　　Passage 2

　　Mary is digging in the ground for a photo, when along comes John. Seeing that there is no one in sight, John starts to scream. John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away. Once his mum has gone, John helps himself to Mary’s potato.

　　We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Mary and John are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒). ___36___

　　John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance, but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others. ___37___

　　Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated. ___38___ An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”

　　Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. ____39___ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.

　　It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies. ____40___ Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.

　　A. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.

　　B. An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.

　　C. And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.

　　D. So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.

　　E. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use

　　of tools

　　F. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly

　　used by baboons.

　　G. Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.

　　Passage 3

　　Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.

　　They'll say,

　　"This is

　　my fate. I cannot change it.”

　　36 . You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your fate depends on you, not on any other outside factors

　　We want to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.

　　37

　　You just don' t sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone ( unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work I

　　If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: "Our time will come. " or

　　38

　　" Don' t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don' t just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It' s not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.

　　If someone' s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not!

　　39
