Even at a subconscious(潜意识的) level, it seems people respond to eyes, and that might be because eyes send a strong biological signal we have evolved(进化) to respond to.The finding, which researchers believe sheds light on our evolutionary past, could be turned to practical use. The psychologists say images of eyes could promote ticket sales on public transport and improve monitor systems to prevent antisocial behavior.59.

This behavior interests scientists and they wonder how ants know for sureand so soonthat another ant is dead.One scientist recently came up with a way to explain this ant behaviour. Dong-Hwan Choe is a biologist, a scientist who studies animals and plants. He found that ants have a chemical on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants, “Im deadtake me away” when it is dead.But theres a question to answer: As we know, if an ant is dead, it stops moving. But when an ant is sleeping or knocked unconscious, it is also not moving. However, other ants dont move the living ant out of the nest. How do they know this ant is not dead? Choe found that ants have another chemical on their bodies, which tells nearby ants something like, “WaitIm not dead yet” when it is not dead. Choe suspects that when an ant dies, the chemical that says, “Wait Im not dead yet” quickly goes away. When other ants detect the “dead” chemical without the “not dead yet” chemical, they move away the body.To test his theory , Choe and his team put different chemicals on ants. When the scientists used the “Im dead” chemical, other ants quickly moved the treated ant away. When the scientists used the “WaitIm not dead yet” chemical, other ants left the treated ant alone. Choe believes this behavior shows that the “not dead yet” chemical overrides the “dead” chemical when picked up by other ants. And that when an ant dies, the “not dead yet” chemical fades away. Other nearby ants then detect the remaining “dead” chemical and remove the body from the nest.Understanding this behavior can help scientists figure out how to stop ants from invading new places and causing problems.63. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. Leading the following paragraphs.B. Showing the main idea of the passage.C. Introducing the background of the passage.D. Giving a summary of the passage.64. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “overrides” in the fourth paragraph?A. is weaker than B. is stronger than C. is better than D. is worse than 65. What can we learn from the passage?A. Living ants can also be taken away when they are not moving.B. When an ant dies, it can tell others using a certain chemical.C. A living ant can pretend to be dead using a special chemical.D. Ants often use chemicals to communicate with each other.66. Which of the following descriptions about Dong-Hwan Choe is right?A. Choe did this study in order to stop ants from invading new places.B. Choe is a biologist who is only interested in animals, especially in ants.C. Choe first came up with an idea to explain this ant behavior，and then did some tests to prove his theory.D. Choe did the research on this ant behavior on his ownDIt was a Sunday morning, and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? Its a beautiful day.”“No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning. My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”. When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. A broken rib (肋骨) might have pierced (穿透) a lung.”My mother may have said more, but I didnt hear. I didnt hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled (愤慨地说出) those words at him earlier in the day?It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.“Daddy. I am so sorry.”“Its okay, sweetheart. Ill be okay.”“No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.67. The author was in bad mood that morning because _.

So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources. For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died.When we make news, we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source( because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source (because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening, so we have a clearer idea of what is going on there. They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events.In a newspaper, the position is different because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him/her is
