It has been with me every place V ve lived since I left home at 18 in 1977.

   Dad made it: Carved out of several pieces of wood glued together,shaped and sanded so smooth,it looked as if it had always been a single,solid piece. It was eventually to be a music box; the top flips (翻) up and the inside is hollow(空的). Dad could — and

over the years did — make just about everything anyone can make out of wood.

   He gave me the little man in the bathtub a few weeks after he told me in a letter that he and my mother were divorcing. He apologized for cruel words of days past and said he would understand if I never wanted to see him again. I cried while reading that. I was much closer to my mother,but how could Dad even think that? It never occurred to me to cut my father out of my life.

   Dad was an intelligent,creative and talented man,but he was also deeply insecure,something I didn't fully appreciate until years later. We both matured,and our relationship as adults was far better than when I was younger.

   And he was a fun,loving grandfather whom my sons adored. Dad died in 2013 of cancer. While I will forever treasure it,the little man in the bathtub will never be finished; it was supposed to play “I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles."

   When I watched wild baboons(狒狒) in Africa,it seemed as if they ate everything. But did they really? They have simple stomachs. If baboons eat foods that have a lot of fiber, they get very little nutrition from that food,and then they don't have room for more nutritious foods. Baboons need foods with a lot of nutrients. Baboons should be picky eaters.

   In the 1990s,a team of primatologists(靈長類 動物學(xué)家) solved this riddle. By watching wild baboons,the team of primatologists found that the monkeys ate whatever they could find as long as the foods had a lot of protein and fat. Baboons avoided foods with lots of fiber. Many foods had high protein or high fat,and many foods had low fiber. So it looked as if baboons ate everything.

   Research on baboon foods made me wonder how baboons found their foods. I knew baboons were smart. For their size,they have big brains,and they remember a lot of things. Even though some baboon troops have more than 100 monkeys,baboons easily remember their friends and enemies. I reasoned that baboons might memorize the locations of some foods.

   For 18 months I lived in a tent in Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. I camped next to the river. I studied only m往le baboons because females have babies,and I didn't want to scare the little ones. Each morning,I picked a different male monkey. Everywhere he went,I followed. Every time he ate,I wrote down the food type and how much he ate.

   I discovered that baboons did not find baobab trees(猴面包樹) randomly. Instead,the monkeys walked quickly and directly to baobab trees. The same was not true for other foods. Baboons used more random patterns to find elephant dung (糞便) , young antelopes,and grasses. Sometimes they found these foods on their way to the baobab trees!

6. What does the underlined part “this riddle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

   A. Where wild baboons live.

   B. How wild baboons find foods.

   C. If wild baboons eat everything.

   D. If wild baboons have simple stomachs.

7. Wild baboons enjoy foods with .

   A. lots of protein and fiber

    B. lots of protein and fat

   C. lots of fat and fiber

   D. lots of fiber only

8. What do we know about wild baboons?

   A. They have few friends.

   B. They are not very smart.

   C. They have many enemies.

   D. They have a good memory.

9. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?

   A. How the author studied wild baboons.

   B. The living environment of wild baboons.

   C. How female wild baboons give birth to babies.

   D. Differences between male and female wild baboons.

10. It can be inferred that wild baboons know the locations of.

   A. grasses   B. baobab trees

   C. elephant dung   D. young antelopes

            Four habits of highly emotionally intelligent people 

   It has increasingly become accepted that emotional intelligence (EI) is an important factor in our success and happiness,not only at work,but in our relationships and all areas of our lives. 1 Here are four habits that people with high El have:

   1. They focus on the positive. While not ignoring the bad news,emotionally intelligent people do not spend a lot of time and energy focusing on problems. 2 These people focus on what they are able to do and what is within their control.

   2. They surround themselves with positive people. People with a lot of El don't spend a lot of time listening to complainers. They are aware that those people are not helpful to them. 3 You can spot these folks as they tend to smile and laugh a great deal and attract other positive people. Their warmth,openness,and caring attitude let others look upon them as more trustworthy.

   3. They look for ways to make life more fun,happy,and interesting. Whether it is in their workplace,at home,or with friends,high El people know what makes them happy and look for opportunities to expand their enjoyment. 4 Therefore,they do whatever they can to brighten someone else's day.

   4. 5 People with high El are so busy thinking of possibilities in the future that they don't spend a lot of time worrying about things that didn't work out in the past. They take the learning from their past failures and apply it to their actions in the future.

   A. They are willing to let go of the past.

   B. They know how they can use their energy wisely.

   C. So what sets emotionally intelligent people apart?

   D. They receive pleasure and satisfaction from seeing others happy.

   E. So they always spend time with people that look at the bright side of life.

   F. Instead,they use the incident to create awareness of how to not let it happen again.

   G. Rather,they look at what is positive in a situation and look for solutions to a problem.
