Most people know the feeling when you walk into a lift (电梯) with other people. A study has found that where people stand is based on their social position on entering the lift.
??Rebekah Rousi, a PhD. student, did a study of lift behavior in two of the tallest office buildings in Adelaide, Australia. As part of her research,she took a total of 30 lift rides in the two buildings,and discovered there was a fixed order about where people chose to stand.
????In her research paper, she wrote that more senior men seemed to walk straight towards the back of the lift. She said, “In front of them were younger men, and in front of them were women of all ages.”She also noticed there was a difference in the direction where people look during the ride. “Men watched the monitors,looked in the side mirrors (in one building) to see themselves, and in the door mirrors (in the other building) to watch others. Women would watch the monitors and avoid looking into others’ eyes (unless in conversations) and the mirrors.?”
????Rebekah Rousi concluded that shyer people stand toward the front, where they can’t see other passengers, while fearless people stand in the back, where they have a good view of everyone else.

The United States has more tornadoes(龙卷风) than any other country in the world. In a normal year there are 800 to 1000 tornadoes. Most happen in the middle part of the country. Tornadoes form when warm and cool air meet. In the Midwest,the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico often meets the cold air from Canada.
???? The usual tornado season is March through May. Tornadoes form most often in the afternoon and early evening. There is often no warning of a tornado. People who live in the Midwest know the signs (征兆)of tornado activity. The sky becomes dark, often a greenish color. Dark clouds appear in the sky and there is often large hail(冰雹).Suddenly,there is a loud sound,like a train or a jet plane. Sometimes, two, three, five, ten or more tornadoes can form over a large area.
???? This type of tornado activity hit Oklahoma and Kansas in May 1999. The day was stormy,with heavy thunderstorms in the afternoon. As the storms continued, tornadoes began to form. Dozens of tornadoes hit towns and neighborhoods in Oklahoma, then in Kansas. Some stayed on the ground for several hours, destroying everything they touched. The tornadoes killed 43 people and injured 600 others. They destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. In some areas,not one home stood. In other areas,the tornadoes destroyed every home on the left side of the street, but didn’t touch any homes on the right side. The tornadoes lifted people and cars into the air and then threw them back down to earth. So it is important to know where to hide and how to protect yourself in the face of a tornado.

According to newresearch from the University ofCambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize humanfaces from photographs.
The farm animals, who are social and have large brainswere previously known to be able to recognize one another, aswell as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognizehuman faces from photos alone is novel.
The recent study, the results of which were published inthe journal Royal Society showed that the woolly creaturescould be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama andactress Emma Watson.
Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certainimages by being given food rewards. Later, they were able torecognize the image for which they had been rewarded. Thesheep could even recognize images of faces shown at anangle. though their ability to do so declined by about 15percent- the same rate at which a human's ability toperform the same task declines.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep willknow that they are intelligent, individual animals who areable to recognize their handlers,”said Professor JennyMorton, who led the Cambridge study.“We’ve shown withour study that sheep have advanced face-recognitionabilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important socialskills for human being. and some disorders of the brainincluding Huntington's disease, affect this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar insize and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means theycan be useful models to help us understand disorders of thebrain, such as Huntington's disease, which develops over a longtime and affects cognitive abilities. Our study gives us anotherway to monitor how these abilities change.”Morton said.
32. According to the new research, what's unusual aboutsheep?
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C They can recognize human faces fromphotograph.
D. They can tell animals from humans.
33. How did the researchers train the sheep?
A. By giving foodreward
B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys bytums
C By guiding them to follow their handlers
D By showing photos of famous people
34. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.
B The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent somedisorders of the brain.
C The sheep’s face-recognition ability says the same whenshownphotos at any angle.
D. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitiveability changes
35. What's the best title of the passage?
A.A Wonderful Scientist. B . How Sheep Recognize Each Other.
C. A New discovery about Sheep. D. The Life of Sheep.
