Jealousy is such a powerful emotion that at least one study has characterized it as the third leading cause of non-accidental homicide(杀人) in all cultures. In a recently published study, researchers experimented with dogs to see whether they, like humans, have the nature of jealousy.
In an experiment, the authors took 36 dogs---along with their owners---and observed the dogs’ behavior as their masters interacted with three non-living objects. One object was a children’s book, which they read aloud; another object was a plastic pumpkin lantern; and the third was a mechanical stuffed dog that gave out a bark when the owner pressed a button.
Former studies concluded that babies were probably capable of jealousy. In the experiment, their mothers showed attention to a life-like doll instead of their child, and other objects. The babies were reportedly more likely to respond with “negative” behavior if their mother turned to pay her attention to the doll.
In the dog experiment, authors instructed the dog owners to push the bark button on the stuffed dog’s head, and then speak to it sweetly, while ignoring their own dog. After that, they showed attention to the pumpkin lantern, and read the children’s book, while also ignoring their dog.
It is interesting to see the dogs were far more likely to act aggressively when their owners spoke to the stuffed dog than when they paid attention to the other objects. One-fourth of the dogs snapped at the stuffed dog, while only one dog snapped at the lantern or the book. The dogs were also more likely to push or touch their owners as they interacted with the mechanical dogs, and tried to get in between the owner and the stuffed dog more frequently than the other objects.
“One possibility is that jealousy developed in species of many young relying on the parents, the young compete for parental resources such as food, attention, care, and affection,” the authors wrote.

Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%, according to new UCL research carried out as part of the Public Health Research Centre.
The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, found a two-way relationship between depression and physical activity. People who increased their weekly activity were reported to have fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.
Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced odds of depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as "inactive", and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.
"Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between his twenties and forties who isn’t physically active became active 3 times per week, he would reduce his risks of depression by about 16%," said Dr Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.
Professor Mark,Director of the Public Health Research Centre, said:" Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggests it also has a positive effect on a person’s mental well-being. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy."
5. The underlined word "odds" in Paragraph 1 probably means "________".
A. benefits B. intervals
C. risks D. ages
6. According to the second paragraph, if people increase their weekly activity, ________.
A. their depressive symptoms will be fewer
B. their depressive symptoms will be more
C. they will become much younger
D. they will become more depressive
7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Dr Snehal thinks it is important to be both physically and mentally healthy.
B. The research shows men are more active in physical activity than women.
C. Adults who insist on physical activity will avoid depression completely.
D. Increasing physical activity can free people from depression in a way.
8. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To tell us a fun story about how to protect us against depression.
B. To introduce a research on the link between physical activity and depression.
C. To persuade readers to increase their weekly activity.
D. To describe the disadvantages of physical activity.

Ⅲ. 语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Do you like trying different things? Are you afraid 1 things that you think you’re bad at?
Last year I started to learn t’ at chi in order to improve my health and reduce my stress. It was something new for me, and I found it to be quite difficult, very 2 (difference) form anything I’d ever learned before. Small 3 (move) are important in t’ ai chi. I was used to being fast and active , 4 to learn t’ ai chi I had to learn patience. Now I’ve found that I’m a much more patient person than before, and t’ ai chi isn’t nearly as difficult as it 5 (be ) before.
We tend 6 (like) things we are good at — that’s normal. For example, I’m naturally very good at badminton and tennis, but I’m very had at anything 7 involves keeping balance, such as skating, skiing and gymnastics. T’ ai chi has 8 (great) improved my balance which has been a very good thing for me.
My point is that you can keep 9 (do) the things you know you’re good at and live in your comfort zone, or you can try something new. If you don’t try new things, you’ll never know what it would be like to try something new. Challenge 10 (you). It will definitely pay off in the end.

Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
【语篇解读】本文为议论文。通过实验结果,看看它们是否像人类一样具有嫉妒的本性。接着下文叙述了实验的过程及结果,并同时与婴儿对此的反应作了比较,从而得出狗也会嫉妒。
2. B【解析】推理判断题。第三段The babies were reportedly more likely to respond with “negative” behavior if their mother turned to pay her attention to the doll. 如果母亲转而关注玩具娃娃,他们更容易做出“消极” 的反应。分析选项(A. Smiling at the doll. 对娃娃微笑;B. Struggling and crying. 挣扎和哭泣;C. Always keeping quiet始终保持安静;D. Appearing scared显得害怕)可知B是一种消极对待的情感,故B项符 合题意。
4. D【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文在第一段最后一句. In a recently published study, researchers experimented with dogs to see whether they, like humans, have the nature of jealousy. 用狗做实验,看看它们 是否像人类一样具有嫉妒的本性。接着下文叙述了实验的过程及结果,并同时与婴儿对些的反应作了 比较,从而得出狗也会嫉妒,故选D项。

5. C【解析】猜测词义题。通读全文可知,本文主要是向读者介绍了一项科学研究成果,这项研究主要介绍 了身体锻炼与抑郁症之间的联系,即增加每周锻炼身体的次数,能降低人们患抑郁症的风险。而文章 第一句Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%,的意思
就是每周三次的锻炼可以降低抑郁的几率16%,即降低人们患抑郁症的风险。由此可得出"odds"的意 思为C。故选C项。
6. A【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段People who increased their weekly activity reported fewer depressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active可知,增加每周活动的人报告说有较 少的抑郁症状,但那些有更多的抑郁症状的是较不活跃的,特别是在年轻时。所以如果人们增加每周 锻炼身体的次数,就会有较少的抑郁症状,故选A.
7. D【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段Being physically active three times a week reduces the odds of being depressed by about 16%可知,每周锻炼三次,大约降低16%患抑郁症的可能性.所以增加每周锻炼身体 的次数,在某种程度上能降低人们患抑郁症的可能性,故选D。
8. B【解析】推理判断题.根据全文内容可知,研究人员记录了出生于1958的11135人直到50岁,在成年 期时定期记录抑郁症状和身体活动水平.他们发现每周增加活动减少抑郁症的几率为6%。如果一个在 二十多岁和四十多岁不太活动的成年人变为每周活动3次,他们会减少约16%的抑郁症风险。所以作 者主要通过比较和对比来介绍身体锻炼与抑郁症之间的联系,故选B。
