Who has the right for what? What do you need to complete to graduate?Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of

12、our bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.Build your identity. This is the time

18、gestion that you make a identity card first.BEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, w

19、ith the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan 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 behavi

20、ors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perf

21、ect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that e

22、ach other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over f

23、or a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was

24、enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey. The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of

25、anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common

26、 roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question. 6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world.B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated. C. In t

27、he wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other.D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive.7.

28、ys natureC. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each otherD. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings8. Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are _.A. more likely to weigh what they get B. attentive to researchers instructionsC. nic

29、e in both appearance and behaviorsD. more ready to help others than their male companions9. Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?A. Human beings feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys. B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with oth

30、ers.C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating back to 35 million years ago.10. What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarahs study?A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.B. They usua

31、lly show their feelings openly as humans do.C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild. CFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal ci

32、garette tax more than doubledto $1. 01 per packsmokers have jammed telephone “quit lines” across the country seeking to kick the habit. This is not a surprise to public health advocates. Theyve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sen

33、sitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase. The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as

34、teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely. In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost 10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston, S, C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the

35、 nation. The price was $4. 78. The influence is obvious. In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records. Hal R

36、ogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke.” Thats true, But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place,

37、As for todays adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better. 11. The text is mainly about_.
