Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Mutton town. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain. B. Getting injured in his workC. Feeling uncertain about his future. D. Creatures forced out of their homes.5. Why was the author called to Mutton town?A. To rescue a woman. B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl. D. To cure a young owl.6. What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest. B. Some food. C. A recording. D. Its parents.7. How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected. B. It’s beautiful. C. It’s humorous. D. It’s discouraging. CSome parents will buy any high-tech toy if they think it will help their child, but researchers said puzzles（玩拼图) help children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine, an expert on mathematics development in young children at the University of Chicago, found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知) after controlling for differences in parents ’income, education and the amount of parent talk, Levine said.The researchers analyzed video recording of 53 child-parent pairs during everyday activities at home and found children who play with puzzles between 26 and 46 months of age have better spatial skills when assessed at 54 months of age.“The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate(旋转) and translate shapes,” Levine said in a statement.The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study played with puzzles at one time. Higher-income parents tended to have children play with puzzles more frequently, and both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills. However, boys tended to play with more complex puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language and were more active during puzzle play than the parents of girls.The findings were published in the journal Development Science.8. In which aspect do children benefit from puzzle play?A. Building confidence. B. Developing spatial skillsC. Learning self-control. D. Gaining high-tech knowledge.9. What did Levine take into consideration when designing her experiment?A. Parents’ age. B. Children’s imagination .C. Parents’ education. D. Child-parent relationship.10. How do boys differ from girls in puzzle play?A. They play with puzzles more often. B. They tend to talk less during the game.C. They prefer to use more spatial language.D. They are likely to play with tougher puzzles.11. What is the text mainly about?A. A mathematical method. B. A scientific studyC. A woman psychologist. D. A teaching program.DWe've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smart phones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk（闲聊）is worth the trouble .Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease (润滑剂)for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast ."Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk, "he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others,not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动) with its waiter, the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "it's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband.”says Dunn ."But interactions with peripheral (边缘的)members of our social network matter for our well-being also.”Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. "Small talk is the basis of good manners.”he says.12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A. Addiction to smart phones.B. Inappropriate behaviors in public places.C. Absence of communication between strangers.D. Impatience with slow service.13. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people.C. Focusing on a topic. D. Making business deals14. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people's confidence.C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Conversation Counts B. Ways of Making Small TalkC. Benefits of Small Talk D.
