Dogs have an understanding of fair play and become angry if they feel that another dog is getting a better deal, a new study has found.
The study looked at how dogs react when a companion is rewarded for the same trick in an unequal way. Friederike Range, a researcher at the University of Vienna in Austria, and her colleagues did a series of experiments with dogs who knew how to respond to the command “give the paw “. The dogs were normally happy to repeatedly give the paw, whether they got a reward or not. But that changed if they saw that another dog was being rewarded with a piece of food, while they received nothing.
“We found that the dogs hesitated significantly longer when obeying the command to give the paw,” the researchers write. The unrewarded dogs eventually stopped cooperating.
Scientists have long known that humans pay close attention to inequity. But researchers always assumed that animals didn’t share the trait. “The argument was that this is a uniquely human phenomenon,” says Frans de Waal, a professor of psychology at Emory University in Atlanta.
That changed in 2003 when he and a colleague did a study on monkeys. The monkeys had to hand a small rock to researchers to get a piece of cucumber in return. They were happy to do this. But if they saw that another monkey was getting a more delicious reward, a grape, for doing the same job, they would throw away the food and rock, and at some point just stopped performing.
In that experiment, the monkeys considered the fairness of two different types of payment. But when Range and her colleagues did a similar study with their trained dogs, testing to see if dogs would become upset if they only got dark bread when other dogs received sausage, they found that as long as the dogs got some kind of food payment, even if it wasn’t the most delicious kind, the animals would play along.
How did the dogs in Range’s study react to the order of “giving the paw”?
A. They took the order even without being rewarded.
B. They took the order only when rewarded.
C. They turned a deaf ear to repeated orders.
D. They hesitated longer when given repeated orders.
The research by Frans De Waal in 2003 ___________.
A. originated from Range’s research on dogs.
B. showed that animals do pay attention to inequity.
C. began the argument that only humans are aware of inequity.
D. was conducted to find out how monkeys reacted to humans’ orders.
Some monkeys in the research become angry because they found another monkey _______.
A. was given less work.
B. was given more food.
C. was given the same type of food.
D. was given more delicious food.
Range found that, compared with monkeys, dogs ____________.
A. care more about whether they are rewarded.
B. care less about what they are rewarded with.
C. care more about what they are ordered to do.
D. care less about who gives them orders.
What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Animals have various ways to show their anger.
B. Dogs are less intelligent than monkeys.
C. Dogs have a sense of fairness.
D. Most animals want to be rewarded equally.

Crossing Texas and Mexico, the Big Bend region is high in biodiversity(生物的多樣性). It’s a place so untamed that if something doesn’t bite, stick, or sting, it’s probably a rock.
You know you have arrived in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert when it feels as if you have fallen off the edge of the earth and into the rabbit hole. Nothing is as it appears. Moths (蛀蟲) are the size of birds. Are those twin pillars (柱) of black rock (a landmark known as Mule Ear Peaks) ten miles (16 kilometers) away or fifty (80 kilometers)? Visibility (能見度) reaches more than a hundred miles on a clear day, and since there are few roads or buildings to use as milestones, distance is difficult to judge.
This is a place where water runs uphill, where rainbows have to wait for rain. The line between myth (虛構(gòu)的故事) and reality is unclear. Stare long enough at the Chisos Mountains or the Sierra del Carmen, the two mountain ranges, known as sky islands, which lie on the land, and they rise and float above the plain.
The vast Chihuahuan Desert is a land of no people. There is always the chance you’ll die of thirst. The “You Can Die”possibilities are endless, and keep some visitors — 350,000 a year to Big Bend National Park, built in 1944 — from coming back. Those who do return are left to think of the remarkable courage of the brave few who have managed to survive in this terrible environment.
The underlined word“untamed”in Paragraph 1 means“________”.
A. untouched B. wild C. unchanged D. fresh
Why do the twin pillars of black rock seem ten or fifty miles away?
A. They were put so far away.
B. They lie across the Chihuahuan Desert.
C. It is difficult to judge the distance, with few milestones.
D. One lies in the Chisos Mountains, the other in the Sierra del Carmen.
How many years are there since the Big Bend National Park was built?
A. 350,000 years. B. 350 years. C. 66 years. D. 44 years.
What is the passage mainly about?
A. The natural wonders of the Chihuahuan Desert.
B. Everything you see is not what it seems in the Chihuahuan Desert.
C. The terrible environment of deserts in Texas and Mexico.
D. A special place where none who go can return.
What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. There are all kinds of living things in the Chihuahuan Desert.
B. No people live in the Big Bend region.
C. Nothing is as it appears in the Big Bend region.
D. Traveling in the Big Bend region is dangerous.

Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the doctors. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded （包圍） by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣）, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
According to the text, what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?
A．Those who often take exercise.
B．Those who often watch television.
C．Those who often have meals at home.
D．Those who often walk to school.
The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because
A．their parents often cook meals for them
B．they are too busy to go out and play
C．they can' t choose what to eat
D．there are too many fast food shops around
The word "steering" underlined in the last sentence most probably means _______.
A．forcing B．guiding C．driving D．moving
The main purpose of the text is to _________.
A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinions
