A
When my son,Justin,was four,he found
a caterpillar(毛毛虫)and put it in a jar.
Each day he fed it with fresh grass and leaves.
In a few weeks the caterpillar was fat and
ready to sleep.One morning we discovered
the caterpillar wrapped in a cocoon ()It

hung from the top of the jar,an example of
·W(
one of nature's wonders.
Justin was excited.To him it was like
Christmas.He knew a moth (or butterfly
was about to be born,but he didn't know what
kind.He was curious to know what gift nature
was about to give him.“Dad!”as he ran to
me one day."Something's happening.Come
see!"
He led me to his room.The cocoon had
become clear.We could clearly see the wings
of the unborn.A few days later,a beautiful
black moth broke free from its silky cage and
began to lay eggs on the leaves of grass,com-
pleting the life cycle of the little caterpillar.
The next day,I advised my young son it
was time to set the moth free.He took the jar
outside,opened it,and the little moth flew out.
It circled the yard twice,came back,and lan-
ded on Justin's arm.He picked it up,tossed
(轻抛)it in the air,.and the moth repeated its
flight pattern.He tried over and over to set it
free,but each time it would return to his arm.
Justin gave up.He returned his little pet
to the jar.The next day he tried to set it free
again,and after a few return flights to his arm,
the moth finally flew off into the tall grass.
Like a person,I believe the moth was
afraid to leave what it was comfortable with.
It wanted to stay with something familiar,
afraid to move on and experience new things.
Humans are creatures of habit.We hate
change.However,if we hadn't moved,we
72)练
ould not have experienced many new things.
)1.According to the passage,what was
Justin anxious to know?
A.Whether the caterpillar would
change into a moth or a butter-
fly.
B.What gift he would receive for
Christmas from his dad.
C.Why the caterpillar could hang
from the top of the jar.
D.How the cocoon had become
clear one day.
)2.
is the end of the caterpi-
llar's life cycle.
A.That it was wrapped in a co-
coon
B.That the moth began to lay eggs
C.That the cocoon became clear
D.That the moth was born from the
cocoon
)3.The first time Justin set the moth
free,it
A.flew off into the tall grass im-
mediately
B.flew into the jar itself after fly-
ing a while
C.returned to Justin after circling
the yard
D.came back into the jar and then
flew away
)4.What does the writer want to tell us
by telling the story?
A.We had better not change our
habit too easily.
B.Children should not keep small
insects as pets.
C.The moth is not brave enough.
D.It is necessary to experience new
things.
B
Science is finally beginning to embrace
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 recognise familiar
individuals even after months of separation.
When given problems to 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 show sadness when
those friends die.
Pigs respond meaningful to human sym-
bols.When a research team led by Candace
Croney at Penn State University carried woo-
den 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 favour of the O's.Then the team
switched from real-life objects to T-shirts
printed with X or O symbols.Still,the pigs
walked only toward the O-shirted people:they
had transferred their knowledge to a two-di-
mensional(二维的)format,,a not inconside-
rable act of reasoning.
Unit5 Leamning from nature
I've been guilty of prejudiced expecta-
tions,myself.At the start of my career almost
four decades ago,I was firmly convinced that
monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other
animals..They're other primates(灵长目动
物),after all,animals from our own ma-
mmalian(哺乳动物的)class.Fairly soon,I
came to see that along with our closest living
relatives,whales too are masters of cultural
learning,and elephants express deep joy and
sadness with their social companions.Long-
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 experience painful procedure in labo-
ratories,elephants forced to perform in circu-
ses,and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme
parks.
Over time,though,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 revolution(伦理革
in terms of who we eat?In other words,
will our ethics start to catch up with the de-
velopment of our science?
Animal activists are already there,of
course,committed 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?

Ⅱ.完形填空
When I first walked into a Tai Chi class,
I had no idea this eastern movement practice
would become so central in my life.For many
years now it has been my continuing 1 to
share Tai Chi with students of all ages and
walks of life.
Some people begin classes wanting to
(74练
grow stronger,more 2,and flexible.Oth-
ers are looking for effective ways to deal with
stress,the constant demand and trouble of
modern life.3 some had seen a TV ad
they couldn't remember,describing a group
calmly doing Tai Chi in the park,and it 4
their curiosity about a different route to health.
Concentrating on5 body positions and
breathing control,Tai Chi's movements are
graceful and well balanced,6 the complete
harmony of body and mind.It is different
from western sports such as rugby where the
harder and quicker the better.Tai Chi is a
sport that strengthens the body as well as the
7 from the within.All of these are power-
ful benefits of Tai Chi.8,I have found
that consistent practice of these forms deve-
lops my everyday experience,and 9 the
way for growth.
I've been a teacher in various schools
over the years,and delight in watching 10
we each find our own keys to learning.It's a
privilege to accompany and11 that process
in my students.I am 12 by the fantastic
teachers with whom I've had the good fortune
to work.All of my classes take place in beau-
tiful old buildings.The first class is free to
newcomers 13 they may try it out with no
commitment.I invite you to 14 with ques-
tions,or to register for classes.Whether you
are young or aged,male or female,you can
choose Tai Chi as your 15 physical exer-
cise.
