The two books are introduced in the passage to stress _.A. the problems with higher educationB. the necessity of higher education reformC. the situation of the present higher educationD. the popularity of the two newly released booksCAs PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable, watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they werent siblings（兄弟姐妹）. Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each others babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animals chances of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the world.Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2020 and 2020, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions arent known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mothers pouch. Following out-of-pouch forays, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisendens team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff test, allowing a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mothers odor, making them smell confusingly like her own progeny. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause of “accidental” adoption.Some of natures adoptions are, actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isnt up to scratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. Thats similar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be dire. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.62. It can be inferred from the passage that Wisendens findings are .A. too weird to be witnessed B. out of his own expectationsC. envied by his peer co-researchers D. a sound proof of his research object63. Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?A. Baby animals looking for better parenting.B. Parents failure to recognize their own babies.C. Selfless adoption commonly seen in animal world.D. Parents, inability to provide enough food.64. The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph means .A. weak and easily attacked B. naughty and easily hurtC. independent and well-fed D. fragile and poorly raised65. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The benefits for baby animals. B. The benefits for adopters.C. The consequences of adoption. D. The consequences of wrong identity.DAt 88, I remain a competitive runner. The finish line of my life is drawing close, and I hope to reach it having given the best of myself along the way. Ive been training my body to meet the demands of this final stretch. But, I wonder, should I have asked more of my mind?If I didnt exercise, I would release the hungry beasts that seek their elderly prey on couches, but not in the gym. The more I sweated, the more likely it was my doctor would continue to say, “Keep doing what youre doing, and Ill see you next year.” My mind, on the other hand, seems less willing to give in to discipline. I have tried internet “brain games”, solving algebraic problems flashing past and changing the route of virtual trains to avoid crashes. But these never approach my determination to remain physically fit as I move deeper into old age.Despite having many friends in their 70s, 80s and 90s, Ive been far too slow to realize that how we respond to aging is a choice made in the mind, not in the gym. Some of my healthiest friends carry themselves as victims abused by time. Other friends, many whose aching knees and hips are the least of their physical problems, find comfort in their ability to accept old age as just another stage of life to deal with. I would use the word “heroic” to describe the way they cope with aging.One such friend recently called from a hospital to tell me a sudden brain disease had made him legally blind. He interrupted me as I began telling him how terribly sorry I was, “Bob, it could have been worse. I could have become deaf instead of blind.”Despite all the time I spend lifting weights and exercising, I realized I lack the strength to have said those words. It suddenly struck me Ive paid a price for being a “gym rat.” If there is one characteristic common to friends who are aging with a graceful acceptance of lifes attacks, it is contentment. Aging had to be more than what I saw in a mirror.
