In one tesst a scientist sets three identical cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food 2 one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No 3 is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.This is called a delayed-response test. The idea is to 4 how long an animal’s memory can retain information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees() and elephants have the best memory, and are able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is 5 . dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.To settle the matter, the scientists devised a gigantic maze, and ran the chimps and elephants 6 it. The maze was very complicated, with many blind alleys and 7 ends. It took the chimps ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed a half hour. Even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, he test indicates that chimpanzees are the smartest animals.From this and other tests, the scientists 8 the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion to the size of its 9 . the elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds…this is only 1/600 of its 6,000 pound body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120 of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp hasfour times as much brain as the elephant-more brain for 10 body. The chimp is the champ.1. A. making B. guessing C. weighing D. measuring2. A. under B. over C. on D. across3. A. eating B. tasting C. smelling D. hearing4.

The real significance of 1. figures, however, lies in the fact that almost three-quarters 2 all the losses occurred in the past hundred years and as direct result 3 man’s activities on this planet. It is essential for 4 whole process of evolution 5 the extinction of certain species should occur over a period of time.
