17.Do you have a good memory?Maybe you remember better than all of your friends.But even if you have a short-term memory,it's better than a chimpanzee's(黑猩猩),right?Well,you may be wrong.
    Tetsuro Matszawa,a scientist from Kyoto University,Japan has showed how chimps have far better memories than humans."We learn that chimps have great memories by doing tests,"he told The Guardian"You can do things to improve your memory."
    How do chimps have better memories than us?Scientists t ested four chimps and human volunteers.They showed them five numbers on a computer screen.Chimps and human volunteers had to remember the numbers correctly.But to make it hard,the numbers dis appeared after seven tenths of a second.Then they will reduce the time to two tenths of a second.While humans began to make mistak e after mistake,the young chimps still did very well.
    Why do they have better memories?We share 98.8 percent of our DNA with chimps.But during evolution(進化),we lost some of our shared abilities.As humans learned new skills,like language,we had to lose some of our memory skills to make room in our brains."To get something,we had to lose something,"said the scientist.
    Chimps need good memories to survive.When a chimp looks up at the big tree and pick a banana,he must remember where he saw it as he fights off competition from other animals.

34.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.Scientists t ested four chimps and human volunteers暗示A錯誤;the numbers dis appeared after seven tenths of a second得出B錯;While humans began to make mistak e after mistake,the young chimps still did very well.推出C錯誤;并且得出選項D正確,即黑猩猩在測試中表現(xiàn)比人類要更好.
35.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.在文章中To get something,we had to lose something可知,人類獲得某個技能的同時又失去了其他技能,故選C.

I'll never lose weight---I come from a fat family
Wrong!While we can't change the body type we are born with,we can't blame(責(zé)備)our genes for making us fat.There's plenty of ev idence that fatness runs in families,and the main reason is that they share the same habits of eating too much and exercise too little.
I am fat because I burn calories slowly

Exercise is boring
Wrong!Anything will become boring if you do it repetitively(重復(fù)地).The key is to develop a balanced and varied program that's fun as well as progressive.If you enjoy a Sunday walk,take a different route.If you do Yoga,try a tai chi class.If you like swimming,set yourself a distance or time challenge.
No pain,no gain
Wrong!Exercise is not meant to hurt.Indeed,pain is your body telling you something's wrong,and continuing to exercise could lead to serious injury.You may experience mild discomfort as you begin to exercise regularly,but this is your body adapting to(適應(yīng))the positive changes in your lifestyle and the aches should disappear relatively quickly.If you don't,rest and seek medical advice.
