Bears can exactly make another bear’s facial expressions. Sun bears open their mouths to match their playmates( 伙伴 ) when they are doing things with others face to face. Researchers believe that such facial mimicry (模仿) has not been seen outside humans and gorillas(大猩猩).In the behavioral study, they found that bears were able to use facial expressions to communicate with others in a similar way to humans and gorillas.

The researchers studied 22 sun bears in the wild for more than two years. In total,21 matched the

open-mouthed expressions of their playmates during face-to-face communications. When they were facing each other, 13 bears made expressions within one second of observing a similar expression from their playmates.

The bears aged 2-12, were housed in a natural center in Malaysia in which the areas were large enough to allow bears to choose whether to communicate or not. Although they prefer to live alone in the wild, the bears in this study took part in hundreds of games. Among them there were more gentle plays than rough ones.

The research was done by Doctor Ross in the University of Portsmouth. She believes that copying other bears’ facial expressions plays a great part in sun bears’ daily life.

How do sun bears respond to others in face to face communication?

A. Touching. B. Smiling C. Opening their mouths. D. Kissing on the face

How many sun bears were studied in the research?

A. 2. B. 12. C. 21. D. 22

Living a healthy lifestyle lies in forming the right eating habits. Here are some of the good habits you can develop when it comes to healthy eating.

Drink plenty of water. You must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising.

Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A recent study has shown that those who eat breakfast will consume an average of 100 calories less during the day than their colleagues who skipped breakfast. They will also be able to concentrate better.

Don’t skip lunch. If you do so, your blood sugar level will drop and your metabolism( 新陈代谢)will slow down. When you get home you are starving and eat everything you can find.

We all needed to snack from time to time, but please choose your snacks carefully. In fact it’s a good idea to eat two healthy snacks besides your three main meals. Choose healthy snacks like fruit and vegetables, low fat yogurt, cottage cheese with apple sauce, and so on.

Eat your fruit and vegetables. We should eat at least 5 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Take a piece of fruit for a snack, add some bananas and raisins to your favorite breakfast cereal, have a salad for lunch, and eat at least one vegetable at dinner each night.

Do not eat your dinner too late. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8 hours. Plan dinner for the week ahead of time and make sure you have everything you need in the house so other family members can get a head start on dinner if you have a late meeting at the office.

How many good eating habits are mentioned in the passage?

A. Five. B. Six. C. Seven. D. Eight.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

You should drink at least 8 glasses of water whatever the environment may be.

Breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, fruit and vegetables are equally important.

As you are growing and changing, you have more responsibilities and also more freedom to spend time with other people. While you may feel ready to make your own decisions about where and when to go, your parents will put limits on you. So you may find you are arguing with your parents more than you used to. The reason why your parents do this is that they care about you and want to protect you from danger.

Here are some tips for how to avoid and handle arguments with your parents:

Discuss the rules ahead of time and not at the last minute. This way you will be able to tell what they will say yes or no before you make plans. Your parents can also explain to you why each rule is in place. Ask them to give you the chance to explain how the rules make you feel and suggest what you think are right rules. Your parents may be willing to listen to your ideas and use them when making rules that you both agree on.

Try to remain calm when your parents say no to something. You will show your parents that you are responsible and mature by talking instead of shouting.
Spend time with your family. Some teens argue with their parents over the amount of time they spend with their friends. Communicate with each other and make some special family time that you

can all enjoy the time you spend at home. Suggest activities that your whole family will enjoy together such as going on a hike, taking a bike ride, or going to the beach.

Your parents limit your activity mainly because they .

A. are worried about your safety B. are worried about your study
