16、huan province, 28-year-old hydropower station(水电站) worker Gan Yu and his colleague chose to remain at their posts, saving villages from being flooded. Finally, his colleague was rescued on September 8th, while Gan was rescued by a local villager 17 days later.“Im not a hero.” Gan repeated, in an int
17、erview with Xinhua. The name Lei Feng is familiar to him, but Gan doesnt feel that he should be compared to the young soldier. “Lei Feng is a role model that all Chinese young people learn from,” said Gan. “Education from childhood can have a longstanding effect on ones life. Times change, but we st
18、ill need the Lei Feng spirit. The things he did may seem unimportant, but behind them was a great spirit.”Zeng Qiangfei, 24, is also from Sichuan. In 2013, when an earthquake happened in Lushan county, he was studying in a middle school.Zeng remembered seeing rescuers and volunteers gather there fro

24、irit.Scientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the signs of apes.As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. Weve been doing this for tens of thousands of years.Apes have their own system of g
25、estures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos （ 倭黑猩猩） are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”.Scientists have learned t
26、he meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos for years. Besides, scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans could understand the gestures of apes.Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided t
27、o test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the cor
28、rect meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. Thousands of people played the game.The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning abou
29、t 80% of the time. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But its not clear why.Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed
30、down from this shared ancestor （祖先）. Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes and needing to communicate similar ideas. Its also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are requesting.The researchers say that th
31、ey need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. Theyre also curious about how humans understand other animals, like dogs.29How does the writer develop Paragraph 3?ABy telling a story.BBy giving an example.CBy giving a suggestion.DBy expressing an opinion.30Why did Kirsty Gra

34、?DHis orders were passed down from the small group to the other workers.32According to the passage, what will the researchers probably do next?ABegin to study dogs.BEncourage people to do research on apes.CCreate more games for people to play online.DStudy how humans can understand the gestures of a
35、pes.Teens often find themselves hard to communicate their needs or their values with friends and others. Even when their gut （直觉） is telling them that someone is crossing a line with them, its difficult for them to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable. For this reason, teens need

40、sults.If teens have people in their lives such as unkind friends, a controlling partner, or an adult that makes them feel uncomfortable and disrespected, they need to consider setting boundaries with those people._In fact, teens will run into a number of different situations throughout their life th
