His attitude didnt soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two mile

12、s from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled, hed say in his loudest father-voice, “Thats what your legs are for!”The walk didnt bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didnt seem concerne

13、d about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.A row of hedge (树篱) edged the drivew

14、ay that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along

15、the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my fathers head. Then I knew, each time Id come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.On later

16、visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, its you!” hed say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.

17、I replied, “Yes, Dad, its me. Im home.” 21. What does the underlined word “grumbled” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Admitted readily. B. Explained clearly. C. Agreed lamely. D.

18、f seeing something moving C. the feeling of being less than valued D. the loneliness of riding the bus home 23. The authors father watched behind the hedge because _.A. he was concerned about his sons safety B. he wanted to help his son build up courageC. he didnt want to meet his son at the doorway

19、D. he didnt think his son was old enough to walk alone 24. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. My Fathers Secret. B. My College Life.C. Terrible Journey Home. D. Riding Bus Alone.B I have been teaching animal behavior at the Boulder County Prison in Colorado for 10 years. Th

20、e course is one of the most popular in the prison. Prisoners have to earn the right to attend the course and they work hard to get in.One reason why the course is so popular is that many prisoners find it easier to connect with animals than with people, because animals dont judge them. They trust an

21、imals in ways they dont with humans.Yet, they hold a misunderstanding of how animals treat one another. Many admit that their own “animal behavior” is what got them into trouble in the first place. I teach that though there is competition and aggression in the animal kingdom, there is also a lot of

22、cooperation and sympathy.Many of the students want to build healthy relationships, and they find that the class helps them. I use examples of the social behavior of group-living animals such as wolves as a model for developing and maintaining friendships among people who must work together for their

23、 own good and also for the good of the group.Its clear that science inspires the students here and it also gives them hope. I know some students have gone back into education after their being set free while others have gone to work for humane societies or contributed time and money to conservation

24、organizations. One went on to receive a masters degree in nature writing.Science and humane education help the prisoners connect with values that they otherwise would not have done. It opens the door to understanding, trust, cooperation and hope. Theres a large population of people to whom science c

25、ould mean a lot, if only they could have access to it. The class helps me, too. I get as much out of it as the students and it has made me a better teacher.25. The authors course is welcomed by the prisoners because _. A. they consider animals their best friends B. they are curious about animal king

26、domC. they feel it easier to get along with animalsD. they are more familiar with animal behavior26. The author used wolves as an example to _. A. provide the prisoners with more knowledge B. explain the cruel side of group-living animals C. help the prisoners realize the importance of teamworkD. in

27、form the prisoners that animals get people into trouble 27. We can infer from the text that some prisoners _. A. have turned over a new leaf B. are required to attend the course C. are willing to learn working skills D. prefer humane education to science CYour heart vs. Your mindYou watch a sad film

28、 and get caught up in your emotions. You cry your eyes out at the dramatic plotsyou feel sad for the characters if they suffer, or happy for them when they are successful. It is only when the movie is over that you realize that what you were watching is not real.But why couldnt you accept that when

29、you were so absorbed in the movie? It was reported in Science Daily this week that scientists at Case Western Reserve University, US, discovered that people simply cannot think emotionally and logically at the same time.It has long been known that something different goes on in our brain when we use

30、 logic, rather than responding to something emotionally. Thinking logically is a step-by-step process, in which people make decisions through reasoning and find answers. When we think emotionally, we look at things from someone elses point of view and try to feel their pain.Now scientists have found

31、 that thinking logically and emotionally are like the two ends of a seesaw (跷跷板) when were busy thinking emotionally, the part of the brain used for cold, hard analysis is prevented. And its also true the other way round.To come to this conclusion, scientists gathered 45 peoplemen and womento take brain scans as they solved different kinds of puzzles. Some of the puzzles were tough and involved math and physics and others were social problems that required participants to put themselves in other peoples shoes.Scientists found that when participants were doing a math probl
