38、o talk about someone who is stupid, but crows prove that this is unfair. now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies (類推法).it was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively, put things into categories, and make scientific d

39、iscoveries. to test this ability in animals, scientists do “relational matching-to-sample”(rmts) tests, according to the ifl science website. if a pair was aa, for example, then picking bb to match it would be correct. if the pair was cd, however, then ef would be correct.apes and monkeys have learn

40、ed rmts, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. an international team led by edward wasserman from the university of iowa in the us first trained two hooded crows to match things by color, shape, and number in what is called “identity matching-to-sample(imts) ”, then moved onto rmt

41、s. for the imts test, the birds were put in a cage with a plastic tray that had three cards and two cups in it. the card in the middle was the sample card. the cups on either side were covered with the other two cards: one was the same as the sample (in the color, shape, or number of shapes pictured

42、), while the other wasnt. the cup with the card that matched the sample card contained two wormsto eat. in the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with relational matching pairs. a card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-size

43、d squares and not two different-sized circles. the birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, science news reports.wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in rmts. “what the crows have don

44、e is extraordinary,” he said in a news release. “honestly, if it was only by force that the crows showed this learning, then it would have been an impressive result. but this was spontaneous .”so perhaps its time to stop saying “birdbrain” permanently!46. why does the author mention the expression “

45、birdbrain” in the opening paragraph?a. to get the reader interested in the origins of the expression.b. to urge people to stop saying that birds are stupid.c. to introduce the topic of edward wasserman and his experiments.d. to introduce recent findings about crows intelligence.47. which of the foll

47、est, if the birds were given the sample card with two same-sized triangles, they had to pick the test card with _.a. two same-sized circlesb. one circle and one trianglec. two different-sized circlesd. two different-sized triangles49. the underlined word “spontaneous” in the second-to-last paragraph

49、mplain because they feel that intellectual levels are falling rapidly! the figures prove it: young people visit museums less, spend their lives chatting on the internet, read nothing but stephen king, while watching american soaps such as friends or reality shows like star academy on television, mus

50、ic player glued to their cars, and the games console handy. it is, however, easy to see these habits in a positive light. music is the favorite leisure activity: 86% of 14-to18-year-olds put it at the top of their activities, above the cinema(71%), clubbing(68%), sport(56%) and television(48%). for

51、90% of young people aged 14 to 18, radio is also very popular: they listen to it every day without exception. international popular music has a strong showing, but songs in french are still in the majority(60%). young people do, of course, watch a lot of television, but less than their elders, and i

52、f they tend to choose mostly soaps and reality tv shows, that is because these are the programs people talk about, which encourages social interaction. do young people read less than they used to? maybe, but thats also true of the elders. young people still read more than their elders. when asked, “

53、do you like reading?”, 94% of 14-to-18-year-olds say they do, and 81% are convinced that computers will never replace books. contrary to popular belief, reading continues to occupy an extremely important place in leisure-time activities, but the reading matter young people choose has changed conside

54、rably: there is a greater variety of media(computers and new technologies) and young people admit to taste they would perhaps have been ashamed of in the past. for example, comic strips, stenphen king or other authors not recognized by mainstream culture, such as betty mahmoody (not without my daughter), mary higgins clark or jostein gaader (sophies world). as beatrice toulon, editor in chief of the magazine phosphore, see it, “they dont read the same things as their parents did, but they are not afraid to admit it. they have their own culture, which they fl
