephants often travel long distances to find better-quality food and water, which can differ according to seasonal availability, changes to their environment, and a risk they could be attacked by humans. The best performers were able to get it right more than 80 per cent of the time.
The scientists suggest that male elephants are better at the task because they need to eat more food, making it more important that their sense of smell is keener. Males also have to sniff out females in heat over long distances in order to reproduce.
They say that while elephants do use vision, particularly in close contexts where they react to each other’s body language, they use it mainly to match their more powerful senses-hearing, smell and touch.
That elephants have a powerful sense of smell is perhaps unsurprising. They have more genes related to smell than any other animal: 2,000 compared to around 800 for a dog.
1.What special ability do elephants have?
A.Use their trunks to find different smells.
B.Distinguish between more and less food.
C.Smell the differences of food quality.
D.Per form the basic math calculation.
2.What does the underlined word “discriminate” mean?
A.Choose. B.Indicate.
C.Measure. D.Distinguish.
3.Why do elephants often travel long distances?
A.To find where the better food is.
B.To find where humans wait to attack them.
C.To find where the environment has changed.
D.To find where they can adapt to the climate.
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.Elephants can do simple math puzzles
B.Elephants can “count” with their trunks
C.Elephants can smell the quality of food
D.Elephants can use vision to communicate

It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25. I didn't think there would be any patients, sighing about having to work on Christmas. Just then five bodies showed up at my desk, a pale woman and four small children.
“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully.
“Yes,” she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems，things got a little vague. Two of the children had headaches，but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still. Two children had earaches， but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong，but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded，Take your time; it's warm in here.”
On a hunch (直觉)，I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family. No address— they were homeless. The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree. The littlest one was pointing at the television and saying something loudly and excitedly to her mother. The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses' station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action，much as we do when there's a medical emergency. But this one was a Christmas emergency.
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day，so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests. As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day， our team worked to meet the needs, and exceed the expectations, of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day. Later，as the family walked to the door to leave, the four year -old came running back, gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today.”
1.What did the author learn from the family s descriptions of presenting problems?
A.Two of the children had headaches.
B.One of the children had earaches.
C.The mother pretended to be coughing.
D.The whole family were seriously ill.
2.The author made sure that the family were homeless by ______.
A.asking them some questions
B.listening to their introduction
C.observing their facial expressions
D.checking their registration information
3.After knowing about the homeless family， the nurses ______.
A.gave them a medical treatment
B.provided them with a big dinner
C.prepared a Christmas tree for them
D.held a big Christmas party for them
4.What can be the best title for the text?
