We often say that intelligence (智力) means being able to solve problems. Sometimes animals seem able to do this. 85 , dogs and cats often find their way home from long distance. To do this, they have to use their intelligence. They have to remember and think. But many birds find their way over long distances, too. They 86 thousands of miles every year when they move from cold to warm countries. We do not know how they do this, but we know they do not use their intelligence. They do not remember places and directions and then make decisions. 87 birds are able to make these journeys without help as soon as they can fly. They are born with this ability. This is not intelligence. We call this \本能).
Often we can not be sure whether an animal is 88 intelligently. When a dog hears a strange noise, it barks. This is instinct. It can not stop itself from doing this. It does not 89_know why it is doing this. But suppose a house is on fire and the dog barks outside its
master's bedroom until he wakes up. Is the dog using its intelligence? Is it solving the problem by waking its master or is it simply barking instinctively because it is afraid? Often we can not be sure.
Many animals, however, can be taught to solve problems, especially when they are given 90_. Rats have been taught to touch a key .to get food. Animals in circuses have been taught to do all sorts of tricks to amuse the audience. In all these cases, we may say that an animal is using intelligence. This may be thought of as a 91 kind of intelligence.

I once believed that a friend is a friend all the way. Now I have changed my ideas about friendships.
Friends of convenience
They can be the people who live next door or the mothers of our children's closest friends. Friends of convenience are convenient i92 .They'll help us when we need it. They'll look after our cats whenwe go on holidays. But we don't ever get too close or tell too much. We keep our public face and emotional distance. That m 93 we'll talk about being overweight but not about being sad or disappointed. However, people still feel these friendships valuable to them.
Special-interest friends
These friendships aren't deeply personal or emotional. Their value is that they can s 94 interest, so we may have an office friend, a tennis friend, or even a shopping friend.
Historical friends
We all have a friend who knew us when ... maybe we were back in the second grade of . t primary school, when our family lived in that two-room flat downtdwn. He or she was the first, the only friend we told our s 95 to. The years have gone by, and we have gone different ways. We have 1 96 in common now, but we're still a personal part of each other's past. We know how we looked before our teeth were straightened, and our getting together reminds us of an earlier part of ourselves,which is important and n 97 lost.
Cross-generational friends
These are friendships that form across generations. I have in my own life a p 98 friend, a woman of 65, who is wise, who listens well, and who represents not only an ideal mother to me but also the person I'd like to be when I grow up.
Best friends, I believe, totally trust, support and love each other.

You have waited 45 minutes for the valuable 10 minutes* break between classes. But when the bell for the next class rings, you can't believe how 85 time has passed.
If you are familiar with this scene, you'll know how time flies when you are having fun. Now scientists have thought over a reason why this is the case. Scans（扫描仪）have shown that patterns of activity in the brain 86 according to how we focus on (专心于) a task. When we feel 87 we concentrate（专心于） more on how time is passing. And this makes our brains think the clock is ticking more slowly.
In an experiment carried out by a French laboratory. 12 volunteers watched an image while researchers monitored their brain activity.
The volunteers were told to first concentrate on 88 an image appeared for, then focus on the color of the image, and thirdly, study both duration(持续时间) and color. The results showed that 89 was more active when the volunteers paid attention to more subjects.
It is thought that if the brain is focusing on many aspects of a task, it has to spread its resources, and pays 90 attention to the clock. Therefore, time passes without us really noticing it, and seems to go quickly. If the brain is not so active, it concentrates its 91 energies on monitoring the passing of time. As a result, time seems to drag.
Next time you feel bored in class, perhaps you should pay more attention to what the teacher is saying!
85. A) slowly B) quickly C) terribly D) foolishly
86. A) change B) develop C) grow D) stop 87. A) interested B) bored C) excited D) active
88. A) how often B) how soon C) how long D) how fast 89. A) the time B) the experiment C) the clock D) the brain
90. A) no B) more C) some D) less 91. A) enough B) full C) right D) proper

In the United States, young people generally enjoy much freedom. It is probably true that nowadays young Americans have more freedom t 92 they ever had. It is not really clear whether all of this freedom is a good thing with respect to dating relationships (关系). Dating has changed greatly in recent years.
According to traditional dating ways in the United States, much of the responsibility for a date falls on the young man. The young man must first call the girl he w 93 to date early in a week. Most girls in traditional dating relationships expect to get a telephone call f 94 a young man by Wednesday. Most dates take place on weekends. Fridays and Saturdays nights are p 95 for dates. The young man must ask the girl out and suggest the things that they might do. Usually it is the young man who pays for all of the evening's activities.
Some young people in the United States, e 96 college students, do not go out on traditional dates. Instead, they go out on group dates. This means that small groups of young people go out with each other. All of the people in the group are usually friends, but some in the group may not know before.
As a result, every person pays for his or her expenses. This means that the girls must pay for their admission(入场) tickets for the movies, for a cup of coffee, or for a _ 97 else that they spend on during the date.
The group is very different from the traditional date. Young people in the Unite States today enjoy both kinds of these dating ways. Traditional dating ways give young people a chance to get to know one another better. Group dates give young people a chance to know many other young people and to have a more relaxed evening. Both kinds of dates have their a 98 . The group date is really a new idea among young people. It seems to be a wonderful for the reasons described above.
