【题目】For those who study the development of intelligence（智力）in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware（意识）of itself has a high level of intelligence.
Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image（反射出的影像）.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attention to the reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.
Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test.
“We thought that elephants were the next important animal,” said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.”
The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area (out of the sight of zoo visitors) and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.
The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.
Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.
Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."
【1】What can mirror tests tell us about animals?
A. Whether they have self-awareness.
B. Whether they have large brains.
C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.
D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.
【2】Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text?
A. They are most familiar to readers.
B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors.
C. They are already known to be intelligent.
D. They are included in the study by Reiss.
【3】What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty?
A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror.
B. She painted a mark on her own face.
C. She recognized her own image in the mirror.
D. She found the hidden camera.

【题目】Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.【1】First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
【2】The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com.The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

▲ Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
▲Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
▲Do not translate everything into your native language.
▲【4】Don ‘t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
▲Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion.【5】Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A．Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
B．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners.
C．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
E．So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F．What should you do?
G．Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
