Detecting drugs used t be a special jb fr dgs, but nw a drug detectin team is welcming sme new clleagues—squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and apprved fr wrk respnsibilities by plice in Chngqing in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense f smell as they can smell fd under a ft (abut 30 centimeters) f snw. Being s small and quick, the “newcmers” are able t search fr drugs in places where dgs may nt be able t reach, such as in narrw spaces r n tp f packages stacked (堆) high in warehuses. The squirrels have been trained t use their claws t scratch at bxes in rder t catch their handlers’ attentin if they detect drugs, accrding t lcal Chngqing plice authrities.
“Our self-develped training system can be applied t the training f varius animals,” Yin Jin, a plice dg handler in Chngqing, tld Glbal Times, adding that the training has really gd results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Althugh the system is designed fr dgs, it can shw sme infrmatin n hw squirrels are trained as well.
Accrding t a research article published in the jurnal China Wrking Dg which details the prgram, cnditining (训练) the animals’ reflexes (反射) is the key factr. First, the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and d special gestures when they smell their target. Fr example, fr explsive detectin dgs, the handlers place pieces f clth with the smell f the explsives next t the dgs’ fd.
Next, the animals learn t search fr the target under varius cnditins. Frm a large number f luggage bags t peple walking in crwds, the handlers create different situatins t test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the lcatin f the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and ther treats. The animals are sn able t search fr targets spntaneusly (自动地), shwing that the cnditined reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessins in real-life scenaris.
28. What wuld the squirrels d nce they identify drugs?
A. Use their claws t take the drugs.
B. Enjy treats frm the handlers.
C. Scratch at the surface f packages.
D. Search fr drugs with the same smell.
29. What is ne advantage f using squirrels fr drug detectin mentined in the article?
A. Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B. Squirrels are better at identifying explsives than dgs.
C. Squirrels can access narrw spaces r high packages.
D. Squirrels requires less training than dgs fr drug detectin.
30. What is f vital imprtance fr the animals’ successful detectin?
A. Develping the immediate reactins f animals.
B. Familiarizing the animals with the target’s smell.
C. Ding special gestures when they smell their target.
D. Invlving practice sessins under different cnditins.

Peple wh had fallen int a shallw, early sleep were 2.7 times as likely t spt the hidden trick as peple wh stayed awake. Shallw sleepers were 5.8 times as likely t spt the trick as peple wh reached the deeper N2 stage.

“Are yu all right?” he asked.
I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Befre tears welled up in my eyes, I saw the smth, sympathetic lk in his eyes.
I held his hand as I struggled t get t my feet. He held my arm as I limped (一瘸一拐地走) t the nearby bus stp and sat n the bench.
“My name is Mike,” he said with cncern. “That was quite a fall yu tk, and yu really need t see a dctr.”
“This bus ges past the hspital,” I said quickly, pinting t the bus sign abve me.
Mike paused, and a lk f sudden realizatin crssed his face. He pulled ut his small white cup and dumped all the change int his hand.
“I knw yu dn’t have any change n yu,” he said, “I think this is just enugh fr yu t take the bus.”

Detecting drugs used t be a special jb fr dgs, but nw a drug detectin team is welcming sme new clleagues—squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and apprved fr wrk respnsibilities by plice in Chngqing in February.
Squirrels have a sharp sense f smell as they can smell fd under a ft (abut 30 centimeters) f snw. Being s small and quick, the “newcmers” are able t search fr drugs in places where dgs may nt be able t reach, such as in narrw spaces r n tp f packages stacked (堆) high in warehuses. The squirrels have been trained t use their claws t scratch at bxes in rder t catch their handlers’ attentin if they detect drugs, accrding t lcal Chngqing plice authrities.
“Our self-develped training system can be applied t the training f varius animals,” Yin Jin, a plice dg handler in Chngqing, tld Glbal Times, adding that the training has really gd results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Althugh the system is designed fr dgs, it can shw sme infrmatin n hw squirrels are trained as well.
Accrding t a research article published in the jurnal China Wrking Dg which details the prgram, cnditining (训练) the animals’ reflexes (反射) is the key factr. First, the animals are familiarized with the target’s smell and d special gestures when they smell their target. Fr example, fr explsive detectin dgs, the handlers place pieces f clth with the smell f the explsives next t the dgs’ fd.
Next, the animals learn t search fr the target under varius cnditins. Frm a large number f luggage bags t peple walking in crwds, the handlers create different situatins t test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the lcatin f the target, the animals are then rewarded with snacks and ther treats. The animals are sn able t search fr targets spntaneusly (自动地), shwing that the cnditined reflex has been built in them. Their training ends with practice sessins in real-life scenaris.
28. What wuld the squirrels d nce they identify drugs?
A. Use their claws t take the drugs.
B. Enjy treats frm the handlers.
C. Scratch at the surface f packages.
D. Search fr drugs with the same smell.
29. What is ne advantage f using squirrels fr drug detectin mentined in the article?
A. Squirrels can detect drugs hidden under the earth.
B. Squirrels are better at identifying explsives than dgs.
C. Squirrels can access narrw spaces r high packages.
D. Squirrels requires less training than dgs fr drug detectin.
30. What is f vital imprtance fr the animals’ successful detectin?
A. Develping the immediate reactins f animals.
B. Familiarizing the animals with the target’s smell.
C. Ding special gestures when they smell their target.
D. Invlving practice sessins under different cnditins.
31. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?

The twilight (朦胧的) time between full wakefulness and being sund asleep may be packed with creative ptential, In a new experiment, peple wh went int a light sleep were better prblem slvers later.
It is said that the famus inventr, Thmas Edisn, used t fall asleep in a chair hlding tw steel balls. As he ndded ff, the balls fell int metal pans. The resulting nise wke him. Then, he culd write dwn his inventive ideas befre he fell int a deep sleep and frgt them.
Researchers tested Edisn’s methd f cultivating creativity with 103 healthy peple. Vlunteers came t the lab t slve a tricky number prblem. They were asked t change a string f numbers int a shrter sequence (序列). They were tld t fllw tw simple rules. What the vlunteers weren’t tld was that there was an easy trick t d this task. The secnd number in the sequence wuld always be the crrect final number, t. Once discvered, this trick dramatically cut the slving time.
After ding this task 60 times, the vlunteers earned a 20-minute break. This dwntime was spent in a quiet, dark rm.

Abut half f the participants stayed awake. Twenty-fur fell asleep and stayed in the shallw, twilight stage f sleep called N1. Furteen thers prgressed t N2, a deeper stage f sleep.
After their rest, participants returned t their number prblem. The researchers saw a clear difference between the grups. Peple wh had fallen int a shallw, early sleep were 2.7 times as likely t spt the hidden trick as peple wh stayed awake. Shallw sleepers were 5.8 times as likely t spt the trick as peple wh reached the deeper N2 stage.

It was mid-December, and the temperature was a chilly minus 20-degree Celsius. I walked with my head dwn, passing the hmeless beggars and ignring all f them as usual. Then I saw him, sitting against a building, wrapped in thin clth, hlding a white cup in frnt f him. I heard his shaky, pitiful vice target me as I sped past him.
“Spare sme change?” he asked. “I’ll appreciate it.”

“Are yu all right?” he asked.
I knew immediately this was the man I had just rushed past. Befre tears welled up in my eyes, I saw the smth, sympathetic lk in his eyes.
I held his hand as I struggled t get t my feet. He held my arm as I limped (一瘸一拐地走) t the nearby bus stp and sat n the bench.
“My name is Mike,” he said with cncern. “That was quite a fall yu tk, and yu really need t see a dctr.”
“This bus ges past the hspital,” I said quickly, pinting t the bus sign abve me.
Mike paused, and a lk f sudden realizatin crssed his face. He pulled ut his small white cup and dumped all the change int his hand.
“I knw yu dn’t have any change n yu,” he said, “I think this is just enugh fr yu t take the bus.”
