When a rather dirty, poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and puts out his hands to beg __21____a few coins, do you hurry on, not ___22___ what to do, or do you feel sad and hurriedly ___23___ some money?

Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact ? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit ?

If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant.The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake.The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk.The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope.The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one the elephant’s legs.

The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.

Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience.So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.

To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment.Get three large bowls.Put ice water in one.Put hot water in the second.Put lukewarm water in the third.Now put your left hand in the ice water.Put your right hand in the hot water.After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water.Your right hand will tell you the water is cold.Your left hand will tell you it’s hot !

What makes people think about simple facts differently ?

     A.The fact that simple facts differ from one another

     B.The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact

     C.The fact that people often disagree with one another

     D.The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts

The writer’s advice is _______________.

     A.We should never think about simple facts

     B.We should never judge something with a one-sided view

     C.We should not agree about simple facts

     D.We must learn from the six blind men

After reading the last paragraph, we may think of __________.

     A.Newton’s law                    B.Galileo’s theory of falling objects

     C.Einstein’s theory of relativity       D.Marx’s On Capital (資本)

Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales

  Fish have ears. Really. They’re quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths (耳石).

  As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate (碳酸鈣). By looking through a microscope and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish’s age, just like the growth rings of a tree.

  Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They’re examining the chemical elements (元素) of each otolith ring.

  The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.

  Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history.

  In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fish, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles.

  This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean. Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.

What can we learn about fish ears from the text?

 A. They are small soft rings.

 B. They are not seen from the outside.

 C. They are openings only on food fish.

 D. They are not used to receive sound.

Why does the writer compare the fish to trees?

 A. Trees gain a growth ring each day.

 B. Trees also have otoliths.

 C. Their growth rings are very small.

 D. They both have growth rings.

Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings?

 A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of the sea.

 B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim.

 C. We can know more about fish and their living environment.

 D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.

How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”?

 A. They are very interested in Thorrold’s research findings.

 B. They want to know where they can find fish.

 C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.

 D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their ears.

Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(癡呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones, U.S. reseachers reported on Thursday.

Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies, and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer’s(早老癡呆癥). University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.

“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy are protecting the brain, including estrogen(雌激素), which we know has many neuroprotective effects,” Kinsley said.  

“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,” he added in a telephone interview. “They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”

Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer’s and other forms of age-related brain decline.

“When people think about pregnancy, they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,” said Kinsley, who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando, Florida.

“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain. If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy, they act differently toward young. But if she goes through pregnancy, she will sacrifice her life for her infant—that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations(改變) to the brain.”

How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”?

A. Some researchers have told them.

B. Many women say so.

C. They know it by experimenting on rats.

D. They know it through their own experience.

What does the phrase “l(fā)itters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?

A. Baby rats.       B. Animals. C. Old rats.        D. Grown-up rats.

What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?

A. Estrogen.                        B. The hormones of pregnancy.    

C. More exercise.               D. Taking care of children.

“It’s rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” What does the sentence suggest?

A. The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.

B. The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.

C. The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.

D. The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.

Which title is the best for this passage?

A. Do You Want to Be Smarter?

B. Motherhood Makes Women Smarter

C. Mysterious Hormones  

D. An Important Study
