From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a very dangerous game with its environment, a game in which it must make decision—a matter of life or death.
Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning”, which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime. Genetic learning is learning by a species—animals of the same kind—as a whole, and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way. However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be, the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game. Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next, it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.
In the great majority of animals, their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with. That is why animals can survive.
73．The animal’s life will come to an end ____________ .
A．if the animal makes a wrong decision B．if the animal plays a dangerous game C．when the animal attacks its enemy D．when the animal runs too slowly 74．Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because ____________ .
A．each generation has its own way of learning B．their environments change all the time
C．they can act reasonably on their own D．it takes their whole life to learn
75．When the environment doesn’t change much, __________________.
A．animals cannot act in a right way
B．genetic learning is less important for animals C．individual learning plays a less important role D．animals cannot get over problems on their own
76．Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on _______________ .
A．their natural action pattern with their own experience B．the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime C．their experience in particular environments D．the knowledge passed on by their parents

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. You should not be upset if your English friends don’t invite you home. It doesn’t mean they don’t like you！
Dinner parties usually start between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. and end at about 11 p.m. Ask your host what time you should arrive. It’s polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks. Do you want to be extrapolite? Say how much you like the room, or the pictures on the wall. But remember—it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other side. They eat with their guests.
You’ll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you’ll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It’s polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short“Thank you”letter. British and American people like to say“Thank you, thank you, thank you”all the time!
