People from different cultures have different answers; shaking hands, nodding, bowing, kissing on the face. But have you ever wondered how animals “say hello” to each other? Here are some examples. Everyone knows how similar chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are to humans. So it’s no surprise that their greetings are also close to ours. The most common ways of greeting between chimpanzees are hand touching and hugging. Sometimes they also kiss each other. Some chimpanzees can even learn simple sign language. Giraffes seldom make loud sounds. Their necks can reach two meters in length, making them useful in greeting each other. When two giraffes meet, they may “shake” their necks and rub (摩擦) them against each other. This is to feel how strong and tall the other is. Dolphins greet one another with whistles (哨声). They can hear other dolphins from many kilometers away. Every dolphin has a different whistle. When two groups of dolphins meet, they each choose a member to “talk” to the other group. The two groups can then travel together. Unlike most of the other animals, dolphins are smart enough to learn a new language by inventing and copying new sounds. 1. Chimpanzees usually greet each other by _________. A. nodding and bowing B. kissing on the face C. using a lot of sign language D. touching hands and hugging 2. Giraffes rub their necks when they meet in order to _________. A. reach taller trees B. make loud sounds C. fight with each other D. know about each other 3. According to the reading, dolphins are _________. A. lazy and quiet B. friendly and clever C. strong and playful D. caring and peaceful 4. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Giraffes are about two meters tall. B. Most animals have the ability to learn a new language. C. Dolphins can hear each other from far away. D. Chimpanzees are surprised at humans’ way of greeting. 5. The passage is probably from __________. A. a nature magazine B. a notice board C. a news report D. a guidebook B Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet. When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars. His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore. He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family. "I wish you a Happy New Year," said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head. "You are not from this country" said Edward. The man again shook his head, for he could not understand or speak his language. But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if to say, "These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time." Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars, and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife. They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, "We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time." When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up. "I have bought no books," said he, "I gave my money to some poor people, who seemed to be very hungry then." He went on, "I think I can wait for my books till next New Year." "My dear boy," said his father, "here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift." "I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family. It was nice for a little boy to do so. Be always ready to help others and every year of your life will be to you a Happy New Year." 6. Edward expected to ____________ with the money he got from his father. A. help the poor family B. buy something to eat C. buy some pretty books D. learn another language 7. Why did the poor man shake his head when Edward spoke to him? A. He couldn't understand the boy. B. He wouldn't accept the money. C. He didn't like the boy's language. D. He was too cold to say anything. 8. How much did Edward give the poor family? A. One dollar. B. Two dollars. C. Three dollars. D. Four dollars. 9. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The boy got a prize for his kind heart. B. The boy had to buy his books next year. C. The poor family bought the books at the bookstore. D. The boy got more money from his father. 10. What's the main idea of the passage? A. We should read more books to improve ourselves. B. Being kind is more important than having gifts. C.
