2．Some animals can be trained to help humans．For example，specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely．Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too．（36）FThe monkeys pick up the phone when it rings，carry shopping bags and do housework．
In the wild，animals and humans are not usually friends．（37）GIn Africa，the honey guide bird works with humans to find food．The bird likes to eat grubs（幼虫）-a type of insect that lives inside a beehive（蜂巢）．It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs．People like to eat honey，but they aren't very good at finding beehives．（38）AThe bird flies to a beehive and people follow it．When the people open the beehive and take the honey，they give the grubs to the bird．
In Laguna in the south of Brazil，fishermen and dolphins work as a team．The ocean isn't very clean，so the fishermen can't see the fish．（39）C When the dolphins find a large group of fish，they make a noise to tell the fishermen．Then the dolphins push the fish to the beach．The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets．The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too．In Laguna，fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years．（40）E Meanwhile，the dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!

A．So the bird and the people help each other．
B．They attack each other for food or something else．
C．However，dolphins can find them easily by using sounds．
D．In fact，they usually help to get enough food for their babies．
E．The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins．

1．Doctors say obesity，also known as severe overweight，is a complex condition．A doctor may advise medical interventions（医疗干预） in addition to changes in behavior．But experts say the more successful weightloss plans include a wellbalanced diet and exercise．
People who want to avoid weight gain have to balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories they use．To lose weight，you can reduce the number of calories you take in，or increase the number you use，or both．Experts at the National Institutes of Health say，to lose weight，a person should do some moderate or intensive physical exercise most days of the week．This could include fast walking，sports or strength training．
Arecent study looked at four of the most popular dieting plans in the United States．Researchers at Stanford University studied more than three hundred overweight women，mostly in their thirties or forties．Each woman went on one of the four plans：Atkins，The Zone，Ornish or LEARN．The women attended diet classes and received written information about the food plans．At the end of a year，the women on the Atkins diet had lost the most，more than four and a half kilograms on average．
Christopher Gardner led the study，reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association．He said the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message to lower the intake of sugar．Also，he said the advice to increase protein in the diet leads to more satisfying meals．
But last week，another report suggested that only a small minority of people have longterm success in dieting．Researchers at the University of California found that most dieters regained their lost weight within five years．And often they gained back even more．But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones who exercised．

20．Dear Alcohol，
You've been around forever．I can remember all the pain you've caused for me．
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．
Do you remember the night of my first high school party？You were there．My friends were intrigued by you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen copletely．"I'm so embarrassed，"they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit．"I'm sorry，"they said when I called taxis for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance．"This won't happen again，"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped．Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you．
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all．She never saw him again．And it's all your fault．
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring （引诱） in the people I love．Stop hurting me，please．
Sincerely，
Anonymous

I was very sensitive to music and even when I dipped into music books briefly，I could sing or play good．To be honesty，I always dreamed of becoming a famous folk actor．I was such confident that I never decreasd my devotion．I formed my first band calling"Rolling Frog"．At the beginning，we relied on performing on instruments in pubs or to passers-by，and then we wear false beards to pretend to be the musicians with who people were familiar．In an addition，we added humorous acts our performances and played jokes on each other．Soon，our"funny jazz"became famous and afterwards，we made a record in a studio．A million or so copy were sold，but which was painful was that the band broke up finally．

15．Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity （名人） chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver，according to a report from Oxford University．
The effect of the celebrity role models，who have given cooking a more manly picture，has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961．
According to the research by Prof．Jonatahn Gershuny，who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford，men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking，up from just 12minutes a day in 1961．
Prof．Gershuny said，"The man in the kitchen is partof a much wider social trend．There has been 40years of sexual equality，but there is another 40years probably to come．"
Women，who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking，now spend just one hour and seven minutes-a great fall，but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men．
Some experts have named these men in aprons as"Gastrosexuals （men using cooking skills to impress friends）"，who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay，Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall，Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd．
"I was married in 1974．When my father came to visit me a few weeks later，I was wearing an apron when I opened the door．He laughed，"said Prof．Gershuny．"That would never happen now．"
Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week，even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table．Prof．Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table-with many"family meals"in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room，and shared by family members．"The family meal has changed a lot，and few of us eat-as I did when I was a child-at least two meals a day together as a family．But it has survived in a different format．
24"What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before？A
A．The development of sexual equality campaign．
B．The influence of popular female ches．
C．The change of female's view on cooking．
D．The improvement of cooks'status．
25．What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking？C
A．Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays．
B．It will take 40years before men spend more time at the stove than women．
C．Women spend much less time on cooking than before．
D．There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961．
26．How did Prof．Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage？B
A．It has become a thing of the past．
B．It is very different from what it used to be．
C．It shouldn't be advocated in modern times．
D．It is beneficial to the stability of the family．
27．Which is the best title for the passage？D

B．Equality between Men and Women
C．Cooking-a Thing of the Past for Women
D．Cooking into a New Trend for Men．
