In 1938, a fishing boat off the coast of Africa pulled up its nets. One net held a very strange fish, five feet long and bright blue. Strangest of all, it had fins(鳍) that looked like legs! In the nets, only this fish stayed alive for several hours. Before the fish began to rot(腐烂), a young woman made a drawing of it. She sent her drawing to a scientist on sea life, Professor J. B. Smith.
Upon seeing her drawing of the fish, Mr Smith couldn’t believe his eyes. Could it be true It just didn’t seem possible, but there it was. It could be only one thing, a coelacanth(腔棘鱼), a fish people believe having died out(灭绝) fifty million years ago. How could the fish be swimming about only a few days before
If we found one, there must be others. The professor put up posters offering a reward for catching such a fish. Other scientists laughed at Mr Smith. They thought the search was a waste of time. Years passed. It seemed the other scientists were right. But Mr Smith never gave up hope. One day, fourteen years later, the professor received a telegram. A fish had been caught that looked like the one in the poster. Would the scientist fly to the region and check the fish Mr Smith did.
With shaking fingers, the professor raised the cloth around the fish. It was exactly like the one in the young woman’s drawing. It was a coelacanth, a missing link(关联) with the past! After the discovery of the coelacanth, scientists began to wonder: Is it possible that an even stranger creature(生物) will someday be discovered

Ⅵ. 阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题
Now scientists have found that the dogs behave like their owners, too.
Scientists at Oxford University designed an experiment to test if the dogs have the ability to copy humans’ actions by using a simple wooden box. 10 owners showed their dogs how to open the wooden box. Sometimes they used their heads to push it and sometimes they used their hands.
10 dogs were divided into two groups—Group 1 and Group 2. In the first part of the test, Group 1 was rewarded(奖励) with a piece of meat for copying their owners’ actions. Group 2 was rewarded with food for not copying and using other ways. With each dog the experiment was repeated hundreds of times. Scientists recorded the time to see which group was the first to get 85% right. They found that Group 1 finished the task much sooner than Group 2.
In the second part of the test, all the dogs were only rewarded for copying the way that their owners used. Group 1 reached the 85% mark more quickly than Group 2.
Scientists said, “A dog’s behaviour is influenced much like that of a child; they look and learn similar behaviour. We hope that owners understand the importance of their actions and use this knowledge to set good examples and therefore have a good effect on the behaviour of their pets. ”
