【正文】 a series of studies on house mice for a number of years, began by recording the highpitched(聲調(diào)高的 ) sounds male mice made the moment they sensed a female mouse around. What they discovered when they played them back to females was that the ladies could tell between those made by their brothers and the ones made by unrelated males. Just like human, they tended to ignore the ones made by their brothers. The researchers then took the experiment one step further and analyzed the squeaks. To their surprise they discovered that while the squeaks sounded similar, they each had a different “tune”. The biggest surprise of all was that the mice could even learn tunes from each other. However, not all scientists agree with this finding. Some like Kurt Hammer, a scientist at the German Primate Center believe that the test sample was too small to make such a conclusion. The researcher?s next plan to test if the females care about the quality of the “song”. In some bird species, males that can sing the most plex tunes seem to get the most attention. So why do we care whether mice can sing or not? Clearly, since they are being used as laboratory testers, it will help us make advances in human speech disorders like the ones found in people suffering from autism(自閉癥 ). 29.

They wanted to buy lottery tickets(彩票 ). The tickets cost only $ each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million .That was the second largest lottery jackpot （積累獎金） in history. More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to 80． The chance of winning was one in million, but that little chance certainly didn?t affect ticket sales. In the last few days before the drawing, tickets were sold at the unbelievable rate of 500 per second. Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to have a piece of the action. Others say the lottery is a stock market for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they?ll probably never have. But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized gambling. Some critics note that most people who play are poor and may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit. Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would otherwise have to e from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice, under the name of social progress. Whether you regard stock lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme popularity with many Americans. 25． Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Buying lotteries may help people bee wealthy overnight. B. Politicians like lotteries because they don?t have to pay extra taxes. C. The profits from lotteries are usually used for the public. D.
