Gorillas are born with an international sign language of gestures that they use to communicate,says a new study from the University of St Andrews in Scotland.
From beating their chests to putting objects on their heads,shaking their arms,and even bouncing on all fours,the animals use more than 100 gestures to communicate with each other
Professor Richard Byrne,a psychiatrist involved in the research,says it was hard to figure out the meanings of the gestures.
“We don't really know what the animals are thinking. Often the gestures have more than one meaning,depending on the context,”says Byrne.
The study showed that the gorillas did not learn the ges­tures from each other,as had been expected,but performed them instinctively (本能地).
“Everyone had assumed different groups of gorillas would learn different gestures,”he says. “But that's not what we found. The more sites we went to ,the more we saw the same gestures being used. They seem to be naturally equipped with a pretty complex system of communication.”
The study also found that gestures were performed with close attention to the potential audience,so that silent sig­nals,for example, were only given when other apes could see them. Other gestures,such as the "disco arm shake" were only ever seen directed towards humans.
Byrne believes that the findings may explain how the human language developed.
“There has always been speculation(猜測)that the origins of the human language might lie in gestures,”he says.
“Many researchers have therefore studied the gestural communication of the great apes for clues to the evolution­ary origins of human gestures,”he adds.
Several studies have shown that great apes are capable of imitating gestures. However,the scientists found that what appeared to be copies of human actions were actually gestures the apes were already able to make themselves. They're “reusing” gestures from their own repertoire,not learning new ones.
64.According to the passage,Richard Byrne's research has found      .
A. different groups of gorillas would learn different gestures
B. gorillas know the sign language from birth
C. how gorillas learn from each other
D. gorillas develop a variety of languages when growing up
65.Why can't the researchers really know the meanings of gorilla gestures?
A. Because gorillas possess the ability of making many kinds of gestures.
B. Because they haven't made deep research into the animal.
C. Because a gorilla gesture may have different meanings.
D. Because gorillas can't exactly express their thoughts.
66.If a gorilla wants to make a silent gesture towards another gorilla,he      .
A. needs to know how many other gorillas are watching him
B. needs to make noise first in order to draw attention
C. will first make sure his gesture can be seen

閱讀理解。
根據短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
     Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs, but as we climbed the steps of
evolution with giant leaps, we somehow left behind common. sense and logical thinking-we forgot that we
have stopped thinking ahead of times.
     If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that?  1   But
it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your favorite star and many such absurd
things. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we
all sometimes think " What happens next?" " Why can't I think?". Well this is the aftermath of using our brain
for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
      Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. Now why reading and not
watching TV?    2    Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to take advantage of reading.
You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions.    3    
Now this seed is un- knowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed if used many
times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought of in your wildest
dreams! This is nothing other than creativity. The larger number of books you read, your mind will open up
like never before. Also this improves your speaking skills to a large extent and also makes a sig nificant
contribution to your vocabulary in writing.    4    
     Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly.    5   So
guys do join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you
waiting for?
A. Soon you will find no difficulty employing the right words when speaking.
B. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.
C. I am still on the path of improvement to satisfy my thirst.
D. Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry.
E. Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood.
F. Within no time you never seem to run out of the right words at the right time.
G. Because watching TV too often will make you a" couch potato".
