You may have seen a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someone's home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some apes (猿猴) also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats (盲目模仿者).
Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika, a 10-year-old elephant, after sunset.
Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr. Poole says, "I could not tell the difference between Mlaika's call and the distant (远处的) truck noise." She and other scientists studied Mlaika's sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck.
"Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant," Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male (雄性的) African elephant. He spent 18 years with two female (雌性的) Asian elephants. Asian elephants make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with another. African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds. But Calimero now does. He is copying his Asian elephant friends. Dr. Poole says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends. She says, "They make sounds to communicate with each other. When they are separated, they use sounds to keep in touch.”
Parrots, dolphins, humans and elephants show that being copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
【1】According to the passage, what does Mlaika copy?
A.The sound of people. B.The sounds of trucks. C.The sounds of birds.
【2】Why is Calimero mentioned in the passage?
A.To show the cleverness of African elephants.
B.To introduce a special life skill of Asian elephants.
C.To add another example of copycat elephants.
【3】From Para 4, we can know________.
A.how Asian and African elephants are alike.
B.why the African elephant can make chirping sounds.
C.why the Asian elephants make noises after sunset.
【4】What does underlined word “bonds” mean?
A.发带 B.乐队 C.纽带
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Elephants are also copycats. B.What an elephant can do. C.The sounds of elephants.

Chinese people start to prepare for the Spring Festival more than 20 days ahead. The 12th lunar month in Chinese is called la yue, so the eighth day of this lunar month is la yue chu ba, or laba. The day is also known as the Laba Rice Porridge Festival. The Laba this year falls on Jan. 24. Two of the customs on Laba are remembering the ancestors and eating Laba rice porridge.
Remember the ancestors: At the end of the year, working people get more free time to prepare for the sacrifice (供奉) to the ancestors. The reason the 12th lunar month is called La Yue has a lot to do with the custom of sacrifice. First, the worship (崇敬) of ancestors, called “腊” in Chinese, and the sacrifice for the gods, called “蜡” both often took place in the 12th month, which led to the traditional name of the month: la yue. Second, winter is the relaxed season for farmers so they have time to find things to bum in the sacrifice.
Laba rice porridge: There are several stories about the start of porridge eating on Laba: Some say it is of Buddhist origin (佛教) ; some say the porridge, made of red beans, can keep children away from evil things; others say the porridge is in memory of a poor couple. The custom of porridge eating has been well-known throughout history. The most wonderful porridge was made in northern China, especially the capital of our country. The main ingredients of the Laba porridge are rice and sticky rice. People also add sugar, red dates, lotus seeds, walnuts and other different kinds of materials to make the porridge special.
【1】What do people usually do on Laba according to the passage?
【2】The eighth lunar month in Chinese isn't called la yue, is it?
【3】When is the Laba this year?
【4】What is called "腊" in Chinese?
【5】Where is the best porridge made?

Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans' education. 1. But how are these book-filled buildings changing with the times? You may be surprised to find out.
Benjamin Franklin famously founded America's first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s. Businessman Andrew Camegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, young and old. 2. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have chances to read.
If you can easily find a public library in your community, you'll get more opportunities. After all, the United States has 9,225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing and seven tenths of the them have free Internet. 3. It provides much more information and chances to ask for jobs online.
Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program "Read! Build! Play!" adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos (乐高积木) to build images (图像) from the story happily. 4. 如今的图书馆总是在找寻有创意的项且来吸引人.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "The doors of wisdom are never shut." 5. 只要公共图书馆的门是开着的,他所选的是正确的.
