I’m a pig, and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters, and my wife, believe it or not, is a dragon! Do I live in a zoo? No, of course not! I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs(十二生肖). Depending on the year of your birth, each person has an animal for a sign. That’s why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you, like me, were born in the year of the pig, then you are brave, thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.

   Now let’s take a closer look at this interesting animal.

   Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago, and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don’t just use pigs for their meat — almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists’ brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax, rubber and plastics.

    Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film ‘Babe’ starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated (提名)for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer, Rob Shepherd, has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don’t just want to eat pigs, it seems!

    Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example, if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day, you can say “pigs might fly!” to him. Hungry? Well then, you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you? Well, you can say that they “saved your bacon”.

1. The writer wrote the first paragraph in a ______ tone.

  A. sad      B. confused        C. serious     D. humorous

2. We may know from the passage that ______.

  A. people in England like pigs more than other animals

  B. pigs are more useful than ordinary people imagine

  C. pigs are the first animals raised by man

  D. more people don’t want to eat pigs now

3.The underlined sentence “pigs might fly!” in the fifth paragraph means “______”.

  A. What you have just said is impossible

  B. Pigs are great animals

  C. I don’t understand your words

  D. I can’t agree with you more

4.Which diagram shows the structure(结构) of the passage?

         

     A         B        C          D

  Like most people, I’ve long understood that I’ll be judged by my occupation, that my profession is used by people to see how talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.

  Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suppose they’d never say or do to the people they know. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then called me back with his finger a minute later, saying angrily that he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.

  I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon(勤杂工) by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior(低等的)treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.

  Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked--- politely and formally.

  I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from a person in advertising department with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately clear. Perhaps it was because of money, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.

  It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry exists to meet others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.

  I’m now applying to graduate school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose job is to serve them.

  68. What makes the author disappointed?

  A. Professionals tend to look down upon workers.

  B. Talented people have to do the job waiting tables.

  C. One’s position is used to measure one’s intelligence.

  D. Occupation affects the way one is treated as a person.

  69. What does the author intend to say by the example in Paragraph 2?

  A. Waiting tables is a hard job.

  B. Some customers are difficult to deal with.

  C. The man making a phone call is absent-minded.

  D. Some customers show no respect to those who serve them.

  70. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?

  A. She felt it unfair to be treated as a servant.

  B. She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.

  C. She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.

  D. She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.

  71. The author says one day she’ll take her customers to dinner in order to _______.

  A. see what kind of person they are

  B. experience the feeling of being served

  C. share her working experience with her customers

  D. help them realize the difference between server and servant

Number  sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a   1  in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ,experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not  3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the  5  between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was  10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.

How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a  13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14  fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.
