On the other hand, their eyesight may be poor. Dogs, for example, have poor eyesight and no color vision. They see only shades of
15、gray. But the dogs sense of smell is extraordinary,The kind of dog known as Alsatian has 220 million olfactory (嗅觉) cells. Man has five million. Scientists believe that the Alsatian is one million times better than man in finding out odors.The human sense of smell, however, is really quite good. The

Dogs Have Excellent Sense of Smell（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Many people use wood stoves and fireplaces to heat their homes. Scientists have become worried about
19、the smoke that they give off. Harmful chemicals are in the smoke. The smoke is causing air pollution. The pieces of pollution, called soot, are floating in the air. They are too tiny to see. Scientists must use a microscope to see them.Small amounts of soot are safe, but large amounts can be dangero
20、us. The government wants to limit this kind of pollution. It may stop people from using their fireplaces.The air is tested every day. When soot levels are high, more than 65 micrograms of soot per cubic meter, factories must stop making smoke. The government thinks that limit should be much lower.Fa
21、ctories produce the most smoke and soot. But the government thinks that all types of burning should be limited. The soot levels from factories and homes could be limited. Home owners may have to install new wood stoves that they comply with the new law. Or, they may not be able to burn on days when

Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.They point out that at a circus, for example, we may
26、see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many differen
27、t animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes nea
28、r. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russia, for example, pigeons which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touch
29、es a steel plate with its beak. This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3 000 to 4 000 balls an hour.Apes have been used in America in helping to make

40、 body, the memory can improve with age.For many years, doctors have been studying the way the brain works. We all know that the brain has two sides, the left and the right. The right side controls the senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling), and is the creative and imaginative side.
41、The left side of the brain controls our logical thinking. It processes the information which comes in, and puts it into order. We call the left side the “educated“ side of the brain and generally, in western societies, people have developed this side of the brain more than the right side.Scientists
42、believe that our brain will work much more efficiently if both the right side and the left side are developed equally. In many schools today, teachers try to educate the children in such a way that both sides of the brain are used. This can be done with logical subjects including mathematics and sci
43、ence as well as with creative subjects such as art and literature. The result achieved by students who are educated in this way is usually better than the result of students who are educated in a more traditional way. Traditional teaching tends to exercise the left side of the brain without paying v
44、ery much attention to the development of the right side.Great thinkers such as Bertand Russell the philosopher, and Albert Einstein, the scientist, only in their work, but also in creative and imaginative activities. It was because of their many different interests in life that they were able to ach
45、ieve the full development of both sides of their brain.As long as Einstein and Russell lived, their brains functioned efficiently. It was their bodies, finally, which could not go on any longer.（分数：12.00）(1).The left side of the brain controls_.A. the senses B. the right side C. logical thinking D.

48、not function efficiently any more B. the full development of both sides of their brain was achievedC. their bodies stopped workingD. they were very old（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.California families are facing a rapidly mounting uphill battle to make enough money to provide basic household essentials, accordin
