There is a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble in The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too — that is why it made November 16th “International Day for Tolerance”.
But first, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, “Tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty ( 脆弱) and error; let us pardon each other’s fool — that is the first law of nature.”
Very often, people do not realize that they are intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN’s campaign is in part
3
about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men do not put themselves in the shoes of women.
It is worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we are speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone is not necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there is something wrong with them.
Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That is the reason we should be tolerant. It is a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.
24. What is the purpose of the UN “International Day for Tolerance”? A. To celebrate the founding of the UN. B. To solve the problem of global warming.
C. To change people’s opinion towards globalization. D. To arouse the awareness of tolerance among people. 25. Why do men behave intolerantly towards women? A. Because men are not willing to understand women. B. Because men are physically stronger than women. C. Because men do not realize the purpose of the UN. D. Because men do not appreciate the shoes of women.
26. Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”? A. Because they cannot be used in a respectful way. B. Because they are hard to pronounce in English.
C. Because they cannot be translated into other languages.
D. Because they do not express the exact meaning people refer to. 27. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”? A. Humans tend to find faults in others.
B. Humans need to give something to others. C. Humans are advised to treat others better. D. Humans change their attitudes towards others.
C
A group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.
A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption.
These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.
Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his
4
colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.
The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.
And Dr. Farine emphasizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals ( 哺 乳 动 物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.
According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at—no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.
“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.
28. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out thestudy?
A. His interest in animal brainpower. B. Previous assumptions about birds. C. The guineafowl’s social behaviour. D．The faults in earlier research. 29. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The research subjects. B．The research methods. C．The research findings. D．The research equipment. 30. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl. B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group. C．Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups. D．Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies. 31. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl. B. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies. C. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.
D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.
