【推荐1】It’s great that you know the ways Luna shows her likes and dislikes. Luna is a pet dog. She can’t use words to tell you how she feels, so she lets you know in other ways.
It can be hard to stop playing with our pets because they’re cute. But it’s important to remember that they aren’t toys. They live with feelings.
Enjoying a pet’s likes and dislikes is one way to build trust (信任). When you want to play with Luna, tell yourself that it troubles her. Think about how you feel when people keep doing something after you ask them to stop. Someday Luna may surprise you and let you play with her. At the same time, look for other ways to show her your care.
Lots of people feel the same way you do. Try to learn about the feeling better. You could ask yourself questions, like “When do I feel most afraid?”

【推荐2】More and more people now are fond of birds. They would like to go outdoors to see which winged animals they could watch or photograph. Scientists at Guangxi University in China noticed a great increase in the number of people, photographers particularly, visiting Nonggang Nature Reserve. “These photographers were setting up their cameras close to the bird nests,” researcher Xiaocai Tan said. “This gave them the chance to take great, and even award-winning photos.” However, researchers were worried closeness to humans would make birds nervous and less likely to care for their babies.
Tan and her team spent a year doing fieldwork, checking 277 bird nests that included 42 kinds. They were studying the effect that photographers had on birds’ habits, particularly how often parents fed their babies and the effect it had on predators (捕食者). Researchers found the nests that were photographed had a predation rate of 13.3% while nests unphotographed had a much higher rate of 62.9%. “The presence of the photographers increased the survival rate of the baby birds,” Tan explained. The presence of photographers seemed to frighten the predators away. It’s great fun that their presence had little effect on the feeding rates in those nests. Parents fed their babies the same whether they were photographed.
However, photographers shouldn’t take the finding as a warrant to disturb (干扰) nests. The National Audubon Society says, “Honoring birds’space must come before getting that perfect photo.” Among many tips, Audubon suggests using little flashlight.“If your appearance causes a bird to fly or run away or change its behavior, you’re too close.”
Tan adds, “Although this finding suggests that photography has a positive (积极的) effect on birds, it doesn’t mean that photographers can visit nests — it needs more studies on other areas of nesting, before the influence of bird photography can be fully understood.”
1. How may the researchers feel about the finding?| A．Doubtful. | B．Sad. | C．Surprised. | D．Nervous. |
| A．reason | B．habit | C．disadvantage | D．direction |
| A．Photographers shouldn’t take photos of bird nests. |
| B．There should be studies on what causes stress on birds. |
| C．More bird photography activities should be carried out. |
| D．Photographers can’t visit bird nests as often as they like. |
| A．The method of bird photography. |
| B．The influence of bird photography. |
| C．The distance between photographers and nests. |
| D．The difference between photographers and predators. |
①Animal behavior is an interesting and attractive study. Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food. They study how animals protect themselves from their predators, and which animals kill other animals for food. All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be.
②Each country or culture raises some animals for food. In the United States, people mainly eat meat from cows, chickens and pigs. In other countries, people might raise sheep or buffalo for meat. These differences come in part from weather and other environmental conditions. People around the world eat all kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers. In some countries, people don’t always choose some animal groups, such as dogs, for food while in other countries such animals may become people’s favorite food.
③In West Africa, animals provide humans with more than food. They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years. Horses, oxen(牛), and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants, camels(骆驼) and other animals carry people and things from place to place. Carrier pigeons(信鸽) have been used to send messages.
④People also receive health benefits(利益) from animals. For example, dogs and cats can help calm people down. This is helpful for people to fight illnesses. Animals can also reduce stress(压力), helping people to draw their attention to learning new information, such as reading. When people are walking their dogs or horses, it encourages exercise.
⑤Animals and humans share space on Earth, so keeping a healthy relationship with animals around us is our best interest.
