People and animals often enjoy loving relationships with each other. When people adopt domesticated (家养的) animals into their families as pets, animals give humans the blessings of companionship and fun in return. In the wild, animals sometimes carry out dramatic rescues of people in dangerous situations, miraculously (奇迹般地) sensing human needs and jumping in without fear to help. In 2000, a 6-year-old boy unified Elian Gonzalez left Cuba on a boat bound for Florida in the United States, but the boat sank and everyone aboard drowned except Elian and two adults. Elian and the other two survivors held onto inner tube for 48 hours to try to stay afloat in the sea. After a while, however, Elian began to lose strength, slipping under the water and then grabbing the tube again as he fought to stay alive. A small group of dolphins noticed Elian struggling and swan over to him to help. The dolphins formed a circle around the inner tube and took turns using their noses to lift Elian until fishermen working in the area discovered and rescued Elian and the two adults who floated nearby. The fishermen reported that, when they discovered Elian, he was repeating a prayer that his mother had taught him before drowning, asking guardian angels to protect him. Miraculously, the dolphins knew that a child would need more help than adults, so they focused on Elian ? and they figured out exactly what needed to be done and cooperated to carry out that plan successfully.

WeChat, a popular instant messaging tool run by Tencent Holdings, aims to help users access mobile services without downloading separate apps, which experts said may challenge the business of smartphone app distributors such Apple Store.

Are you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame, not your parents. This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions ? West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3D facial imaging technology. “People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told the Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls(头骨), Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself. The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages (鼻道) help to increase the wet content of air and warm it, which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator (赤道). More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue. “As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapted to,” he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems. However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modem medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.” 【小题1】According to the passage, people from China might have ________ noses than those from Norway. A. wider B. narrower C. smaller D. bigger 【小题2】Narrower noses are helpful to ________. A. cool the air B. warm the air C. take in more oxygen D. dry the air 【小题3】What can be learned about the study? A. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents. B. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment. C. Zaidi’s team measured human skull using 3D technology. D. It’s certain that people living nearby equator will suffer from more breathing problems. 【小题4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. What factors shape noses B. How to make your nose attractive C. Nose shapes cause breathing problems D. Climate shapes noses |
