Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”? Recently social scientists have
begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Human beings use tools, cooperate(合作) with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects (方面) of human behavior, or “culture”, can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
( ) 46. According to the article, “culture” means_______________.
A. the languages we learn B. the good habits we share with each other
C. the forms of behavior we have in common
D. a way of life that some people have in common
( ) 47. From the fact that chimpanzees can use and make tools, we know _____________.
A. animals may have a culture like our own
B. animals can be as clever as human beings
C. animals have the ability to help human beings
D. animals can be more clever than human beings.
( ) 48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A. Chimpanzees never help each other.
B. Animals use their own language to communicate.
C. People from different places have the same culture.
D. Animals can’t share knowledge with each other.
( ) 49. The traditional idea dividing animals from human beings is that____________.
A. human beings can use tools B. human beings can depend on each other
C. human beings have the language to communicate
D. human beings can make tools
( ) 50. The main idea of the article is that______________.
A. the animal culture is different from the human culture
B. knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior
C. the line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think
D. animals also have their own language to communicate.

There are some easy things you can do to protect the environment and the earth. Choose ideas from the list or come up with a few of your own.
·Plant flowers, grass or trees.

For those of us who are studying at school, the time of exams is very stressful and difficult. Some people find exam times so bad that they become ill, because they are afraid of failing; they are afraid of letting their parents and family down. 61 Talk to someone about it. Maybe you can speak to a friend, or someone in your family, or teachers at your place of study. If one person doesn’t help you, ask someone else.
62 Here are some advice:
Ask a teacher or a tutor(家庭教师) about how to review your lessons, and exam skills ----how to work when you are in an exam.
Take short rests during your time of work. If your mind is tired, it will not remember well.
Plan your work: study at times when you know you will work at your best.
Get enough sleep, and eat healthy food.
You need exercise to work well, 63
Stop thinking about the future and failing.
If you feel ill, talk to someone about your worries. But don’t be to relaxed! Some stress over exams makes you work hard for them.
If it upsets you to talk to your friends about an exam when it is finished, don’t do it! In fact, don’t even think about the exam you have finished. What is done is done. 64
To this advice, we could add.
If you are studying in the evening, don’t go straight to bed. Your mind will still be “ going around and around”---thinking too much. 65 Choose something that will relax you, and make you think of other things.
根据短文内容，从方框内六个答案中，选出五个答案
A. If exams are really making you ill or worried, don’t hide your feelings.
B. You cannot change what you have written!
C. How to get through exams?
D. You can talk to your parents, friends or teachers.
E. Walk, run, and play sports---whatever you enjoy.
F. Do something else, maybe walk or get exercise.
