阅读以下短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最正确选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Squirrels often communicate with whistles, chirps and chucks, which sound like the word “chuck”．Whistles and chirps are like the sounds that many birds make．Now scientists have translated some of their squirrel-speak．
Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels' alarm calls．The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture（抓拍）their reponses．Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became．Alert（警戒的）．Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves．
"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say 'there's an enemy of average threat that's here', and whistles without chucks say 'there's an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere', while pure chirps say, 'I'm hiding here because there's an immediate danger．' " Hare told．Discovery News．
Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems．
Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare ad ded that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls
In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too．According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees' calls, such as directing fellows' activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms．
While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests（害兽）. Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.
67．The text mainly talks about ．
A．the study on the language of squirrels
B．the comparison between squirrels and chickadees
C．the calling for the protection of squirrels
D．the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies
68．If a squirrel is in a very dangerous situation, it would probably make ____．

C．whistles without chucks D．repeated chucks

A．difficulties B．poises C．messages D．languages

Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professo rs who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural
talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.
Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.

How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes（糖尿病）．Believing my career was over, I felt
extremely low．Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing．That was it ——the encouragement I needed．I could still be a winner if I believed in myself．I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes．But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet．Nothing is to stand in my way．”
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week．I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary．This is the key to success ——you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized．List what you believe you can achieve．Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them．”
Kirsten Best
Poet & Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something．Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies．The key is to concentrate．When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind．It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence．This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool．”

A
A good friend of mine was complaining about her son the other day.“Did you notice,”she started,“how he didn't wait for me to get my salad before he dived into his?”
True enough,the boy attacked his plate faster than a cat in the wild.Without manners,we're no more than animals.Actually ,that's not true,I've been watching and feeding a group of wild cats,and they show unusual politeness toward each other.Even when food is scarce,they take turns,leaving tat least a small part for the next in line.
My mother educated her three children to have good manners all the time.We were made to feel very uncomfortable as if we were sitting on pins and needles until we got used to saying please,thank you ,pardon me,and I'm sorry.And I have to say,while it was a painful learning experience,it was one of the most valuable.
I can't tell you how often I sat with my friends,eating at their dinner tables,and their parents thought
highly of my good manners.While it was a little embarrassing.I knew even then that my mother's teachings were paying off.
Many years later,when I was attending seminars across the country,my manners w ere quite useful. While I regret that I haven't been a perfect example,I'm still working on it.I suppose,in this regard,my mother lives on through me,I didn't have her beautiful singing voice or her green eyes,but she did make sure I received one of her finest characteristics.
