evolution says that monkey and humans share a common ancestor. we enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language. this is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts.monkeyshine is one of the expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. the meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other: pulling tails, stealing food, doing tricks.monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. when you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeying around. it is just a way to pass the time.monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities. you may come across a new report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders.monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. in earlier years in many american cities, you would find men playing musical band organs on the street. dancing to the music would be the mans small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military uniform. so, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit. 9. which of the following is not true about the similarities between human and monkey?a. most monkeys have ten fingers and toes.b. monkeys have the same brains as humans.c. monkeys often act like humans in many ways.d. monkeys are humans closest relatives in species.10. according to the passage, an idle wander on the street can be described as_.a. monkeyshine b. monkeying aroundc. a monkey suit d. monkey business11. monkey suits are commonly used to call military uniforms because they _.a. are created particularly for soldiers uniforms.b. are originally designed for american soldiers.c. share typical features with military uniforms.d. make american soldiers look like monkeys.12. most monkey expressions are _.a. used only in western cultures. b. used on some formal occasions.c. about tricks and naughtiness. d. about terrible funny behaviors.d heres something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help：trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learnaccording to a recent study，the more you try while you are learning new information，the better you can remember it later this might surprise youwhen teachers are presenting new information，they often give students lots of helpbut a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning“dont be too quick to get help when learning something new，”education expert manu kapur said“try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learningthen he tested it out on students in singaporehe separated students into two groupsin the first group，students were asked to solve math problems with the teachers helpin the second group，students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another，instead of getting help from the teacher with the teachers help，students in the first group were able to find the correct answersstudents in the second group did not solve the problems correctlybut they did come up with a lot of good ideas the students were then tested on what they had 1earnedthe group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had helpkapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process(过程)，not just the solution kapurs advice for kids is to put a 1ot of effort(努力)into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help“simply doing a little work or nothing at all wont work.”says kapur“try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible13what is the best title for the text? awork your mind bpractice makes perfect cthe best way to learn dteachers role in schoolwork14manu kapur holds that _ aits necessary for students to ask
