28、ssions might have started as part of a physiological function: for example, exposing the teeth to bite food. The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to

29、an adult that they want to be carried.Chimpanzees 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 professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the

30、 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

31、 his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward communication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa arent convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blo

32、od 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 hes cold and wants his mother to know.“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp,

33、a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If youre willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “ Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”28.

34、” express?A. Disappointment. B. Excitement. C. Anger. D. Happiness.29. Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?A. They meet their brother. B. They have nothing to eat.C. They are being breast-fed. D. They are parted from their mother.30. Under what circumstance will baby r

Where is the passage most likely taken from?A. An animal journal. B. A physiology book. C. A health magazine. D. A cu

38、 could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by their beds to wake them up in the morning.” she said.If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night.
