People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics£¨Ê§ÓïÖ¢»¼Õߣ©.Such patients can be extremely good at something else.From the changing expressions on speakers' faces and the tones of their voices,they can tell lies from truths.

Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics.Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.

Recently,scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true.They studied a mixed group of people.Some were normal;others were aphasics.It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches¡ªin most cases,the normal people were fooled by words,but the aphasics were not.

Some years ago,Dr.Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics.He mentioned a particular case in a hospital.Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.Since the president had been an actor earlier,making a good speech was no problem for him.He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.

But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients.They didn't seem to believe him.Instead,they burst into laughter.The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying.He was lying!

Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words.However,according to Dr.Sacks,they are more gifted than normal people.Normal people may get carried away by words.Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better,though they cannot understand words.

A. They can fool other people.

B. They can tell whether people are lying.

C. They can understand language better.

D. They can find out the hidden drugs.

2.How did the scientists study aphasics?

A. By asking them to watch TV together.

B. By organizing them into acting groups.

C. By comparing them with normal people.

D. By giving them chances to speak on TV.

3.What do we learn from this text?

A. What ones says reflects how one feels.

The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was enlisted in the World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands and mountains, stretching about 6,700 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of more than 2,000 years, some parts of the Great Wall are now in ruins or even entirely disappeared. However, it is still one of the most appealing attractions around the world.

No one can tell for sure when the building of the Great Wall was started, but it is popularly believed that it originated as a military fortification(ÒªÈû) against intrusion by tribes on the borders during the earlier Zhou Dynasty. Late in the Spring and Autumn Period, some states extended the defence work to prevent the attacks from other states.

It was not until the Qin Dynasty that the separate walls were connected to form a defensive system by Emperor Qin Shi Huang. After the emperor unified the country in 214 BC, he ordered the construction of the wall. It took about ten years to finish and the wall stretched from Gansu Province to Jilin Province. The wall not only served as a defence in the north but also symbolized the power of the emperor.

Further construction also experienced several dynasties. The present Great Wall in Beijing is mainly remains from the Ming Dynasty. Today, the Great Wall has become a must-see for every visitor to China. Few can help saying ¡°Wow¡± when they stand on top of a beacon tower and look at this giant dragon. It has become a national pride of Chinese people.

Everyone knows that if a dog¡¯s ears are up and its tail is wagging energetically, it is definitely pleased to see you. but now scientists using a robot have found that the way dogs use their tails is more complicated th an we thought, and that dogs which wag them to the left may he more friendly. The animal psychologists discovered that when real dogs approached a life-sized robot dog, they were less cautious about it when it was wagging its tail to the left, while if it was wagging its tail to the right, far fewer dogs approached it in a confident manner.

In the first experiments, 56 percent of the animals approached the model without hesitation when the tail was wagged to the left, while only 21 percent did so in the other situation. When the researchers excluded(Åųý)owners from being present, the result were: 31 percent of the dogs

approached continuously when the tail was wagging to the left, while only 18 percent did so when it was on the right.

Animal psychologist Roger Mugford said it added to the growing evidence that does were even more complicated comm unicators than the animals more closely related to man such as monkeys. He said, ¡°We know that dogs, in a sense, have languages, but it is more complicated because it is not just them wagging their tails, but also giving out chemical displays.¡±

He adds, ¡°The research confirms earlier studies suggesting that dogs, like humans, had a left-side preference. If you are going to present a signal to a dog, it is sensible to put it on your left-hand side because that is where dogs, unlike most other animals, tend to look. It is another example of the similarity betwe en dogs and humans. They are a lot more human than we give them credit for.¡±

1.What does it tell us if a dog wags its tail to the right?

A. It was very energetic B. It was in a bad mood

C. It might be unfriendly D. It must be confident

2.What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A. Some dogs approach the robot dog confidently

B. Most dogs were afraid to approach the robot dog

C. Some dogs lack confidence with their owners present

D. Dog owners may influence the behaviour of their pets

3.What can we learn from animal psychologist¡¯s experiments?

A. Dogs can communicate more than human beings

B. Dogs have more complicated emotions than monkeys

C. Dogs¡¯ tail-wagging conveys more information than previously believed

D. Dogs¡¯ intelligence can be much higher than any other kind of animal

4.What can we infer from Roger Mugfords words?

A. The Left-side preference should be studied further

B. Dogs have more in common with humans than we think

C. No other animals show the left-side preference except dogs

D. Dogs have a more complicated language than we people do
