We all know that zebras have stripes (条纹). However, both animal experts and zebra fans all over the world haven't known the reason for centuries. But now it appears that some researchers in California may have finally solved the age-old mystery!

In order to find the reason why zebras have stripes, a team of scientists led by Professor Tim Caro set to work. They began by comparing the thickness, location, and the stripes on seven species of zebras that live in various geographic locations. They then examined some factors that may continuously affect zebras, such as their natural enemies, the temperatures of their living places and the small insects around them like flies. To their amazement, the only factor that was linked with the stripes was the annoying flies. The zebras with the most obvious and the largest number of stripes mostly live in areas with more flies.

But that led to another question: why are zebras the only kind of animal smart enough to develop the stripes? After all, there are plenty of other animals like horses and donkeys, which are facing the same trouble. Upon closer examination of the black and white animals, the researchers noticed that unlike the others, zebras have very short coats of hair, making them particularly easy to be bitten (咬) by the flies!

While Tim says that this mystery is finally solved, it has given rise to a new one. Why are these fearless flies that have no fears of attacking animals that are thousands of times bigger, afraid of black and white stripes? If you have any answer, be sure to add it to the comments below. It may help the professor with his new research!

(2) Why are zebras easy to be bitten? A. They have very short coats of hair. B. They have a special smell. C. They are very tall and strong. D. They live in dangerous places.

Does Success Come with a High EQ or IQ?

Most students feel that their IQs are what determines(决定) how well they are going to do in life. When they see other students doing better than them, they usually believe that those students have a higher IQ and that there is nothing they can do to change facts. However, new research into EQ suggests that success is not simple the result of a high IQ.

While your IQ tells you how intelligent you are, your EQ tells you how well you use your intelligence. Professor Salovey who invented the term EQ suggests that when predicting someone's future success, their character, as measured (测量)by EQ tests, might actually matter than their IQs.

It is generally believed that people with high EQs are open to new ideas and have positive attitudes towards life. They are also less likely to be troubled by problems.

People generally believe that a person's IQ is determined by birth. However, most social scientists agree that EQ has a lot to do with education. Some are trying to study the possibility of improving a person's EQ, especially in terms of "people skills", such as understanding and communication.

Professor Mayer, recognized by many as a leading expert in the study of changes to people's EQs, recently said the results of a study on senior high school students. When normal students were introduced to students with disabilities, they found that, afterwards, the normal students were more willing to help people with difficulties. They also showed a better understanding of the disabled students' feelings compared to students who had not been involved in the study. There was also an obvious change in the disabled students' attitudes. They became more positive about life and more willing to try new things.

The results of the study show that EQ is important. To get ahead in the world and lead a happy successful life means getting on with other people and being able to understand and react to the situations in the best way possible. This requires a high EQ, the higher the better. And the fact that it might be possible to raise EQs means that schools need to make sure that their students are receiving the education they really need, and know that their futures are not entirely determined by their IQs.

(1) According to the passage, people with high EQs . A. hate trying new things B. are determined by birth C. are more understanding D. need to improve their IQs

(2) What does the phrase "react to" in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A. Try to refuse to accept. B. Show some disinterest in. C. Help others to explain. D. Behave differently in.

(3) According to the passage, Professor Mayer probably agrees that . A. students with low EQs are more creative and positive toward their lives B. it is possible for disabled students to improve their EQs with education C. it is difficult for people with high EQs to solve problems in the best way D. students with high IQs will be easier to succeed than students with high EQs

(4) What is the writer's main purpose in writing the passage? A. To discuss the meaning of EQ. B. To stress the importance of EQ. C. To introduce the discovery of EQ. D. To question about the tests of EQ.
