8．Just like children，baby animals spend countless hours at play．After studying animal play for many years，scientists recognize that young animal play is practice for adult behavior．Today this play is roughly divided into the following groups．
Locomotor play refers to the movements animals carry out in their play．Running，leaping，turning，and kicking are some of the most common examples of locomotor play．An adult deer may  run，leap，and twist（曲折前进） to escape its attackers．Play movements like these surely make  young animals nimble．Someday these skills might help save their lives．
Moving forward slowly，attacking suddenly．and biting are examples of predatory play that help  young predators（食肉动物） prepare for a life of running after and taking hold of other animals．Wild cats，wolves，and bears are predators．It is very common to see these young animals play this  kind of games which sharpen their skills and teach them about their strengths and limitations．
For children，playing with toys is both fun and educational．It helps improve their hand and  eye movements as well as develop hand skills to accomplish tasks．It is the same with animals．Young chimpanzees improve their hand skills while playing with sticks．Birds also play with things  in ways that teach．Swallows drop and recover feathers in mid air．Diving suddenly to catch the  feathers is good practice for catching flying insects．
Social play helps animals learn how to behave when they run into other animals．And it teaches  animals about communication．An animal gives signals to let another animal know it wants to play．Many animals give signals by showing a"play face"．In some ways this face is like a human smile； the animal holds its mouth in a relaxed and open manner．During play-fights，some animals may step backwards to signal that they are playing and not acting seriously．
Until now，scientists have understood playful acts help prepare animals for their serious adult situations．But the numbers of playful species and examples of animal play are vast．The purpose of animal play may have meanings scientists have not discovered yet．

19．Chinese Dinner Table
Of course，the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork，but that's only superficial．Besides，in decent restaurants，you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork，if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West，you have your own plate of food，while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time，he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．Soup then will be served （unless in Guangdong style restaurants） to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplings．If you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．In formal dinners，there are always"public"chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．It is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it，just leave the food in the plate．
People in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．When you have had enough，just say so．Or you will always overeat!

29．The real difference on dinner table between China and West is thatD．
A．You're treated to a formal dinner for the first time．
B．On Chinese dinner table，chopsticks replace knife and fork．
C．The host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．
D．You have your own plate of food in West while in China everyone shares the dishes．
30．If you have a dinner in a Chinese home，in which order will the food be served？C
a．serving soup．
b．a set of four cold dishes．
c．staple food such as rice，noodle or dumplings．
d．the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．
A．badc B．cabd C．bdac D．cdab
31．The"public chopsticks and spoons"are used toD．
A．taste different dishes
B．consume the food in the plate
C．show the friendship and politeness
D．put food into the plates of their guests
32．According to the message，the author's attitude towards Chinese dinner table isB

16．Lucky is the man who has no"skeleton in his closet．"When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of，that he wants to hide，he is said to have a"skeleton in his closet．"Some people may have more than one skeleton．
As we have noted many times，it is hard to find out how these expressions begin．Sometimes，we get some hard facts．But more often we have to depend on guesswork．And that is true of this phrase，which came from England．
Before 1832，English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination，unless it was the corpse（尸体） of an executed（处决） criminal．
But when it became legal，more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine．It was helping in the advance of modern medicine．The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices．
We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study．It became very important in his work．But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing．As a rule，the doctor keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen，or hide it in a closet．
After a time，people began to suspect every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet．From this suspicion，the phrase"a skeleton in the closet"took on a broader，more general meaning：to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering．It could be proof of a criminal act，or something much less serious．Well，that is one theory．
One writer，however，believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened．It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton，clear proof of some old family shame or crime．Well，one man's guess is as good as another．But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist，Balzac．
Balzac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover．The husband comes home by surprise．But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom．He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover．He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there； He will believe her．She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet．
The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet．His wife watches，knowing that her lover will never come out alive．But she will not change her story and admit her guilt．

68．Which of the following situations is now suitable for using the phrase"skeleton in the closet"？D
A．You have stolen something precious and hide them in the closet．
B．You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research．
C．If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret．
D．You have done a crime or done something foolish，but you want to keep others from discovering it．
69．Which of the following is right according to the text？A
A．In the 19th century，doctors realized the importance of anatomy （解剖） in the development of medicine．
B．The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeletons as possible
C．The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors．
D．It is legal that corpses of anybody are cut open for scientific examination in history．
70．From the story Balzac told we know that the wife's lover must have becomeC．
A．a corpse B．a phrase C．a skeleton D．a story．

3．When we can see well，we do not think about our eyes often．It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are．
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes．Many people who do a lot of close work，such as writing and reading，become nearsighted．Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly．
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem．They can see things that are far away，but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length．If they want to do much reading，they must get glasses too．
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape．This，too，can be corrected by glasses．Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts．Long ago these people often became blind．Now，however，it is possible to operate on the cataracts （白内障） and remove them．
When night falls，colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear．After your eyes have grown used to the dark，you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers．Sometimes，after dark，you see a small thing to one side of you，which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction．This is because when you turn your head，you are looking at the thing too directly．Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them．When they turn to look straight at it，they can not see it any more，and they believe they were mistaken．However，this mistake happens because the center of the eye，which is very sensitive in daylight，is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark．

52．We don't know that our eyes are of great importance untilB．
A．we think about our eyes
B．we cannot see clearly
C．we wear glasses
D．we have to do much reading
53．According to the passage，who is more likely to be nearsighted？A
A．A typist． B．A sailor． C．A tourist． D．A driver．
54．People who are farsightedB．
A．cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B．have the same problem as the nearsighted people
C．can only see things that are very close to their eyes
D．have difficulty reading if they hold it at arm's length
55．To see a small thing at night，it is better to lookD．
A．with wide open eyes B．with half shut or narrowed eyes
C．straight at it D．in a slightly different direction．

18．Traditional surgical procedures require surgeons to make large incisions（伤口） in a patient's body in order to gain access to the internal organs．It was once common for heart surgeons，who perform highly specialized and complex procedures，to make long incisions in a patient's chest and then split the breastbone to reach the heart．Patients who undergo surgery are often at the risk of infection，as bacteria can infect the cut in the skin．In addition，there is often a lengthy recovery period．
A surgical technique known as"keyhole surgery"has become more common in recent years．In general，the surgeon will make a couple of small incisions around the area where the operation is going to be performed．Tubes are pushed into the holes，and a tiny camera，which is called an endoscope，is put into the body．The camera is attached to a large monitor screen that is positioned so that the doctor can see it while he performs the operation．In addition to the camera，doctors also push their tiny surgical instruments through the tubes．The awkward part of keyhole surgery is that it is counterintuitive； that is to say，if a surgeon wants to move the tool to the left，he or she must push it to the right．
Other advancements in technology are also being used today in the OR （operation room）．A new machine called the"da Vinci Surgical System"has been tested in hospitals in the U．S..Unlike keyhole surgery，the da Vinci's robot's moving parts are designed to imitate the natural hand and wrist movement of a surgeon，thus providing better control and sensitivity．The system is controlled by a surgeon from a console（控制台）．Sitting at a console a few feet from the patient，the surgeon can perform an operation by holding and moving highly sensitive pads that enable him or her to control the instruments．The area of the body on which the surgeon is working is enlarged on a screen，which is attached to the console．This gives surgeons a realistic three-dimensional view of the area-similar to what they would see during a traditional surgical procedure．
Although the da Vinci Surgical System is undergoing some trials for some procedures，it has been welcomed as revolutionary by many surgeons．Patients with serious illnesses must still undergo major surgery，but the smaller incisions and less invasive procedures typically mean that a shorter recovery time is needed．In some cases，the patient's stay in the hospital has been cut in half when the da Vinci Surgical System was used．On the downside，some operations have taken up to fifty minutes longer because surgeons are inexperienced at using the new technology．As surgeons become more familiar with the machines，the time needed for surgical procedures is likely to decrease．

72．What can be learned about the traditional surgery according to the passage？B
A．The cost of the traditional surgery is very high．
B．It often leaves a large wound in a person's body．
C．Long incisions are made in a patient's chest．
D．The incision is often infected after the operation．
73．Which of the following is one DISADVANTAGE of keyhole surgery？C
A．It requires the use of long，thin tools and a tiny camera．
B．The doctor can not view the inside of the patient's body clearly．
C．The direction in which a doctor moves the surgical tools is reversed．
D．An endoscope has to be inserted into the patient's body in advance．
74．The da Vinci Surgical System differs from keyhole surgery in thatC．
A．requires that a surgeon make more small incisions on a patient
B．reduces the amount of time it takes to perform a surgical procedure
C．allows the surgeon to use the surgical instruments more sensitively
D．eliminates the need for surgeons to make large incisions on patients
75．The passage mainly tells the readerD．
A．the challenges brought about by new technology
B．the benefits and drawbacks of the da Vinci Surgical System
C．the reflections on the development in medical science
D．the application of new technologies in modern surgery．
