A man named Rick finally got to experience what Mother's Day feels like this year，thanks to 13 little ducks that
thought he was their mother and followed him around all day. The unusual story began when the mother of the young
chicks disappeared soon after laying the eggs. In order to save them， Rick， who would not tell his last name or
location，decided to place them in an incubator. Therefore，when the chicks hatched，the first large moving object they
saw was Rick and they immediately concluded that he was their “mother”.
While this may seem odd，it is quite common among animals. Known as imprinting (印记)，it is a natural
biological phenomenon that occurs in newly born birds and mammals，allowing them to form a bond with their mothers
as well as providing them with information about their own identity. For birds like ducks，geese and turkeys that start
walking as soon as they hatch，the imprint occurs instantly，which is what happened in this case. What's amazing is that researchers have discovered that young birds imprint themselves to the first moving thing
they set eyes on， even if it is a lifeless object. During their study they found young chicks attach themselves to
gumboots，balls and even an electric train.
The disadvantage of imprinting is that young animals have a hard time separating themselves from their adopted
“mothers”. That means that they are often unable to return to the wild or socialize with their own species. This is the
reason why researchers use new methods when raising animals in captive breeding(圈养繁殖）programs. At California
and Arizona's Condor Recovery Project， the caretakers use hand puppets shaped like condors (h膚)to raise the
chicks，while researchers at the Hetaoping Research and Conservation Center in Western China are dressed in panda
suits to raise the severely endangered animals.
Rick is planning to keep his young “kids” around for a while. Once they get a little older，he plans to take them
over to a neighborhood lake where they will hopefully learn to mix with their own kind. 【语篇解读】一群小鸭子认了一位男子作妈妈，原来鸟类会把它们出生时看到的第一个东西认作是妈妈。
( )36. The underlined word “incubator” in Paragraph 1 is probably a . A. place where ducks can play B. device to observe duck eggs C. device to help eggs hatch D. place where chicks can rest

A. birds are much smarter than people used to think they would be B. birds usually cannot recognize their babies after they are hatched C. it is easy for young birds to mistake someone else for their mothers
D. it is impossible for a bird to consider a much larger thing to be its mother 【答案】C

别的东西是它们的妈妈。

行为允许研究人员用创新的方法来抚育动物。 $ )40. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Some newly born ducks had no idea who their mother was.
B. A man became the mother of some baby ducks on Mother's Day. C. Scientists found that animals know nothing about their mothers.

This story explores the effects of rituals (仪式)on our senses，starting with a ritual that comes just before we cut
the cake 一 singing Happy Birthday to You. We have a question： If you did not sing Happy Birthday to You or blow
out the candles，would the cake taste any different?
There's actually very little research into the effects that rituals have on our lives. Recently Francesca Gino and
Kathleen Vohs have just completed the first strict study on the effects that rituals have on eating. They ran a series of experiments. In one of them， they gave volunteers chocolate bars and asked some of the
volunteers to perform a ritual. They told the other volunteers to eat the chocolate bars exactly as they would like.
When people engaged in rituals 一 very simple rituals 一 we saw that, in fact, what they tasted was more flavorful，
they enjoyed it for longer and they would be willing to pay a higher price for what they just ate. They ran the same experiment with carrots，and they found the same thing happened. So across the board，rituals
seem to increase expectation and make people more mindful of what they are eating.
So the researchers said，“Is it possible that it's just performing some kind of physical activity before you eat that
makes the difference?，，They had people perform random physical gestures， and they found that didn't make any
difference. They also found that watching someone else perform a ritual did not have any effect. You had to do it. And
it was doing the ritual every single time that gave the ritual its power.
This is fascinating，because，of course，we have rituals in all areas of life.
People have morning habits. They have evening habits. There are habits of religion. We could go on and on. In sports，for example，rituals soothe(抚慰）us，and calm us down. After suffering a personal loss，performing a ritual
helps you regain a sense of control. 【语篇解读】生活中我们经常参加或者举行各种各样的仪式。但是，仪式究竟起什么作用呢？ ( )41. The researchers conducted experiments aiming to find . A. why people like rituals B. what makes rituals special
