Animals are more like us than we ever imagined.They feel pain, they experience stress, they show affection, excitement and love.All these findings have been made by scientists in recent years---and such results are beginning to change how we view animals.
Strangely enough, some of this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonald’s and KFC.Pressured by animal rights groups , these companies felt they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental states of animals.
McDonald’s, for instance, funded studies on pig behavior at Purdue University, Indiana.This research found that pigs seek affection and easily become depressed if left alone or prevented from playing with each other.If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill.Because of this, and other similar studies, the European Union has banned the use of isolating pig stalls from 2010.In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact a day, and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting
Other scientists have shown that animals think and behave like humans.Koko, the 300-pound gorilla at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language.Koko can now understand several thousand English words, more than many humans who speak English as a second language.On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.
Before such experiments, humans thought language skills were absent from the animal kingdom.Other myths are also being overturned, like the belief that animals lack self-awareness.Studies have also shown that animals mourn their dead, and that they play for pleasure.
These striking similarities between animal and human behavior have led some to ask a question: “If you believe in evolution, how can’t you believe that animals have feelings that human beings have?”
Until recently, scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically-programmed activity.But as Koko the Gorilla shows, this is not the case.In fact, learning is passed from parent to offspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom.
So what implications does this knowledge have for humans? Because of this, should we ban hunting and animal testing? Should we close zoos? Such questions are being raised by many academics and politicians.Harvard and 25 other American law schools have introduced courses on animal rights.Germany meanwhile, recently guaranteed animal rights in its constitution---the first country to do so.
McDonald’s and KFC give money to support scientist to do research on animals, because_____
A.they are international big companies.
B.they love animals.
C.they are pressured by animal right groups.
D.they earn a large amount of money and want to do some good deeds.
The research on pigs at Purdue University shows that______
A.pigs love being alone.
B.pigs easily become physically ill.
C.pigs need affection.
D.pigs don’t like to play with each other.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Animals behave by instinct.
B.Animals have self-awareness.
C.Animals have feelings and love.
D.Animals do not have language skills.
Should we ban hunting and animal testing?
A.Yes.

Dear Doctor,
My husband and I got married in 1990 and for the first ten years of our marriage, I was very happy to stay home and raise our three children. Then four years ago, our youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.
My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He said he thought I could be a great success in business. After several weeks of job hunting, I found my present job, which is working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”
But as his joking remark approaches reality, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions (升職) and pay increases, and I am now making more money than he is. I can buy my own clothes and new car. Because of our combined incomes, my husband and I can do many things that we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.
We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think there is a possibility that our marriage may come to an end. I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel bad, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Can’t you give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?
Please help.
DISTRESSED
66. According to the context of the passage, when was the letter most probably written?
___________________________________.
67. What do you think shows her husband was supportive?
___________________________________.
68. What does the term “job hunting” mean?
___________________________________.
69. Why can they do many things that they had always dreamed of now?
___________________________________.
70. What is the dilemma(兩難)of the working woman?
___________________________________.
