6．Chimps（黑猩猩） will cooperate in certain ways，like gathering in war parties to protect their territory．But beyond the minimum requirements as social beings，they have little instinct （本能） to help one another．Chimps in the wild seek food for themselves．Even chimp mothers regularly decline to share food with their children，who are able from a young age to gather their own food．
In the laboratory，chimps don't naturally share food either．If a chimp is put in a cage where he can pull in one plate of food for himself or，with no great effort，a plate that also provides food for a neighbor to the next cage，he will pull at random---he just doesn't care whether his neighbor gets fed or not．Chimps are truly selfish．
Human children，on the other hand are extremely cooperative．From the earliest ages，they decide to help others，to share information and to participate in achieving common goals．The psychologist Michael Tomasello has studied this cooperativeness in a series of experiments with very young children．He finds that if babies aged 18 months see an worried adult with hands full trying to open a door，almost all will immediately try to help．
There are several reasons to believe that the urges to help，inform and share are not taught，but naturally possessed in young children．One is that these instincts appear at a very young age before most parents have started to train children to behave socially．Another is that the helping behaviors are not improved if the children are rewarded．A third reason is that social intelligence develops in children before their general cognitive（认知的）skills，at least when compared with chimps．In tests c onducted by Tomasello，the children did no better than the chimps on the physical world tests，but were considerably better at understanding the social world．
The core of what children's minds have and chimps'don't is what Tomasello calls shared
intentionality．Part of this ability is that they can infer what others know or are thinking．But beyond that，even very young children want to be part of a shared purpose．They actively seek to be part of a"we"，a group that intends to work toward a shared goal．
58．What can we learn from the experiment with chimps？C
A．Chimps like to take in their neighbors'food．
B．Chimps tend to provide food for their children．
C．Chimps seldom care about others'interests．
D．Chimps naturally share food with each other．
59．Michael Tomasello's tests on young children indicate that theyD．
A．know how to offer help to adults
B．know the world better than chimps
C．trust adults with their hands full
D．have the instinct to help others
60．The passage is mainly aboutA．
A．cooperation as a distinctive human nature
B．the development of intelligence in children
C．the helping behaviors of young children
D．ways to train children's shared intentionality．

It was 7：15in the morning of February 8，2007．I was walking along Park Road towards the east while an old man came out of the park on the other sides of the street．Then I saw a yellow car drive up the Third Street and makes a right turn into Park Road．The next moment the car hit the man while she was crossing the road．He fell with a cry．The car didn't stop and drive off at full speed heading west．I noticed the driver was young woman wore a pair of glasses and the plate number was AC864．After two minutes later，I stopped a passed car and took the old man to the nearest hospital．

17．A recent study，which was published in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association，offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver．Indeed，a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident，compared with a teenager driving alone．
The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10p．m．，and especially after midnight．With passengers in the car，the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident．
Robert Foss，a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center，says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with"really stupid behavior"than with just a lack of driving experience．"The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is．"he says．
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate （使缓解） the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems，in which getting a license is a process with several stages．A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence（在场）of an adult，followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions （限制） before graduating to full driving rights．
Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes，according to recent studies．
33．Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage？B
A．Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10p．m．
B．A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car．
C．Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night．
D．A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight．
34．According to Robert Foss，the high death rate of teenage drvers is mainly due toA．
A．their lack of driving experience
B．their frequent driving at night
C．their wrong way of driving
D．their driving with passengers
35．A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers'driving accidents is thatA．
A．the licensing system should be improved
B．they should be forbidden to take on passengers
