The function, however, took on meaning and became a form of munication which signals anger.The same may be true for the animals. Baby monkeys cry for attention. They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned (断奶) by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,” says Anne Pusey, a professor at the University of Minnesota. “They whimper (呜咽) and cry and scream. When we hear these calls, the emotion involved seems obvious. However, they do not weep in the sense of producing tears. I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”Babies of many mammalian species, including rats, cry. Moreover, when a baby rat cries, often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest. This is probably a straightforward munication, as it is with humans. However, psychologists at the University of Iowa arent convinced.The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases andthen increases in blood flow. The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold. Thus, they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze. Of course the rat baby could be crying because hes cold and wants his mother to know. “All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,” says Jaak Panksepp, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University. “If youre willing to call this crying, then certainly other animals show this emotional response.” he says, “ Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”28. According to the first paragraph, what kind of emotion does “exposing the teeth” express?A. Disappointment. B. Excitement. C. Anger. D. Happiness.29. Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?A. They meet their brother.B. They have nothing to eat.C. They are being breast-fed.D. They are parted from their mother.30. Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans sneeze?A. Their blood flow is decreased.B. They feel cold and long for affection.C. Their blood flow is increased.D. Their mother brings them back home.31. Where is the passage most likely taken from? A. An animal journal.B. A physiology book. C. A health magazine.D. A cultural newspaper.DMost people who own iPhones use them as their alarm clocksmaking it very easy to check emails one last time before falling asleep and hard to ever feel away from work and social networks. Several years ago, my boss fainted due to exhaustion after staying up late to catch up on work. She banged her head and ended up with five stitches (缝针)and became what she calls a “sleep evangelist (传教士).” Now she leaves her phone charging in another room when she goes to bed and encourages her friends to do the same.“I sent all my friends the same Christmas gifta lovely alarm clockso they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by their beds to wake them up in the morning.” she said.If your phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A xx study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less time in deep sleep. “The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, ponents of sleep believed to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are severely affected,” the study concluded.A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study that linked heavy cellphone use to sleeping problems, stress and depression. Unreturned messages carry more guilt when the technology to deal with them lies at our fingertips. Some teens even return text messages at midnight.Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach, according to a xx Time poll. That number falls off slightly in middle age, but only people aged 65 and older are leaving the phone in another room as mon as sleeping right next to it.32.

What can we learn from the xx study? A. Mobile radiation makes people unable to fall asleep. B. Mobile phones can release 884 MHz wired signals. C. Sleep can help people fight against radiation. D. ponents of sleep can be seriously affected by wireless signals.35. What is the best title for the passage? A. How Mobile Phones Affect Sleep B. Why Alarm Clocks Are Better than Phones C.
