the sea in the middle of the dark Antarctic water.They choose their wives in the dark.They can only hear themnot see them.Then the female penguins lay their eggs and go away for about two months.The males take care of the eggs.If the eggs get cold，there will be no chicks.There is no food.The snow falls heavily and the wind blows stronglysometimes at 150 kilometers an hour.The penguins do not

dementia (痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones(荷尔蒙)，U.S.researchers reported on Thursday.Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no baby，and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimers (早老性痴呆症)University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy are protecting the brain，including estrogen (雌激素)，which we know has many neuroprotective effects，” Kinsley said.“Its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals，” he added in a telephone interview.“They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimers and other forms of agerelated brain decline.“When people think about pregnancy，they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down，” said Kinsley，who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando，Florida.“They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain.If you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy，they act differently toward young.But if she goes through pregnancy，she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterations to the brain.”60How do scientists know “Motherhood may make women smarter”？ASome researchers have told them.BMany women say so.CThey know it by experimenting on rats.DThey know it through their own experience.61What does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the

They want you to give a loud “burp” after you finish eating.Burping would show that you liked your food.In some countries，if you give a loud burp，you are told to say “Excuse me，please.”In many places people like to eat together.But in some parts of Polynesia it is a bad manner to be seen eating together.People show good manners by turning their backs on others when they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you.They are being polite.You may see a friend.He may not see you at all.If you are polite，you will sit down beside him.You will wait until he finishes what he is doing.Then he will talk to you.Suppose you visit a friend in Arabia.You should walk behind the other tents until you e to his tent.If you pass in front of the other tents，you will be asked into each one.The people will ask you to eat with them.And it is bad manners if you say no.Manners are different all over the world.But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way.People needed ways to show that they wanted to be friends.68People turn their backs on others when they eat in _.AMongoliaBan East African townCsome parts of PolynesiaDArabia69In an East African town，the people try not to see you.This is because _.Athey are busy doing thingsBthey dont want to talk with youCit is good mannersDthey are waiting for you to talk with them70Which of the following statements is TRUE?AIn Mongolia，you should say “excuse me” when you give a burp after dinner.BChildren with good manners are quiet.CYou should not walk behind the tents in Arabia.DManners are different all over the world.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How can we all get more laughter into our lives?
