Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked hi

76、m how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview.

83、）If you have a chance to take a walk in a park, look carefully at the people walking their dogs. Youll probably find friendly-looking people with friendly dogs; quiet people with quiet dogs; large men with oversized dogs and long-haired women with long-eared dogs. As youve probably noticed, dogs and

84、 their owners look alike. Have you ever wondered why?These similarities are so common that researchers have tried to explain them. There are two theories (理论): the convergence (趋同) theory and the selection theory. The convergence theory says that as the owner and the dog spend more time together, th

85、ey influence each other to the point where they grow similar. In other words, they “converge.”The selection theory, on the other hand, says that owners are interested in dogs that look like them, so they choose those dogs as pets.Recently, researchers at the University of California decided to test

86、the two theories by taking pictures of 45 dogs separately from their owners. Then they asked some students to match the dogs photos with their owners. The students were quite successful with purebred (纯种的) dogs: they correctly matched 16 out of 25 with their owners. However, they had almost no succe

87、ss connecting mixed-breed (杂交的) dogs with their owners. When owners select a purebred dog, they can easily predict (预测) what it will look like later. But that is not true with mixed-breed dogs because its hard to predict what a mixed-breed dog will look like when it grows up. And since it was the pu

88、rebreds not the mixed-breeds that looked like their owners, the research seems to prove the“selection theory”.But one bit of warning. Although many people look like their dogs, not all dog owners enjoy having the similarity pointed out to them. So, even if the similarity is amazing, dont go up to a

89、stranger and say,“Wow, you look just like your dog!”42The convergence theory explains that the similarity between dogs and their owners _.Adecreases with the age of themBdecreases with increasing differencesCincreases with the period of ownership (所有权, 拥有权)Dincreases with increasing attractiveness43

90、According to the selection theory, why do dogs look like their owners?AThey influence each other.BThey often do the same thing.CDogs follow what their owners do.DOwners pick dogs that look like them.44Whats the purpose of the research?ATo test two similarity theories.BTo prove the selection theory.C

91、To help people choose proper dogs.DTo show the differences between dogs.45What can we learn from the research?APurebred dogs have predictable appearance.BMost owners want their dogs to look like them.CMixed-breeds and their owners share similarities.DMost owners prefer purebred dogs to mixed-breeds.1B2D3B4B5C6B7D8C9A10D11B12C13A14A15C16B17C18D19B20D21A22C23C24C25B26D27C28A29D30A31B32B33D34D35A36A37C38D39D40B41C42C43D44C45A
