    Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.

    Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

    Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.

    There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.

    Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

    1.Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.

    A. live in groups B. have their own language

    C. are warm-blooded D. have large brains

    2.Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?

    A. Its jaw. B. Its ears

    C. Its nose. D. Its eyes.

    3.By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____.

    A. people are cruel to animals

    B. Jack is different from other dolphins

    C. dolphins are friendly and clever

    D. dolphins should be protected by law

    4.Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

    A. They wanted his help.

    B. They enjoyed playing with him.

    C. He was lonely and liked to be with people

    D. He was seriously wounded.

    “Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the founder of parkour ( also called free running－a kind of extreme sport).

    Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one? Like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond’s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.

    Yes, that’s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.

    Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.

    Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said, “I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”

    Another philosophy we’ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.

    1.Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .

    A. the film, Casino Royale

    B. its founder, David Belle

    C. its risks and tricks

    D. the varieties of participants

    2.The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to“ ”.

    A. streets B. objects C. roofs D. barriers

    3.Which of the following is true of parkour?

    A. It challenges human abilities.

    B. It is a good but boring sport.

    C. It needs special training.

    D. It is a team sport.

    4.Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?

    A. Sports and extremes.

    B. Excitement and popularity.

    C. Dreams and success.

    D. Determination and freedom.

    When people reunite with their loved ones, it’s usually all extremely happy moment. But what is their most common response to seeing them again? It may seem strange，but most of the time they break down in tears.

    Now a group of psychologists from Yale University say they have found the reason why, and that crying tears of joy may well be the body’s way of keeping emotional balance. “They seem to take place when people are overtaken by strong positive emotions, and people who do this seem to recover better from those strong emotions,” Oriana Aragon, the lead researcher said.

    Aragon and her fellow psychologists looked at hundreds of participants’ emotional responses to different things, including happy reunions and cute babies. Many participants said they would react in a negative or aggressive way to the positive things —— to cry at happy moments and want to pinch(捏)a cute baby’s face or even tell them “I want to eat you up!” But then researchers found that these people were able to calm down from strong emotions more quickly.

    There are many other examples of times when people respond to a positive experience with a negative emotional reaction. At an exciting concert, fans scream at their idols(偶像). People who have just had a big lottery win are often in floods of tears. “These findings advance our understanding of how people express and control their emotions, which is importantly related to mental and physical health, the quality of relationships with others, and even how well people work together.” said Aragon．

    1.What have professors from Yale University found in their research?

    A. The reason why people cry with tears.

    B. Crying tears of joy helps to balance emotions.

    C. Strong negative feelings are useful to people.

    D. People recover slowly from strong emotions.

    2.Which of the following agrees with the findings of the research?

    A. Crying at good news.

    B. Crying at a failure.

    C. Kissing a cute baby.

    D. Laughing at happy reunions.

    3.Where does the passage most likely come from?

    A. A science fiction novel.

    B. A psychological science journal.

    C. A popular biology book.

    D. An adolescent literature book.
