4.Martin Lynch,an American businessman,had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years.One morning while going for a walk along the beach,he saw his friend Pablo Perez,a local fisherman.Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy.He could also see several large fish in the boat.Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish."Just a few hours,"replied Pablo.Martin asked,"Why didn't you stay longer and catch more fish?""I have enough for my family,"Pablo said."And what do you do with the rest of your day?"asked Martin."I take a nap,play with my children,spend time with my wife,and go into the village to see my friends and play cards,I have a full and busy life."Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish,he could make more money.With the extra money,Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish.By selling the fish,Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.
"Then what?"asked Pablo."Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business.Finally,you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,"replied Martin."How long will that take?"asked Pablo.
Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.
"And then what"asked Pablo.
"Well,that's the best part,"Martin said."You will be able to retire,buy a house near the ocean,sleep longer,play with your children,spend more time with your wife,see your friends,and play cards."

South of France
Markets with fresh fruits and vegetables and butcher shops arc abundant.Regional (地区的) wines are excellent.And freshly baked French bread with French butter is what memories are made of.Take a chair in an ancient walled city for a meal with a view that you will never forget.
Barcelona
This bustling city filled with unique buildings is a city for lovers of history,architecture,and food.Kiosko Universal,a counter restaurant at one comer of the market,prepares some of the simplest and best food we've ever had.Give yourself a week to explore and sec everything the city offers.The city is not to be missed.
Italy
It's hard to choose one place or city to visit.Some of our favorite places include the coastal regions on the Adriatic and Tuscany.Friuli stole our hearts last year with its many unique wines,small artisan food producers,and influences from neighboring countries like Austria and Germany.
Mexico City
From unbelievable food markets and casual street stands,Mexico City has become the place to travel for the food lovers.If you want to eat locally,order a Hurache,a street food specialty.All you will need is a local microbrew or Mezcal (龙舌兰酒) to wash it down.

24.What do the four places have in common?D

5.At any discussion of a job offer,money can be a deal breaker.Negotiating an attractive deal,however,can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the necessary skills or simply because they're too concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job.
These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍),but it doesn't mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get.Needless to say,if money isn't a big factor in your decision,you still need to make sure that the deal you're accepting is fair compared to what's offered in the market.Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.
Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money.
Negotiate too early.Timing is of essence in any negotiation,and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly.Many employers,in fact,rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make.The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you've been selected for the position.
Abandon professionalism.It's common that people,after going through a long recruitment process,can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations.If you find yourself in this situation,don't abandon your professional attitude or throw a fit.This likely will get you nowhere except the door.
There're two options to this situation:the first is that the employer is inflexible (不灵活的) about the budget,and in this case,you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.
The second option is that there's some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization.If this is the case,you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary.Still,if this is not acceptable,you don't have to take it.

32.What is the most difficult for most jobseekers at the discussion of money according to Para.1?A
A.Being too difficult to handle the money.B.Not having got certain skills.
C.The first necessary step.D.Lacking a good chance to get a job.
33.What does the underlined part"throw a fit"in Para.5mean?B
A.Get excited.B.Get angry.C.Become amused.D.Be delighted.
34.What should you do if you are offered an unsatisfactory salary?D
A.Ask for a higher salary.
B.Immediately give up the job.
C.Just calm down and figure out the situation.
D.Try to prove you are the best candidate for the job.

7.A new study finds that young females in one group of African chimps(黑猩猩) use sticks as dolls more than their male peers(同龄) do,often treating pieces of wood like a mother chimp caring for a baby.In human cultures around the world,girls play with dolls and pretend that the toys are babies far more than boys do.
Chimp observations,collected over 14 years of field work with the Kanyawara chimp community in Kibale National Park in Ugandan,provide the first evidence of a nonhuman animal in the wild that exhibits sex differences in how it plays.This finding supports an argument that biology as well as society underlies boys'and girls'different toy preferences.
Stick play occurred most commonly between ages 3 and 9.Females spent a lot more time carrying sticks than males did.Young male chimps occasionally used sticks to mimic(模仿) chi ldcare."Far more often,they fought with sticks,an infrequent behavior among females,"say Sonya Kahlenberg of Bates College in Lewiston,Maine,and Richard Wrangham of Harvard University.
"Biological differences between the sexes make female chimps more receptive to stick-mothering than males,"says Wrangham.
Consistent with reported cultural traditions among adult chimps,Kanyawara youngsters learned from each other to p lay with sticks as if caring for babies.Stick play among young chimps showed no evidence of being directly influenced by older chimps.Child-bearing females never played with sticks and thus didn't model such behavior for younger chimps.
Young females carried sticks for anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.They often rested in nests with their sticks,sometimes playing with them much as chimp mothe rs play with their babies though they didn't get any form of teaching from the adults.

32.What does a stick seem like to a young female chimp who plays with it?C
A.A doll.B.A mother.C.A baby.D.A toy.
33.We can see from the text that young female chimpsD.
A.often carry sticks with males      B.always carry sticks with males
C.never use sticks in fighting        D.seldom use sticks in fighting
34.From whom do the young chimps pick up the stick play behavior?A
A.From each other.    B.From older chimps.
C.From their mothers.D.From male chimps.
35.What does the text mainly tell us about young chimps'stick play?B
A.The types of stick play and social influence.
B.The sex differences and social influence.
C.The sex differences and age differences.
D.The ways of stick play and age differences.
