【題目】 Few people refuse to look at pictures of cute animals. Take Sally chicken as an example. The chicken with a yellow body and a flat mouth always looks lovely, which makes it popular on the Internet. Seeing her cute picture cheers people up. But there's another advantage of cute animals.
New research has found that looking at pictures of cute animals can also help us concentrate(聚精會神)better.
The study comes from researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan. They invited 132 university students to take part in a series of experiments.
In one experiment, students played a game in which they had to pick up small objects from a hole without touching the sides. In another experiment, students were asked to find a given number from a list of numbers quickly.
In both experiments, they did the given tasks twice – before and after looking at pictures of either kittens (baby cats) and puppies (baby dogs), or adult cats and dogs.
Researchers were surprised to find that in both cases students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes.
But, baby animals look both "cuter" and "more pleasant" than adult animals. Some people may ask whether the test difference came from their being "pleasant"?
To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute, and gave them to a third group of students. But viewing the foods did not make the students do any better in the number test.
This finding shows that viewing cute pictures makes participants(參與者)behave more deliberately and do tasks with greater care.
The "power of cuteness" may be of great use in everyday life.
Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams.
"In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy with answering exam questions," Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.
【1】Why is Sally chicken mentioned at the beginning of the article?
A.Because the article is about Sally chicken.
B.Because Sally chicken is popular online.
C.To explain why Sally chicken is popular.
D.To introduce the topic of cute animals' advantage.
【2】What was the main finding of the study at Hiroshima University?
A.Seeing cute animals could cheer people up.
B.Seeing cute things could help people concentrate.
C.People concentrated better after seeing anything pleasant.
D.People did better after seeing pictures of adult cats and dogs.
【3】The underlined word "deliberately" is closest in meaning to________ .
A.happilyB.relaxedlyC.carefullyD.actively
【4】What do Martinez-Conde's words tell us?
A.It's improper to look at toys in an exam.
B.Cuteness can be very useful in daily life.
C.Toys are popular among high school students.
D.All Cute toys can help students get good scores.

【題目】閱讀下面短文,按要求完成后面各題。
There were three big fish in the lake. One of them, Demo, was wise; another one, Jimmy, was half-wise; Martin, the third one, was stupid.
One day, some fishermen came to the bank of the lake with their nets. The three fish saw them. Demo decided at once to leave, to make the long and difficult trip to the ocean. He thought, "I should make the long and difficult trip to the ocean at once, the danger will come, but the other two fish love this place so much that they call it home and will stay on. How silly they are! Their ignorance will make them lose their lives."
Seeing the wise fish had left, Jimmy thought, "My guide has gone and now I've lost my chance to escape." He felt sorry for it and then thought, "What can I do to save myself from these men and their nets? Perhaps I should pretend to be already dead." So he did that. He went up and down with the water, helpless.
"Look at this! The best and biggest fish is dead. "One of the men lifted him by the tail, and threw him up on the ground. He rolled over and over and moved secretly toward the water, and then, back in.
Now can you guess the end of the third stupid fish?
