Another secret of animals’ survival is telepathy（心灵感应）. This sense becomes atrophied（衰退） in man, but a(n)   1  thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa, the lioness, frequently    2    when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it    3   180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most     4    when we made our irregular visit she was waiting for us. By following the spoor（野兽的足迹），we     5    that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.

The same thing    6   when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles     7    . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my     8    she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any     9    until I arrived in the evening.

I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing     10    later with one of Pippa’s cubs.

I don’t     11    this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland（腺体） it comes, or how it    12   . But if men could awaken or    13    it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other,    14     fearing and treating one another    15   , the world would be a far better place.

1.A. extremely  B. completely    C. thoroughly    D. definitely

2.A. sensed       B. aware   C. feels      D. concerns

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can ___1___ swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still    2    away. A mother who has not    3   the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.

One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:    4    we have learned something, additional learning increases the    5    of time we will remember it.

In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and    6    ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We no only learn but  __7   .

The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,    8    it may result in a passing grade, is not a    9    way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,    10   , is usually a good investment toward the future.

10. A. at most     B. by the way  

C. on the other hand   D. in the end

It was 20 years ago. I was driving home with my 4-year-old son. Traffic was light. I was singing quietly along   36   the song playing on the radio. I   37   at the intersection and looked both ways. The road was   38  . I slowly started to make a right turn when suddenly a car rounded the curve at high speed and came   39   at me. I stomped (猛踩) on the brakes of my car killing the engine in the process. The speeder zoomed (疾驰) past my dead car   40   me by inches without even slowing down.

  41   I knew it, a stream of rude words was flying from my lips,   42   after the car and its driver. I then saw my son who was staring up at me   43  . With a red face and a(an)   44   smile I started the car, pulled back onto the road, and headed home.

Later that evening I was reading a book when I heard certain    45   words coming from my son’s bedroom. He was replaying the   46   over and over in his mind. Too   47   I realized the   48   of those words that had flown from my lips in that moment of   49  . It took a lot of talks about good language and bad language with my son to undo (消除)the   50   of that incident.

That   51   , however, did teach me just how strong words   52   be. It helped me to decide to stop swearing (咒骂) in my own life and to start using words that uplift and inspire instead. I slowly realized that language is a   53   from God and should be used to make our world better but not worse. I learned    54   that a few loving words can help a hurting heart, strengthen a   55   spirit, and lighten a heavy load. I pray then that all of your words today are full of love, joy, happiness, and light.
