5．Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it．It is not the amazing complexity of television，nor the impressive technology of transport．The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths，and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other's minds．This ability comes so naturally that tend to forget what a miracle（奇迹）it is．
Obviously，the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals．Of course，some animals have powers just as amazing．Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year．In Nature's went show，humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act．If we reduce it to basic terms，it's a ability for communicating information to others，by varying sounds we make as we breathe out．
Not that we don't have other powers of communication．Our facial expressions convey our emotions，such as anger，or joy，or disappointment．The way we hold our beads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad．This is so-called"body language"．Bristling（直立的）fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals．Similarly，the bowed bead or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering．
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals，including human beings，instinctively acquire and display．Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct？If so，how did human beings acquire this amazing skill？Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function，but this doesn't tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history．

72．According to the passage，the wonder we take for granted isA．
A．our ability to use language
B．the miracle of technology
C．the amazing power of nature
D．our ability to make noises with mouth
73．What feature of"body language"mentioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals？D
A．Lifting heads when sad．
B．Keeping long faces when angry．
C．Bristling hair when ready to attack．
D．Bowing heads when willing to obey．
74．What can be inferred from Paragraph 3？D
A．Body language is unique to humans．
B．Animals express emotions just as humans do．
C．Humans have other powers of communication．
D．Humans are no different from animals to some degree．
75．This passage is mainly aboutC．
A．the development of body language．
B．the special role humans play in nature．
C．the power to convey information to others．
D．the difference between humans and animals in language use．

2．Mine was，at times，a lonely childhood．Born in Chungking，China，of missionary （传教士） parents，I lost my mother at birth．I was two months old when my father sent me to Mother's favorite sister in Morgantown，West Virginia．There I grew up in the house where Mother had spent her girlhood．
In the evening，before Aunt Ruth came home，I often sat on the floor beneath a picture of my mother-a sweet-faced young woman of 20，with dark eyes and black curly hair．There was one question always in my mind：What was my mother like？If only I could have known her!
Twenty years passed．I had grown up，married and had a baby，named Lucy for her grandmother-the mother I'd so longed to know．
One spring morning，18-month-old Lucy and I boarded a train for Morgantown to visit Aunt Ruth．A woman offered me half her seat in the crowded car．I thanked her and busied myself with Lucy，while the woman turned her attention to the landscape speeding by．
After settling my baby in my arms for a nap，I started to talk with the woman．She said she was going to Morgantown to see her daughter and brand-new grandson．-Surely you know my aunt，Ruth Wood，‖I said．-She‘s had a real-estate office in Morgantown for years．‖
-No，‖she answered．-I‘ve been away a long time，and that name is not familiar to me．‖
For several minutes，the woman looked out of the window．Then，without turning her head，she began to speak．
-There was a Miss Lucy Wood，a teacher，in Morgantown years ago．She probably left there before you were born．You said the name Wood，and，suddenly，I can't stop thinking about her．I haven‘t thought of her for years，but once I loved her very much．She was my teacher．My parents owned a bakery on Watts Street．They were on the verge of divorce．They fought and quarreled all the time．I had to work very hard at home and in the bakery，too．
-I loved school，though I didn‘t make good grades．Miss Wood‘s room was a happy place； it seemed like heaven to me．One day，after my folks had a big fight at breakfast，I came to school late，holding back the tears．Miss Wood kept me after school．I thought she would scold me but，instead，she let me tell her my troubles．She made me feel how much my brothers and sisters，and even my parents，needed me and from that day on，my life was worth living．‖
-A few months later，I heard a little girl say：?Miss Wood‘s going to marry a missionary and live in China!‘I went home crying．My parents stopped in the middle of a fight to ask me what was wrong，but they could not know how great a light was going out in my life．I couldn‘t sleep that night．
-The next day，Miss Wood again kept me after school to see what was wrong．When I told her，she looked surprised and tender．?Please don‘t go way off to China!‘I begged．
-?Viola‘，she answered，?I can‘t give up China．I‘m going where my heart calls me，with the man I love．But I swear I‘ll think of you often，and I‘ll send you a postcard．‘
-I‘d never had any mail of my own，so that made me feel better．When I told my mother，she shook her head，saying．?Don‘t feel too bad，Viola，if she forgets； she‘ll have so many folks to write to．‘
-Two months later，I got a postcard with a picture of the Yangtze River，postmarked Chungking，China．?Are you still making me proud of you，my little brave one？‘it asked．If anyone had given me a million dollars，it couldn‘t have made me more proud．Right after that，my parents broke up and we moved away from Morgantown．
-Goodness，we are almost there!I‘ve talked too much．I do hope I haven‘t bored you．‖
Then，for the first time，she turned to me and saw the tears in my eyes．
-Would you like to see Lucy Wood‘s granddaughter？‖I asked．My baby was waking from her nap．My heart was singing．The burning question of my childhood had been richly answered．
