Question

An Australian zoologist(动物学家) brought two monkeys from Amazon. One was very strong; the other was a little weak. He put them in two cages（笼子）,feeding them carefully and watching their living habits every day. A year later, to his surprise, the big monkey died with no reason. In order to research, he had another brought from Brazil. This one was bigger than the dead one, but it died in less than half a year. In order to make sure of the reason, he dissected(解剖）their bodies, but could not find out the reason of death from the beginning to the end.

After that, he returned to Amazon and made research about those monkeys there. It showed that every big and strong monkey has quite good relationships with others. When other monkeys get food, they always can share a piece. But this kind of monkeys are seldom able to keep their cool. They will jump here and there when free, playing with each other. However, once they have been caught, few can live for a year. While those monkeys who are good at staying in the sunlight and refreshing(使......恢复) their spirit by closing their eyes are different because they don’t get on well with others, few of those monkeys can share the others’ food. This kind of monkeys grows smaller and weaker; however, they can live longer after they are caught.

The zoologist later concluded(做结论) that , for monkeys, the life short of communications is a defect( 缺失）while the life short of being alone is a disaster(灾难).

Such is the world of monkeys. Isn’t it the same in the human world?

1.The first strong monkey’s death made this Canadian zoologist amazed.

2.The second strong monkey from Amazon died in less than half a month.

3.From the research the zoologist found that strong monkeys have better communication than weak ones.

4.Weak monkeys live longer because they do not need others very much.

5.From the passage we know that learning to live alone sometimes is more important than communication.
