25、

There are many kinds of animals in this world and some of them are our friends. But can animals be made to work for us?

Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do some jobs. In films or on TV we have already seen some animals like elephants, monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of easy things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given a little food to eat after they have done something. Scientists say that it is true that many different animals  may be taught to do lots of easy jobs if they know they will get something to eat.

We all know elephants can carry large pieces of wood with their strength, and dogs can look after houses for people. And we also teach animals to work in factories. Apes ( 猿 ), for example, have been used in America to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in corn or drive trains. People are training them to do those things.

D.We provide enough food for dogs to look after our houses.

Some people claim they “never forget a face”. But what does that saying mean? Is there really no limit to the number of faces a person can remember? A new study at the University of York in England has found that, on average, people can remember as many as 5,000 faces.

The study is the first time that scientists have been able to put a number to the abilities of humans to recognize faces. The research team tested people on how many faces they could remember from their personal lives and in the media. They also tested them to see how many famous faces they recognized. Rob Jenkins works in the psychology department at the University of York. He said the researchers’ study centered on the number of faces people actually know. He said the researchers were not able to discover whether there is a limit on how many faces the brain can handle.

In the study, people spent one hour writing down as many faces from their personal lives as possible. At first, they found it easy to come up with many faces. But by the end of the hour, they found it harder to think of new ones. Their change in speed let the researchers estimate when they would have run out of faces completely.

The results showed that these people knew between 1,000 and 10,000 faces. Jenkins explained that some people may have a natural ability for remembering faces. “There are differences in how much attention people pay to faces and how well they process the information,” he said. Jenkins also said it could be because of different social environments. Some people may have grown up in more populated places. Therefore, they may have had more social contact throughout their lives.

The people in the study included 25 men and women between 18 and 61 years old. Researchers think age may be an interesting area for further research. “It would be interesting to see whether there is a peak age for the number of faces we know”, Jenkins said. He said it is possible that we gather more faces throughout our lifetime. But, he added, there also may he an age at which we start to find it harder to remember all of those faces.

The study suggests our facial recognition abilities enable us to deal with the many different faces we see on the screens, as well as those we know, like family and friends. Today, facial recognition technology is used in many ways, including by law enforcement agencies to prevent crime and violence. Governments use it to keep secret areas secure and, in extreme cases, control populations. Even Facebook uses facial recognition. For example, when you “tag” or name a friend, Facebook technology may recognize the person’s face from a different picture you had shared before.

【1】The study at the University of York centers on ________.

A.how different people’s faces are

B.how important knowing faces is

C.how many faces people actually know

D.how much attention people pay to faces

【2】What can you learn from the passage?

A.It’s possible for anyone to remember 5000 faces.

B.The number of faces that people can remember is unlimited.

C.There is a change in the speed of people’s coming up with faces.

D.Facial recognition technology can improve social contact greatly.

【3】What does Rob Jenkins probably agree?

A.Remembering faces is not a natural ability for people.

B.People should gather more faces throughout their lifetime.

C.There is an age at which people can no longer know more faces.

D.People from a place with a large population may know more faces.

【4】What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A.To present people’s abilities to recognize faces.

B.To tell us how facial recognition helps humans.

C.To explain the meaning of facial recognition technology.

D.To introduce the development of facial recognition technology.

27、   In English, when someone is very angry we say this person “sees red”, like a bull goes wild after seeing a red cloth. Now it turns out that “seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a scientific fact.

Researchers at North Dakota State University in the US found that there is a connection between the color red and anger. Angry people really do “see red” where others don’t. And a preference for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile personality.

The study includes a number of experiments. In the first, researchers asked a group of people which color they preferred, red or blue. Participants (参加者) then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red tended to be more hostile.

During a second test, participants looked at faded images that could be regarded either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.

“Hostile people have hostile thoughts; hostile thoughts are connected with the color red, and therefore hostile people see this color more frequently,” the researchers told The Independent.

Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would harm another person than those who preferred blue.

“An important message from this research is that color can send psychological (心理的) meaning,” the researchers said.

Where does this connection between the color red and anger come from? Scientists said it might be a matter of evolution (进化). In ancient times, poisonous plants and insects could cause wounds and bleeding. So it may have become instinctive (本能的) for people to link the color red with danger and threats.

【1】“Seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a _______.

A.legend story B.funny joke

C.scientific fact D.useful suggestion

【2】The underlined word “hostile” in the second paragraph means_____.

A.unfriendly B.popular

C.upset D.cheerful

【3】During a second test, those who saw red scored 25 percent ______ on hostility in the personality test.

A.lower B.higher

C.more D.cheerful

【4】In the final test, the participants were told about ______ in which they could take different actions.

A.faded images B.the true information

C.the same experience D.imaginary situations

【5】Which of the following is NOT true about the study?

A.Participants did personality tests in the study.

B.Participants took three tests in the study.

C.Participants were tested on seven different colors.

D.Blue-preferring people were less likely to harm others.

【6】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.It tells us scientists’ new findings.

B.It explains why red is connected to anger.

C.It tells us the importance of evolution.

D.It shows us the poor living conditions of ancient people.
