SDA Bocconis courses are aimed at _A. academic upgrade B. job promotionC. interpersonal communication D. business managementBIn 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino on giant manta rays(蝠鲼), which explored the idea of whether these elasmobranchs(软骨鱼类) could be classed as selfaware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and DAgostino used the mirror selfrecognition test(MSR). It has been used to prove selfawareness in the great apes and Asian elephants.In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror image as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animals body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is placed in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.In the study, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highly repetitive movements and selfdirected behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selective attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as several unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed to a mirror.Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a new individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.Overall, Ari and DAgostinos study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites(先决条件) for selfawareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm selfrecognition in ape species. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical(伦理道德的) practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1，000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every year for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.()58. Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino conducted the study to _A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditionsB. display that mantas can interact with human beingsC. illustrate where selfrecognition test can be appliedD. prove mantas have the ability to recognize themselves()59. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The final result of Ari and DAgostinos study.B. The real purpose of Ari and DAgostinos study.C. The theoretical basis of Ari and DAgostinos study.D. The farreaching significance of Ari and DAgostinos study.()60. How did Ari and DAgostino make their findings?A. By observing mantas behaviours.B. By recording mantas colour changes.C. By collecting statistics from selfrecognition tests.D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.()61. The result of Ari and DAgostinos study could lead to _A. better protection of mantasB. largerscale hunting for mantasC. tougher restriction on ethical fisheriesD. further research into other sea animalsCThe most important determining factor of success or failureat work and in lifeis selfawareness, the ability to understand who we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150，000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feelings and behaviours, as well as to see things from anothers point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive.Though we may not face the same daytoday threats to our existence, selfawareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident and less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose selfdelusion(自我欺瞒) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with selfesteem(自负), constantly being reminded of their special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed(有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilitiesfrom leadership skills to achievements at school and work. Whats scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How can we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal selfawareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external selfawareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.It would be easy to assume that someone with internal selfawareness would also be externally awarethat being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how were seen. Strangely, research has often shown no relationship between the two some studies have even revealed an inverse(相反的) one.For those looking to gain true insight, remember that other people often see us more objectively than we see ourselves and that selfexamination can have hidden pitfalls(陷阱) that make insight actually impossible.()62. The first three paragraphs center around _A. the intelligence gap between modern men and their ancestorsB. the sharp contrast between selfawareness of today and the pastC. the necessity of a shift in selfawareness to satisfy the needs todayD. the significance of selfawareness in human survival and advancement()63. Whats the problem with “me” focused society nowadays?A. Peoples performance and abilities are overlooked.B. Its difficult to obtain an objective assessment of ourselves.C. Competent people tend to be unconfident of their leadership skills.D. Modern people fail to bring their special qualities into full play.()64. What does the writer stress in this passage?A. Knowing how others see us is the key to success.B. Understanding ourselves inward contributes to a better fate.C. Selfexamination helps us gain true insight into ourselves.D. Internal selfawareness and external selfawareness are closely related.DZelda DAprano was an unstoppable force, and if you didnt lik
