My grandmother became a widow in 1970. Shortly after that, we went to the  36  shelter to pick out a dog to keep her  37  . Grandma decided on a little dog with a reddish-brown spot above each eye.  38  these spots, the dog was named Penny.

Grandma and Penny quickly became very 39 to each other, but that attachment grew much stronger about three years later 40  Grandma had a stroke（中風(fēng)）. Grandma could no longer

 41  , so when she came home from the hospital, she and Penny were  42  companions.

After her stroke, it became a real  43  for Grandma to let Penny in and out because  44  was at the bottom of a flight of stairs. So a mechanism（機(jī)械裝置）using a rope and pulley（滑輪）was   45  from the door to a handle at the top of the stairs. Grandma just had to pull the handle to open and close the door. If the store was   46  Penny’s favorite dog food, Grandma would make one of us  47  Penny browned beef with potatoes in it. I can remember   48  my grandmother by saying that she loved that dog better than she loved her family.

As the years passed, it was not  49  for Grandma and Penny to separate each other. If Grandma went to take her nap（打盹）, Penny stayed by her side until she  50  . As Penny aged, she could no longer jump up on the bed, so she   51  on the rug （墊子）beside the bed. If Grandma went into the   52  , Penny would walk along beside her, wait outside the door and accompany her   53  to the bed or chair. Grandma never went anywhere without her   54  companion by her side.

The time came when both my grandmother’s and Penny’s   55  were failing fast. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other.

Everywhere man is altering the balance of nature．He is facilitating the spread of plants and animals into new regions, sometimes deliberately, sometimes unconsciously．He is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants, or with houses, factories, slag-heaps and other products of his civilization．He exterminates some species on a large scale, but favors the multiplication of others．In brief, he has done more in five thousand years to alter the biological aspect of the planet than has nature in five million．
Many of these changes which he has brought about have had unforeseen consequences．Who would have thought that the throwing away of a piece of Canadian waterweed would have caused half the waterways of Britain to be blocked for a decade, or that the provision of pot cacti for lonely settlers’ wives would have led to Eastern Australian being overrun with forests of Prickly Pear? Who would have prophesied that the cutting down of forests on the Adriatic coasts, or in parts of Central Africa, could have reduced the land to a semi desert, with the very soil washed away from the bare rock? Who would have thought that improved communications would have changed history by the spreading of disease-sleeping sickness into East Africa, measles into Oceania, very possibly malaria into ancient Greece?
These are spectacular examples; but examples on a smaller scale are everywhere to be found．We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds, prescribing absolute security for all species; and we may find that some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies beyond measure and ousts the rare kinds in which we were particularly interested．We see, owing to some little change brought about by civilization, the starling spread over the English country-side in hordes．We improve the yielding capacities of our cattle; and find that now they exhaust the pastures which sufficed for less exigent stock．
【小題1】The following examples except _______________ reflect man altering the balance of nature．

A．man is covering huge areas with new kinds of plants
B．man is facilitating the spread of animals into new regions．
C．man is killing some species on a large scale
D．man is getting to know the importance of keeping the balance of nature．
【小題2】What had a piece of Canadian waterweed cause?
A．Eastern Australian was overrun with forests．
B．Half the waterways of Britain blocked for a decade．
C．In parts of central Africa, the land reduced to a semi desert．
D．Disease-sleeping has been caused．
【小題3】What have spread diseases?
A．Disease-sleeping sickness．B．Measles．
C．Improved communications．D．Malaria．
【小題4】We make a nature sanctuary for rare birds but _______________.
A．some common and hardy kind of bird multiplies
B．rare kinds multiply
C．a(chǎn)ll bird multiply
D．no bird multiply
【小題5】The main idea of the passage is ______________．
A．that man is deliberately destroying the balance of nature
B．that man has foreseen the consequences of altering the balance old nature
C．that improved communications have changed history
D．that man is altering the balance of nature

Birds that are half-asleep—with one brain hemisphere (半球) alert and the other sleeping—control which side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping ducks.
Earlier studies have documented half-brain sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut, while the wakeful hemisphere’s eye stays open and alert. Birds also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.
Decades of studies of bird groups led researchers to predict extra alertness in the end-of-the-row sleepers which tend to be attacked more easily. Sure enough, the end birds tended to watch carefully on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots showed no preference for gaze direction.
Also, birds napping at the end of the line depend on single-hemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation, more often than inner ducks did. Turning 16 birds through the positions in a four-duck row, the researchers found that compared with 12 percent for birds in internal spots, outer birds half-asleep during some 32 percent of napping time.
“We believe this is the first evidence for an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness at the same time in different regions of the brain,” the researchers say.
The results provide the best evidence for a long-standing assumption that single-hemisphere sleep evolved as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He’s seen it in a pair of birds napping side-by-side in the zoo and in a single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirror-side eye closed as if the reflection were a companion and the other eye stayed open.
Useful as half-sleeping might be, it’s only been found in birds and such water animals as dolphins, whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.
Studies of birds may offer unique insights into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds’ half-brain sleep “is just the tip of the iceberg.” He supposes that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other species.
【小題1】According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ______.

A．they have to watch out for possible attacks
B．their brain hemispheres take turns to rest
C．the two halves of their brain are differently structured
D．they have to constantly keep an eye on their companions
【小題2】What is implied about the example of a bird’s sleeping in front of a mirror?
A．An imagined companion gives the bird a sense of security.
B．Birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake of their security.
C．The phenomenon of birds napping in pairs is widespread.
D．A single pet bird enjoys seeing its own reflection in the mirror.
【小題3】 While sleeping, some water animals tend to keep half awake in order to ______.
A．a(chǎn)lert themselves to the approaching enemy
B．emerge from water now and then to breathe
C．be sensitive to the ever-changing environment
D．a(chǎn)void being swept away by rapid currents
【小題4】By saying “just the tip of the iceberg”, Siegel suggests that ______.
A．half-brain sleep has something to do with icy weather
B．the mystery of half-brain sleep is close to being solved
