Scientists have provided new evidence to help solve one of the world’s oldest mysteries---zebras stripes. Researchers recently described experiments showing that horse flies have a difficult time landing on zebras while easily landing on horses of a single color.
In one experiment, the researchers put blankets with stripes on horses and saw that fewer flies landed on them. "They fly past them or hit them and bounce off, "said Tim Caro of the University of California-Davis. He was the lead writer of a report on the study. The report was published in the journal PLOS ONE.
Closely related to horses, the world’s three zebra species are known for their black-and-white striped bodies. Zebras are native to Africas savannas, or grasslands. The appearance of the stripes is different from one zebra to the next.
There have been four main theories about the reasons why zebras developed stripes. The first theory is to avoid attacks by meat-eating animals. Another is that zebras have an easier time recognizing other zebras. a third idea is thermoregulation, which is the ability of a creature to control its body temperature, even when the surrounding temperature is different. The fourth theory is to prevent attacks by biting flies.
Only the last stands up, Caro said. "Most biologists involved in research on mammal coloration accept that this is the reason why zebras have stripes. University of Bristol biologist Martin How worked with Caro on the study. He said stripes may confuse flies when they get too close to zebras. African horse flies carry diseases, such as trypanosomiasis. The sickness can cause weakness and be deadly.
“In addition to stripes that prevent controlled landings by horse flies, zebras are always moving their tail and may frighten off the horse flies if they do land successfully, "Martin How said. He added that zebras are also using behavioral means to prevent flies from biting them
1、Why did the researchers put blankets with stripes on horses?
A．To confuse African horse flies.
B．To draw the attention of real zebras.
C．To help drive away African horse flies.
D．To see how African horse flies responded to them.
2、What do we learn about zebras from Paragraph 3?
A．They look the same to the human eye.
B．Their stripes are different from each other.
C．Zebras' living habits are similar to horses.
D．Three zebra species worldwide are endangered.
3、According to Tim Caro, how do zebras take advantage of their stripes?
A．They keep horse flies from biting them.
B．They use them to avoid attacks by other animals.
C．They control their body temperature through them.
D．They can easily recognize each other through the stripes.
4、Why are the disease carrier African horse flies mentioned in the text?
A．To help us know more about such flies.
B．To tell us how zebras survive biting flies.
C．To explain about a cause of death of zebras.
D．To show the necessity for zebras to avoid flies.
5、What is the best title for the text?
A．Why do zebras have stripes?
B．How did zebras evolve from horses?
C．What is the world’s oldest mystery?
D．When did zebras start to prevent horse flies?

B
Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any prize. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1、Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the reasons for success B．the standards of success
C．the importance of success D．what people think success is
2、Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．it takes a lot of time to succeed D．one gives up his work easily
3、What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4、What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
B．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C．Having a goal is very important to success.
D．Being good is different from being great.
