Animals can be extremely protective of their young. But when hard times call, animal fathers can be really a danger to their own kids.

Daddy Lion

A combination of laziness, pride, cruelty and anger makes the lion one of the most fearsome and worst dads of the animal kingdom. When not walking proudly across the jungle, the father lion just lazes around under the sun, or waits for one of its lioness(母狮子) partners to bring back food. Once the lioness gets home the food, the lion eats up most of it, and leaves little or nothing at all for the kids. The father doesn’t even train the kids for hunting and surviving, it is the lioness who teaches them how to fend for themselves.

The Polar Father

Cute, pure and soft. Protective of young ones and family? Sure. But what makes the polar bears one of the worst dads of the animal kingdom? They don’t take care of the young ones, they won’t take up the responsibility of feeding them, they won’t take care of them like a father should. They just leave that to the mother bear.

The Assassin Bug(猎蝽)

Size matters, you say? This little bug would eat its own eggs to stay strong and fulfill its hunger needs. The male assassin bug is actually responsible for guarding the eggs. The female assassin bug lays eggs in large numbers. The male bug eats the weaker eggs.

Daddy Bass(岩鲈鱼)

Usually, water calms you down. Not so much for this underwater species. The male bass is known to eat up eggs from its own spawn. It guards the spawn(子，卵) laid by its female partner. However, when hungry and unable to hunt for food, the father won’t think twice before eating up the eggs.

And do you think your father was strict and hard? After reading this article, I’m sure you think your dad is the best in the whole wide world for not eating you up!

1.The animal fathers mentioned in this article ________.

A. are protective of their young

B. are respected by their young

C. are rather bad to their kids

D. are dangerous to their whole family

2.The underlined phrase “fend for” (Para 2) probably means ________.

A. fight for　 B. learn from

C. look after　 D. look for

3.The lion and the polar bears are similar in ________.

A. searching food all by themselves

B. letting the mothers take care of the kids

C. letting the mothers eat up the food

When young people begin to live independently， home-hunting can be difficult． But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available --- micro-homes．

Fondly called "tiny houses，" these houses have all living necessities in a small package， including kitchen， bedroom and bathroom． Generally under 50 square meters， most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some claim the space for more． What's lost in size is not lost in designas these homes are often quite modern in design．

Besides an attractive appearance， tiny houses can also have practical features． Making the best of urban space， the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw， the world's narrowest home， filled in an alley（小巷）． The home Ecocapsule uses solar power， wind power and rainwater collection to enable its owner to live practically anywhere．

Although micro-homes are attractive， there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch． Moving into a tiny house， you should throw away unnecessary things． It is also mostly impossible to invite guests． And finally， a micro-home is likely a temporary（暂时的） living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things．

Though the limitation will scare some， there is usually a benefit． A small size results in low prices and small bills， making tiny houses easier to save up for． And though you won't have many things around the house， it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean． Micro-homes are also eco-friendly， which can't be matched by other homes． They probably aren't for everyone or forever， but when it comes to your next （or first） home， they could be just what you need．

1.What can be learnt about micro-homes from Paragraph 2？ ______

A. People can't take a package into the tiny houses．

B. All of the houses can hold more than two people．

C. These houses are convenient though tiny in size．

D. Such houses are poorly designed due to the small size．

2.The author develops Paragraph 3 mainly ______ ．

A. by example B. by comparisons

C. by order in space D. by causes and effects

3.Micro-homes are especially suitable for ______ ．

A. a young person who has many things

B. a person who doesn't have much money

C. a family wanting to protect environment

D. a family hoping to settle down in a city

4.What can be the best title for the text？ ______

A. East or west， home is the best． B. Micro-homes --- more than tiny!

C. Home-hunting --- no easy matter! D. Tiny or large， this is a choice．

When people reunite with their loved ones，it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.

Now a group of psychologists (心理学家) from Yale University say they have found the reason why，and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional(情感的) balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions，and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions，” Oriana Aragon，the lead researcher said.

Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things，including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things—to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏) a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon.

1.What have the psychologists from Yale University found in their research?

A. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.
