When Jessica came in as a baby in 2010 she could not stand.Both wings were broken. I took her to the vet’s office to give her a chance at life.

Six weeks later, she still couldn’t stand. It got to the point where an awful decision had to be made if she couldn't stand in a week. It looked like death was winning. She was going to be put down that Friday. I didn’t want to go to the center, But I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was smiling widely. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was, standing on her own. a big beautiful eagle. I was just about in tears.

We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me o glove train her. I got her used to the glove, and we started doing education programs for schools. Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2016, I was diagnosed with cancer. I had stage 3, which is not good. When I felt good enough, I would take Jessica out for walks Jessica would also come to me in my dreams and help me fight the cancer time and time again.

Fast forward to November 2016, I went in for my fast checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone, my last choice was a stem cell transplant. I went in on Monday,and I was told all the cancer was gone!

The first thing I did was take the big girl out for a walk. I hadn’t said a word to Jessica, but

somehow she knew. She stared into my eyes and wrapped me with her wings. We just stood there like that. That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. 24.What does the underlined phrase “put down” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Set free. B. Killed painlessly. C. Taken home. D.

A fun way to learn about the people in the destinations you travel to around the globe is to drop into a friendly local bar off the beaten tourist track and enjoy a sip of something the region is famous for.To help you have fun, we’ve rounded up how to say “Cheers!” around the world.

Who doesn't dream of living the good life in France? The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine. They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne! Just before your first sip, look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their “cheers”:a votre sante!

Is it just us, or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm? It's lovely anytime: brunch, to celebrate something, or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend. It originated in Italy’s Veneto region but is now available all over the world. When in Italy, the most common toast is “salute” or “cin cin” (pronounced Chin Chin), which has its origins in China. However, do not use this as a toast in Japan. It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country. If you find yourself in the land of the rising sun, stick with “kampai,” which means, “cheers!”

If you haven't been to Ireland--what are you waiting for? It's the friendliest place, and one of the funniest on the planet, and the pubs are full of stories, where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinnessor. The Irish language can be a bit tricky for visitors to grasp but, again, practice makes perfect. Simply say, “Slainte Itsw,” pronounced Slawn (to rhyme with pawn) cha (as in cha cha cha). Bottoms up!

28.What is the French way of saying “cheers”? A. A votre sante. B. Salute. C.Kampai. D. Slainte Itsw. 29. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. An Italian wine. B.A toast from China. C. A Japanese custom. D. A French expression. 30 What can we learn about Ireland from the text?

A. It is famous for food. B. Its language is simple. C. It makes perfect wines. D. It is well worth visiting. 31. What's the main purpose of the text? A. To introduce world famous wines. B. To show how to make friends in bars.

C. To give suggestions on drinking regionally.

D. To recommend some famous travel destinations.

As evolution tends to remove waste, how come we evolved such large, energy-consuming brains?The dominant hypothesis(假设) suggests that tough social interactions are the driving force. But our new study done in an unusual way shows that human brain expansion was likely driven by ecology(生态).

Scientists have tested the ecological and social hypotheses before. The common approach is to look at many species and investigate whether large brains are associated with specific problems. For example, do primates or other animals with large brains have a diet that is challenging to find but nutritionally rewarding? This would indicate an ecological origin, Or do they live in large groups where they face lots of social problems?

While many studies have found such associations, there is a problem. It cannot tell whether large brains evolved to solve the difficult problems or whether they evolved for other reasons and then enabled their bearers to deal with the hard problems.

To find out the causes of brain expansion, we recreated the scenarios(情景) of the two hypotheses using a mathematical model.We found that a combination of ecological and social challenges do produce the brain size we see in humans. But it was ecological challenges that expanded brains. In contrast to the dominant view and our own expectation, we found that social challenges contributed by decreasing brain size. But you need both factors to get the brain size we see today--if there were no social challenges our brains would have been even larger but likely poorly suited to social life. Bigger isn’t necessarily better.

But many animals face hard. ecological problems. Why don't they all have large brains? We found that ecological problems only lead to human-sized brains when individuals can keep hard skills as they grow. So our results and those of others suggest that a hard ecology and the accumulation of cultural knowledge could act together to produce a human sized brain.

Will the human brain expand further? The complexity of the systems involved makes it impossible to say much with certainty at present.

32. In most people's view, what makes human evolve large brains? A. Social challenges. B.Social and ecological challenges. C. Ecological challenges. D. Competition with other large animals. 33. What's the problem of the common approach? A. Its model is not reliable enough.

B. It doesn't tell the cause and effect clearly. C. Its hypothesis cannot be proved effectively.

D. It doesn't find brain size is connected with problems. 34. Why don't many animals have large brains? A. They don't learn from each other.
