When humans make friends, we often choose companions who share similar characteristics to us or enjoy participating in the same activities that we enjoy. Interestingly, it turns out that dolphins (海豚) may not be so different, according to a study which found that the animals form strong social ties with those who have similar interests. In some ways, this may not be surprising, if we know dolphins live in groups characterized by complex social activities. However, the latest findings are yet another powerful example of the intelligence that these creatures possess.

For the study, an international team of scientists studied a unique group of bottlenose dolphins, who live in the World Heritage area of Shark Bay, Western Australia. They are particularly interesting because the females are known to use sea sponges (海绵动物) as foraging (觅食) tools, a behavior that hasn’t been perceived anywhere else. The behavior known as “sponging,” helps the dolphins to find food in deeper waters and is socially-learned, being passed down from mother to baby.

Previous studies have shown that females in this group who use sea sponges to find food often like to hang out with other females who do the same. However, studies of this behavior in males are lacking, leaving a gap (空白) in our knowledge. To try and address this gap, the researchers collected data on 124 male dolphins in Shark Bay over a 9-year period between 2007 and 2015. Among these dolphins, some had the sponging behavior, while others did not. After analyzing their data, the team came to the conclusion that those males who used sponges for foraging associated significantly more often with other “spongers,” no matter how related they were to their companions. Interestingly, male spongers spent significantly more time foraging and less time resting than non-spongers.

According to the lead author of the study, Manuela Bizzozzero, the findings cast new light on the social ties between male dolphins at Shark Bay.

1.What can we learn form the first paragraph?

A.Dolphins are humans’ best friends.

B.Dolphins make friends like humans.

C.Dolphins can understand humans’ emotions.

D.Dolphins confuse humans with their lifestyles.

2.What does the underlined word “perceived” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Influenced. B.Prevented.

C.Observed. D.Accepted.

3.Why does the author mention previous studies in Paragraph 3?

A.To explain the intention of the latest studies.

B.To present their achievements in dolphin research.

C.To stress that dolphins have the socially-learned behavior.

D.To show how female dolphins use sea sponges to find food.

4.What’s the result of the studies on male bottlenose dolphins?

A.Few of them make use of sponges to find food.

B.A large quantity of them mainly feed on sponges.

C.Male spongers rest more often than non-spongers.

D.Male spongers enjoy staying with other spongers.

If you move to a new school, you’ll have to worry whether or not you’ll make friends. Here are some simple suggestions which help you make new friends a lot easier.

Try speaking to the people next to you in class. As they’re close by, it makes sense to communicate with them first.

Have courage to speak to everyone in your class. You will probably stay with that class through your years at the new school, so it helps if you get on with them.

Join a lunchtime or after-school club. You’ll get to meet kids of all years that way.

Ask your teacher to pair you with another pupil.

Use your celebrity status! Since you’re the new person, you’ll have gained celebrity status, which you can use for a couple of weeks. Talk to people, remember to smile and always be open and friendly. Listen carefully to what others have to say so as to make them feel important.

As you grow older, it’s natural to make new friends and sometimes that means you grow apart from your old friends. So try and make time for all your friends. Why not introduce your different sets of friends so you can all go to the cinema or bowling together?

Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we don’t often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest; Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.

Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman”. It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neil’s is more accurate(精确的) and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power.

You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isn’t a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving , horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff(悬崖). Quite a warning!

The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”

1. The writer holds that people seldom ______.

A. have bright ideas       B. turn their bright ideas into reality

C. make their life easier    D. think of inventing something

2. Neil Hunt’s design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of _______.

A. recording direct sunshine        B. recording the hours of sunshine

C. using the energy of the sun       D. knowing how strong sunlight is

3. What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs?

A. To warn people to be careful while working.

B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.

C. To add to the beauty of a city.

D. To help make a car trip more exciting.

4. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to ______.

A. take better care of schoolchildren

B. help schoolchildren in their studies

C. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestions

D. pay more attention to schoolchildren’s inventive power
