Bonnie often walks on two legs, like humans. And you can find the 32-year-old great ape copying her keepers by sweeping the floor of her zoo home. Sometimes she uses a piece of cloth to clean the window.

“Apes （猿）in general are very clever, but Bonnie is surely even more so," said Erin Stromberg, a great ape keeper who works with Bonnie and recently wrote a research paper about her ability to whistle.

Bonnie is one of the six adult great apes at the National Zoo. Bonnie and other great apes are part of a research project. Scientists there are trying to learn more about the way the great apes think and act. One part of the project is to learn whether great apes can develop a way to remember long lists.

Stromberg helped with a project on Bonnie’s unusual ability to whistle. Years ago Bonnie started to whistle, probably after hearing a keeper do it. In the project, Stromberg made different whistling noises to see if Bonnie could repeat them. She did. Bonnie’s whistling shows some apes have the ability to learn a new sound from another species.

The finding is especially important because, Stromberg said, it can help scientists better understand how human speech developed. Great apes, after all, are the closest relatives to human beings in the animal kingdom.

Bonnie was born in 1976 at a zoo in New Mexico and arrived at the National Zoo in December 1980. Bonnie has physical features common to great apes, such as a large belly. Her dark red coat makes her easy to spot on a visit to the zoo.

8. The main purpose of the research project is to .

A. find out how clever the great apes are

B. know more about how the great apes think and act

C. learn whether the great apes can remember long lists

D. see whether the great apes can copy humans' action

9. Why is the finding especially important?

A. It can help people raise great apes more easily.

B. It makes scientists know more about their living habit.

C. It proves some apes have the ability to learn a new sound.

D. It can help scientists better learn the development of human speech.

10. People can notice Bonnie easily among the others at the zoo because .

A. she is too old

B. her belly is very large

C. her hair is of a special color

D. she is able to whistle like humans

11. Which of the following can be the theme of the passage?

A. A great ape that can whistle

B. A research project on great apes

C. The cleverest animal at the zoo

D. A great ape that can do housework

D

Imagine stepping out your front door and standing in the middle of a national park. Daniel hopes this might soon be possible for millions of London residents（居民）. Daniel is leading a campaign（活动）to make London a national park city.

The effect of having no friends

A study has found that people who are lonely have more physical and mental health problems than those who feel connected with others. It affects your health in four ways.

You are more likely to be depressed（抑郁的）.

16 Researchers have shown that when you're lonely, brain hormones associated with stress such as cortisol （皮质醇）become active, which can cause depression. The previous research has found that the more positive social interactions （交流）people with depression have, the more improvement in symptoms they experience.

17

Research has shown you'll eat less healthily if you frequently dine alone. Researchers have pointed out that if you are cooking for other people, you are more likely to prepare a healthier meal that contains a range of foods—meat, starch （淀粉）and vegetables. 18 People who are lonely are also more likely to be physically inactive.

You are more likely to suffer from heart disease.

Research has repeatedly shown lonely people have a higher risk of heart disease, and it's for many reasons. Since they don't have social support, they're more likely to be affected by stress. 19 If they're lonely, they're less likely to be physically active or eat properly. If they don't feel well , they're much less likely to go to see a doctor.

20

Research has found that loneliness can affect the immune （免疫的）system. People who are lonely produce more inflammation（发炎）--related proteins in response to stress than folks who feel more socially connected. Inflammation is linked to numerous health conditions including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer's disease.

A. You are likely to eat more food.

B. You had better get on well with others.

C. You are less likely to take care of yourself.

D. You could have a weaker system to fight off disease.

E. This increases the possibility of getting heart disease.

F. Otherwise, you're just throwing something together for yourself.

G. The more lonely you feel, the more likely you are to be depressed.

A few years ago I worked in an international company that sold computer devices（设备）. I had to travel a lot over the country as a part of my work. I remember that I was at a stage of my life where I only cared about how to make more money.

On one of my trips, I came to the airport to take a bus to downtown, as usual. It was the same routine（路线）：get into the city, take the bus to the hotel, visit the customer, work late, take the bus back to the airport and fly back... That day, for some reasons, I decided to take the stairs down to a different exit, where I came across a beautiful garden I had never seen before. I waited there, enjoying the scenery. Finally the bus came.

Usually I always took the seat behind the driver. That day I sat down somewhere in the middle. A boy was seated next to me, carrying a lot of suitcases. Suddenly, he turned to me and gave me one of the most sincere smiles I had ever seen from a stranger. Warmly, he said, “Hi, the perfect day in the perfect place, huh"

I remember thinking to myself —this must be one of those typical（典型的）people who is young and naive （天真的）and just thinks everything is beautiful and easy. Why was he annoying me when I just wanted to enjoy the bus ride? But out of politeness, I replied, “Perfect! Did your parents pay for you to have some vacations on the beach?" “No, I'm not here for vacation, and I don't have parents, He shook his head, “I'm here because I want to achieve my biggest dream.
