As soon as the Christmas festivities draw to a close and decorations are finally taken down, preparations begin for Carnival, the biggest and most exciting event of the year.Having never experien
3、ced Carnival in the Caribbean before, I was excited to see Martinique come alive in Carnival spirit. True to my expectations, the celebrations were loud and had a lot of energy. For five days, the streets of Fort de France were filled with huge crowds, beautiful costumes and exciting music. Daily ro
4、utines were completely abandoned while everyone took to the streets with crazy dance moves. In Martinique, Carnival is a celebration that brings people together, regardless of their age, race or religion. Everybody is united in this great celebration of life. An interesting aspect of Carnival for me
5、 was to see how many different cultural influences there were. The performances of people dancing in the street strongly reflected African dance, while the costumes were European. The music was also a unique mix of West African, Caribbean and European influences.So, what are the roots of Martiniques
6、 culture? Most of the population of Martinique are of African descent (后裔）.The history dates back to Africans who were brought to the Caribbean as slaves. After the end of slavery, many Caribbean societies welcomed forms of African culture and identity. Once controlled by France, Martinique is also

10、abu University in Japan, carried out a series of experiments that examined the impact of the gaze in the dogs and their owners. “Our data suggest that owner-dog bonding is similar to human parent-child bonding,” Kikusui said. “And this is surprising to us because there is not a mother-baby relations
11、hip between humans and dogs, but both of them have acquired similar skills.”The researchers found that when owners and their dogs gazed into one anothers eyes during a 30-minute period, levels of oxytocin (催产素）increased in both the humans and the dogs.

Kikusui aid he believed the gaze was learned by dogs as part of their efforts to communicate and form social bonds with humans.The latest studies have shown that dogs probably evolved from wolv

Interestingly, Kikusui didnt find the same oxytocin response in wolves and their owners. “These results suggest that wolves do not use gazes as a form of social communication with humans, which might be expected because wolves tend to use eye contact as a threat，
14、” the researchers wrote.Duke universitys Evan MacLean and Brian Hare said, “This is particularly true when it comes to how dogs understand the social world. Even as young dogs, they naturally respond to human gestures, such as pointing cues, to find hidden food or toy rewards.”MacLean said he felt t

He says that he tried to take his own life nine years ago after hitting “rock bottom.” “In
20、 the beginning, I was so paranoid (妄想的）and angry that I couldnt leave the house,” says Doogue. “When I attempted to end my life, I knew I needed to see someone. I went to the doctors and got treatment, but I knew that I needed something more 一 and thats when I started photography.Now a clad of two,
21、Doogue found that looking at insects through a camera helped him in ways he could never have imagined 一 and it proved to be the lifeline he needed. It had a “calming effect” that helped him to “disconnect” from stress; and his astonishing images, showing insects and spiders in amazing detail against
22、 brightly colored backgrounds, caught the eye of publishers at National Geographic. “I ended up as one of their featured photographers,” recalled Doogue. “It was the peak of my career.

28、ure.二、七选五Is being different around different people like putting on a mask? When I am around different people I act differently. I switch my attitude around so it is similar to that of my friends. _11_The honest truth is that every person has many different parts of his or her personality that make
29、up the whole person. For example, there are times when I am excited and noisy. At other times I like to be more quiet and reserved. During neither of these times am I being dishonest; just another aspect of my personality is coming out. And sometimes I behave differently depending on the social situ
30、ation that I am in. For example, I am a pretty casual guy, so I really do prefer wearing jeans and T-shirts whenever possible. _12_This is not wearing a mask. It is just being respectful and appropriate to the situation. And there are even groups of people that bring out certain parts of my personal

But when I am at home with my wife and kids after a long day at work, I am much more reserved and quiet. _13_Rather, I am just being socially appropriate, and sensitive to the people that I am with or the situatio
32、n that I am in. At other times I feel comfortable being loud around my family and reserved with my friends. _14_They wouldnt be good friends if they didnt value all the different aspects of my personality.By contrast, what if I were with a group of people who support abortion? _15_Just to avoid conf

34、ear a suit and tie.ESo I do not believe I am wearing a mask in any of these situations.FIf they asked me my opinion, it would totally be a mask for me to agree with them.GSo if we are not being the same person in the presence of any group, we are wearing a mask.三、完形填空Mary uses a walking stick.
