Identical twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adpted as babies and raised by different cuples.When the tw Jims finally met at age 39,they discvered they had plenty in cmmn.Bth were 182 centimeters tall and weighed 82 kilgrams.They had the same smile and the same vice.When psychlgist Thmas Buchard Jr.invited the Jim twins t his lab,his clleagues fund it very hard t tell them apart.

They had bth married wmen named Linda,and then divrced them.They had bth enjyed making things with wd,suffered severe headaches,and admitted t leaving lve ntes arund the huse fr their wives.They had s much in cmmn that it seemed unlikely these were just cincidences.
The Jim twins were just ne f 137 sets f separated twins Buchard tested.When they cmpared the twins'IQ scres,Buchard and his team reached a surprising cnclusin.

Hwever,genes can't cntrl everything,argues geneticist Danielle Reed,wh als studies twins.Reed's research shws that,thugh nthing can truly change ur DNA, envirnmental differences that a child experiences befre birth and in their first year can smetimes affect the way the DNA behaves.This can make even identical twins int vastly different peple.“What I like t say is that Mther Nature writes sme things in pencil and sme things in pen,"she explains."Things written in pen yu can't change.That's DNA. But things written in pencil yu can.”
28.What was the main purpse f Thmas Buchard Jr.'s study f the Jim twins?
A.T prve physical similarities are purely genetic.

Fxes are knwn fr being cunning and resurceful,but a study suggests anther surprising talent.Research frm the Czech Republic(捷克共和国)indicates these creatures may use the Earth's magnetic field when hunting.The study,led by Jarslav Červený, tracked wild red fxes fr ver tw years,recrding nearly 600 hunting leaps by 84 fxes. Researchers fund the animals mstly jumped in a nrtheasterly directin,regardless f the time f day,seasn,r weather cnditins.This preferred leaping directin resulted in a much higher kill rate,with fxes finding success n 13%f their nrtheasterly punces(猛 扑)n their prey.
The results push Červený t cnclude that fxes are able t detect subtle variatins in the Earth's magnetic field,which lean dwnward in the nrthern hemisphere.As a fx creeps clser t its target,it listens fr sunds frm the animals it is hunting.The sweet spt ccurs when the angle at which sund reaches its ears matches the slpe f the Earth's magnetic field.Essentially,the fx uses the magnetic field as a "rangefinder"t estimate the distance t its prey,thereby increasing the pssibility f successfully capturing a meal.
The ptential use f magnetism t imprve hunting ability is nt the nly surprising aspect f the fx's cmplex behavir.The furry creatures are als knwn fr their wide range f vcal expressins.They can prduce a surprising range f sunds —up t 40 in ttal!The mst well-knwn fx vcalizatin is the scream-like hwl,but they als use

It was a bitterly cld winter evening,and the wind hwled thrugh the empty streets.
Sarah,a high schl student,pulled her cat tighter as she hurried hme frm schl.The sun had already set,and the dim streetlights cast lng shadws n the snw-cvered pavement
As she turned the crner,a faint whimper(微弱的声音)caught her attentin.She stpped and lked arund,her breath frming little cluds in the freezing air.Then she saw it —a small,trembling puppy curled up near a frzen puddle.Its glden fur was matted with dirt,and its ribs were visible under its thin cat.The pr creature lifted its head weakly,its dark eyes filled with fear and exhaustin.
Sarah's heart ached.She had always lved animals,but her parents had strict rules— n pets,n exceptins.They believed pets were t much respnsibility fr a busy student. Still,the sight f the helpless puppy made her hesitate."I can't just leave yu here,"she murmured,kneeling beside it.The puppy shivered vilently,and withut thinking,Sarah tk ff her scarf and gently wrapped it.
With the puppy cradled(轻抱)in her arms,she quickened her pace tward hme.Her mind raced—what wuld her parents say?Wuld they make her take it back utside?But the puppy's warmth against her chest gave her curage.She knew she culdn't abandn it.
When she finally reached her huse,she tk a deep breath and pened the dr.Her mther,wh was setting the dinner table,turned arund —and frze.“Sarah!”she gasped, staring at the small bundle in her daughter's arms."What n earth is that?”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Sarah held the puppy tighter,her heart racing as she waited fr her mther's reactin.
That evening,Sarah's whle family fund excuses t visit the garage (车库).
