Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family groups survival（生存）, according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Sussex University in England.Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling（联络呼叫）. An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby. A stranger can cause trouble, interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right. Working with Cynthia Moss, who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favourable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger, as do their much wanted tusks（象牙）. So the olderand wisera matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800, 000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.1What does the underlined word “matriarch” mean?AAn old member of an elephant family.

The tails-out look appears to be the default for a generation still searching fro a middle ground between the traditional coat-and-tie workplace standard and the Internet-era dress-down outfits better suited for weekend outings. The untucked dress shirt may not yet have made inroads（入侵；侵害）at law offices, but the style has passed the text among Hollywood executives and influential fashion types. Seated up front for the top-billed presentations at the recent Milan men swear shows in Italy was a group of men whose job is instructing men how to think and what to eat, buy and wear. Besides Peres, there was Nick Sullivan, fashion director of US fashion magazine Esquire; Jim Nelson, editor-in-chief of British fashion magazine GQ; and Joe Zee, editor-in-chief of Vitals, a shopping magazine that will debut（首次出现）in the United States this fall. “Its a kind of nonfashion fashion look,” Zee said. “All the young Hollywood types like Orlando Bloom wear their shirts untucked. Its one of those looks thats meant to seem like theres no effort.” It is so considered, in fact, that designers build the look into their collections. “Its just much cooler to have it out,” said Tomas Maier, the creative designer of Italian fashion line Bottega Veneta. “Its like men wearing shoes with no socks. Men wearing khaki pants or suits or jeans with tucked-in shirts look boring,” said Michael Macko, mens fashion director at Saks Fifth Avenue department store in New York City. “Its going to sound contradictory, since everyone is talking about dressing up again, and young kids are wearing blazers,” said Macko, whose Fifth Avenue windows display the first of the fall suits worn over untucked shirts. “There is something about being untucked and more casual that guys find charming and appealing,” he said. For those who lack the confidence to leave their shirttails flapping entirely, designers have provided a compromise, in the form of the half-tuck.1. The first paragraph is written to _. A. tell what opinion Peres has about tucking in shirts B. infer that having ones shirt out is becoming a fashion among some people C. suggest that in some situations, you should still wear tucked-out shirts D. tell the readers when to tuck in and when to tuck out2. Which is NOT the reason for the popularity of flapping ones shirttails? A. The tails-out look is neither too formal nor too casual. B. Leaving ones shirttails out makes one look cool. C.

The best title should be _. A. Flapping Shirttails Set Fashion Trends B. Fashion Gives You Confidence C. The Tucked-out Shirts D. Tucked-out Shirts Debut in USCIn 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the moon people they met. In turn, the moon people expressed their surprise. Why, they asked, are you traveling to outer space when you don t even use your inner space?H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the moon people asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The Chunnel, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now c
