Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership (伙伴關系) which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生蟲) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.

Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.

1.Some birds like to sit on a sheep because _______.

A. they can eat its parasites

B. they enjoy travelling with the sheep

C. they depend on the sheep for existence

D. they find the position most comfortable

2.The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ______.

A. birds and parasites B. birds and sheep

C. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites

3.We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______.

A. comfort B. light

C. food D. oxygen

4.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?

A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence[

B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.

C. Some plants depend on each other for food.

D. Some animals live better together.

Healthy eating begins with learning how to eat smart—it’s not just what you eat, but how you eat. Your food choices can reduce your risk of illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, as well as defend against bad mood. Moreover, learning the habits of healthy eating can increase your energy, sharpen your memory and stabilize(穩(wěn)定)your mind.

Healthy eating is about more than the food on your plate— 1. Healthy eating habits can be learned and it is important to slow down and think about the food as nourishment rather than just something to gulp down between meetings or on the way to your school.

•Eat with others whenever possible.

Eating with other people has a lot of benefit—particularly for children—and allows you to follow healthy eating habits.  2.

•Take time to chew your food and enjoy mealtimes.

Chew your food slowly and taste every bite. We always tend to rush through our meals, forgetting to taste and feel the food in our mouth. Reconnect with the joy of eating.

• 3.

Ask yourself if you are really hungry, or have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty instead of hungry. 4. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, so eat slowly.

"A photograph that one has taken of oneself,typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website."This is the definition（定義）of the word "selfie" in the Oxford English Dictionary.In fact,it wasn't even in the dictionary until August,2013.It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed（著迷）with selfies—we take them when we try on a new hat,play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

But does this obsession actually make sense?Is there any scientific explanation for it?Well,you should probably ask James Kilner,a neuroscientist at University College London.

Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions.In contrast,according to Kilner,we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them—we just feel them most of the time.

This has been proved in previous studies in which participants were shown images of themselves and asked to match their facial expressions in the pictures.In most cases,they failed to accurately produce the same facial expressions without being able to see themselves in the mirror,according to BBC.

To further test how we actually sense our own faces,Kilner carried out another study.He showed people different versions（版本）of their own image—the original which had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive—and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them.Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture.This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better-looking than we actually are.

But what does it say about selfies?Well,isn't that obvious?Selfies give us the power to create a photograph—by taking it from various angles,with different poses,using filters（濾鏡）and so on—that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

"You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non-virtual（非虛擬的）interactions,"Kilner told the Canada-based CTA News.Selfies allow you "to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with", he explained.

1.According to Kilner's studies,it can be learned that we .

A. know about our own faces well

B. tend to recognize our own faces easily

C. become poor at reading others' facial expressions

D. believe we have better images than we actually do

2.What does the underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Selfie. B. This obsession.

C. The history of selfie. D. The rise of selfie.

3.According to Kilner,why do people like taking selfies?

A. It enables them to improve their skill of taking a photograph.

B. It meets their needs to know their own faces better.

C. It makes them possible to reach their expectation.

D. It offers them a way to control the virtual world.

4.What might be the best title of the passage?

A. What Is Selfie

B. Selfie Beautify Yourself

C. How Do People Take Selfies

D. Selfies Improve Your Confidence
