There is a popular belief that goldfish only have a three-second memory. But a 15-year-old schoolboy from Adelaide has just finished an experiment（实验）to tell us that it is not true. He shows everybody that the goldfish is smarter than we think.
“I don’t believe that they had a three-second memory because animals need their memory, so they build up over time a knowledge of where the food is,” said Roy Stokes, a student at the Australian Science and Mathematics School.
He did the experiment in small tank（鱼缸）of goldfish. “I decided to get a bit of red Logo and just feed them next to that. Every day I’d put it in and spread food around it.” He said.
“At first they were a bit scared of it, but by the end of the three weeks, they were actually almost coming before I put the food in.”
After leaving the fish alone for a week, Rory placed the red Logo block in the tank again.
“They remembered perfectly well,” he said.
“They actually had a time faster than the average of the three feeds before I left.”
The goldfish showed that not only could they store information, they also had the ability to get it back as a later date.
Culum Brown, a research fellow at Sydney’s Macquarie University, has studied fish behavior for more than ten years.
He says his studies of Australian native fish show fish were intelligent creatures that know how to avoid enemies and catch food like any other animal.
“The thing that I really liked about Rory’s experiment is he not only got that classical conditioning going but the fact that he could get them next just to that specific coloured market. I thought it was really good.” He said.

A. adbecf B aebdcf C. dabefc D. adebcf
4.What do the last three paragraphs tell us?
A. Rory’s research was highly praised by experienced experts.
B. Rory’s experiment failed to meet the scientific standard.
C. Many scientists had already done the experiment before.
D. Fish are the cleverest animal in Australia.
5.What can we learn from the story?
A. Fish can become smarter with the help of red color.
B. What everybody believes is not necessarily true.
C. Scientists should learn from middle school students.
D. Young people are generally smarter than aged ones.
Different vitamins are found in different foods．Then which foods should be eaten to keep us healthy? Let's look at some important vitamins for the answer．
Vitamin A helps to protect skin from becoming dry．It is also helpful to the eyes．Without vitamin A, you cannot see well in darkness．Vitamin A is found in animal liver and yellow part of eggs．Sweet potatoes, carrots and other dark colored fruit and vegetables have something that the body can change into vitamin A． |
Vitamin B changes foods into energy and helps the heart and nervous system (神经系统) to work smoothly．Without it, we will be weak and will not grow．It is found in grains and other foods like beans, nuts, meat and fish． Vitamin B helps to produce red blood cells．It is found in foods like eggs, meat, fish, milk and green leafy vegetables． |
Vitamin C is needed for strong bones and teeth, and for healthy blood vessels (血管)．It also helps wounds to heal (愈合) quickly．The body stores little vitamin C, so we must get it in foods like oranges, and cabbage． |
Vitamin D increases the levels of calcium (钙) in the blood．Calcium is needed for verve and muscle (肌肉) cells to work normally, as well as to build strong bones．Fish liver oil has vitamin D．In some countries, milk producers add vitamin D to milk so that it will be good for children． |
1.Some dark colored fruit and vegetables are good for our eyes.
2.According to the passage, vitamin B can be found in animal liver and eggs．
3.From the passage, we know that vitamin C is good for the skin．
4.Some milk producers add vitamin D to milk mainly to help children to produce blood cells．
5.We can get vitamins from everything．
