Marmoset monkeys exist on a branch of the evolutionary tree that is distinct from the one that led to mans. But they constantly astonish researchers with ________ behavior that seems pretty highly evolved. Their social organization and ________ practices could have been the model for the phrase “It takes a village.” A dominant male and female breed, and their babies are carefully looked after by extended family members who then aren't free to breed themselves.

A new study further ________ the marmoset’s reputation for admirable community values. Researchers report that these caregivers share their food more generously with little ones ________ than when they’re surrounded by the watchful eyes of other community members. In complex societies where individuals band together for ______ protection, researchers have come up with a few widely accepted explanations for selfless behavior. But specific acts, like sharing a delicious cricket(蟋蟀) with a begging baby marmoset, seem to need more ______ explanation

One possibility is that an individual practices ______ as a means of enhancing his status among peers. By ______ that he is so well gifted with material goods that he can give some away, this do-gooder enhances his power within the group. That, in turn, may ______ prospective mates. The other explanation for charitable behavior ______ that kindnesses extended to others are simply the fees of group membership, which offers some future promise of a chance to mate. Failure to share would result in exclusion from the group and a loss of ______ partners. Scientists call this the “pay to stay” model. Importantly, for both of these models to work, acts of kindness must have a(n) ______. That suggests you would see more sharing in group settings; away from judging eyes, a caregiver might be more likely to keep food for himself or herself. And yet, in 2,581 tests conducted with 31 adult and 14 baby marmosets, the ______ appeared to be true

Anthropologists (人类学家) from the University of Zurich carefully documented how often, in groups and in conditions that found caregiver and baby separated from the crowd, an adult would share his or her cricket. When alone with a baby begging for a taste, adult marmosets shared their cricket 85% of the time. When in a group, caregivers offered up their cricket 67% of the time.” Our results show that helping in common marmosets is not driven by reputation management or ______ avoidance, “ the study authors reported Rather, it is driven by a deep-down motivation to help that is more ______ expressed when individuals are alone with young.”

Spider monkeys have long, thin arms with hooklike hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(对生拇指).

The brown-headed spider monkey has a prehensile(缠绕性的)tail, which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day, the spider monkey searches for fruits, which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers, seeds, leaves, and small insects during the dry season when fruits aren’t available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.

The brown-headed spider monkey lives in a large community of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers’ stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers’ backs. All brown-headed spider monkey babies are born with a pink face and ears.

Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with arms and legs swinging. Their genus (属)name is Ateles, which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they don’t have thumbs.

Hunting the brown-headed spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador, a country in northwestern South America, but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.

1.Spider monkeys live mostly on ________.

A. insects　　 B. fruits

C. flowers　　 D. leaves

2.What can we learn about spider monkeys?

A. They have five legs

B. They live in small groups

C. Their tails can take their weight

D. Their genus is the same as spiders’

3.What does the underlined word “barred” in the best paragraph refer to?

A. Permitted　　 B. Forbidden

C. Encouraged　　 D. Ignored

4.Where do newly-born spider monkeys stay?

A. In a large community

B. In trees with high branches

C. On their mothers’ backs

D. On their mothers’ stomachs

Maureen stood by the lake. Suddenly the other children came running through the trees with sharp cries of excitement. They rushed up to the lake, leaning over the clear water, watching the crowds of tiny fish. Some children demanded loudly to go to the boats, but all at once those who had been left behind at the ice-cream stall (小摊) came running up to make some announcement or other, and they all left the water and dashed back the way they had come. With growing excitement, Maureen ran after them.

When she saw what had been run for, she stopped running. They were buying things again. The toy stall was open and they were crowding around it. Behind the stall a middle-aged woman was selling a great variety of small rubbish. She took money from the forest of small hands in exchange for little boats, plastic dolls, yellow pencils and rubbers, or anything. Maureen leaned against a tree, looking on. The idea of spending washed against her face like a strong current, trying to draw her in.

Nona Parker pushed out to the edge of the group and laid what she had bought on the ground so that she could see what money she had left in her white purse. Under Maureen's eyes lay a boat, a mouth organ, and little plates of doll’s food in coloured plaster—a brown load of bread, a joint of beef, a pink pudding—all tiny and terribly desirable. Maureen was so full of the wish for the things like that that she couldn't bear to look at them. She turned her head sharply. Her face against the tree, she shut her eyes and prayed eagerly for some money, for the price of a set of toy plates.

In a moment, she opened her eyes, but she didn't turn back to the stall. It was too painful to see the others buying whatever they wanted. She rubbed almost round the tree, her eyes on the ground. And there under her feet was a ten-pence piece.

1.Why did children dash back on hearing some announcement?

A. To watch tiny fish.

B. To buy new toys.

C. To collect various rubbish.

D. To see a middle-aged woman.

2.Maureen stopped running after the other children because she _______.

A. was too shy to push her way in

B. thought the other children were rich

C. knew the stall was selling rubbish

D. couldn't afford to buy anything

3.Maureen's strong desire for the plates of doll’s food grew when _______.

A. she happened to see what Nona had bought

B. Nona checked her remaining money

C. she saw other children buying things freely

D. Nona was pushed to the edge of the group

4.Seeing the others buying so many wonderful things, Maureen felt _______.

A. thrilled　　 B. helpless　　 C. curious　　 D. annoyed

Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings(中毒). A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a chemical product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisoning.

In cases like this, look for medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look on the container for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison. Save anything expelled (被强迫排除) from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.

In the past, some people forced poisoning victims to empty the stomach. They used a liquid syrup of ipecac (催呕剂) to do this. But an organization of children’s doctors no longer advises parents to keep syrup of ipecac. The American Academy of Pediatrics says some poisons can cause additional damage when they come back up the throat.

Millions of people know a way to save a person who is choking on something trapped in the throat. The method is commonly known as the Heimlich Maneuver or abdominal thrusts. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. These back blows may ease the choking. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times along the victim’s abdomen. The abdomen is the area between the chest and the hip (臀) bones.

1.Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning to ________.

A. look for harmful information

B. look on it

C. use it to break the poison

D. look for medical help

2.Why are parents advised not to keep syrup of ipecac?

A. To keep the stomach empty.

B. To avoid more damage.

C. To keep syrup of ipecac safe.

D. To keep the stomach full.

3.The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell us about ________.

A. a way to prevent a person from choking

B. the abdominal thrusts

C. a way to cure choking

D. the abdomen

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Learning the basics of first aid

B. Accidental poisonings

C. Common causes of accidental poisoning

D. Poisonings and first aid

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank.
