  Most people think of a camel as an obedient(驯服的)beast of burden, because it is best known for its ability to carry heavy loads across vast stretches of desert without requiring water. In reality, the camel is considerably more than just the Arabian equivalent(等同物)of the mule. It also possesses a great amount of intelligence and sensitivity(敏感).

  The Arabs say that camels are so acutely aware of injustice (不公平)and ill-treatment that a camel owner who punishes one of the beasts too hard finds it difficult to escape the camel's revenge(报仇). Apparently, the animal will remember an injury and wait for an opportunity to get revenge.

  In order to protect themselves from the vengeful(报仇的) beasts, Arabian camel drivers have learned to trick their camels into believing they have achieved revenge. When an Arab realizes that he has excited a camel's rage(愤怒), he places his own garments(外衣)on the ground in the animal's path. He arranges the clothing so that it appears to cover a man's body. When the camel recognizes its master's clothing on the ground, it seizes the pile with its teeth, shakes the garments angrily and steps on them in a rage again and again. In the end, after its anger has died away, the camel leaves, believing its revenge is completed. Only then does the owner of the garments come out of hiding, safe for the time being, thanks to this clever trick.

(1)Which of the following is mentioned in this passage?

[  ]

A.The camel never drinks water.

B.The camel is always violent.

[  ]

A.camels are generally kind towards their owners

B.camels are as stupid and sensitive as mules

C.camels don't see very well

D.camels try to punish people who ill-treat them

(3)The writer makes the camel's vengeful behavior clear to the readers by presenting

[  ]

A.a well-planned argument

B.a large variety of examples

C.some eyewitness accounts

D.a typical incident

B.a camel is very clever.

C.A camel is dangerous for its owner.

  Camels are large animals living in dry areas.There are two species of camels:the Arabian camel with a single hump from the dry desert areas of West Asia, and the Bactrian camel with two humps from Central and East Asia.Camels are over 7 feet tall and weigh over 1,600 pounds.They will live up to 40 to 50 years.Most camels are domesticated(驯化)and fed by people.Camels are plant-eaters.

  Camels are very strong animals with wide, padded feet.They have thick leathery pads on their knees and chest.Camels have nostrils(鼻孔)that can open and close, protecting them from the desert environment.Bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes protect their eyes from sand.Their mouth is extremely tough, allowing camels to eat thorny(带刺的)desert plants.Their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand.Their thick coats reflect sunlight, and also protect them from the intense heat from desert sand.Their long legs help by keeping them further from the hot ground.

  Camels can go without food and water for 3 to 4 days.They do not store water in their humps as is commonly believed.The humps are actually a container of fat.Camels are incredibly(难以置信)well-adapted to their environment.When conditions heat up, camels can increase their own body temperature, which prevents sweating and therefore water loss.They may not sweat at all during the day.
