Through specialized se
9、nses animals can detect certain diseases and change their behavior to avoid getting ill.In 1966, while studying chimps (猩猩) in a Tanzanian national park, zoologist Jane Goodall observed a chimp named McGregor who had caught a highly infectious virus. His fellow chimps attacked him and threw him out
10、of the troop. In one instance, McGregor approached chimps in a tree. He reached out a hand in greeting, but the others moved away without a backward glance.“For a full two minutes, old McGregor sat motionless, staring after them,” Goodall notes in her 1971 book In the Shadow of Man. “Its really not
11、that different to how some societies react today to such a tragedy.”Not all animals are so aggressive toward their ailing neighbors. Sometimes its as simple as avoiding those who may infect you.When Kiesecker, a lead scientist in America, studied American bullfrog in the late 1990s, he found that bu
12、llfrogs could not only detect a deadly smell of infection in other bullfrogs, but healthy members actively avoided those that were sick. Bullfrogs rely on chemicals signals to determine who is sick or not.Caribbean lobsters also shundiseased members of their community, well before they become infect
13、ious. It takes about eight weeks for lobsters infected with the deadly virus Panulirus argus mininuceovirus to become dangerous to others. Normally social animals, lobsters begin keeping away from the diseased as early as four weeks after infection once the lobsters can smell certain chemicals relea
14、sed by sick individuals.Overall, its important to note that, unlike us, animals dont realize if they stay home, they might actually reduce the infection rate,” Kiesecker explains. “As humans, we have that ability. Its a big difference.”4What can we learn about the chimps from Goodalls observation?AT

17、 Home Stay HealthyDuring the holiday season, many of us feel pressure to find our loved ones the “perfect” gift. Why? Because gift-giving has long been considered a prime way to express love. However, recent research suggests that small acts of kindness, like a kind word, hugging a child or receivin
18、g sympathy, make people feel most loved and supported.In the study, 495 men and women between the ages of 18 and 93 completed a questionnaire evaluating 60 possible ways that people can feel love. The storyboards included situations like spending time with friends, receiving gifts, and spending time
19、 in nature. The survey also included negative interactions, like being controlled and criticized (批评) by others.The findings highlight the psychological benefits that close relationships can offer. In fact, study participants ranked human interaction as a more significant expression of love than rec
20、eiving material items, like presents. Connecting with others was also rated more highly than getting positive feedback on the Internet, indicating that people get the most support from personal human contact.“During the holidays，anxiety rises, making it harder to remain present with ourselves and ot
21、hers. However, the power of spending time with another person is a gift we can give at any moment,” says Dr. Carla Naumburg, a mindfulness coach and social worker in Newton, Mass. He suggests balancing party planning and online shopping with moments of human connection. Activities like reading to a
22、child, meeting a friend for a walk, or taking a moment to call a family member, are ways to express love and care and can keep us emotionally grounded.While the idea of offering loved ones the gift of our time may pale in comparison to giving them a generous present, recent research shows shared hum

26、t is not presents but presence that counts.DStress causes people to withdraw from others.Measles(麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine(疫苗). But the disease is making a comeb
27、ack, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination
28、rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who cant be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesnt
29、work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.Thats exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 meas
30、les cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state l
31、aws that make it too easy to opt out(决定不参加) of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tigh
32、ten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but theyll exist only as
33、 long as everyone shares in the risks.12The first two paragraphs suggest that _.Aa small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendBthe outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionCanti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsDinformation about measles spreads quickly13Herd immunity wo

36、ung adult is a tough task. Sometimes, parents struggle to admit you have grown up and can care for yourself. Other times, they may simply have thought otherwise. No doubt, communication is the best way to solve the conflict. Here are some tips on that._16_Choose a time when your parents can sit down
37、 and talk with you without being distracted. Try to talk with your parents alone at first. If you live away from home, call and ask what time would work the best for them. _17_Be straightforward and honest.You are only as good as your words, so dont lie. Simply recount the events from your list and
38、include your emotional reactions. If it is easier, you may ask your parents to remain silent until you finish with an initial list of concerns. _18_They can make you a bitter, angry person. Listen and ask questions.When your parents get a chance to talk, respect them and listen carefully. This is yo
39、ur opportunity to try to understand where they are coming from. There is a possibility that the same event was viewed in two different ways. _19_It may be helpful to write down any questions as they are talking.Ask for advice.Keep parts of the conversation positive by telling your parents about your
40、 goals for the future.
