【正文】 aid that there would be a race and the winner would win many prizes. The race started from the bear’s house. From there, the runners had to cross the river. But most of the animals could not both run fast and swim fast. So they didn’t kn ow what to do. Shiny and Smily made a plan. Shiny ran, while smily was sitting on his back. He and other animals, like the deer, reached the river side at the same time. But they saw the swift water and stood there because they were worried. None of them liked the idea of crossing the river. Smily quickly got into the water and Shiny sat on his back. Smily started swimming. Soon they reached the other side of the river. Shiny got down from Smily’s back and Smily climbed on Shiny’s back again. Shiny ran fast. They reached the finish line first. “Both of them are the winners.” The president of the jungle said, “Shiny and Smily helped each other during the race and they won.

Teamwork wins D Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test if they 9 can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert(專家 ) in humananimal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animalassisted（輔助） study on the effect of roboticdogs on old people’s depression ( 抑郁 ) , physical activity, and life satisfaction. In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data(數(shù)據(jù) ) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner. “I talk to him all the time, and he responds （做出反應(yīng)） to my voice,” says a seventyyearold lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind.” The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over（比較） live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding. “At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate( 與 ?? 相關(guān) ) to the robotic dog, because it was made of metal” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could bee a morevaluable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure(血壓 ), oxygen levels（含氧量） or heart rhythms(心律 ). AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate(刺激 ) older people’s minds.” 62. The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ st udy is to _____________. A. understand humananimal relationship B. make lonely old people’s life better C. find the causes of old people’s loneliness D. improve the animalassisted research 63. In the research, the old people are asked to _____________. A. note the activities of AIBOs B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks C. record their feelings and activity D. study the collected information 64.

A. cure certain diseases B. keep old people active C. change older people’s ideas D. look more like real dogs 第二部分 非選擇題 (共 60分 ) 五、詞匯運(yùn)用（共 10題；每小題 1分，計(jì) 10分）（每空一詞） Turkey a _(歐洲 ) country? ’t give the babies any food.
