A

When expecting guests, I like to have a few small tasks ready, just in case they offer to help. Most guests, I’ve found, will feel great if there are small things they can do in return for my warm reception. So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table.

“Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.” Tom offered to do the work. As he was unpacking the box, he suggested keeping it. “That way, if you change your mind, you can pack everything back in the box and return the lock,” he added. This made me slightly nervous. I didn’t want him to reconsider his offer.

While Tom worked, his wife Mary and I drank coffee and had some cookies together. Mary shared with me that she was a bit worried about the lock task. “Tom likes to take things slow. Sometimes, I just need to give him a little push,” she said.

Just at that moment, Tom said he hit a dead end. He could not remove the last few small metal pieces from the new lock. Unhurriedly, he sat down, rested his head against the back of the seat, and closed his eyes. It seemed that he was trying to work out a solution — at his own pace (节奏), of course.

For the next half-hour, Tom remained glued to his seat. When I was about to ask him to call it quits and have a cup of coffee instead, Mary stood up and tapped her husband on the shoulder. “I don’t mean to rush you, but we aren’t staying here forever,” said Mary. Hearing this, Tom took out his phone and turned to what he called his favorite teacher: the Internet. After searching for a short while, he found a video that showed how. He then walked back to the door and soon announced, “All done!” What a relief!

6. The new lock was intended as___________.

A. a small task for the guests B. a house-warming gift for the author

C. a secret treasure for the guests to find D. a reminder for the author to call a repairman

7. What made the author slightly nervous?

A. The reception of Mary and Tom. B. The expectation from Mary and Tom.

C. Tom’s suggestion about keeping the box. D. Tom’s offer to fix the new lock on the door.

8. What did Tom mean when he said he hit a dead end?

A. He broke the door. B. He wanted to take a rest.

C. He worked out a solution. D. He got stuck in the work.

9. How did Tom finally get the work done?

A. By following Mary’s instructions. B. By watching a video online.

C. By gluing the metal pieces together. D. By calling his favorite teacher.

10. What is the main purpose of the story?

A. To explain how to change a door lock.

B. To discuss the challenges of receiving guests.

C. To tell a fun story about getting help from guests.

D. To encourage readers to do small tasks by themselves.

B

People living in a coastal community had set underwater traps (陷阱) with food inside to catch a kind of harmful crabs (螃蟹). The traps came in the form of round-shaped nets, with ropes and floats (浮标) to mark their locations. However, local people often found the crab food inside gone, with the traps destroyed. For a long time, no one knew who did this.

To catch the “culprit,” a team of scientists placed a hidden camera near one trap. The very next day, the truth was revealed — much sooner than expected. The video recording showed that the clever thief was a female wolf.

In the video, the wolf swam straight to the trap’s float and carried it all the way to the beach with her teeth. Then, she kept pulling the rope attached to the float until the trap was in very shallow water. Once the wolf got hold of the trap, she quickly tore open the net and enjoyed a delicious meal. The whole process took less than three minutes.

This discovery has started a heated discussion among scientists. Some believe the wolf used the rope, which she clearly understood was the key to her meal, as a tool to get food. Others argue that because the wolf did not make the rope herself, her behavior should not be counted as tool use.

Either way, most scientists agree that the wolf showed great problem-solving skills. Since so many traps have been destroyed, they believe that more than one wolf might have known the skills. There remains one interesting question to the scientists: Did the wolf learn from other wolves or by watching other species? Whatever the truth is, this discovery gives us a fresh and respectful view of wolves’ intelligence, reminding us of the wonders and connectedness of our natural world.
