totally wetsomeday，someone asked her，“whats the taste of salty coffee?” “its sweet?” she replied56after ordering some salt to put into the coffee，the young man must have felt aexcited bsatisfied cembarrassed ddispleased57why did the man have salty coffee all his life?ato change lifestyle bto amuse his wifecto keep his worddto remember the past58what did the writer mean by saying “she almost missed him” in paragraph 7?ashe meant to leave him on their first date.bshe thought of him every now and thencshe nearly misunderstood his explanationdshe could hardly believe this simple fact59it is implied in the passage that the woman when reading the letter left by her husbandawas confused about his behavior bwas touched by his white liecfelt sorry to know the truth too late dfelt angry about his dishonestyb for those who study the development of intelligence in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. an animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image（反射出的影像）.many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.now another animal has joined the club. in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences, researchers report that an asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.“we thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said dinana reiss of the wildlife conservation society, an author of the study with joshua m.plotnik and fans b.m. de waal of emory university. with their large brains, reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”the researchers tested happy, maxine and patty, three elephants at the bronx zoo. they put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.the elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.of the three, happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. she could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.diana reiss said, we knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way.60. what can mirror tests tell us about animals?a. whether they have large brains. bwhether they have self-awareness.c. whether they enjoy outdoor exercises. d. whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.61. why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?a. they are most familiar to readers. b. they are big favorites with zoo visitors.c. they are included in the study by reiss. d. they are already known to be intelligent.62. what made happy different from maxine and patty?a. she used her nose to search behind the mirror.b. she recognized her own image in the mirror.c. she painted a mark on her own face.d. she found the hidden camera.c i didnt hear them call my name, explained shelley hennig to active teens (at) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of miss teen usa 2004. are you ready? is what she heard. then she said, i shook my head no, and then they said yes and it was announced again. it was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from destrehan, louisiana-she was still on cloud nine i was so shocked! i never believed that it could actually really happen. present in the audience that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, at asked why herdance teacher had traveled so far to see her competitionshes always been my role modelive danced with her since i was six. shes been through so many difficulties and came through them all. ive learned to get over bad life experiences and learned how to move on because of her.one of those bad life experiences for shelley happened three years ago when her brother brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. he was 18. she found writing helped her get through the rough days. she said, i write a lot about my brother. i write a lot, a lot, a lot.”as miss louisiana teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. in her role as miss teen usa, shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.when at asked miss teen usa if she had any advice for our readers, she said, dont let anyone change you. hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. that way, it is easy to be yourself.63.what do the words “on cloud nine” in paragraph 2 probably mean?a. frightened b. troubled c. very happy d. very angry64.shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is .a. determined b. friendly

friends. bmeet friends whenever possible.c. go easy on yourself and others. d. have a good role model.d whos in control of your life? whos pulling your strings? for the majority of us，its other peoplesociety，colleagues，friends，family or our religious communitywe learned this way of operating when we were very young，of coursewe were brainwashedwe discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like usas oscar wilde puts it，“most people are other peopletheir thoughts are someone elses opinions，their lives a mimicry，their passions a quotation” so when people tell us how wonderful we are，it makes us feel goodwe long for this goodfeeling like a drugwe are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we cantherefore，we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives，failing to do the things we really want tojust as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品)，we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval but，just as with any drug，there is a price to paythe price of the approval drug is freedomthe freedom to be ourselves. the truth is that we cannot control what other people thinkpeople have their own agenda，and they come with their own baggage and，in the end，theyre moreinterested in themselves than in youfurthermore，if we try to live by the opinions of others，we will build our life on sinking sandeveryone has a different way of thinking，and people change their opinions all the timethe person who tries to please every
