Scientists say that people can teach many different animals to do some of the easy work if they know they will get something to eat.We all know elephants can carry large logs, and dogs can look after houses. And we can even teach animals to work in factories. In America, for example, people have used apes to help make cars, and scientists think that those large monkeys may, one day, drive trains.

Youre very hungry after studying for a long time. Then you see a nice pie in the fridge. Do you eat it? It seems that you shouldnt, for many reasons, including its influence on your studies.Scientists have long known that eating late at night can make us gain weight. But now a new study has shown that late-night eating can also have a bad influence on our brains it might hurt our ability to learn new things and store memories.“We believe that late-night eating may affect (影响) our learning by affecting the parts of the brain that control learning and memory,” Dawn Loh, PhD, a project scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said, “We believe the timing of when we eat is the main cause of the damaged (受损的) memory.”For the study, the researchers looked at mice with strict feeding plans. For two weeks, the mice were either allowed to eat during the time when they are usually the most active, or during the time when they usually sleep. The mice received the same amount(数量) of sleep and calories.Then the researchers tested the brains of the mice. In one test, the researchers tried to find out whether the mice could remember that a room was connected to an electric shock(电击) after 24 hours had gone by.The researchers noticed that, when the mice were put in the room again, those mice that ate when they should have been sleeping were less likely(可能的) to get scared than those mice that ate during usual hours. It means that they didnt remember.So think twice before the midnight snack it might be bad for more than your weight.（1）What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to（指代）?A . Studying for long.B . A nice pie.C . A new study.D . Late-night eating.（2）For the study, the researchers need .A . to check the brains of the mice before the test startedB . to feed the mice only during the time when they usually sleepC . to keep the mice in a room with an electric shock all the time .D . to let the mice receive the same amount of sleeep and calories.（3）According to the passage, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A .
