It was only about ten at night, dark and cold. The policeman moved along the street. Then he suddenly slowed his walk. Near the door of a darkened shop a man was standing. As the policeman walked toward him, the man spoke quickly.“I’m waiting for my friend. His name’s Jimm y. Twenty years ago we agreed to meet here tonight. Jimmy and I were like two brothers. Twenty years ago we said goodbye to each other here. Then I was to start for the West. We agreed that we would meet here again in twenty years.”
“Sounds interesting,” said the policeman.“Have you heard from your friend since you went West?”“Yes,” said the man.“But after a year or two, we stopped. I moved around everywhere. I know that Jimmy will meet me here if he can.”
“You were successful in the West, weren’t you?” as ked the policeman.
“I surely was! I hope Jimmy has done half as well.” said the man.

Sheep Can Recognize Human Faces
University of Cambridge scientists have trained sheep to recognize the faces of famous people. The scientists hope facial recognition may help with their understanding of neurodegenerative diseases(神经退行性疾病).
The researchers showed the sheep pictures of people on two computer screens. One screen had an unknown person and the other had one of four famous people. The animals were given food for choosing the photograph of the famous person. They chose the correct photograph by breaking an infrared beam（红外线光束） near the flat surface showing the photo. If they chose the wrong photograph, an electric signaling machine would make a sound, and the sheep would receive no food. The sheep finally were able to recognize the famous face eight times out of every ten tries.
The group of famous personalities included actors Emma Watson and Jake Gyllenhaal, and former American president Barack Obama.
Professor Jenny Morton was the leader of the study.“We’ve discovered that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, similar to those of humans and monkeys,” she said. The sheep were less successful when they were shown with the faces at a new angle(角度)or from a different direction. However, the researchers said the performance of the animals on this test was similar to the levels seen when humans took the test.
Scientists aim to use the sheep as models to study disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease. This disorder develops ove r a long period of time and affects the brain’s ability to work.
32. When the sheep choose the photograph of , they won’t be given food.
A. Jenny Morton
B. Emma Watson
C. Jake Gyllenhaal
D. Barack Obama

B. some of the famous faces after they were trained
C. the famous faces successfully from a different direction
D. most of the famous faces after they were trained
34.What does the un derlined word“advanced” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Bad.
B. High.
C. Ordinary.
D. Modern.
35. What’s the purpose of these University of Cambridge scientists?
A. To study disorders of the brain.
B. To teach the sheep to recognize human faces.
C. To use the machine to feed the sheep.
D. To play a game with the sheep.
