They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat and those who do not.In Kenya,

19、 researchers found that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants.In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, eleph

20、ants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants detected the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they detected the smells of e

21、ither clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all. Garment color also plays a role, though in a different way. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as th

22、ey did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively toward the red clothing.The researchers believe that the elephants emotional reactions are due to their different interpretations of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do i

23、s run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive.41. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about Kamba and Maasai people?

24、 A. Maasai people are a threat to elephants. B. Kamba people raise elephants for farming. C. Both Kamba and Maasai people are elephant hunters. D. Both Kamba and Maasai people traditionally wear red clothing.42. How did the elephants react to smell in the study? A. They attacked a man with the smell

25、 of new clothing. B. They needed time to relax when smelling something unfamiliar.C. They became anxious when they smelled Kamba-scented clothing. D. They were frightened and ran away when they smelled their enemies. 43. What is the main idea of this passage? A. Elephants use sight and smell to dete

26、ct danger.B. Elephants attack people who wear red clothing. C. Scientists are now able to control elephants emotions. D. Some Kenyan tribes understand elephants emotions very well. BThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is probably why there are more myths(神话，想象) about it than

27、 any of the other illnesses. The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by coldThey are notThey are caused by viruses passing on from person to personYou catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has oneIf cold causes colds, it would be re

28、asonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them foreverBut they do notAnd in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected(感染的) people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes At the Common Cold

29、 Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of timeAfter taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused(浸入) with cold water, and then stood about dripping（滴干） we

30、t in drafty（通风的） roomsSome wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustionNot one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose If cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the

31、 winter? In spite of the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answerOne explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on No one has yet found a cure for the coldThere are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symp
