For many years, scientists have recognized a number of symbiotic relationships that develop between human and animal species. Typically, these relationships have been categorized as mutualistic, parasitic, or commensal in the cases of wild animals, and domestication in the cases of livestock and companion animals. Recent studies, however, suggest that there should perhaps be another category to describe those creatures that seem able to set e within human societies, benefiting from certain human behaviors while nonetheless remaining wild. In order to more fully comprehend this phenomenon, commonly referred to as synanthropy, a new breed of scientists has developed. Traditionally, the fields considered most prestigious and thus most likely to draw financial support have been those centering on exotic and endangered animals, or those animals actively used as labor, companionship, or food stock by humans. Species that can be characterized as having a synanthropic relationship with humans, however, fall into neither category, as they tend to be both common and local. Ironically, it is those very species with which humans must interact on a daily basis. So perhaps it is fortuitous that, at long last curious individuals have begun to study those species on a more serious basis. Urban wildlife, such as rats and pigeons, may not draw the admiring looks that a cassowary or koala do, but most people living in metropolitan areas will interact with the former on a regular basis while never seeing the letter outside of a zoo. According to the passage the word "synanthropy" could best be defined as .... A. a mutually beneficial relationship between two species B. occurring less commonly than do parasitism and commensalism C. a popular and well-funded branch of urban zoology D. one type of symbiosis that occurs between humans and animals E. the antithesis of the more common category of domestication

The most important thing that keeps a family together is the faith of each member that when he or she has something to say, the others will listen. You shouldn't have to yell in order to be heard. You should be able to say, "I went downtown today and I saw these interesting people," and give an account of your day, and the others should pay attention. This sort of everyday storyelling is what holds people together. We can endure terrible hardships if we get to tell somebody about them. Authoritarian fathers get in the way of storyelling, and so do over-anxious mothers and jealous brothers and sisters, but mostly what defeats us is noise and busyness. The people around us deserve our best attention sometimes, and then we have to shut the world out. Turn off the television. Turn off the radio. Don't read the newspaper. Live a smaller life. The television is full of trash, the radio is full of noise and nonsense, and the newspaper is full of horrors and disasters and stories about terrible things done by other people's children - and all of it an open invitation to be self-righteous; those weren't our children who beat up the old lady and put her in the hospital. Worst of all, the media tend to remove us from direct experience. When we are fascinated by television and accept it as reality, the real world pales. American children don't want to go on trips to strange places because it will mean missing their favourite shows. What a pity. We have more information than any other people in history, and we need a l ittle less of it and a little more experience. The terrible danger of the media is their power to diminish our pleasure in the ordinary day, the richness and the goodness of a simple landscape and ordinary small talk and stories. We may infer from the text that there is a tendency of the media to .... A. make real ity seem more vivid to us B. open our minds and see the world C. encourage a sense of adventure in us D. increase our reliance on other people E. prevent us from experiencing the real world

Today's pet dog descended from wolves wild animals that shared the same habitat as human hunter-gatherers and, eventually, became domesticated compan ions at about 7,000 BC. There are a few theories that explain the change from savage creature to complimentary intimate. One hypothesis suggests that when humans took in abandoned wolf cubs, inbreeding and a new generation of domesticated animals followed. Another theory posits that scavenging wolves would find carrion that had been discarded by humans, which lead them to approach the unfamiliar beings. As they got nearer they fought their instinct to flee, and that trait was passed along to their descendants, making them more suited for domestication. Along with the domestication of wolves came physical changes to the tame canine such as a smaller build, a more compact jaw along with diminutive teeth as compared to their feral counterparts, alterations in fur coloring and markings; a smaller brain and subsequently a decrease in cranial capacity which did not allow room for certain instincts that are essential in the wild. In an attempt to recreate the domestication of these mammals, Dmitry Belyaev commissioned an experiment with wild silver foxes that were discerningly bred over four decades and displayed amiability towards humans that they previously had not possessed. The author of the passage most likely mentions inbreeding in the first paragraph in order to .... A. suggest one way in which wolves raised by humans might have had descendents who became domesticated B. explain how domesticated dogs came to have smaller teeth C. describe the domestication experiments of Belyaev D. suggest a cause for diminished brain capacity in wolves E. offer an explanation for the scavenging behavior of wolves

Found along the coastlines of southern Australia and New Zealand, Eudyptula minor is the smallest species of penguin on record Due to its diminutive size, it is often called the Little Penguin, though the residents of Australia call it the Fairy Penguin and those of New Zealand prefer the name Little Blue Penguin or even just Blue Penguin. e latter names are derived from the deep blue coloring of the penguins' backs, designed to enable the penguins to better blend in with the surrounding water when viewed in the ocean from above. Their white underbellies work in a similar manner, helping camouflage the penguins from u ndersea carnivores, which comprise the majority of the penguins' natural predators. It is fortunate that the penguins have few natural enemies, as human encroachment into their territory has taken its toll. Due to their small size, Little Penguins are easy prey not only for now-feral introduced species such as foxes and ferrets but also for companion animals such as dogs and cats. On Phillip Island, the penguins draw huge crowds of tourists on a nightly basis and many of these visitors unknowingly expose the penguins to injury by taking flash photographs, which can damage the nocturnal birds' highly sensitive eyes. Moreover, durmg the day the penguins have been known to hide behind everything from benches to cars, an incautious human could easily hurt or even kill one of them without even knowing. Based on the information in the passage, which of the following would be most analogous to the Little Penguin's distinctive coloring? A. The fur of the snowshoe hare changes from a mottled reddish-brown during the summer, so as to blend in with dry grasses, and white in the winter, to match the snow. B. A male peacock has more brightly colored plumes than does a female peahen, because the male must use its plumage to draw attention, in order to attract suitable mates. C. Some tropical frogs are able to alter the pigmentation in their skin, dither to hide more effectively in the surrounding foliage or to mimic the markings on other frogs. D. Many varieties of sparrow are pale when viewed from below, making it more difficult for land predators to see the flying bird, but darker from above, obscuring the bird from birds of prey. E. The tiger, although widely known as a brightly colored, easily visible animal, is able to disappear among the long grass and shadows from which it typically hunts its pray.
