Dolphins are our friends．They can use tools to solve problems although they don't have hands．For example, scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel(鳗鱼)come out of its hole with a dead fish．
Dolphins use different sounds to exchange information with each other．Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing．They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of individual(个别的)words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence．
Most animals enjoy playing－but dolphins seem to like making their games as challenging as possible．On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins．To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air．The dog seemed to enjoy the "game" and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour．
Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our "IQ tests”．For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle(口哨)noise．They do this because they will get a fish as a prize．
There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is certain that watching a dolphin show is fun．

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
Entering a university is an important part of a person's life．Today，many people go to study and train for future jobs in subjects like law(法律)，medicine or education．But the university is not a modern invention．It has a history that is over a thousand years．
The world's oldest university，AL-Azhar，is in Cairo，Egypt．It was first built as a mosque for religion(宗教寺院)in A．D．972．A few years later，learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque．They read and talked about the subject of law．Around 988，leaders in the city of Cairo decided to open up a school for higher learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded．
At AL-Azhar，there were many university“firsts”．Different subjects were set up．The earliest ones taught at AL-Azhar were law and religion．In a course, students read and studied with the teacher，but there was also free discussion．Of-ten,students and teachers talked about a topic(题目)，and there was no“right”answer．Finally，famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they were interested in．At the university，people studied the past，but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas.
Over a thousand years later，AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world．Its library keeps more than 250 000 of the world's oldest and most valuable (有价值的)books．Today，many of the world's most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar．
