The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of munication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be earned. 4tChiinpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned（断奶）by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual, says Anne Pusey, a professoral the University of Minnesota. kkThcy whimper （呜咽）and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.''Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward munication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa aren't convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold.Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because he's cold and wants his mother to know.“AU young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,M says Jaak Panks psychologist at Bowling Green State University. t4If you're willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.M he says, “Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.,28.According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does "exposing the teeth'' express?A.

They feel cold and long for affection.C. Their blood flow is increased.D. Their mother brings them back home.31 .Where is (he passage most likely taken from?A. An animal journal.B. A physiology book.C.

The dark side of the change could be a much bigger breakdown of employment than in Victorian times, with professions such as accountancy （会计）among those at risk.A report by the accountancy firm PwC last month warned that more than 7 million jobs in Britain had been lost over the next 20 years as technological change sweeps through workplaces. The majority of these are in jobs in the retail, transport and manufactui ing industries. However, other traditional professional sectors could also be at serious risk.Economists treat the arrival of increasingly intelligent puters and robots as the fourth industrial revolution.

This is the dark side of technological revolution.v“That hollowing-out is going to be potentially on a much greater scale in the future, when we have machines thinking and doing the cognitive and technical skills of humans." Mr Haldane said professions like accountancy could be among those hardest hit by the rise of AL But he suggested economists could escape.32 .What is the dark side mentioned in the text?A. The hollowing-out has bee a major social problem.B. Less and less people have the desire to learn accountancy.C. Intelligent puters and robots decrease good workers.D. The technological revolution causes people to lose jobs.33 . Why arc economists the kicky dog in the new technological revolution?A. The study about economy is at a low level.B. Economists work on a traditional professional job.C. There is no machine that can work as an economist.D. Economists have the chance to avoid technological revolution.34 .What should be done to deal with the serious situation?A. To call for people to devote more to studying history.B. To teach people to grasp the chances technological revolution brings about.C. To warn people not to work on transport and manufacturing industries.D. To ask workers to develop and think as the intelligent puters and robots do.35 .What attitude did Haldane have towards the future employment?A. Positive. B. Aggressive. C Critical. D.
