One cold morning in winter, I went alone to a hillside to do some hunting. I sat there waiting for about an hour. Suddenly, a big beautiful deer appeared less than 20 feet away from me. There was no cover near him. Surely I could shoot him.

To my surprise, he came toward me! He was curious, I suppose, or maybe he was stupid. For this was not a youngster, but a fully grown-up one. He must have known about men and their guns. But this deer came closer, and I still waited. His big eyes never moved away from my face. His wonderful head with a set of antlers (鹿角) was clear in sight.

I was getting a bit nervous as he walked closer. A big deer can do a lot of damage. Well, he walked right up to where I was sitting. Then he stopped and looked at me.

What happened next was hard to believe. But it all seemed quite natural. I held out my hands and scratched his head right between the antlers. And he liked it. The big, wild, beautiful deer bent his head.

I scratched and touched his head and body. His nose touched my shoulder. I fed him with my last sandwich.

Well, he finally went his way, down the hill. Shoot him? Not me. You wouldn’t, either. Not after that. I just watched him go, a strong deer carrying a proud head.

I picked up my gun, and started walking back. Suddenly, I heard two shots, one after another. If you have hunted much, you will know what two shots mean. They mean a kill. I had forgotten that there were other hunters around.

You will now understand why I gave up hunting from that day on.

Security—for the information on your smartphone, as well as for the phone itself is a hot topic these days．The truth is that you’re packing a lot of sensitive information on your phone, and you should keep it safe．

When it comes to physical security, iPhone users would do well to download Find My iPhone, a free app from Apple that allows you to visit a website and see your (lost, stolen or misplaced) phone on the map．You can then sound an alarm, send a message that will pop up on its screen, lock the phone or erase all your data．

Android does not have an exact equivalent(等價(jià)物), but there are plenty of alternatives．A free app called Lookout offers the find my phone feature．The paid version allows you to wipe the data from your phone remotely．

Then there is your coffee shop’s WiFi network．Anyone with minimal technical expert skill can snoop on(窺視) people using shared wireless networks, harvesting passwords and other personal data．Lookout’s apps will caution you when you’ve logged on to an insecure network, but cannot protect you once you’re there．

In order to protect yourself on such networks, you can use a virtual private network, or V．P．N．This turns all your activity into nonsense to anyone trying to read along with you from across the Starbucks．It also keeps websites from tracking you and, if you’re traveling, allows you to get access to sites that may be blocked in other countries．

If you have an iPhone, the simplest V．P．N．a(chǎn)pp is probably Hotspot Shield, whose distinguishing feature is said to be that it automatically kicks in each time you start browsing (瀏覽), as opposed to other V．P．N．a(chǎn)pps that require you to start them up manually(手動(dòng))．This matters, because even if you decide you want a V．P．N．a(chǎn)pp, you want to spend approximately zero time thinking about it．For the most part, that was true of Hotspot Shield, though occasionally it took a while to connect or temporarily lost connection without warning．I found myself having to turn the app on and off sometimes, which involved setting my phone constantly．

If even reading about the setting on your phone drives you crazy, then it is probably best to stay away from a V．P．N．a(chǎn)pp．But if you’re the type who can’t resist checking your bank balance from your comer bar, the hassle (麻煩) may be preferable to the risk．

1.Which of the following can warn you against the insecure network?

A．Android

B．V．P．N．

C．Lookout

D．Find My iPhone

2.By using V．P．N．, users can ________．

A．find their lost phone on the Internet

B．remove all the data form the phone remotely

C．check the bank balance now and then

D．save their browsing from being tracked

3.The underlined word “that” in Para．6 refers to the fact that _________．

A．a(chǎn) V．P．N．a(chǎn)pp kicks in automatically

B．the users starts V．P．N．a(chǎn)pps manually

C．the app take a while to connect

D．users spend no time thinking about it

There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.

Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12

Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-create dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.

Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13

This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.

Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older

If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos.

Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12

If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool.

What’s on Your Pet’s Mind?

In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on another creature’s mind by talking to it. Her first experiments began with Alex. Alex was a one-year-old African grey parrot and Irene taught him to produce the sounds of the English language. “I thought if he learned to communicate, I could ask him questions about how he sees the world.”

At the time, most scientists didn’t believe animals had any thoughts. They thought animals were more like robots but didn’t have the ability to think or feel. Of course, if you own a pet you probably disagree. But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and nowadays more scientists accept that animals can think for themselves.

“That’s why I started my studies with Alex,” Irene said, “Some people actually called me crazy for trying this.”

Nowadays, we have more and more evidence that animals have all sorts of mental abilities. Sheep can recognize faces. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use a variety of tools and even use weapons to hunt. And Alex the parrot became a very good talker.

Thirty years after the Alex studies began. Irene was still giving him English lessons up until his recent death. For example, if Alex was hungry he could say “want grape”. Alex could count to six and was learning the sounds for seven and eight. “He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctly say them.” Irene said, after pronouncing “seven” for Alex a few times in a row. Alex could also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials (e.g. wood and metal). Before he finally died, Alex managed to say “seven”.

Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog called Rico. He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011. Rico knew the names of 200 different toys and easily learned the names of new ones. When Rico became famous, many other dog owners wanted to show how clever their pets were. Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words.

One theory for dogs’ ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions to humans for many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving (進(jìn)化). While animals can’t do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex and Rico prove that evolution develops intelligence, as well as physical appearance.

1.Irene wanted to find out __________.

A. what a parrot thinks

B. why a parrot can speak

C. how parrots make sounds

D. if parrots speak English

2.Alex learnt new words by __________.

A. singing them

B. reading them

C. writing them

D. rehearing them

3.The two dogs mentioned in the article could _______.

A. understand some words

B. recognize strange voices

C. copy human gestures

D. tell different colors

4.The article concludes that ___________.

A. our pets understand what we say

B. dogs may speak to humans one day

C. humans are related to chimpanzees

D. mental ability can evolve in animals
