答案：61-65 CBADA

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 C

Dogs, like people and monkeys, seem to have a sense of fairness.

In the reward experiments, Friederike Range experimented with dogs that understood the command “paw,” to place their paws in her hand. The dogs were asked to shake hands and each could see what reward the other received. When one dog got a reward and the other didn't, the unrewarded animal stopped playing. When both got a reward all was well.

But the dogs didn’t seem to care whether the reward was sausage or bread. And the dogs never rejected the food, something that primates had done when they thought the reward was unfair. Range said she wasn’t surprised at the dogs’ reaction, since wolves are known to cooperate with one another and appear to be sensitive to each other. Modern dogs are descended from wolves. Next, she said, will be experiments to test how dogs and wolves work together. “Among other questions, we will investigate how differences in emotions influence cooperative abilities,” she said via e-mail.

Clive Wynne, a professor in the University of Florida, isn’t so sure the experiment measures the animals’ reaction to fairness. “What it means is individuals are responding negatively to being treated less well,” he said in a telephone interview. But the researchers didn’t do a control test that had been done in monkey studies, in which a preferred reward was visible but not given to everyone. In that case the monkeys went on strike because they could see the better reward but got something lesser. In dogs, he noted, the quality of reward didn’t seem to matter, so the test only worked when they got no reward at all. However, Wynne added, there is “no doubt in my mind that dogs are very, very sensitive to what people are doing and are very smart.”

答案：56-60 BCDAD

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B

Today’s English learner has a wide choice of dictionaries in which to choose from. There are dictionaries with American English, with British English, with idioms or slang, and even with pictures. The most popular dictionaries I have seen among many students are talking electronic dictionaries. All you have to do is type in a word in your language and you can see it and hear it in English. That’s great, right? Well, I think it’s great, too... but only sometimes.

Bilingual electronic dictionaries are fast and easy. They can be great when you are traveling and need information quickly. But I am against electronic dictionaries and even bilingual paper dictionaries in many cases. Let me explain.

When you reach an intermediate level of English, you know enough of the language to ask the meaning of certain things while using English. Translating between languages in your head takes time. You should be translating as little as possible and you should be thinking in English as much as possible. I strongly recommend that intermediate and advanced students use an English-English dictionary made especially for your understanding. For example, Longman has a good dictionary for students. Other companies do, too.

I also feel that paper (book) dictionaries are better for studying than electronic dictionaries. True, they take longer to use. But, for some reason, the information you look up seems to stay in your head longer. It may be because you were forced to spell the word in your head and therefore “see it” more clearly in your mind.

So what do you do if you have checked an English-English dictionary and still don’t understand something? Go to your bilingual dictionary. It is useful sometimes. Just remember to try to stay in English as much as possible.
