A new study n 26 chimpanzees（黑猩猩）frm zs arund the wrld fund that chimpanzees can recgnize family members and lng lst friends even after decades f separatin.
The participating chimpanzees were given juice while staring at a screen flashing side by side phts f ther chimps. One animal frm each pair f phts had lived with the grup fr at least a year, while the ther was a stranger. An eye-tracking camera recrded where the participants were lking and fr hw lng. Data shwed their eyes rested lnger n familiar grupmates, suggesting “rich recgnitin f each ther.”
There is als evidence that they became mre intent when shwn a picture f a chimpanzee with whm they’d had mre psitive interactins, cmpared with cnflicting relatinships.
In the mst impressive case, a 46-year-ld chimpanzee named Luise repeatedly demnstrated “intense” attentin upn seeing phtgraphs f her sister Lretta and nephew Erin, whm she hadn’t seen in mre than 26 years. The team said Luise’s results represent the lngest-lasting scial memry dcumented in any nn-human animal t date.
“We tend t see urselves as unique special creatures with incredible intellectual（智力的）capacities that are very different frm ther animals n earth,” said Laura Simne Lewis, a pstdctral fellw in Berkeley’s psychlgy department and lead authr f the study.”This study is shwing us hw similar we are t chimpanzees.”She nted that the findings supprt the thery that lng-term scial memry in humans and mdern day chimps has cme frm “ur last cmmn ancestr that lived smewhere between 5 t 7 millin years ag” wh als likely had lng-term scial memry.
Nw that they have definitive evidence that these endangered species pssess lng-term scial memries, researchers have mre questins, including whether chimpanzees miss the individuals they’re n lnger with, especially their friends and family. “Our study desn’t determine they are ding this, but it raises questins abut the pssibility that they may have the ability t d s,” Lewis said.

C．Hesitant.D．Emtinal.
34．Why is the example f Luise in paragraph 4 mentined?
A．T stress chimps are as intelligent as human beings.
B．T explain where chimps’ scial memry cmes frm.
C．T better demnstrate the chimps’ memry length.
D．T further prve the existence f chimps’ scial memry.
35．What will the research team mst prbably cntinue t explre?
A．Whether chimps feel strng emtins t their lng lst friends.
B．Hw t strengthen chimps’ lng-term scial memries.

Befre mvies had vices, they had music. Frm silent films t tday’s cmputer-generated nes, film cmpsers use the scre t help tell the stry.
Music Manipulates（影响）Emtins
The mst bvius rle music plays in mvies is in manipulating the audience’s emtins and bringing them the desired feelings . 36 Philip Ball, authr f The Music Instinct, says ur brain is brn t respnd in emtinal ways. He says, “Our respnse t certain kinds f nise is smething s strng in us that we can’t switch it ff. Film cmpsers knw that and use it t shrtcut the lgical part f ur brain and get straight t the emtinal centers.”
Music Gets Us in the Md
The first bars f music in a mvie usually establish its style. The lw sund f an rgan cmmunicates a different atmsphere than light electrnica playing a quick tune. 37 The music telegraphs whether smething is serius, adventurus, jyful r amusing.
Music Intrduces Peple, Places and Things
Music helps viewers understand the stry, a trick filmmakers picked up frm peras, etc. 38 A recent example f this can be fund in The Lrd f the Rings trilgy, in which, quick music is played fr the Hbbits, while the fellwship gets rmantically heric music.
39
Mvies rely n music t help establish time perid, lcatin, cultural heritage r scial standing. Using Barque-style music sets a scene in the 18th century. Back t the Future used Huey Lewis’ The Pwer f Lve fr its “present day” scenes and such sngs as Earth Angel and Jhnny B．Gde fr its scenes in the past. 40 Fr example, music that audience thinks t be Russian can set smething in Mscw even if the music is actually American in rigin.
A．Music places us in time and space.
B．Music desn’t have t be real fr this t be effective.
C．Music enables peple t frget abut time and space.
D．Cmpsers use music t predict and cnnect the stry.
E．Film cmpsers create theme music fr characters, situatins r places.
F．The selectin f certain sunds creates feelings f happiness, fear r even panic.
G．Film cmpsers carefully chse instruments and sunds t set a md fr each scene.
