Now we know differently. Irene Pepperberg began studying bird intelligence. She bought a parrot in the pet show. Then she told Alex to communicate Alex liked to talk! He learned almost one hundred English words. He learned to count to six. He even knew what the numbers meant. He worked hard to say words correctly. Alex learned shapes and colors, and could tell them apart Dr Pepperberg bought other birds. She and her workers taught them, too. During the training, Alex did an amazing thing. He corrected these birds when they didn't say the words clearly enough!
Monkeys also talk to one another. They use sounds to tell other monkeys who they are and warn one another of danger. Scientists who studied monkey sounds learned their warning sounds. They found that pyow means “leopard(豹)”. Hack sounds followed by pyow means an eagle(鹰)is nearby. People watched the monkeys. When male monkeys made the sounds, the female monkeys listened. If they were in a safe place, they stayed put. If they were in a dangerous place, they moved

My name is Shawki. When I was in the third grade, I watched a video that recreated the discovery of King Tutankhamen's' tomb(墓). remember an archaeologist(考古学家) looking through a narrow hole in the tomb with a candle. A workman asked what he could see: "Wonderful things!" Carter said. From that moment, knew what I wanted to do with my life
Today, I'm lucky to work as an archaeologist I-study the lives of people who lived in Egypt's Nile Delta. It's exciting work. Sometimes you find something that was buried three thousand years ago. Holding a piece of history is an amazing feeling.
So I decided what I wanted to be at the age of nine, and I made it happen. Seems easy, right? Not quite. The road wasn't easy. I did my studies-university, then a PhD. But along the way I was told many things: I was too young, I don't have any experience, I should get married and have kids. also needed money, so applied for six grants(补助金). The first five replies got said no. Six months later, the last reply came: This time it was yes. Finally, I could start my own digging.
For anyone thinking about a career, I would say: never give up. If you want to do something, keep trying. If people tell you no, use that-it will push you! At the beginning, it hurts. But the next no hurts a little less. It makes you stronger and actually helps you.
Second, focus on your goals. And I stress yours. You don't have to follow other people. If they say something has never been done make it happen. You may be the first to do it! There are always challenges, but you overcome them in the end.
66. Which of the following happened first?
A. Shawki applied for grant. B. Shawki went to university.
C. Shawki got married and had kids. D. Shawki decided to be an archeologist.
67. Which of the following is NOT the challenge Shawki faced?
A. She needed to take care of her family.
B. She was too young to start digging.
C. It was difficult to get money for digging.
D. Others don’t agree with her career choice
68. What' 's the purpose(目的) of the first paragraph?
A. To explain the challenges Shawki faced at school.
B. To describe what Shawki found inside a tomb.
C. To explain how Shawki became interested in archeology
D. To describe what Shawki saw from the video.
69. What does "stress" mean in the last paragraph?
A. To introduce a new idea.
B. To give a piece of advice.
C. To make it clear that something is important.
D. A feeling you have when your life in difficult.
70. What could be the title for the reading?
A. Following a Childhood Dream B. An Exciting Job
C. The Nile Delta's' Hidden Treasure D. Day in the Life of an Archeologist
