22、t living relatives are like humans, scientists find. These findings could shed light on the evolution of altruism in humans. Previously, a belief was widely held that human altruism evolved only after humans split from their ape cousins about 6 million years ago. In recent years, however, research h
23、as revealed just how much chimpanzees have in common with us. They can hunt with spears,play with dollsandmourn their partners death.Most of the earlier studies had presented the apes with a complex implement that helped them deliver food to themselves or others, often so complicated that the experi
24、ments tested tool skills rather than social tendencies, De Waal told Live Science. Ours is the first study that uses no such implement at all.In addition to using complex food-delivery systems, past experiments often placed the chimpanzees so far apart that they might not have realized how their act
25、ions benefited others. In these new, simplified experiments, two apes were housed next to each other with a screen through which they could see each other. Then, one chimpanzee had to choose between two differently colored tokens (币) from a bin, one of which represented a pro-social (亲社会的) option, t
26、he other a selfish option. The pro-social option would cause both chimpanzees to receive a piece of banana wrapped in paper. The selfish option only rewarded the ape who made the choice.In a study with seven adult female chimps placed into various pairs, the scientists found all the apes showed a de
27、finite preference for the pro-social option. For me, the most important finding is that like us, chimpanzees take into account the needs and wishes of others, researcher Victoria Horner, said.The chimpanzees behaved especially altruistically toward partners who either patiently waited or gently remi
28、nded them that they were there by drawing attention to themselves. They were less likely to reward partners who pressured through making a fuss, begging persistently or spitting water at them. This is opposite to a long-standing view that the chimpanzees only share food under pressure.51. The word a
29、ltruism (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to _.A. selfishness B. selflessnessC. willingness D. reluctance52.

Evolution History of Altruism in Humans B. Similarities between Chimps and MankindC. Chimps Do Show Selfless Behavior D. C
31、himps Only Share Food under PressureBEnergy independence has a nice ring to it. Doesnt it? If you think so, youre not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been p
32、artly responsible for kicking off the great recession.“Energy independence” and its rhetorical (修辞的) companion “energy security” are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely though through. What is it we want independence from, exactly?Most people would probably say that they want to be independe
33、nt from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that old from elsewhere.The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle（涓涓细流）of biofuel（生物燃料）available, and more may become available, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruc
34、tion.Second, Americans have basically decided that they dont really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental
35、protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do
36、, we benefit. And although you dont read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on
37、 that steady flow to maintain its economy. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we obtain massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.54. Wha

41、ted on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman f
42、rom the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain. Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old
43、daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room.
