Taking Care
From a very early age, I knew I wanted to be a nurse. My mother was a nurse and I have always 1 her and the way she took care of everyone. I wanted to be just like her.
So, here I am, a 2 for the last seven years. I love my work. Now, my father is quite 3 . He is 71 and has heart failure, and a lot of other medical 4 . Up until April of this year, he was able to live alone, drive, and 5 all of his own needs. His health has broken sown swiftly. I’m the only girl out of the five children. Being the only girl and a nurse 6 me at the top of the caregiver list. Taking care of a sick parent is very 7 , not at all like taking care of other patients. I have to 8 my own family to be here with Dad. I know this is 9 I need to be but it is still hard. I 10 abut 12-15 hours day taking care of him. I want to spend all of the time that I can with him because I know that our 11 left together is short.
At the same time, I find myself 12 that my brothers don’t help more. Sometimes, it is days between their 13 . they all have families of their own and busy lives but…so do I. My eldest brother does help some. He 14 at night. He comes in at 8 or 9pm and lets me go home. But he is up and 15 to hit the road at about 6 am. My 16 brothers pop in for 10-15 minute visits. It is 17 annoying. They say they 18 stand “to see Daddy this way” which I understand. It hurts me to see him so sick 19 weak, too. But …he’s our Dad. He has taken care of us our whole lives. I just 20 like we should all do our part to take care of him now.

When it comes to intelligence, human beings are the top dogs of the animal kingdom. But in recent years, scientists have been documenting surprising intelligence and emotional depth in animals ranging from honeybees to elephants. Here are some amazing examples.
Artistic Monkey Business
Jannet Schmid, director of the Little River Zoo in Norman, Oklahoma, learned a lot about the intelligence of capuchin monkeys. She and her busband adopted a young male, named Bailey. The capuchin particularly liked taking car rides, insisting that he insert the key and ride in the front passenger’s seat.
Now Bailey has become a devoted painter. He uses brushes to create colorful, abstract paintings, and prefers not to be disturbed.
Prairie Dog Sound
Through a variety of birdlike sounds, prairie dogs warn each other of approaching creatures. They demonstrated a surprisingly complex communication system. In his 25 years of study, Slobodchikoff, a professor of biology, has recorded them pronouncing ten nouns including hawk, deer and coyote, a number of adjectives to identify color, size and shape, and even some verbs to indicate speed.
In an ongoing study, Slobodchikoff learns that their brain contains a very extensive vocabulary. He once used his best prairie dog sound to say coyote, and they just looked at him in anger as if he had said a bad word.
Ivy League Parrot
One African grey parrot Alex is said to have the cognitive abilities of a five-year-old child. Alex can identify 50 different objects, seven colors, five shapes, quantities up to six, and the concepts of bigger, smaller, same and different.
Also Alex is considered to make reasoned decisions. During an experiment, researchers gave Alex different-colored blocks in sets of two, three and six. When asked which color group had five blocks, Alex replied, “None.” And he answered the same in repeated tests. Obviously, he interpreted the concept of “none” as an absence of quantity all on his own. That’s a lot like a high school student answering questions on a quiz show.
56.Which of the following is true?
A. Bailey is as clever as a child of five.
B. The prairie dog loves taking car rides.
C. The capuchin monkey is fond of painting.
D. Alex develops a communication system.
57.The underlined word “coyote” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. a verb B. an animal C. a warning D. an adjective
58.The African grey parrot Alex can ________.
A. answer questions on a quiz show
B. understand the figure “7”
C. identify five colors and seven shapes
D. apply the concept of “none” correctly
59.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Animal communication B. Animal research
C. Animal intelligence D. Animal information
