Feng and Meng both studied at No. 37 Middle School in Taiyuan, Shanxi province. They invented a new kind of Braille reader. Their work won the first prize in a national competition which tries to nurture creative (创新) thinking by asking students to solve social problems. The invention was also given a national patent. When connected (连接) to a computer, their Braille reader can turn words into raised dots (凸起的点). Blind people can read by touching the dots, which are magnets (磁铁). This is the first Braille reader that uses magnets.“We found that today’s Braille readers are very difficult to use and expensive,” Feng said. “So, we decided to invent a user-friendly one, especially for young blind children from grades 1 to 3. Moreover, it only costs about 2000 yuan.”After making their first reader model, Feng and Meng visited a school for the blind to get advice and improved it to meet the students’ needs, like changing the size of the screen and the space between the dots. “We hope the invention will be popularized in the future to help those blind people wh o can’t buy the Braille reader. now,” Meng told Taiyuan News after the visit.36.

Some people said that most monkeys were cleverer than most dogs. What’s more, if all dogs seemed unhappy when they did something bad, some people believed that dogs learned such an action to make their owners happy. It doesn’t mean that dogs understand why their owners might be angry. It doesn’t mean that animals can think about the future.③Now, however, it appears that chimpanzees and monkeys may be able to think about the future. Santino is a chimpanzee and he lives at a zoo in Sweden. He is famous for his bad mood. Santino doesn’t like being looked at by visitors and he often throws stones at them. Before visitors walked into the zoo, he must have decided that he needed to be prepared for visiting days. He began collecting stones so that he would be fully ready to throw them when people came to see him. The interesting thing was that Santino would only collect stones when he thought visitors might come. In winter when the zoo was closed, he didn’t collect them again.④Santino’s action is a clear example of an animal planning for the future. It’s also an example to show “scientific” beliefs come from facts rather than opinions (观点). It seems likely that within ten years, we shall have a completely different view of animal intelligence (智慧).41. What did scientists think of animals before?A．They could think about the future. B．They couldn’t understand their owners.C．They couldn’t know t he right and wrong. D．They could share people’s happiness andsadness.42. Why does Santino collect many stones?A．Because he wants to build a wall. B．Because he likes to play with stones.C．Because the keeper asks him to do so. D．Because he wants to throw them atvisitors.43.
