Two ways to store fish for future use are canning and freezing. Two other methods are drying and smoking. Today we have the first of the two reports describing, step by step, how to prepare dried fish. Begin with the fish that are just out of water. If the fish are small, leave their heads on. Cut off the heads if the fish are longer than twenty centimeters or weigh more than one hundred fifteen grams. Now clean the freshly caught fish. Cut off the scales and cut open the stomach. Remove everything inside. Then wash the fish in clean water and rub salt into them.Next, put the fish in a container with a solution of three hundred grams of salt and one liter of water. This will remove the blood from the meat. Keep the fish in the salt water for about thirty minutes. After that, wash them again in clean water.Next, put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water. The water should be salty enough so that the fish float to the top. If the fish sink to the bottom of the container, add more salt to the water.Cover the container with a clean piece of wood. Place a heavy stone on the wood to hold it down. Leave the fish there for about six hours.After that remove them from the salt water and place them on a clean surface. Cover the fish with a clean piece of white cloth and let them dry.Another method of preparing fish is called dry salting. Wooden boxes or baskets are used for drying salting. After cleaning the fish, put a few of them on the bottom of the box or basket. Cover them with salt, then put more fish on top. Cover them also with salt. Continuing putting fish and salt in the container until it is full.Do not use too much salt when using the dry salting method. You should use one part salt to three parts fish. For example, if you have three kilograms of fish, you should use one kilogram of salt.Remove the fish after a week or ten days. Wash them in a mixture of water or a small amount of salt and let them dry.We have talked a lot about salt. keep in mind that doctors advise people to limit the sodium (纳) in their diet. It can raise blood pressure, and some people have more of a reaction than others.62. Which is the correct order according to the first method ?1). Clean the fresh fish, cut off the scales, cut open the stomach and remove everything inside.2). Cover the container with a clean piece of wood and place a heavy stone on the wood.3). Put the fish in a container with salt water to remove the blood from the meat.4). Remove the fish from the salt water and place them on a clean surface.5). Put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water.6). Cover the fish with a clean piece of cloth and let them dry.A. 2) 1) 3) 4）5）6） B. 3) 1) 4) 2) 5) 6)C. 1) 3) 4) 2) 5) 6) D. 1) 3) 5) 2）4）6)63. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage ?A. All the heads of the fish which will be dried must be cut off.B. When drying fish, the less you use the salt, the better.C. While using the dry salting method, you should hold the fish with wooden boxes.D. While salting fish, firstly you should put all the cleaned fish at the bottom of a box.64. Which will be talked in the next paragraphy ?A. The bad effect upon peoples health when abusing salt in storing fish.B. Some tips about how to smoke fish.C. Some other ways about how to store fish.D. Some ways about how to cook the dried fish.65. We can read the passage in the _ part of a magazine.A. entertainment B. cooking C. science D. businessD In 1966，Allen and Beatrice Garden, two professors at the University of Nevada in Reno, had a bright idea.They were interested in the evolution of language and the language abilities of great apes (巨猿). Previous attempts to teach chimpanzees(黑猩猩) to talk had ended in failure and the matter was considered by most people to be closed. But the Gardens realized that speech and the language are not the same thing. Many deaf people, for example, are unable to speak but are perfectly able to municate by gestures that have all the features of spoken language. The Garders suspected that previous experiments had failed because chimpanzees are physically unable to speak. They therefore decided to try teaching a chimpanzee to sign in the way that deaf people do. And their chosen subject , a female chimpanzee named Washoe after the country in which the university is, proved to be a skillful pupil. Though there is still debate about whether what Washoelearned was really equal to human language, there is no doubt that she learned a lot of words. All of this, however, raises a second question. If Washoe can learn a plex vocabulary of gestures from people, do they have such vocabularies naturally ? To examine that possibility, Amy Pollick and Frans de Waal of Emory University have looked at gestures and expressions in chimpanzees, Signaling by facial and oral expressions is mon among primates (灵长目动物). Signaling by gestures is limited to great apes. The researchers supposed that the meaning of expressions has been fixed by evolution while the meaning of gestures is learnt. If that were true, particular sorts of facial and oral expressions would occur only in particular circumstances, and this would be the same across groups and even species. The same gestures, on the contrary, would be used in different circumstances.The researchers found exactly what they expected. Expressions almost always occurred in the same circumstances in different groups and different species. Gestures seemed to have pletely different meanings. Moreover, even within a single group,the meaning of a gesture could vary with circumstances.Its also worth remembering that gesture is still an essential part of human language, even for those with normal hearing. The old joke that the way to make an Italian speechless is to tie his hands together has much truth in it. Evolution does not e up with plex structures in a single leap. They are built up step by step. This study suggests that the step of speech may have been built on mental features that were acquired millions of years ago when the ancestors of apes and men began to wave meaningfully at each other.66. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A. chimpanzees have no sense of langu
