Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.Perhaps you have seen some animals doing quite skillful things at a circus. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories. Birds with good eyesight are being used to watch out for fault in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be trained one day to gather crops and even drive trains.What made scientists think that animals can be trained to for us one day ?( ) Passage FiveIn the United States, it is important to be on time, or punctual, for an appointment, a class, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered this difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian (巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled' to begin at 10 M. and end at 12. On the first day, when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after the scheduled time. Several arrived half an hour later. Few apologized for their lateness. Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students, behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation: at a lunch with a friend and in a university class. He found that if they had a lunch appointment with a friend, the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. However, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States, but also end at the scheduled time. In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12: 00; many remained past 12: 30 to discuss the class and ask more questions. While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil, neither is staying late.51. The word "punctual' most probably means______. As the train will not leave until one hour later, we _____ grab a bite at the snack bar. In the course of a day students do far more than _____ classes.( )
