St. Valentine’s StoryNew Words in the Storypriest牧师Claudius 克劳迪亚斯ceremony 典礼，仪式jailer看守监狱的⼈，狱卒Rome 罗马volunteer ⾃愿behead斩⾸，砍…的头St. Valentine’s StoryValentine was a priest living in Rome during the third century. At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. He wanted to have a big army and expected men to volunteer to join. However many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. This made Claudius very angry. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius banned marriage even engagement from his empire. But Valentine would keep on performing marriage ceremonies secretly. He was caught by the soldiers at a wedding, and was thrown into prison and beheaded.Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his jailer when he was in prison. Before he was taken to his death on February 14, 269 A.D., he signed a farewell message to her, “Love from your Valentine.” That note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine’s Da y.Questions and Answers1. When did Valentine live?(He was living during the third century.)2. What was Valentine?(He was a priest.)3. What did he do to help young lovers?(He kept performing marriage ceremonies secretly for the young lovers in s pite of Claudius’s ban.)4. When was he killed?(He was killed on February 14, 269 A.D..)5. Is there any day like Saint Valentine’s Day in China?(The seventh day of the seventh lunar month is the Chinese Lovers’ Day. The most popular story mentioned in connection with this festiv al is that of “the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl”.)II. Valentine Traditions- In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. “Wear your heart o n your sleeve” now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.- If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.- In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant “You unlock my heart!”III. Birds and LoveEuropeans also believe that Feb. 14th is the day when birds begin to choose their mates. Chaucer, Shakespeare, and numerous other poets mention the tradition in their works. In accordance with the tradition, it is believed that a young girl will be able to tell what type of man she will marry based upon the first bird tha t she sees on Valentine’s Da y.- If a young girl sees a blackbird, she will marry a clergyman or priest.- If a young girl sees a robin redbreast, she will marry a sailor or nautical man.- If a young girl sees a goldfinch (or any yellow bird), she will marry a rich man.- If a young girl sees a sparrow, she will marry a farmer or country gentleman.- If a young girl sees a bluebird, she will marry a happy man.- If a young girl sees a crossbill, she will marry an argumentative man.- If a young girl sees a dove, she will marry a good man.- If a young girl sees a woodpecker, she will have no husband.Before Reading >> Public Libraries in the U.S.Public libraries in the U.S. are free to the public.

Animal IntelligencePart I Pre-reading TaskListen to the recording two or three times and then think over the following questions:1. What do you know about Michael Jackson?2. How does he feel about Ben? Why?3. Do you think the song Ben reveals something about the relationship between man and animals? If so, what is it?4. Is the song related to the theme of the unit —animal intelligence? How?Part IITextFood, warmth, sleep? Their thoughts may be much deeper than that.WHAT ANIMALS REALLY THINKEuqene LindenOver the years, I have written extensively about animal-intelligence experiments and the controversy that surrounds them. Do animals really have thoughts, what we call consciousness? Wondering whether there might be better ways to explore animal intelligence than experiments designed to teach human signs, I realized what now seems obvious: if animals can think, they will probably do their best thinking when it serves their own purposes, not when scientists ask them to.And so I started talking to vets, animal researchers, zoo keepers. Most do not study animal intelligence, but theyencounter it, and the lack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal what I'm convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals perform when dealing with captivity and the dominant species on the planet — humans.Let's Make a DealConsider the time Charlene Jendry, a conservationist at the Columbus Zoo, learned that a female gorilla named Colo was handling a suspicious object. Arriving on the scene, Jendry offered Colo some peanuts, only to be met with a blank stare. Realizing they were negotiating, Jendry raised the stakes and offered a piece of pineapple. At this point, while maintaining eye contact, Colo opened her hand and revealed a key chain.Relieved it was not anything dangerous or valuable, Jendry gave Colo the pineapple. Careful bargainer that she was, Colo then broke the key chain and gave Jendry a link, perhaps figuring. Why give her the whole thing if I can get a bit of pineapple for each piece?If an animal can show skill in trading one thing for another, why not in handling money? One orangutan named Chantek did just that in a sign-language study undertaken by anthropologist Lyn Miles at the University of Tennessee. Chantek figured out that if he did tasks like cleaning his room, he'd earn coins to spend on treats and rides in Miles's car. But the orangutan's understanding of money seemed to extend far beyond simple dealings. Miles first used plastic chips as coins, but Chantek decided he could expand the money supply by breaking chips in two. When Miles switched to metal chips, Chantek found pieces of tin foil and tried to make copies.Miles also tried to teach Chantek more virtuous habits such as saving and sharing. Indeed, when I caught up with theorangutan at Zoo Atlanta, where he now lives, I saw an example of sharing that anyone might envy. When Miles gave Chantek some grapes and asked him to share them, Chantek promptly ate all the fruit. Then, as if he'd just remembered he'd been asked to share, he handed Miles the stem.Tale of a WhaleWhy would an animal want to cooperate with a human? Behaviorists would say that animals cooperate when they learn it is in their interest to do so. This is true, but I don't think it goes far enough.Gail Laule, a consultant on animal behavior, speaks of Orky, a killer whale, she knew. "Of all the animals I've worked with, he was the most intelligent," she says. "He would assess a situation and then do something based on the judgments he made."Like the time he helped save a family member. When Orky's mate, Corky, gave birth, the baby did not thrive at first, and keepers took the little whale out of the tank by stretcher for emergency care. Things began to go wrong when they returned the baby whale to the tank. As the workers halted the stretcher a few meters above the water, the baby suddenly began throwing up through its mouth. The keepers feared it would choke, but they could not reach the baby to help it.Apparently sizing up the problem, Orky swam under the stretcher and allowed one of the men to stand on his head, something he'd never been trained to do. Then, using his tail to keep steady, Orky let the keeper reach up and release the 420-pound baby so that it could slide into the water within reach of help.Primate Shell GameSometimes evidence of intelligence can be seen in attemptsto deceive. Zoo keeper Helen Shewman of Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo recalls that one day she dropped an orange through a feeding hole for Melati, an orangutan. Instead of moving away to get it, Melati looked Shewman in the eye and held out her hand. Thinking the orange must have rolled off somewhere inaccessible, Shewman gave her another one. But when Melati moved off, Shewman noticed the original orange was hidden in her other hand.Towan, the colony's dominant male, watched this whole trick, and the next day he, too, looked Shewman in the eye and pretended that he had not yet received an orange. "Are you sure you don't have one?" Shewman asked. He continued to hold her gaze steadily and held out his hand. Giving in, she gave him another one, then saw that he had been hiding his orange underneath his foot.What is intelligence anyway? If life is about survival of a species — and intelligence is meant to serve that survival — then we can't compare with pea-brained sea turtles, which were here long before us and survived the disaster that wiped out the dinosaurs. Still, it is comforting to realize that other species besides our own can stand back and assess the world around them, even if their horizons are more limited than ours.New Words and Expressionsextensivelyad. to a large extent, or in a large amount 广泛地;大量地intelligencen. 智力intelligenta. 聪明的，有才智的controversyn. 争论，争议surroundvt. be or go all around (sth. or sb.) 围绕;包围consciousnessn. 意识explorevt. examine thoroughly, learn about 探究，探索obviousa. easy to see and understand; clear 明显的vetn. 兽医encountervt. meet, esp. unexpectedly 遇到，遭遇revealvt. make (sth.) known 展示;揭露convincevt. make (sb.) feel sure by the use of argument or evidence 使确信，使信服feat▲n. 技艺;业绩，功绩captivityn. 被俘;监禁;束缚dominanta. ruling; most important or strongest 统治的;占优势的speciesn.

新编大学英语综合教程1-unit6Unit 6 A World of MysteryIn-Class Reading The Bermuda Triangle百慕大三角1 1945年12月5日，佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，天气晴朗，由五架美国海军飞机组成的第19飞行分队从这里起飞。
机上共有14名机组人员。
飞机状况良好；机上装有当时最好的设备，包括罗盘和无线电设备，还携带有救生筏。
飞机可以在水上漂浮90秒钟。
飞机起飞一个半小时后，劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。
2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。
”3 之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话，但是飞机之间可以通话，而且指挥塔台也能听到他们的通话。
4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。
”5 “我们完全迷失了方向。
”6 从这之后没有收到其他任何信息。
再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它们。
300架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区，但没有找到第19飞行分队的任何踪迹。
而且其中一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。
7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的，在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事件。
这种神秘现象在1945年之前很久就已经出现了，而且自那一年以来，又有许多其他船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。
这一地区被称为百慕大三角，是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域，其北端是百慕大岛。
8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪，但是百慕大三角内发生的失踪事件要比其他地区多。
多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑不解。
人们做了许多努力，试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。
9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为，这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星上的飞碟或不明飞行物从海上和空中劫走了。
他的看法是，既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星，那么在宇宙中的某些地方肯定存在其他有智慧的生物。
这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备，以便仔细观察研究。
10 另一种理论认为，该地区的地理状况是造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。
