Every day millions of letters go from one country to another． Letters mailed in Italy are received in Japan． Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa． On the letters are many different kinds of stamps，bought in different countries．

The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible． It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages（包裹）． It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）．

One hundred years ago，international mail did not move so smoothly． One country did not always accept another country's letters． Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries． Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）．Some were lost along the way．

There are several ways of testing the intelligence(智力) of animals. In one test, some scientists put three plates on the table. While the animal watched, they put food under one of the plates. Then they took the animal away. Some time later, they brought it back to see if it remembered which plate had the food. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can last. The

scientists would try showing the plate to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They found out that chimpanzees and elephants have the best memory, and are able to remember the correct plate for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs come next, but they can only remember for nine hours.

The scientists made a large maze(迷宫) and ran the chimpanzees and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult with many dead ends. It took the chimpanzees ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. The test showed that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.

From this and other tests the scientists found out an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain is ten pounds, but that is only 1/600 of its body. A chimpanzee’s brain is about one pound, and it’s 1/120 of its body. So the chimpanzee has five times as much brain as the elephant has ----more brain.

A. are the cleverest animals B. are cleverer than chimpanzees

C. have worse memories than dogs D. are less clever than chimpanzees ( )73. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Scientists have found out the secret of the intelligence of animals. B. Dogs are less useful than elephants.

C. Chimpanzees and elephants have better memories than people. D. The heavier an animal’s brain is, the cleverer it is.

( )74. If an animal’s body is 2100 pounds, and it has a 3-pound brain, it is ______. A. as clever as a chimpanzee B. cleverer than an elephant C. less clever than an elephant D. as clever as an elephant ( )75. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. Want to know about the intelligence of animals? B. The Chimpanzee’s brain C. The elephant’s memory D. Where to test animals’ memory 五，书面表达。（本题25分）
