9、分）AScience is finally beginning to hug animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems t

10、o solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.Pigs respond meaningfully to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney

11、at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the Os. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs wal

12、ked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable skill of reasoning.Ive been guilty of prejudiced opinions, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think an

13、d out-feel other animals. Theyre other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammal class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social panions. Long-

14、term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to go through painful procedure in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.Over time, though,

15、as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of o

16、ur science?Animal activists are already there, of course, mitted to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?1. According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of_.A. interaction B

17、. analysis C. creation D. abstraction2. The research into pigs shows that pigs_.A. learn letters quickly B. have a good eyesightC. can build up a good relationship D. can apply knowledge to new situations3. Paragraph 4 is mainly about_.A. the similarities between mammals and humans B. the necessity

18、of long-term studies on mammalsC. a change in peoples attitudes towards animals D. a discovery of how animals express themselves4. What might be the best title for the passage?A. The Inner Lives of Food Animals. B. The Lifestyles of Food Animals.C. Science Reports on Food Animals. D. A Revolution in

19、 Food Animals.BSome of the best research on daily experience is rooted in rates of positive and negative interactions, which has proved that being blindly positive or negative can cause others to be frustrated or annoyed or even to tune out.Over the last two decades, scientists have made remarkable

20、predictions simply by watching people interact with one another and then scoring the conversations based on the rate of positive and negative interactions. Researchers have used the findings to predict everything from the likelihood that a couple will divorce to the chances of a work team with high

21、customer satisfaction and productivity levels.More recent research helps explain why these brief exchanges matter so much. When you experience negative emotions as a result of criticism or rejection, for example, your body produces higher levels of the stress hormone, which shuts down much of your t

22、hinking and activates conflict and defense mechanisms (机制). You suppose that situations are worse than they actually are.When you experience a positive interaction, it activates a very different response. Positive exchanges increase your bodys production of oxytocin(后叶催产素), a feel-good that increase

23、s your ability to municate with, cooperate with and trust others. But the effects of a positive occurrence are less dramatic and lasting than they are for a negative one.We need at least three to five positive interactions to outweigh every one negative exchange. Bad moments simply outweigh good one

24、s. Whether youre having a conversation, keep this simple short cut in mind: At least 80 percent of your conversations should be focused on whats going right.Workplaces, for example, often see this. During performance reviews, managers routinely spend 80 percent of their time on weaknesses and “areas

25、 for improvement”. They spend roughly 20 percent of the time on strengths and positive aspects. Any time you have discussions with a person or group, spend the vast majority of the time talking about what is working, and use the remaining time to address weaknesses.5. The underlined phrase “tune out

26、” in Paragraph 1 probably means .A. stop listening B. gain courage C. sing aloud D. feel stressed6. What will happen if you experience negative emotions?A. The situations are sure to bee worse. B. Much of your thinking will be prevented.C. You will feel an urge to improve and bee better.D. Youll be

27、motivated to resolve conflicts with people.7. From Paragraph 4, we can learn that .A. we need a positive feeling to beat one negative feelingB. positive interactions have greater effects than negative onesC. our conversation should center on what needs improvementD. the effect of negative feelings l

28、asts longer than that of positive ones8. What is the best title for the passage?A. Harmful Negatives. B. More Positive Interactions.C. How to Be a Productive Manager. D. Less Time on Strengths and Positive Aspects. COnly two countries in the advanced world provide no guarantee for paid leave from wo

29、rk to care for a newborn child. Last spring one of the two, Australia, gave up the bad reputation by setting up paid family leave starting in xx. I wasnt surprised when this didnt make the news here in the United States were now the only wealthy country without such a policy. The United States does

30、have one clear family policy, the Family and Medical Leave Act, passed in 1993. It gives workers the right of as much as 12 weeks unpaid leave for care of a newborn or dealing with a family medical problem. Despite its benefit, the mittee of Enterprise and other business groups fought it bitterly, d

31、escribing it as “government-run personnel management” and a “dangerous precedent (先例)”. In fact, every step of the way, as Democratic (民主党)leaders have tried to introduce work-family balance measures into the law, business groups have been strongly opposed. As Yale law professor Anne Alstott argues,

32、 defending the appropriateness of parental support depends on defining the family as the social goods that, in one sense, society must pay for. Parents are burdened in many ways in their lives: there is “no exit” when it es to children. Society expects and needsparents to provide their children with
