Have you ever thought of why dogs are human's best friend？What's the bond（紧密关系）between Human and a dog？A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seem to have found the answer，and it has to do with something named the cuddle（拥抱）chemical．
The cuddle chemical has another，more scientific name：oxytocin（催产素）．Oxytocin is something in the blood that encourages bonding．Levels of oxytocin increase，for example，when a mother feeds her newborn baby．According to Nagasawa's study，levels of oxytocin can also go up when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog．
Humans and dogs have been working together for nearly 30，000years．In order to better understand how the cuddle chemical worked between dogs and humans，Nagasawa and his team did an experiment．They tested levels of oxytocin in dogs and humans，and then put them in a room to interact（交流）with each other．While in the room，the humans pet the dogs，spoke to the dogs，and looked into the dogs'eyes．Then the scientists tested their levels of oxytocin again．
The researchers found that levels of oxytocin were higher in both humans and dogs after they interacted．However，levels were the highest in the humans and dogs that simply looked into each other's eyes，without much petting or talking．The longer the humans looked into the eyes of the dogs，the more cuddle chemical let out．Nagasawa did the same experiment with humans and wolves（狼），but it did not give the same results．

55．What can we infer（推断）from the last sentence of the text？D
A．More experiments are expected to help wolves produce oxytocin．
B．The cuddle chemical in human blood protects us against wolves．
C．It makes sense that humans and wolves are naturally best friends．
D．It's generally impossible to have the bond between humans and wolves．

5．-Who is girl in front of the library？
-The one with umbrella？She is our monitor．（　　）

The eagle has the longest life of its group．It can reach up to
70years．But to reach this age，the eagle must make a hard and
painful decision．
When an eagle reaches near 40，its short sharp beak becomes
bent（弯曲的）．Its long and once flexible（灵活的） talons
can no longer catch animals or birds for food．And its old and
heavy wings with thick feathers on its body make it difficult to fly．
Then，the eagle has only two choices：to die or to go through a
painful time of change which needs five months．
When the eagle feels weak and is about to die，it goes to a
place far away on the top of a mountain and sits on a nest．For a new life，the eagle knocks its beak against a rock until it pulls its beak out．After pulling it out，the eagle waits for a new beak to grow．And then it pulls out its talons and old feathers．It takes the eagle five months to complete its change and get a new life．We can call it its rebirth．So it can live for 30more years．
Like the ea gle，we human beings sometimes need to make some change to get out of our difficulty．In miserable condition，we have to change our ways of life．The changing may be very painful．But sometimes we have to throw off our old habits，memories and traditions．We can't go on with all our past burdens（重负）．
