very closely as baseballs and bats fly around at the park at terrifying speeds.
Unfortunately，we were hit with a troubling reminder on Friday night at Fenway Park，Boston as one fan reportedly suffered life-threatening injuries after being struck in the face by the barrel (击球端) of a broken bat.The scary incident happened because a player hit the ball hard，causing his bat to break at the handle.The broken barrel flew into the stands to the left of home plate (the place that the player has to stand next to in order to hit the ball，and the last place they have to touch to score a point) where it reportedly struck the fan.According to Boston police,the fan was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center，where she's currently receiving treatment for her injuries.
A security guard who witnessed the accident said the woman,who was sitting with her husband and son at the time，suffered serious injuries.Her son sitting near her was terribly frightened.A number of fans witnessed the accident，including Alex Merlas of Brookline.“Brett_Lawrie hit the ball and the bat broke in half near the end of the bat，” Merlas said.“It hit the fan on the top of her forehead and there was a lot of bleeding.I don't think I've ever seen that much blood.”
That game was delayed temporarily so the fan could be transported to an ambulance waiting at one of the gates inside the ballpark.Fans were left shocked and shaken as the stadium crew cleaned up the scene.Players could be seen discussing it as well,as all who witnessed it were obviously affected.Those who were watching the accident wished the woman fan and her family the very best.

When I watched wild baboons (狒狒) in Africa，it seemed as if they ate everything.But did they really? They have simple stomachs.If baboons eat foods that have a lot of fiber，they get very little nutrition from that food，and then they don't have room for more nutritious foods.Baboons need foods with a lot of nutrients.Baboons should be picky eaters.
In the 1990s，a team of primatologists (灵长类动物学家) solved this riddle．By watching wild baboons，the team of primatologists found that the monkeys ate whatever they could find as long as the foods had a lot of protein and fat.Baboons avoided foods with lots of fiber.Many foods had high protein or high fat，and many foods had low fiber.So it looked as if baboons ate everything.
Research on baboon foods made me wonder how baboons found their foods.I
knew baboons were smart.For their size，they have big brains，and they remember a lot of things.Even though some baboon troops have more than 100 monkeys，baboons easily remember their friends and enemies.I reasoned that baboons might memorize the locations of some foods.
For 18 months I lived in a tent in Ruaha National Park in Tanzania.I camped next to the river.I studied only male baboons because females have babies，and I didn't want to scare the little ones.Each morning，I picked a different male monkey.Everywhere he went，I followed.Every time he ate，I wrote down the food type and how much he ate.
I discovered that baboons did not find baobab trees (猴面包树) randomly.Instead，the monkeys walked quickly and directly to baobab trees.The same was not true for other foods.Baboons used more random patterns to find elephant dung (粪便)，young antelopes，and grasses.Sometimes they found these foods on their way to the baobab trees!
28．What does the underlined part “this riddle” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Where wild baboons live. B．How wild baboons find foods.
C．If wild baboons eat everything. D．If wild baboons have simple stomachs.
29．What do we know about wild baboons?
A．They have few friends. B．They are not very smart. C．They have many enemies. D．They have a good memory. 30．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．How the author studied wild baboons. B．The living environment of wild baboons. C．How female wild baboons give birth to babies.
