Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a distance, each horse looks like any other horse. But if you get closer, you will notice something quite interesting.

One of the horses is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down (杀死)，but has made him a safe and comfortable barn (马棚) to live in. This alone is pretty amazing. But if you stand nearby and listen, you will hear the sound of a bell. It is coming from a smaller horse in the field.

Attached to the horse is a small , copper-coloured bell. It lets the blind friend know where the other horse is, so he can follow. As you stand and watch these two friends, you’ll see that the horse with the bell is always checking on the blind horse, and that the blind horse will listen to the bell and then slowly walk to where the other horse is, trusting he will not be led astray.

When the horse with the bell returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, he will stop occasionally to look back, making sure that the blind friend isn't too far behind to hear the bell.

Like the owner of these two horses, God doesn't throw us away just because we are not perfect, or because we have problems.

He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse, being guided by the little ringing bells of those who God places in our lives. And at other times we are the guide horse, helping others to find their way.

The human face doesn't lie. We show sadness and happiness through our expressions. Scientists used to believe we had six basic facial expressions that tell others how we feel: sad, happy, surprised,

fearful, angry and disgusted(恶心的). But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think.

Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles(肌肉).

The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different descriptions. These included phrases like “you just got some great unexpected news", which produced a “happily surprised" reaction(反应)from volunteers. Others included “you smell a bad odor(气味)”, which caused "disgusted faces. In total, around 5000 pictures were taken of the volunteers. The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures. This helped them to define(定义) a facial expression. “That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone," said Dr Alex Martinez to The Daily Telegraph. For example, to express surprise, 92 percent of volunteers widened their eyes and opened their mouths, and 99 percent raised their cheeks and smiled to show being happy.

We are not always aware of our facial expressions, which can hold clues to how we really feel, so these results may have a big influence on medical treatment. If doctors were able to recognize more complex( 复杂的) emotions. It would help doctors treat patients surfing from certain diseases. ( )38. How many facial expressions can human beings make according to the study?

( )39. How do most people make a “surprised face?

d. Find 230 volunteers to take part in the experiment,

A. a-b-c-d

B. a-d-b-c

( )41. Which of the following is TRUB?

A. Humans can't make fake(假的) facial expressions.

B. Facial expressions can't show how we really feel

C. People can show the same emotion with different expressions

With their furry round heads and big black eyes, Zhongzhong and Huahua look just the same as any other monkey. But they happen to be the world's first cloned (克隆的) monkeys, Years ago, scientists used cloning techniques to produce Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal(哺乳动物). They now used the same technique to produce the monkeys in China.

In animal cloning, animals are produced in a lab by using DNA that is taken from the cells of a naturally-born animals. To clone Zhongzhong and Huahua, scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS中国科学院) first removed the nucleus(细胞核) from a monkey's egg cell(卵细胞). They then put another muscles taken from the monkey's body cells into the egg cell. The newly-

formed egg was put into the womb(子宫) of a female monkey. Finally, Zhongzhong and Huahua were born.

The cloning process (过程)is hard, especially removing nucleus. It needs to be done in a fast and precise(精确的) way. The fast you do it, the less damage(伤害) is done to the egg, according to CAS. Scientist Liu Zhen spent three years practicing removing the nucleus.

Unlike common monkeys, cloned monkeys have the same DNA as each other. When doing experiments on them, scientists can easily know that certain results are caused by different treatment, rather than different genes.

According to Sun Qiang from CAS, most drug trials(药物试验) are done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work on humans. The two species are very different. “Monkeys and humans are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective (有效的) as testing on humans," Sun added.

( )42. Zhong zhong and Huahua are

A.naturally-born monkeys

( )43. What do we know about the two monkeys?

A. They look different from other monkeys .

B. They have the same DNA.

C. Their body cells don't have any nucleus

D. They can live for only three years

( )44. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?

A. Removing the nucleus is difficult.

B. The cloning process is very safe.

C. It took three years to remove the nucleus.

D. It is impossible to clone other animals

( )45. Why do scientists want to do drug tests on monkeys?

A. Because it's easier to use them for tests.

B. Because there are not enough mice.

C. Because drugs work well on monkeys

D. Because monkeys are similar to humans.
