scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephant can be used to do some heavy jobs. and we can also teach animal to work in factories. apes(猿猴), for example, have been used in america to help make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in （收割）crops and even drive trains. 25. dogs can be used to guard a house for his host because _.a. they are good at runningb. they are very kind and friendly to peoplec.

enough money to pay both your ticket and mine，” mark twain said. the friend didnt know what to do.“we can do this，” said mark twain. “we can get on the train and when the conductor comes to check the tickets, you can hide under my seat.”later, however, when the conductor came to check the tickets, mark twain gave him two tickets one for himself and one for his friend. then he explained in a loud voice, “my friend is a strange man. when he travels on a train, he does not like to sit on the seat. he prefers to lie on the floor under the seat.” of course, everyone in the train looked at the poor friend under the seat and laughed at him loudly.29why did the friend ask mark twain to pay his train ticket for him?a. because mark twain was very rich.b. because the friend lost his money.c. because mark twain was always ready to help others.d. because the friend wanted to save his own money.30mark twain told his friend that _.a. he didnt know what to dob. he would buy a ticket for himc. the conductor wouldnt check the ticketsd. he hadnt got enough money for two tickets31which of the following is right according to the passage?a. the friend preferred to lie on the floor.b. there were no conductors on the train.c. in fact, mark twain had bought two tickets.d. the friend got very angry with mar dlife is difficult.it is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.most do not fully see this truth. instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. it seems to them that their difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.what makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. these are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. and since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. when we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability (能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. it is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. as benjamin franklin said, “those things that hurt, instruct.” it is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.32from the passage, it can be inferred that _.aeverybody has problemsbwe become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeclife is difficult because our problems bring us paindpeople like to complain about their problems33the main idea of paragraph 3 is that _.amost people feel life is easybthe writer feels life is easycthe writer likes to complain about his problemsdmost people complain about how hard their lives are34according to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to _.aencourage them to learnbteach them to fear the pain of solving problemschelp them learn to deal with paindteach them how to respect for problems35the saying from benjamin franklin “those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that _.awe do not learn from experiencebwe do not learn when we are in paincpain teaches us important lessonsdpain cannot be avoided“第二节
