Can animals be made to work for us? 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 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 different 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 near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. In Russian, 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 touches 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 this and one pigeon can inspect 3,000 to 4,000 balls an hour.
Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.

从第二段第一句话“They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things”（他们指出在马戏团，例如，我们可以看到大象、猴子、狗和其他一些动物做十分灵巧的事情）可以得出正确答案为A“在马戏团，动物们都是很灵巧的”。

题目解析：细节推断题。

从第二段倒数第二句可以看出“…the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward.”（训练员总会给那些动物一块糖果或者一块水
果作为奖励），所以可以推断出正确答案为D“训练员通常在动物完成规定动作之后给它们一块糖果或者水果”。

In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago ―so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.

A. children are reluctant to help each other
B. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operation

题目解析：由文章第一段最后一句话可以看出很多人认为学校过于重视让孩子高兴和感兴趣从而导致了实际指导的减少，正确答案选D。

13. The author's attitude towards American education can be best described as _____.
A. favorable

A. material wealth
