Mammals in complex social groups not only recognize each other as individuals，but also they remember a lot of information about that individual.Social groups often rely on this memory—such as knowing who is dominant to whom，who is related to whom，and who has done what to whom in the past.It’s like remembering who you have lent money to or done a favour for，and who hasn’t repaid that money or has talked about you behind your back.You have to learn who to trust，who your friends are，and who to watch out for.
All this remembering goes on in a particular part of the brain called the neocortex (大脑皮层)．If you compare the size of a mammal’s social group with the size of this part of the brain，you will find they are remarkably closely related.This area seems to take a long time to develop fully and animals in which it is very large take a very long time to grow up to adulthood.During this time，the youngster has to learn all the rules of social behaviour in their group and to piece together all the relationships between the group members：Knowledge that will be needed to avoid getting into trouble.
小题1:What is special about a mammalian social group according to the passage?

“If you come by right now，” the receptionist said，“the dentist will fit you in.”
I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist.What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice？Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?
In the dentist’s office，I sat down and looked around.I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried.The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my icecold one.
When I told her my fears，she laughed and said，“Don’t worry.The dentist is very good.”
“How long do I have to wait for him？” I asked impatiently.
“Come on，he is coming.Just lie down and relax.And enjoy the artwork，” the assistant said.
“The artwork？” I was puzzled.
The chair went back.Suddenly I smiled.There was a beautiful picture，right where I could enjoy it：on the ceiling.How considerate the dentist was！At that moment，I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.
What a relief！ (2013·重庆，A)

Li Jing，a student at China Youth University for Political Sciences，for example，says she often buys movie tickets on teambuying websites.But while they offer a good opportunity to save money，Li said she would “think twice before buying them from online stores”．Because many of them are “a bit chaotic (混乱的)”，and have fake goods mixed among them.Then why don’t the students just earn more pocket money by taking up parttime jobs？Guo Na，a teacher at the Communication University of China，said most college students were unlikely to choose workstudy programs to earn pocket money because of their intensive study schedules.
A kind of card called “VELO” has become another ideal choice for many money savers.It provides allround discounts while dining out or shopping in general.Cao Zuyang，a student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China，often searches for sales online and buys things together with friends to cut down on costs.Cao once wanted to buy an electromagnetic oven (电磁炉)，which was on sale at a shopping website.He then asked five dormitory roommates to pitch in for the oven.Each student only paid 25 yuan.
Most students find it difficult to deal with the expense of accommodation while traveling.So they choose to travel to cities where they have friends and live in their dorms.For instance，Ge Rui，a student at the Hebei University of Technology，has been to many cities where he has friends.“Friends can act as free guides，offer me free accommodation，give me valuable tour information，and broaden my mind at the same time，” he said.He also had friends from other cities coming over and living with him when they visited his city.
小题1:What does the writer mainly tell us?
| A．The ways of saving money on campus. |
| B．Online teambuying becomes popular. |
| C．How to recognize fake goods online. |
| D．How to choose a city to travel. |
| A．Li Jing is a student from China Youth University for Electronic Sciences. |
| B．Most college students earn more pocket money by taking up parttime jobs. |
| C．It’s not a good idea to ask five roommates to buy one oven together. |

| A．a personal diary | B．a travel magazine |
| C．an official paper | D．an advertisement |

The types of people who were homeless also changed in the 1980s.No longer were they primarily older men.They were younger，with an average age of 35.Their numbers consisted of women，children，adolescents and entire families.They were of many races and cultures.No longer were they only in the inner city.They lived in rural areas and in large and small cities.No longer were they invisible to the people with homes and jobs.The homeless of the 1980s lived in packing crates (装货箱) and doorways.They slept on sidewalks and in public parks.They begged money from passersby.
Counting the numbers of homeless people is difficult.However，in 1984 the Department of Housing and Urban Development estimated the homeless population at between 250,000 and 350,000.In 1990 the Census Bureau counted about 459,000 people in shelters，in cheap hotels，and on the streets.In 1995 the National Alliance to End Homelessness estimated that there were 750,000 homeless Americans.
The homeless of the 1980s also began to speak out for themselves.Some spoke to Congress and to government committees controlling funding for social programs.Street newspapers，such as Chicago’s Streetwise and Boston’s Spare Change，had stories，poems，and essays that expressed the homeless viewpoint.The visible and vocal presence of the homeless prompted help from volunteers and government agencies.But what is still needed is a solution to the plight of America’s homeless population.
小题1:This passage is mainly about________.
| A．one homeless person’s story |
| B．the history of the homeless |
| C．the changes of the homeless in the late 20th century |
| D．a way to provide homes for the homeless |
| A．By writing books. |
| B．By moving to rural areas. |
| C．By being elected to the government committees. |
| D．By expressing their viewpoints in street newspapers. |
| A．Government agencies. |
| B．Street newspapers. |
| C．The homeless themselves. |
| D．The volunteers. |
| A．The homeless all lived in urban cities in America. |
| B．The name “the homeless” was given in the early 1980. |
| C．Not only the disabled belong to the homeless family. |
| D．There were about 800,000 homeless people in western countries. |
