She loved to see the negative（消极的）side of life. Once, her father took her to the kitchen. He asked Mary to take a potato, an egg and two spoons of tea leaves. Mary was surprised and asked her father, "Do you want me to cook?" "No," her father said. He then took three pots（锅）and put some water in each pot. The pots were placed on the fire. Once the water started to boil（煮沸）, he dropped the potato in a pot, the egg in the second one and the tea leaves in the third one."Why are you doing all these things?" Mary was completely irritated and asked her father. "Just wait fifteen minutes," said her father. The impatient（不耐烦的）daughter waited for around 15 minutes. Now, he placed the two plates, one with the potato and the other with the egg, and the cup of tea in front of Mary. Mary asked, "What does it mean, father? I don't understand." "Each object faced similar adversities（逆境）but reacted（反应）differently. The potato, when put in boiling water, became very weak. The soft egg became very hard when we put it in boiling water. And the tea leaves changed the water itself, giving it a nice smell. It gave something new!" her father answered.Mary understood that we can create something new even when we experience adversities. So what are you?

Lately 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 includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects 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(非洲小猩猩) 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.51. Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea_________.A. A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentencesB. Other animals can invent toolsC. Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behaviorD. The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not asclear as we might think52. 〝Culture〞refers to_________.A. book language of behavior we learnB. the patterns of behavior we learnC. traditional ideasD. people’s good habits53. A chimpanzee’s use of tools means __________.A. animals are the same as human beingsB. animals can be as clever as human beingsC. the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer existsD. animals may have a culture like our own54. Which of the following statement is true? __________.A. The ability to use language separates human beingsB. We can be certain that animals have a culture tooC. Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture tooD. Some traditional ideas about eh difference between human beings and animals may be wrong55. The first sentence of the second paragraph 〝Our culture lets us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses〞means __________.A. as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws,long teeth, and other defensesB. our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesC. our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lostD. our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still have(C)PRIVATE ENGLISH LESSONSAn experienced teacher is offering private lessons in English.
