ourselves. __1.__ We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us — at least for a few weeks each year — and just have fun.

An elderly couple lived far away from their children. They noticed that they were beginning to forget many little things around the house. They were afraid that this could be perilous, as one of them might forget to turn off the stove(火炉)and thus cause a fire. They were so worried that they decided to see their doctor to get some help. Their doctor told them that it was unnecessary to take medicine and that many people of their age found it useful to write themselves little notes as reminders. The elderly couple thought this wonderful, and left the doctor’s office very pleased with the advice.

When they got home, the wife said, “Dear, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream? And why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”

“Don’t be silly,” said the husband. “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”

“Well,” said the wife, “I’d also like some strawberries on it. You should write that down, because I know you’ll forget.”

“Come on, my memory’s not that bad,” replied the husband. “A dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can remember that!”

And with that, the husband shut the kitchen door behind him. The wife could hear him getting out pots and pans, and making some noise, preparing the dish. He came out of the kitchen about 15 minutes later.

Walking over to his wife, he presented her with a plate of fried eggs. The wife took a look at the plate, glanced up at her husband and said, “Hey, where’s the toast?”

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Many of us feel sleepy in winter, but other species often take it a step further and hibernate (冬眠). 1. The body slows down and breathing, temperature and metabolic and heart rate all decrease. Dormice (睡鼠) head underground and hedgehogs (刺猬) hunker down in their nests.

Hibernation seems to do them good. But human cannot bed down for long periods. 2. To work out why we do not, first we need to find out why animals do. The most obvious reason for hibernating is to avoid the cold. Conditions are harsh and there is little food to eat, as fewer plants are growing. 3. Then they live off body-fat reserves until it’s time to wake up.

But a 2015 study of dormice found that they continued hibernating even when cold conditions had ended. 4. The key issue seemed to be connected with their main food: beech trees. The dormice need their seeds to reproduce, or for the baby dormice to gain enough body fat. In a harvest year, they produce plenty of seeds. Somehow the dormice could predict it. Otherwise, they stop reproduction these years and increase their survival by staying underground.

5. By staying out of sight, the dormice avoided being hunted by their predators (天敌) like owls. Until recently people thought hibernation was just about energy saving, a defense against cold weather and food shortage, and now we think it’s more predator avoidance. The survival rates in hibernation are close to 100%.

A. So obviously there are other reasons.

B. They were hibernating underground to save energy.

C. Hibernation is an extended period of energy-saving state.

D. All kinds of animals hibernate, from insects to birds and primates.

E. Why, if it is so beneficial, do we not hibernate?

F. The dormice had another reason to stay underground.

G. So many animals fatten themselves up during summer.
