20．Before birth，babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices．They can even distinguish their mother's voice from that of a female stranger．But when it comes to embryonic learning（胎教），birds could rule the roost．As recently reported in The Auk：Ornithological Adrances，some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch（孵化）．New-born chicks can then imitate their mom's call within a few days of enering the world．
This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kieindorfer，a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia，and her colleagues．Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs，When the eggs were hatched，the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers-a sound that served as their regular"feed me!"call．
To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds，the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren，another species of Australian songbird．First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queenslang before and after hatching，Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes．A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks，ranking them by similarity．
It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms．And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs，the more similar were the babies'begging calls．In addition，the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice were rewarded with the most food．
This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological（神经系统的）strengths of children to parents．An evolutionary inference can then be drawn．"As a parent，do you invest in quality children，or do you invest in children that are in need？"Kleindorfer asks．"Our results suggest that they might be going for quality．"

58．The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means"B"．
A．be the worst                 B．be the best
C．be the as bad                 D．be just as good
59．What are Kleindorfer's findings based on？A
A．Similarities between the calls moms and chicks．
B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia．
C．The data collected from Queensland's locals．
D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds．
60．Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds whichC．
A．can receive quality signals
B．are in need of training
C．fit the environment better
D．make the loudest call．

In agrarian(农业的), pre-industrial Europe, “you’d want to wake up early, start working with the sunrise, have a break to have the largest meal, and then you’d go back to work,” says Ken Albala, a professor of history at the University of the Pacific. “Later, at 5 or 6, you’d have a smaller supper.”

This comfortable cycle, in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals, gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal, eaten with the extended family. “Meals are the foundation of the family,” says Carole Couniban, a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania, “so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties.”

Since industrialization, maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder, with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand. Certainly, there were benefits. Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity, including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available, making us more energetic than our ancestors.

Yet plenty has been lost too, even in cultures that still live to eat. Take Italy. It’s no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy, but it was also a joy to prepare and eat. Italians, says Counihan, traditionally began the day with a small meal. The big meal came at around 1 p.m. In between the midday meal and a late, smaller dinner came a small snack. Today, when time zones have less and less meaning, there is little tolerance for offices’ closing for lunch, and worsening traffic in cities means workers can’t make it home and back fast enough anyway. So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day, the only one at which the family has a chance to get together. “The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,” says Counihan.

1.What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together？

A. It was helpful to maintaining a nation’s tradition.

B. It brought family members closer to each other.

C. It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.

D. It enabled families to save a lot of money.

2.What does “cultural metabolism”（Line 1, Para. 3) refer to？

A. Evolutionary adaptation. B. Changes in lifestyle.

C. Social progress. D. Pace of life.

3.What does the author think of the food people eat today?

A. Its quality is usually guaranteed.

B. It is varied, abundant and nutritious.

C. It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.

D. Its production depends too much on technology.

4.What does the author say about Italians of the old days?

A. They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.

B. They ate a big dinner late in the evening.

C. They ate three meals regularly every day.

D. They were expert at cooking meals.
15．Commercial advertisement was once thought of as a technique of the marketers to inform the potential buyers about the availability of certain products．It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy．The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products．This indeed，is an undesirable and an immoral practice．Instead of speaking about their own products，these marketers speak about the drawbacks （often without any basics） of the competing products．
People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods．A few such cases are given below．
1．Parachute Coconut Oil vs．V．V．D．Gold
Some time back，the producer of V．V．D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles （the reference was to Parachute coconut oil） was suitable only for un-natural hair．
2．Tata Salt vs．Captain Cook
Tata salt was first iodised （碘处理） salt marketed by an Indian Company．It has been enjoying a good and steady market．Captain Cook，another producer of iodised salt，who entered the market later，had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market．The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on‘Free flow'of their salt when transferred to a container．The producer of Tata Salt retaliated （报复） by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it carefully．
3．Pepsi vs．Coco Cola
Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996．When the cricket series was on，the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV．Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers liked Pepsi the best and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it．
4．Horlicks vs．Complan
Sometime back，the TV advertisement of Complan，a health drink directly attacked Horlicks，which has been in the market for several decades．The claim of Complan was that their brand （which according to them was Brand C） has a higher percentage of ingredients （材料） compared to Brand H （reference was nothing but to Horlicks）．
The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors．This，certainly，is not a healthy trend．
Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors'products．The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in．There are many consumer products like salt，oil shaving blades etc．But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different．
Mass media like Radio，Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies．Legal regulations，in this regard，should also be made stricter．
