The monkey, like man, has an opposable thumb-that is, it can place its thumb opposite its other fingers. By pressing its first finger against its thumb a monkey can pick up things as tiny as a flea(跳蚤)。 Because other animals lack this thumb, it is difficult for them to pick up small things and carry them. The monkeys ability to grasp rice with its paw often leads to its capture. Hunters put some rice inside a coconut(椰子果), leaving a hole in the shell of the nut. The monkey has no trouble sliding its paw through the hole. But it cant draw the paw out while it is holding the rice with its paw. Since it is often too stupid or greedy to open its hand, the monkey is unable to free itself from this simple trap (圈套). 1. According to the passage, not many animals have . A. Paws with fingers. B. Paws with thumbs. C. Paws without fingers. D. Paws without thumbs and fingers. 2. An opposable thumb is a thumb that can . A. Pick up things. B. Be place against the other fingers. C. Press against the opposite thumb. D. Press against anything. 3. A monkey can pick up small objects by pushing its thumb against . A. One of its fingers. B. All its fingers. C. Its paw. D. The objects. 4. Hunters can catch monkeys by a coconut trap because monkeys . A. are too greedy for the coconut they have found. B. Have trouble finding out the rice. C. Usually keep their paws closed to hold the rice. D. Like to eat rice but not the coconut. 5. The success or failure of a coconut trap depends on . A. What kind of rice is in the coconut? B. How many holes are in the coconut shell. C. How large the coconut is. D. Whether the monkey will give up the rice. BNasreddin was cutting a branch off a tree in his garden.
