    A flock of hungry pigeons were flying across the sky in search of food. Having traveled a long distance, they felt tired and settled down on a tree. Just below the tree, they saw grains strewn（抛洒）all over the ground. The pigeons were happy to have found enough food to eat. All the pigeons came down from the tree and started eating the grains. As they were doing so, a huge net fell on them and trapped them all.
    The pigeons were taken aback. They noticed a hunter sitting at a distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. The pigeons realized it was the hunter who had trapped them in the net. The hunter got up and began to move towards the pigeons.
    The leader of the pigeons spoke,“ Friends, we are in great trouble. The hunter will catch us if we do not act swiftly in a few seconds. There is only one option available at this moment. Let all of us use our force together and fly up along with the net. If all of us use our force and fly together, we can fly carrying the net along with us. Let us start now.”
    All the pigeons agreed with him and flew high carrying the net along with them, After traveling enough distance away from the hunter, the pigeons settled on a tree and carefully came out of the net one by one and thus escaped the evil design of the hunter.

    　　Early this year, Captain Startup was flying an aeroplane over New Zealand．There was a television camera crew on board．Suddenly, out in the night sky, a bright sphere came into view．Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought, “UFO”－Unidentified Flying Object．Many people believe that a UFO is a visiting craft from outer space．The camera crew went into action and started filming．That week people all over the world saw the film of this mysterious light on their television screens．Someone described the object as “a shining ping pong ball”．What was it？Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet？The Captain and the film crew believed it was．Other observers had many different explanations．Some say it was Venus．Some say it was just a trick of light．The people on the aeroplane were not the only ones who saw the “UFO”．

    　　An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen．When a reporter asked him if he believed in UFOs, he said, “I don’t know what they are, but I’ve got an open mind on them．” Like many scientists, he thought that a flock of birds caused dots on his radar screen when the UFO appeared．Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus．At that time of year it is very bright and easy to see．And from a moving aeroplane it can appear to be moving fast．So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist．

    When it comes to social behaviour，mammals are in a league of their own.Some birds may form pairs，or even cooperate to hunt，but the complexity (复杂性) of their relationships can hardly compare to those within a school of dolphins，a herd of elephants or a group of humans.What makes mammalian social groups different from a flock of starlings or a shoal of fish，is that in many cases the individuals could recognize each other.Although we may think that? all elephants look pretty much the same，we can easily tell individuals of our own species apart and it has become clear through studies that the same is true of other species.Dolphins have their own signature whistles that act like “names”，and elephants can recognize and greet other individuals they have known but not seen for many years.This is something that only a few species of birds appear to be able to do.

    Mammals in complex social groups not only recognize each other as individuals，but also they remember a lot of information about that individual.Social groups often rely on this memory—such as knowing who is dominant to whom，who is related to whom，and who has done what to whom in the past.It’s like remembering who you have lent money to or done a favour for，and who hasn’t repaid that money or has talked about you behind your back.You have to learn who to trust，who your friends are，and who to watch out for.

    All this remembering goes on in a particular part of the brain called the neocortex (大脑皮层)．If you compare the size of a mammal’s social group with the size of this part of the brain，you will find they are remarkably closely related.This area seems to take a long time to develop fully and animals in which it is very large take a very? long time to grow up to adulthood.During this time，the youngster has to learn all the rules of social behaviour in their group and to piece together all? the relationships between the group members：Knowledge that will be needed to avoid getting into trouble.

    1.What is special about a mammalian social group according to the passage?

    A．All the individuals cooperate to hunt.

    B．The individuals can communicate with each other.

    C．The individuals can recognize each other.

    D．The individuals form closer relationship.

    2.The passage suggests that elephants________.

    A．are cleverer than dolphins

    B．can recognize other species

    C．may mistake a member for another

    D．have good memories

    3. Animals whose area of the neocortex is large________.

    A．will have a long period of time before they become adults

    B．will spend a shorter time learning the necessary knowledge

    C．will learn the necessary knowledge much more easily

    D．will have more difficulty in growing up as adults

    4. If the neocortex is larger，the animals________.

    A．can live a longer life

    B．have a smaller social group

    C．have a larger social group

    D．have a greater body size
