36、its best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)What do three hearts, eight arms, and one huge brain add up to? An octopus, a living thing that can do amazing things. Octopuses are extremely intelligent. They can learn new things just like humans. Theyve even learne

37、d a few tricks to get them out of dangerous situations. If an octopus is threatened by a shark or bird, it can use some pretty incredible skills to get away. Octopuses dont have teeth to defend themselves. Instead, they use more clever ways to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves

38、in the sand on the bottom of the ocean floor. How you ask? Well, the octopus is like a chameleon, another kind of sea animal, because it can change the colour of its skin to match the sand. Some octopuses like to stay where there are rocks. Octopuses dont have backbones, they can squeeze themselves

39、into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their enemies. Another way an octopus can keep safe is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears and their enemy can see again, the octopus has swum away or hidden.If an octopus is being attack

40、ed, it can actually make itself look like a sea snake. It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms visible. It will change the colour of those arms to match a sea snake. But what if theres no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can break off one of its arms. The arm will then change

41、colours in the water to distract the enemies while the octopus swims away to safety. Dont worry though. The octopuss arm will grow back. The blue-ringed octopus is tiny; it could fit in the palm of your hand. Attackers might think this size makes the octopus a great snack, but they know to stay away

42、. The blue-ringed octopus is very poisonous and can kill attackers much larger than itself. Next time you see an octopus, remember that inside that oversized head is a very large brain, making them a clever addition to the sea.57. How are an octopus and a chameleon alike? A.

So I drove on, just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day. But I felt a sense of shame about it.

56、 So I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something. But by the time I got back to her, a gentleman had stopped behind her, and was repairing her cars engine. “Is there anything I can do to help?” I asked. “No! Thank you,” the lady replied. “This nice man says he can fix it.” At that moment, a voice from under the car shouted, “OK, try it now!” The woman reached for the key and turned it. The engine started beautifully.
