Honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways
Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees (黑猩猩), behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends (假装) to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, hides its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others hide their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, dig the food, and hide it again somewhere else.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too.When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.
As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can’t trust her, either.
1.A plover protects its young from a predator by _______________.
A. getting closer to its young B. driving away the adult predator
C. leaving its young in another nest D. pretending to be injured
2. By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky", the writer means _______________.
A. chimps are ready to attack others B. chimps are sometimes dishonest

3. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. All the animals survive by fooling other animals.
B. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.
C. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.
D. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.
4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A. Do animals lie B. Does Mother Nature fool animals
C. How do animals learn to lie D. How does honesty help animals survive

Four beggars usually met at an old shack (小窝棚) at the end of the day. One day, they were very angry because none of them had got much in their begging bowls.
“I only got this piece of meat today,” the first said. “I hardly got anything,” the second said. “I just picked up these few vegetables outside the fruit and vegetable store.” The third complained that all he had been given was a handful of herbs(香草) that he couldn’t eat on his own. The fourth beggar had not done much better. “I only got the handful of old, dried beans, but they aren’t very nice!”
As they sat around the fire, one of them had a great idea. “Let’s put all that we had together and boil them. In this way, we can make a tasty dish and share it.” They all agreed.
However, the first beggar thought, “I don’t want to share. I’ll just pretend (假装) to throw my meat into the pot. They’ll never know and I’ll eat my meat later.” So he pretended to put the meat into the pot. Now the same idea had also hit the other beggars and the shack was so dark that no one could see what the others were doing.

When my dad was a little child during World War II in Germany, a picture of a guarding angel hung over his bed. He had lost both his parents by the time he was only 20 years old, but he still had this picture, which by then was in bad condition.

五、任务型阅读 请根据短文内容,完成信息记录表,每空一词。
Many scientists are interested in the heat that comes from deep in the earth. People can use this underground heat to make a type of energy called geothermal energy (地热能). We need energy to light our homes, to cook and so on. We already get clean energy from the sun and the wind. But scientists think that geothermal energy will give even more people clean energy in the future.
In the Amazon (亚马逊) of Peru(秘鲁), there is a very unusual heat source. It’s called the Boiling River. For years, people told stories about a river that boiled. The river killed anything that fell into it. But did it really exist
A young scientist, Andres Ruzo, travelled into the Amazon and found the river. Its water is very hot. A cup of very hot coffee is about 60℃(140F). Andres measured water temperatures up to 99℃ (210F). That’s really hot! Most animals that fall into the river can’t be alive. It’s very dangerous. But scientists study the river to have a better understanding of geothermal energy. They don’t get energy from the river. It’s protected. Scientists and local people also work to protect other parts of the Amazon. They don’t allow people to cut down trees and destroy the rain forest, just to make money. The Amazon is too important for the people who live there, and also for people who want to better understand our world.
