30、ple know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers
31、put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasnt food, the chic
32、kens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves (波动). Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recording
33、s were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens.
34、 Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can tell chickens feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.32Wh

37、 has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. Change Flies to
38、the Moon is one of the most popular stories. As you can see, Chinas first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Change I. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Change in the story. These old stories carry peoples best wishes
39、and dreams. With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. Kua Fu Runs After the Sun is another story to show how much ancient Chinese people wanted to know about the unknown world. Now, Kua Fu is going with the scientists to “visit” the sun, because we have
40、 a space project called KuaFu Mission. Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2, 000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time
41、. So, Chinas first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi, making China the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influe
42、nce it has on our modern science and technology.36What do we know about Change I according to the passage?AIt moves around the moon.BIt “visits” the sun with the scientists.CIt protects the Jade Rabbit.DIt is the worlds first man-made satellite.37How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph
