As an animal doctor and someone who has spent three decades on biomedical research, I know that animal res earch saves lives. I am concerned about deceptive claims from animal rights activists about the need for animal research. As we know, animal studies continue to be necessary for advancing human and animal health and have played avital role in every major medical advance. This includes lifesaving drugs vaccines ( 疫苗 ),new surgical procedures, and improved diagnosis of disease. Animal activists try to deceive people and count on socie ety's general lack of scientific insight to advance their a genda . These activists misrepresent the ability of comp uters and emerging scientific techniques to serve as su # # bst it ute s for animal studies. Government regulations an ound the world require that new drugs,vaccines, and surigical implants first be tested in animals for potential re actions to poisonous substances. 1. Why is the author concerned about claims from animal rights activists ?A The claims will arrest the development of animal research.B The claims will make the public believe something untrue.C Medical advancement will slow down. D Animal rights activists will play an important.

Do you chat with your dog and tell your cat secrets？Some of you doubt that it might be meaningless，while others hope that your pet understands.But what，and how much，do animals understand？For example，you know that animals are capable of experiencing pleasure，but do they experience humor？Do dogs or cats or any animal laugh in the same way that we laugh？ The reasons why human beings develop laughter are mysterious.Every human on the planet，despite the language they speak，does it.It's something we develop before we can speak.So，while we don't know why we do it，we do know we do it.But do animals laugh？ Monkeys vocalize enjoyment during chasing games or when they are being tickled（挠痒）.Interestingly the apes that are more closely related to us，display delighted sounds most similar to human laughter.The fact suggests that laughter exists before any sort of speech.It's reported that Koko，the famous gorilla（黑猩猩） that used sign language，once tied her keeper's shoelaces together and then signed "chase me"showing her ability to make jokes. But what about birds？Some clever birds have been seen to copy laughter and even make fun of other animals.It's reported that one bird whistled and confused the family dog for joy.Crows（乌鸦） can use tools to locate food and pull the tails of predators（捕食性动物） to trick them while stealing food.But when there's no food，it suggests the bird does it just for fun.So it's possible that some birds have a sense of humor，and may even laugh，but we haven't been able to identify it yet. So how about the pets in our homes？Are they capable of laughing at us？There is evidence suggesting that dogs have developed a kind of laugh when they are enjoying themselves.Cats，on the other hand，were thought to show no emotions at all.You can be comforted that your cat isn't laughing at you.（1）What can we learn about laughter？ ____ A.nimals are unable to laugh.B.It's developed before we can speak.C.Why people develop laughter is clear.D.Animals can understand why people laugh.（2）What does the underlined word"vocalize"mean in Paragraph 3？ ____ A.let out.B.put out.C.figure out.D.spread out.（3）What will crows do when stealing food？ ____ A.Laugh to please the predators.B.Whistle to confuse the predators.C.Pull the tails to cheat the predators.D.Use tools to threaten the predators.（4）What can be inferred from the text？ ____ A.Gorillas can use signs to make jokes.B.Crows can steal food to treat the predators.C.Dogs can copy laughter to make fun of cats.D.Monkeys can chase other animals to tickle them.

The psychology of innovationWhy are so few companies truly innovation? Innovation is key to business survival, and companies put substantial resources into inspiring employees to develop new ideas. There are, nevertheless, people working in luxurious, state-of-the-art centres designed to stimulate innovation who find that their environment doesn't make them feel at all creative. And there are those who don't have a budget, or much space, but who innovate successfully.For Robert B. Cialdini, Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University, one reason that companies don't succeed as often as they should is that innovation starts with recruitment. Research shows that the fit between an employee's values and a company's values makes a difference to what contribution they make and whether, two years after they join, they're still at the company.One of the most famous photographs in the story of rock'n' roll emphasizes Ciaidini's views. The 1956 picture of singers Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis jamming at a piano in Sun Studios in Memphis tells a hidden story. Sun's 'million-dollar quartet' could have been a quintet. Missing from the picture is Roy Orbison, a greater natural singer than Lewis, Perkins or Cash. Sam Phillips, who owned Sun, wanted to revolutionize popular music with songs that fused black and white music, and country and blues. Presley, Cash, Perkins and Lewis instinctively understood Phillips' ambition and believed in it. Orbison wasn't inspired by the goal, and only ever achieved one hit with the Sun label.Managing innovation is a delicate art. It's easy for a company to be pulled in conflicting directions as the marketing, product development, and finance departments each get different feedback from different sets of people. And without a system which ensured collaborative exchanges within the company, it's also easy for small 'pockets of innovation' to disappear. Innovation is a contact sport. You can't brief people just by saying, "We're going in this direction and I'm going to take you with me."Cialdini believes that this 'follow-the-leader syndrome is dangerous, not least because it encouraged bosses to go it alone. 'It's been scientifically proven that three people will be better than one at solving problems, even if that one person is the smartest person in the field.'To prove his point, Cialdini cites an interview with molecular biologist James Watson. Watson, together with Francis Crick, discovered the structure of DNA, the genetic information carrier of all living organisms. 'When asked how they had cracked the code ahead of an array of highly accomplished rival investigators, he said something that stunned me. He said he and Crick had succeeded because they were aware that they weren't the most intelligent of the scientists pursuing the answer. The smartest scientist was called Rosalind Franklin who, Watson said, "was so intelligent she rarely sought advice"'Writing, visualizing and prototyping can stimulate the flow of new ideas. Cialdini cite scores of research papers and historical events that prove that even something as simple as writing deepens every individual's engagement in the project. It is, he says, the reason why all those competitions on breakfast cereal packets encouraged us to write in saying, in no more than 10 words: "I like Kellogg's Com Flakes because…" The very act of writing makes us more likely to believe it.Authority doesn't have to inhibit innovation but it often does. Many theorists believe the ideal boss should lead from behind, taking pride in collective accomplishment and giving credit where it is due. Cialdini says: "Leaders should encourage everyone to contribute and simultaneously assure all concerned that every recommendation is important to making the right decision and will be given full attention." The frustrating thing about innovation is that there are many approaches, but no magic formula. However, a manager who wants to create a truly innovative culture can make their job a lot easier by recognizing these psychological realities.The example of the 'million-dollar quartet' underlines the writer's point about.A.recognizing talent.B.working as a team.C.having a shared objective.D.being an effective leader.James Watson suggests that he and Franc is Crick won the race to discover the DNA code because they.A.were conscious of their own limitations.B.brought complementary skills to their partnership.C.were determined to outperform their brighter rivals.D.encouraged each other to realize their joint ambition.The writer mentions competitions on breakfast cereal packets as an example of how to.A.inspire creative thinking.B.generate concise writing.C.promote loyalty to a group.D.strengthen commitment to an idea.In the last paragraph, the writer suggests that it is important for employees to.A.be aware of their company's goals.B.feel that their contributions are valued.C.have respect for their co-workers' achievements.D.understand why certain management decisions are made..
