His Own Way to Express Love

Yesterday was our three-year anniversary.We didn't do anything romantic;we just
walked hand in hand and talked about our past and the future.This was pretty much what I
had expected.
Andy is an unromantic guy:no sweet words or roses.Smart as he is,he is a little bit
shy expressing his love.In contrast, I am an outspoken（直言不讳）girl who likes to show
her feelings directly.So needless to say,I often feel that he is insensitive,I envy other girls
who are surrounded by sweet words.
I was in this sullen mood until I heard a beautiful sentence one day:"If one does not
love you the way you like,it does not mean that he does not love you,"This simple but
sensible sentence made me think about our happy days and recall his deep concern for me.
One cold winter night,I got a high fever.He hurried to my dormitory and took me to the
hospital.He was in such a hurry that he even forgot to wear socks.After arrival,he ran
through the hospital handling all the formalities（手续）.When I was put on a drip（点滴）,
he told me interesting stories to make me happy.Being held in his warm arms and listening
to his tender（温柔的）voice, I had never felt so safe and comfortable.Gradually, I fell
asleep.When I woke up 15 minutes later, he was still mumbling（咕哝地说）to me.He
explained that if he had stopped talking I would have woken up.At that moment,I found
love in his eyes.
Another time,I had a bad quarrel with my best friend.Although I knew it was my fault,
I refused to admit it.I was very angry when he insisted I apologize to her.He said that it
was difficult to admit a mistake,but this was what everyone should do.The next morning,I
apologized to my friend and asked for her forgiveness.
My unromantic boyfriend cares about my health like my father,understands me like my
mother and helps me like my elder brother.

Who is Andy?
A:The writer's father.
B:The writer's uncle:
C:The writer's elder brother.
D:The writer's boyfriend.

Night of the Living Ants

When an ant dies,other ants move the dead insect out of the nest.This behavior is interesting to scien-
tists,who wonder how ants know for sure一and so soon一that another ant is dead.
Dong-Hwan Choe,a scientist at the University of California,found that Argentine ants have a chemical
on the outside of their bodies that signals to other ants,"I'm dead一take me away."
But there's a twist to Choe's discovery. These ants behave a little bit like zombies（僵尸）.Choe says
that the living ants一not just the dead ones一have this death chemicals. In other words,while an ant crawls
around,perhaps in a picnic or home,it's telling other ants that it's dead.
What keeps ants from hauling away the living dead? Choe found that Argentine ants have two additional
chemicals on their bodies,and these tell nearby ants something like,"Wait一I'm not dead yet."So Choe's
research turned up two sets of chemical signals in ants:one says,"I'm dead,"the other set says,"I'm not
dead yet."
Other scientists have tried to figure out how ants know when another ant is dead.If an ant is knocked
unconscious,other ants leave it alone until it wakes up.That means ants know that unmoving ants can still be
alive.
Choe suspects that when an Argentine ant dies,the chemical that says"Wait一I'm not dead yet"quickly
goes away. Once that chemical is gone,only the one that says"I'm dead"is left."It's because the dead ant
no longer smells like a living ant that it gets carried to the graveyard（墓地）,not because its body releases
new,unique chemicals after death,"said Choe.When other ants detect the"dead"chemical without the"not
dead yet" chemical,they haul away the body. This was Choe's hypothesis（假设）.
To test his hypothesis,Choe and his team put different chemicals on Argentine ant pupae（蛹）.When
the scientists used the"I'm dead"chemical,other ants quickly hauled the treated pupae away.When the sci-
entists used the"Wait一I'm not dead yet"chemical,other ants left the treated pupae alone.Choe believes
this behavior shows that the" not dead yet" chemical overrides（优先于）the" dead" chemical when picked up
by adult ants.And that when an ant dies,the"not dead yet"chemical fades away.Other nearby ants then de-
tect the remaining"dead"chemical and remove the body from the nest.

According to Choe's hypothesis,_______________.
A:an ant still smells like a living one when it dies
B:the"I am dead"chemical leaves the ant's body when it dies
C:the"I am not dead yet"chemical is left when an ant dies
D:the"I am not dead yet"chemical quickly goes away when it dies

Treat Teenagers with Respect

My husband Bill and I have received comments from other parents expressing their sympathies ever since Douglas's 14th birthday,since our son is a teenager now. We've heard a lot,such as "Well,when kids become teenagers,they are awful,just do your best to go through this tough period."or"I know he's a good child,but just wait,now that he's a teenager."
I know that teenagers at times can be difficult to deal with,but I'm in my mid-thirties and I can also be tough.We are concerned about the future of our kids and want today's children to know that we do love and care them and that there are opportunities waiting for them. Nevertheless,when they just start their journey toward adulthood, we stand there expecting them to make mistakes."Just like we knew they would."We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs,yet we are not setting a positive example by showing our respect for them,and fail to treat them with consideration and kindness.
At times I have felt guilty of this behavior but I now realize that the more I see each person as a person,the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For instance,a few days ago Bill and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate my birthday and three teenage boys entered and sat down right beside us.The first thought came into my mind,I must admit,was,"Gosh, there goes our peaceful and quiet dinner."But,the fact proved I was very wrong!The three teenagers were quiet,well behaved and even left a nice tip for the waiters.Once I looked beyond their colored hair and the loose jeans that were practically falling off,I saw what fine people these young men were.
Many parents are upset about the fact that teenagers adore sports stars and pop singers,yet they themselves,perhaps unknowingly,treat their kids with disrespect.As far as I think we really shouldn't complain unless we give them something better to go after.

Who are responsible for the fact that pop singers and sports stars become heroes of teenagers?
A:The society.
B:Themselves.
C:Their parents.
D:All of the above.
