Dolphins sleep this way. Recently, scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators.“The more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg, a graduate student at Indiana State University,Terre Haute.”the unique aspect is not that they do it,but that they control it. When they sleep at the edge of a group,they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes, which were arranged in a row. Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.Also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.60.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.B. Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C. Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.D. A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment. CLetter to My GrandsonChange is difficult for all of us. The older we get, the more change we face. All change involves loss, and whenever we lose something, we try hard to have it back. So because we know that all change is loss and all loss is change, your mom and dad worried about how you would react when it was time to take away your beloved pacifier (奶嘴) your “binky”. Now that youre four, you no longer have your binky; you have nothing to protect you from your anxiety. Thats why transitions (转变) are hard. Those transitional objects give us the illusion (幻觉) of security. When they are gone, we are left with the insecurity thats been there all along. Sam, almost everything we become attached to well eventually lose: our possessions, our loved ones, and even our youth and health. Yes, each loss is a blow (打击). But its also an opportunity. Theres an old saying: “When the heart weeps for what its lost, the soul rejoices (感到高兴) for what its gained.” So when you feel the pain of loss, please dont try to grab (抓住) at something to take away the pain. Just have faith that pain, like everything else, is transitional. Through it, you will learn about your ability to deal with adversity (逆境). You will learn how to manage stress. On the other side of pain, you will learn something about who you are. A friend of mine recently told me she had so many difficulties in her life that she felt like she was living in a nightmare (恶梦) and didnt know what to do. I told her to find the bus station and wait for the bus! She looked at me as if I was crazy. I explained that all emotions (情绪) are temporary, and we can wait for them to pass as though we were waiting for a bus. We can wait with disappointment, anger or feelings of victimhood, but that wont make the bus come any faster. We could wait with patience and relaxation, but that wouldnt make the bus come faster either! We just have to have faith that its coming. 64. It can be inferred that the pacifier mentioned in the first paragraph .A. was just an opportunity to Sam B. stills means a lot to Sam C. was a transitional object D. is an object Sam has already forgotten 65. According to the author, when we lose something, _.A. we will lose protection from insecurity B. we can have it back in a different wayC. we should be thankful for what is lostD. we can still expect something positive66 What does the last paragraph indicate?A. We can do nothing about difficulties in life.B. Waiting for the bus is a good way to reduce ones stress.C. We should be confident that all pains will be over in time.D. We can do nothing except wait to make the bus come faster.67. What does the author mainly want to tell Sam in the letter?A. We can avoid losses in our life by controlling our emotions.B. Keeping optimistic matters a lot in the face of hardship.C. Growing up is more than a process of losing and gaining. D. One should value what he owns before its eventually lost.DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 68. While taking a taxi in Finland, a passenger_.A. can go anywhere without
