Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation fbr slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behaviour is regarded as “all too human,“ with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance(不 满，不平).But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of "goods and services, than males.Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnan's and Dr. de Waals study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting in return for its rock, their behaviour became markedly different.In the world of capuchins, grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over fbr a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either tossed her own token at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accept the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber(without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment('愤|艮)in a female capuchin.The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species. Such cooperation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation（愤慨），it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.361 > In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by.A. making a comparisonB. justifying an assumptionC. making a conclusionD. explaining a phenomenon1、The statement "it is all too monkey” （Last line, Paragraph I） implies that.A. resenting unfairness is also monkeys natureB , monkeys are also outraged by slack rivalsC. monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each otherD. no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions2、 Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys.A. prefer grapes to cucumbersB. will not be co-operative if feeling cheatedC - can be taught to exchange thingsD. are unhappy when separated from others3、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.B. Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.C. Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.D. Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source.Text 2The city of Amsterdam is one of the best preserved in all of Europe.

In my family, quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.In the United States, quilting was a craft（手艺）that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, theU.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle onland that that could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other. They would gather for so-called "quilting bees”, where they would meet up and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From then, we can tell where a person lived, what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt.Even today, women still gather to quit together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft, just like the old days. My sister has tried quilting a few times, and hopefully, her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.1、What do we know about quilting?A. It is a lost traditional craft.B.

That's definitely been the case for Jeffrey Lanenberg, a 51 -year-old paramedic（急救医务人员）since 1984.Ten years into the job, Lanenberg received a call that reported that a man in his early 30s had fallen down in the Mall of America. When Lanenberg and his partner arrived at the scene, they found the young male face down on the ground. He had gone unconscious, making weak attempts to breathe. His wife stood beside him holding their small son in horror. They quickly rushed to deGbrillate（除颤）and calm the man to keep him under control. After Lanenberg dropped the patient off at the neighboring hospital, he thought about the man and his family for a long time.Lanenberg thought he had experienced everything under the sun until one random visit to Office Max three years ago, where he met a man repeatedly walk back and forth while staring at him. As it turned out, the man was the patient he had saved 20 years earlier.“You gave me 20 years more than I ever thought Fd have, n the man said. He thanked Lanenberg repeatedly and told him he had someone he wanted him to meet. He stepped around the corner and reappeared with a 20-something-year-old man. Lanenberg instantly knew that it was the son he had seen standing by his mother all those years ago."That day changed my life, " Lanenberg said.
