tendencies, revealing one more key way our closest living relatives are like humans, scientists find. these findings could shed light on the evolution of altruism in humans.previously, a belief was widely held that human altruism evolved only after humans split from their ape cousins about 6 million years ago. in recent years, however, research has revealed just how much chimpanzees have in common with us. they can hunt with spears, play with dolls and mourn their partners death.“most of the earlier studies had presented the apes with a complex implement that helped them deliver food to themselves or others, often so complicated that the experiments tested tool skills rather than social tendencies，” de waal told live science.“ours is the first study that uses no such implement at all.”in addition to using complex fooddelivery systems, past experiments often placed the chimpanzees so far apart that they might not have realized how their actions benefited others. in these new, simplified experiments, two apes were housed next to each other with a screen through which they could see each other. then, one chimpanzee had to choose between two differently colored tokens(币) from a bin, one of which represented a prosocial(亲社会的) option, the other a selfish option. the prosocial option would cause both chimpanzees to receive a piece of banana wrapped in paper. the selfish option only rewarded the ape who made the choice.in a study with seven adult female chimps placed into various pairs, the scientists found all the apes showed a definite preference for the prosocial option. “for me, the most important finding is that like us, chimpanzees take into account the needs and wishes of others，” researcher victoria horner, said.the chimpanzees behaved especially altruistically toward partners who either patiently waited or gently reminded them that they were there by drawing attention to themselves. they were less likely to reward partners who pressured through making a fuss, begging persistently or spitting water at them. this is opposite to a longstanding view that the chimpanzees only share food under pressure.研究发现，利他主义精神并非人类所独有，黑猩猩也具有利他主义精神，这进一步证实了人类和黑猩猩之间的相同之处。21the word “altruism”(paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to “_”awillingness bselfishnesscselflessness dreluctance答案与解析：c本文主要讲述了黑猩猩所体现出的利他主义精神，因此根本上下文可知该词表示“利他主义”之意。22recent researches are performed with less complicated implements mainly to _.afind out if chimps are likely to reward partnersbtest chimps social tendencies instead of tool skillscshow that chimps are only good at using implementsdsee whether chimps are willing to share food with others答案与解析：b根据第3段可知最近进行的实验有别于以往，主要就体现在了对social tendencies的研究。23which of the following might be the best title of the passage?achimps do show selfless behaviorbchimps only share food under pressurecevolution history of altruism in humansdsimilarities between chimps and mankind答案与解析：a本文主要围绕黑猩猩体现出利他主义精神的研究成果展开，因此选择a项。ba chilean(智利) soapopera star, a beauty from ancient pompeii and a freckled(雀斑的) boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show lineup.the first worldwide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. “virtual models are not the

so happy kattyko won. i think her strength is her similarity to a real womannot too luxurious or exposed”， kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. “her beauty is in her simplicity.” kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3d clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become “a sort of ambassador of chilean beauty”cerami said latin american interest in miss digital world had greatly increased since kattyko joined the contest, which attracted about 3,600 entries from countries from iran to australia and even from the ancient roman empire.“pompea” was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of vesuvius in 79 ad. “she was a slave, but also a rich mans lover. when her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing from the master to

children remember and learn from mistakes when their own dollars are lost or spent foolishly.how large an allowance is appropriate? experts say there is not right amount. actual amounts differ from region to region, and from family to family.to set an appropriate allowance for your child, work up a weekly budget. allow for entertainment expenditures such as movies and snacks. next, include everyday expenses such as lunch money, bus fare, school supplies. “if you make the child responsible for these bills，” says josephine swanson, a consumer specialist, “he or she will learn to budget for necessary expenditures.”finally, add some extra money to make saving possible. if you can, keep your childs allowance in line with that of his friends. a child whose purchasing power falls away below his peers can feel left out.it can be tough, but avoid excusing your children when they make a mistake with their allowance. when brooke stephens was ten and growing up in jacksonville, her mother gave her $5 a week, $1.75 of which was for bus fare and lunch. “if you lose your money，” brookes mother told her, “you walk home.”one week the girl spent all her allowance in a candy store, then she called home for a ride. “mom made me walk home，” recalls stephens, now a financial planner in brooklyn. “at first i was angry. but i finally realized that she was trying to teach me an important lesson.”experts advise that an allowance should not be tied directly to a childs daily chores. kids should help around the house not because they get paid for it but because they share responsibilities as members of a family. you might, however, pay a child for doing extra jobs at home, which can develop his or her initiative.本文讲述的是给孩子零花钱，让他学会如何预算、节省和决定使用钱。28which of the following
