a. return b. level c. honor d. research6. according to the passage, great auk is _. a. an endangered bird b. an extinct bird c. a popular bird d. a fierce bird7. what can we know from the figures in paragraph 4? a. taking eggs from the nests has worked well. b. the wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot. c. kestrel has adapted to the life in the wild. d. its difficult to protect kestrel.8. prof jones idea of taking eggs from the birds nests _. a. was proved of no use b. was widely accepted c. was promoted officially d. was criticized by some peoplec there is no denying that some people live to be older than others. followed are the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. but what effect does your personality have on your longevity (长寿）？ are there any kinds of personalities contributing to longer lives? a new study in the journal of the american geriatrics society looked at these questions by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100. according to the study, those who live the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的）than other people. long-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. these findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times. interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways. whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. but the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible. unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mothers personality may also help determine your longevity. that study looked at nearly 28, 000 norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when were adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger. personality isnt destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. but both studies show that long life isnt just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health. 9.the purpose of the study in the journal of the american geriatrics society is _ .a. to see whether peoples personality affects their life span b. to find out if ones lifestyle has any effect on their healthc. to investigate the role of exercise in living a long lifed. to examine all the factors contributing to longevity10. what does the author imply about outgoing and sympathetic people?a. they have a good understanding of evolution.b. they are better at negotiating an agreement.c. they generally appear more resourceful.d. they are more likely to get over hardship.11. what finding of the study might prove somewhat out of our expectation?a. easy-going people can also live a relatively long life.b. advantageous personality characteristics actually vary with times.c. such characteristics as self-discipline have no effect on longevity.d. readiness to accept new ideas helps one enjoy longevity.12.what is the main idea of this passage?a. anger and depression cut ones life span short.b. longevity results from mental and physical health.c. personality plays a decisive role in longevity.d. health is in large part related to ones lifestyle.d science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens. as annie potts of canterbury university has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. when given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die. pigs respond meaningfully to human symbols. when a research team led by candace croney at penn state university carried wooden blocks marked with x and o symbols around pigs, only the o carriers offered food to the animals. the pigs soon ignored the x carriers in favor of the os. then the team switched from real-life objects to t-shirts printed with x or o symbols. still, the pigs walked only toward the o-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning. ive been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. at the start of my career almost four decades ago, i was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. theyre other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class. fairly soon, i came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedures in laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks
