In the family
16、, nobodys hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadnt prepared Ray for. I felt confident that Id raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do. But could he boil water? Sudden
17、ly it hit me: Hed be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to send a spoiled prince into the world.As parents, while we focus on our children s confidence and character, we perhaps dont always consider that we are also raising someones future roommate, boyfriend, husband,
18、 or father. I wanted to know that Id raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “Whats for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didnt say no.For two hours three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as hi
19、s tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.Grandparents being tailors, Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master th
20、e basics like refastening a button. One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white or put sweaters in the dryer. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother he tried to beg off s
21、ewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive but it couldnt be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.Ray now understands the finer points of
22、 cooking, and more importantly, he realizes theres nothing masculine （男子气概的） about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. Thats what I call a man.4. Hearing her sons question, the author felt _.A. angry B. shockedC. disappointed D. calm5.

25、 for My Future Daughter-in-lawCA day in the life of a sun bear is what you might expect from the name: sunny. In its natural habitat, the sun bear spends over 80 percent of its active waking time in daylight.But when disturbed by human activity, that changes dramatically. In areas where people are p
26、ushing into the sun bears habitat, the animals are spending 90 percent of their waking time after dark. Effectively, the threat of human presence is making the sun bear change into “the moon bear”.Led by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, the study found that human activity is dri
27、ving scores of mammals to shift their activity from the daytime into the dark hours of the night. As many animals have already been forced out of their local habitats, others are attempting to avoid interaction with humans by separating themselves in time rather than in space.For the work, the resea
28、rchers examined the behaviors of 64 mammal species, including deer, tigers, boars, and, of course, sun bears. They observed increased nocturnal （夜间的） behavior in a large majority of them, with species that are naturally active during the day tending to shift their activity to after dark, and those t
29、hat are naturally nocturnal becoming more so. The mammals affected ranged across body size, habitat type, region of the world, and diet.Human activity of all sorts affect animals，lives, including activities like hunting, agriculture and land development, harvesting local natural resources, even hiki
30、ng or walking through wild areas. Sport hunting in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe drove antelopes to spend more of their active waking hours at night, restricting their access to water. Similarly, hikers in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California made coyotes （郊狼） more nocturnal, forcing them to find new preys （猎物） among traditionally nocturnal animals.The researchers warn that profound shifts in the natural behavior patterns of so many species disturb dynamics that have evolved over generations, leading to a series of unknown effects on the entire
