Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do. When horses raise their noses and
open their nostrils (

) , their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can't sense. This
might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the
tastiest grasses, experts say.

Whale says thanks

freeing
it.
Afterward,

thanks,

whale
swam
near
their
boat
and
leaped into the air about 40 times.

Pandas like to be naughty

Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby
pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their
thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of
ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.

A cat honors its owner

Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year- old
gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo's grave every day since the man
died in September 2011. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old,

A biologist once criticized for stealing eggs from the nests of the rarest bird in the world has
been
awarded
the

Prize
of
conservation
after
his
methods
saved
nine
species
from
extinction.


Professor
Carl
Jones
won
the
2016
Indianapolis
Prize
---
the
highest
accolade
in
the
field
of
animal
conservation
---
for
his
40
years
of
work
in
Mauritius,
where
he
saved
an
endangered
kestrel from becoming the next Great Auk.

When the 61-year-old first travelled to the east African island in the 1970s, he was told to close
down a project to save the Mauritius kestrel. At the time there were just four left in the wild,
making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding
(
人工繁殖
), which involved snatching eggs from the birds' nests and hatching(
孵化
)them under
incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.

A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are
around
400
in
the
wild.
The
biologist
has
also
been
necessary
in
efforts
to
bring
other
rare
species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues
warbler.

Prof Jones was awarded the $$250,000 (£172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.

with

arguing
that
they

and
took
the

Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight
years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved
that his work to save birds was right.

It was only after her death from Bright's disease on May 15, 1886 that Emily Dickinson enjoyed
recognition for her poetic accomplishment. A limited volume of her works appeared in1890, but
it was Thomas H. Johnson's release of her complete body of poetry that made her works receive
real acclaim. He published 1,775 of her poems in 1955 in a volume entitled The Poems of Emily
Dickinson.

Emily Dickinson was born in Amherst, MA in 1830. The Dickinson family was well known in the
community for their contribution to politics and education. Dickinson lived most of her life with
her
grandfather
who
was
famous
for
having
founded
the
Amherst
Academy
in1814
and
later
Amherst College in 1821.

Emily Dickinson led a reclusive life, but her childhood was a happy one. She had the privilege of
being educated at some of the most outstanding women schools in her time and devoted herself
to reading all kinds of books.

It was during her college years that Emily started writing. Some of her poems were published
with
the
help
of
her
female
friends.
However,
the
first
serious
attempt
at
having
her
poems
published
failed
for
her
being
rejected
by
The
Atlantic
magazine.
This
led
the
selfconscious
poetess to believe that the public would never care for her works, and thus she never attempted
to have any of her works published again. After the Civil War, Dickinson withdrew from society
and had little contact outside of Amherst.

Dickinson was very concerned with the subject of nature. Her writings are complex, and for
many
years
scholars
have
searched
for
romantic
inspiration,
but
have
not
yet
understood
her
works. What is clear, however, is that her works can't just simply describe something in terms of a
narrative style.

Without doubt, Dickinson's works have greatly influenced and continue to influence modern
poetry.
In
her
time,
her
writing
style
was
unique
given
that
it
included
the
use
of
dashes
and
capitalized nouns. None of her works rhymed, and she used unusual comparisons when referring
to events and situations. This unconventional method of writing has made her one of the most
innovative poets of the 19th century.

（
1
）
Which of the following best explains

A. Apology.
B. Enthusiasm.
C. Approval.
D. Reference.

（
2
）
What did Dickinson do during her childhood?

A. She studied in good schools.

B. She passed her poems to magazines.

C. She spent much time on politics and education.

D. She practiced writing with the help of her friends.

（
3
）
What do we know about Dickinson's poems?

A. They are easy for readers to understand.

B. They make much difference to modern poetry.

C. They inspire modern naturalists to study nature.

D. They rhyme well and include many comparisons.

（
4
）
What can be the best title for the text?

A. Causes of Emily Dickinson's Failure

Wilbur and Orville Wright were the two youngest sons of Bishop Milton Wright, Wilbur was
born on a farm near Millville and Orville was born in August in the house the family would come
to occupy for more than 40 years in Dayton.

Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur's first interests in flight began when
they
were
children,
with
powered
rubber-band-helicopter
toys
that
their
father
would
bring
home for them from trips around the country. Orville and Wilbur would build duplicates
（复制

of these toys and bounce them off the ceiling. They were just crazy about these things for
the reasons that they did not yet understand.


Both
boys
loved
to
solve
problems
that
seemed
difficult
to
others.
The
more
difficult
the
problem was, the more they saw it as a challenge. Exploring the unknown was such a joy for then
that Orville once said,
come to get at something that interested us. That's happiness.

Putting their gift to work, the boys entered the printing business soon after high school. Orville
designed and then built a printing press
（印刷机）
for this enterprise. At first, they did contract
printing
for
other
people,
and
soon
one
of
their
customers
during
the
early 1890s
was
Father
Milton's church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the
West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had
daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing.

Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business. Bicycling was the fastest
growing
sport
in
the
country
at
that
time,
and
their
repair
shop
soon
led
them
into
building
bicycles of their own design, often with tools of their own construction, such as the lathe
（车
床）
driven by a one-cylinder gasoline engine built by Orville. The bicycle shop would provide the
livelihood
（生计）
that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes.

Generally speaking, people like those who have a good sense of humor.

Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend
of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (
最后通牒
)
about
being
late
on
the
job.
Although
there
was
a
good
reason
for
Brian's
being
late
—
serious
illness at home
—
he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His boss
was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.

Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room
(
更衣室
): everyone was hard at work. Brian's boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile
and stretched out his hand.
