24、Mr. Shute was born in a poor family. He couldn't go to school when he was young.

Now he's a strong porter (搬运工) and works at a station. He doesn't think he needs to know much about science. His son, Bill, began to go to school last year. The boy likes nothing except playing. He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and can't do his homework after class. It's the hardest thing for him to do maths exercises. And he wants to drop it.

Last evening Mrs. Shute heard Bill crying in the next room while she and her husband were watching TV. She came up to him and asked, "What's the matter, Bill?"

"I can't do my maths homework,” said the boy. "I won't go to school tomorrow."

"No, no, don't do that!" the woman said in a hurry. "Maybe I can help you."

The woman studied the exercises for a long time, but she didn't know how to do them. Then she asked her husband to help their son with his maths. Mr. Shute said, "But I don't know maths, either. "

"It doesn't matter," said his wife. "You'll only fool him."

Mr. Shute had to do as his wife said. This afternoon Bill came back and showed his exercise-book to his father. Having looked at it, the man was happy and shouted to his wife, "Come and look at it! I got an A in maths!"

25、Almost everyone has dropped some food on the floor and still wanted to eat it. If someone saw you drop it, he or she might have shouted, “5-second rule!” This so-called rule says food is OK to eat if you pick it up in five seconds or less. But is that true?

Professor Anthony Hilton from Ashton University, UK, tested the rule with his students. They wanted to prove that food dropped for five seconds is less likely to contain bacteria(细菌) than if it sits there for longer.

For the study, Hilton and his students tested a lot of foods, such as bread, pasta, cookies and candy, to see how much bacteria they had when they made contact with the floor. They allowed the food to lie on the different types of flooring, like carpet(地毯), laminate (复合地板) and tile (瓷砖), for three seconds to 30 seconds.

Not surprisingly, the longer the food was on the floor, the more bacteria it had. And the type of floor where the dropped food landed had an effect. Bacteria are least likely to transfer (转移) from carpet, while they are most likely to transfer laminate or tiled surface after more than five seconds.

The study also found that the wetter the food, the more likely it was to pick up bacteria. Although most people are happy to follow the 5-second rule, eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection (感染) risk. “It also depends on which bacteria are on the floor at the time.” Hilton told Forbes.

【1】What is the “5-second rule” mean?

A．People often shout at someone when they drop food on the floor.

B．Food will go bad when dropped food on the floor in five seconds or less.

C．Food is safe when you pick it up from the floor in less than five seconds.

D．Eating food dropped on the floor for less than five seconds still carries an infection risk.

【2】Hilton’s test wanted to find out ________.

A．where bacteria come from

B．the students’ favorite food

C．if the “5-second rule” is true

D．if different types of floor have different bacteria

【3】According to the test, we learn the following EXCEPT ________.

A．the wetter food was likely to pick up bacteria.

B．bacteria didn’t transfer from laminate or tiled surfaces.

C．the dropped food on the carpet had the least bacteria

D．the dropped food had more bacteria if it sat on the floor for longer.

【4】What can be the best title of this passage?

A．How long does the food sit on the floor?

B．How to deal with the dropped food?

C．What the bacteria are?

D．5-second rule: what’s the truth?

27、When an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return  For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could act generously just because it felt good.

However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (an animal like a large monkey without a tail ) also do good things for.no real reason  And so do children who are as young as 18 months old. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor about 6 million years ago,

"People and chimpanzees appear to develop such features without any other

training," says Warneken, a scientist in Germany.

Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in

the African country of Uganda They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The researchers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment, a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick, but he couldn't reach it.  A chimpanzee was in the cage, and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.

Thirty-six chimpanzees took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadn't met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person  What's more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward. In a similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.

Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and children went out of their way to help.  Still, the new study is different from earlier findings.  Researchers have found that chimpanzees don't give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.

【1】A new study in Germany suggests that _ .

A. people also share information for good reasons

B. children know something at the age of 18 months

C. chimpanzees also do good things for no real reason

D. humans should develop their abilities 6 million years ago

【2】Warneken and his partners worked with _ .

A. young chimpanzees that live on an island

B. 18-month-old children who live in Germany

C. kids who are living with adult chimpanzees

D. adult chimpanzees that live on the African mountain

【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The animals hadn't met the person before the experiments.

B. No chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done.

C. The chimpanzees gave the person the stick in order to get a reward.

D. Thirty-six chimpanzees joined in this experiment one by one.

【4】In a similar experiment, thirty-six children helped the person reach the stick

A. If they were offered toys for their work

B. when they were asked to give him a hand

C. after they were ordered to act in a similar way

D. whether they were given toys for their help or not

【5】From the passage we know that _

A. children are more generous than chimpanzees m some ways

B. chimpanzees will reward good food to other chimpanzees

C. both chimpanzees and children can find their way to help others

D. both chimpanzees and children can do the difficult experiments

China is a great country with the largest population in the world. In order to 【1】 [sɒlv] the population problem, our government carried out the one-child policy before.
