10、ion Commission) shows some common misunderstandings about Florida black bears in an effort to increase popular understanding of Floridas largest land mammal.Myth #1: Feeding black bears that wander into your yard helps the bears.The feeding of bears, raccoons, and foxes is against the Florida law. B

11、ears are opportunistic feeders and will remember where to find easy food and return to the location. If they continue to gain access to human provided foods, they can become food conditioned and habituated. Bears that begin to exhibit those behaviors can become a public safety risk and possibly be k

12、illed by wildlife officials. Remember “A fed bear is a dead bear.” If a bear is seen in your yard, increase their natural fear of humans by making loud noises from a secure location.Myth #2: Black bears are strict carnivores (食肉动物)。While the bear family is part of the Order (目) Carnivora, the Florid

13、a black bear is described as an omnivore (杂食动物), eating a diet made up of 80% vegetation, 16% insects, and 4% meat. Bears will rarely try to chase (追逐) down a large animal, such as an adult deer, for a meal, because it will result in a loss of energy a lot of energy used trying to catch the animal w

14、ith very little chance of a successful catch, thus no energy gained.Myth #3: Its best to run away or climb a tree to escape a black bear. Black bears have curved (弯曲的) toe nails, naturally making them great climbers. They will commonly climb trees or send their babies up a tree to escape an obvious

15、danger. Nut bearing trees, like oaks, are common places to find black bears feeding in the fall. Black bears can run up to 30 mph. Running from any wild animal can also cause a chase instinct (本能), so it is best to back away slowly and find a secure location, like a vehicle or building. 21. How can

18、 with deer.D. They have no fears of loud noises.BShortly after World War II, a Dutch art dealer was arrested (逮捕) for secret selling paintings by Vermeer (1632-1675) to the Nazis who invaded Holland during the war because Vermeer is considered to be one of Hollands best painters, the dealer was char

19、ged with selling national treasures to the enemy. To avoid the punishment for this serious crime, he admitted that the paintings were forgeries (伪造品)，or fakes he had painted them himself and fooled the art world and the Nazis. Today, experts agree that the forgeries do not look like Vermeers other w

20、orks. Why, then, did the art world accept the fakes as real?One reason why they were accepted was that the forgeries actually looked different than Vermeers other works. The dealer had claimed (声称) that the forgeries were from an unknown period early in Vermeers art career. Because painters styles o

21、ften change throughout their careers, art historians at the time did not expect the “new discoveries” to look exactly like the known works of Vermeer. In fact, because they did not look similar to the known works, experts did not bother to look at them carefully. This is because experts expect a for

22、ger to copy famous paintings as closely as possible. Once the art dealers first forgeries were expected as real, he was free to make more. The others closely matched the first paintings in style, so they were also expected as real Vermeer paintings from the same early period.Another reason experts w

23、ere fooled is what some historians call The Emperors New Clothes effect. In Hans Christian Andersens story, The Emperors New Clothes, two criminals convince an emperor that he is wearing beautiful clothes, when he is actually naked (赤裸的). No one in the empire wants to admit that they cannot see the

24、clothes because they believe the clothes are magic and that only good people can see them. Similarly, the art world was influenced by a famous art historian, Wilhelm von Bode, who said the forgeries were some of Vermeers best works. Because von Bode was highly respected, other experts began praising

25、 the “new discoveries.” At the time, this made it difficult to criticize (批评) the paintings or suggest that they were fakes.24. Why did the art dealer admit that he had forged paintings? A. He wanted to anger the Nazis. B. He felt bad about what he had done.C. He wanted to escape heavy punishment.D.

26、 He wanted to prove he was a good painter. 25. Why didnt experts expect the forgeries to look like Vermeers known works? A. Painters styles vary during their careers. B. Painters often create forgeries to fool experts. C. The experts didnt carefully examine the paintings. D. The paintings looked sim

27、ilar to Vermeers early works. 26. Why does the author mention the story The Emperors New Clothes? A. To give an example of a forgery in the literary world. B. To explain how experts were fooled by the forgeries. C. To suggest that Vermeer was the emperor of the art world. D. To compare the works of

28、Vermeer with those of Andersen.27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Nazi invasion of Holland in WWII. B. The paintings of Vermeers early period. C. How von Bode influenced the art world.D. How some forgeries fooled the art world.C For many years doctors have warned us about the dangers of

29、 stress (压力) and have given us advice about how to cut down our stress levels. Everyone agrees that long-term stress, for example having to look after someone who has a chronic (慢性的) illness, or stressful situations where there is nothing we can do, for example being stuck in a traffic jam, should b

30、e avoided whenever possible. However, some medical experts now believe that certain kinds of stress may actually be good for us.Dr Marios Kyriazis, an anti-ageing expert, points out that what he calls “good stress” is beneficial to our health and may, in fact, help us stay young and attractive and e

31、ven live longer.

32、ich are situations with short-term or low stress. The stress usually makes us react quickly, and gives us a sense of achievement we did it! However, in both situations, the stress damages the cells in our body or brain and they start to break down. But then the cells own repair mechanism “switches o

33、n” and it produces proteins which repair the damaged cells and remove harmful chemicals that can gradually cause disease. In fact, the bodys response is greater than is needed to repair the damage, so it actually makes the cells stronger than they were before.“As the body gets older, this self-repai

34、r mechanism of the cells starts to slow down,” says Dr Kyriazis. “The best way to keep the process working efficiently is to exercise it, in the same way you would exercise your muscles to keep them strong. This means having a certain amount of stress in our lives.” Other stressful activities that K

35、yriazis suggests as being good stress include redecorating a room in your house over the weekend, packing your suitcase in a hurry to reach the airport on time, or shopping for a dinner party during your lunch break. So next time your boss tells you that she wants to see the report finished and on h

36、er desk in 45 minutes, dont worry; just think of it as “good stress” which will benefit your long-term health!28. What is Dr Kyriazis opinion probably based on? A.
