Birds may not be so bird-brained after all. A study of Japanese tits has shown they can “speak is phrases”, an ability previously thought to be unique to humans.

 Displaying talents that may force us to change our traditional concepts of human superiority. Japanese tits could produce a “scan the surroundings for danger” call and then add a “come here sound onto the end and in effect reading the phrase “come here and scan for danger”.

 Dr David Wheatcraft, one of the co-authors of the study, said this was the first known example of untrained wild animals using “compositional syntax”, when two calls with independent meaning are combined to create something with a new meaning

 The study published yesterday in the journal Nature Communication raises further questions about just how superior human language abilities really are.

How sapiens(智人)has long been regarded as the only species capable of language, with its potential of convey endless variations of meaning such as fixed alarm calls or a particular learned song.

 However, DrWheatcraft said that scientists were now new finding more and more examples of how other animals shared what were once considered unique human language abilities.

 We need to think that “referential communication” where words mean certain things.tc humans. There in the 1980s we found monkeys have different kinds of alarm calls for different predators.

 “Now it’s been shown in a wide range of species including chickens” which use different sounds to distinguish between air and ground predators, and in Japanese tits, which have different calls, for “crow” and “snake”. Parrots dolphins had all been trained to respond to combined phrases, he said, but the wild Japanese great tits were the first to have been shown to “use these building blocks of language on their own”

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

We may not be wearing them very much at the moment, but the story behind out most glamourous(迷人的) pair of high heels is likely much longer than any of us really realize.

Here is the tale of how a very male shoe came to become an iconic symbol of powerful femininity.

Originally dating back to 15th century Persia, the very first high heels were made for highly practical purpose. An early precursor of the cowboy boot style, a sturdy shoe with in-built heeled sole(鞋底), allowed horsemen to more easily secure their feet in stirrups (马镫), creating a much more comfortable ride.

Owning horses meant wealth, and so owning a pair of proper riding boots was a real symbol of power and influence. As soldiers began to travel on Persian Shah orders to forge a relationship with other influential foreign leaders, word of heeled boot spread across Europe, and they became the covetable look for both sport and leisure.

By the mid 18th century, the male interest in heels had waned, mostly due to their increasing feminization. Though women such as Queen Elizabeth I had first adopted heels in order to ape some of the authority of their male counterparts, women’s shoes had become significantly more decorative thanks to the launch of the sewing machine, which allowed for much greater customization in the affixation of sole and upper.

The 18th century is also when high heels first began to have “sexy” connotations ?in early French postcard pornography from this era, women were often scantily-clad save for an elegant pair of heels, cementing the erotic fantasy that would lead seamlessly into the glamour girls of Second World War.

16.Which is true of high heels?

A. They used to be a male symbol.

B. They have become less feminine.

C. They are worn for practical purpose.

D. They tended to represent neither gender.

17.When were high heels invented?

A. In the 16th Century  B. In the 17th Century

B. In the 18th Century  D. In the 15th Century

18.Whichis closest in meaning to the underlined word “forge” in Para.4?

 A. Affect   B. Change  C. Establish  D. Destroy

19.Which can best describe men’s interest in high heels in the mid 18th century?

A. Became obvious  B. Disappeared

 B. Remained steady  D. Decreased

20.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The design of high heels.  B. The history of high heels.

C. The meaning of high heels.  D. The importance of high heels.

    Nowadays online sales have boomed. Nearly every famous brand has opened up an online store, attracting customers by offering unique products right to their doorstep.

This article highlights four tips to help you save money.

21                         

The very first thing that you should be doing is to make sure that you plan to buy things on the right day and time. Online shopping is a whole lot different from shopping at stores as the possibilities are endless. You should be on the lookout for holiday sales like the Christmas season or Black Friday as the prices significantly drop during these days owing to heavy sales.

22                         

The next most important thing you should do is to look out for cheaper products. Most ecommerce platforms want as many customers as possible and try to retain them in any way they can. You can browse over to https://buykers.com/uk/coupons/feelunique and make use of their ongoing discount on every product in their catalogue.

23                         

If you want to make sure that you are not spending more money than you have to, you are going to need to do some research. Before you buy a product, you should compare its price on different websites and find out where you get the best value for your money. 24                  

Don’t purchase more than you have to.

Where online shopping has its benefits, it also makes users purchase more things than they have to. We are constantly surrounded by ads on social media tempting us to buy pro ducts that we don’t even need.

25                         Therefore, before you make a purchase, you should think long and hard about it.

A. Shop on the right day.

B. Leave items in your cart.

C. Compare different websites.

D. Bargain with customer services.

E. Look for discounts and coupons.

F. Remember not to make any rash decision.

G. You could end up saving a lot of money this way.

Movement exercises such as tai chi and yoga excellent for balance, flexibility and increasing the movement in your joints and muscles.

Increasingly, experts are making the link between exercise and alertness. In 2014, researchers at Stanford University in the US studied 176 college students and found that walking boosted creative output by an average of 60 percent. Meanwhile, last March, a study in the journal Neurology reveals that older adults who regularly engaged in exercise stayed sharper and showed a slower rate of cognitive（认知的）decline than those who didn’t.

Physical exercise is one of the best things you can do manage stress. Even a quick walk in the park can work wonders. In 2014, researchers at the University of Michigan found that group nature walks reduced depression, improved well-being, and lowered stress.

The positive effects may come from the helpful anti-stress hormones that are released when you get moving. Some studies have indicated that exercise can be as effective as a treatment for depression as drugs.

Get your ZZZ's for better memory

Calm your restless legs with a bar of soap

A common cause of sleeplessness: you go to bed, tired and ready to get a solid eight hours. Just as you're drifting off, however, your legs jerk. 67. They continue to do this throughout the night keeping you from falling asleep or waking you up. While there is now a treatment for restless legs syndrome (综合征), it has some side effects. 68. We have a better solution to this problem: slip a bar of soap under your legs and the restlessness should disappear in about three to five minutes, says Dr. Schlachter. The high magnesium content of the soap helps, she says.

Take a vitamin for better sleep

If your restless legs are keeping you awake, try the bar of soap recommended above. But also pop a vitamin B. In one study, researchers found that women with restless legs syndrome were deficient in folic acid, which is required for proper brain and nerve function. 69. Taking this vitamin can improve things.

Exercise at the right time

It has been shown that even mild exercise, like a half-hour of walking, can help you sleep better. But when you exercise is also important. Exercise is stimulating it's not something to do just before bedtime. 70. Instead, plan your exercise for early evening - about four to six hours before bedtime. This is the time it takes for your body' s metabolism (新陈代谢) and temperature to drop after exercise, which prepares your body for sleep.
