24、he deer and the rabbits whenever he felt like it; but he never did learn how to kill for himself. You cant teach old lions new tricks. He lived on deer mostly, and slept on a sofa in our living roomI wouldnt have him inside our bedroom, no matter how often Bertie asked. You know, I have to draw the
25、line somewhere.Berties leg was never cured. When it was bad, he often needed a stick, or me, or the lion to lean on. It pained him a lot, especially on cold and wet days, and he never slept well. On Sundays the three of us would walk around the park together, and Bertie would sit on the top of Wood
26、Hill with his arm around the lions neck and I would fly kites. You know, Ive always loved kites. And the lion liked to break them into pieces.The lion never showed any interest in running away, and even if hed wanted to, the park wall was too high for an old lion to jump over. Wherever Bertie went,
27、he wanted to go too. And if ever Bertie went out in the car, then hed sit by me in the kitchen, and watch me with those great amber eyes, listening all the while for the sound of Berties car coming up the path to the front of the house.The lion was getting older. And he became weak in his legs and c
28、ould see very little. He spent his last days sleeping at Berties feet. When he died, we buried (埋葬) him at the bottom of the hill. Berties wanted it that way so he could always see the place from the kitchen window. I suggested Bertie plant a tree in case he forgot where the lion was. “I will, but h
29、e should get more than a tree.” Bertie said.Bertie was sad for weeks, months after the lion died. There was nothing I could do to cheer him or even comfort him.

32、he owners of the lion B. tricks that Bertie and his wife taught the lionC. the habits that the lion formed in Berties familyD. the last days the lion spent with Bertie and his wifeDNature and culture are often seen as opposite ideas. What belongs to nature cannot be the result of human activities an
33、d on the other hand, cultural development is achieved against nature. However, this is not the only opinion on the relationship between nature and culture. Studies in the development of humans suggest that culture, whether taken as an effort against nature or a natural effort, is part of the develop
34、ment of the human species (物种). Several modern writers saw the process of education as a struggle (斗争) against human nature. We are born with wild natures, such as eating and behaving in a disorganized way or acting selfishly. Education uses culture as a way to get us out of our widest natures; it i
35、s thanks to culture that the human species could learn to adapt (适应) progress and raise itself above and beyond other species. Over the past century and a half, however, studies in the history of human development have shown that the formation of culture is part of the biological adaptation. Conside
36、r, for example, hunting, It seems to be an adaptation, which allowed humans to move into new and different areas, opening up the opportunity to change living habits. At the same time, the development of weapons (武器) is related to that adaptation-from rocks and stones to a set of hunting tools, and f
37、rom hunting tools to rules connecting to the proper use of weapons. Hunting also seems to be responsible for a whole set of bodily abilities, such as balancing on one foot. Just think of how this very simple thing is closely connected to dance, a key expression of human culture. It is then clear tha
38、t biological development and cultural development are closely tied. The transmission of culture seems to be directly connected to whats in our blood. Just as snails carry their shells, so do we bring along our culture. However, culture is also passed on among people of the same time or among people
39、belonging to different populations.

To suggest some possible ways of changing living habits.B. To stress the importance of tools in humans struggle for
41、life.C. To show how culture develops as humans adapt to the environment.D. To explain why there is a need to call for the proper use of weapons.36. The word “transmission” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_”. A. systemB. spreadC. startD. spirit37. What is the writers opinion on the nature-culture rela
42、tionship?A. Culture and nature are separate yet balanced.B. Culture depends much on nature to progress.C. Nature and culture are different but connected.D.
