Sure, human dads can play catch and help with homework, but can they
give birth? Daddy sea horses can! This Father’s Day, while you’re showing respect to your dad, remember some of the best dads in the world
can also be found in the animal kingdom.
Sea Horses: The "Mr. Moms" of the marine world, male sea horses, carry up to 2,000 fertilized eggs in pouches in their stomachs until they hatch. Even after the babies are born, they stay inside the pouch until they are ready to venture out on their own.
Microhylid Frogs: Buy these dads a "Baby on Board" sign to put on their backs! These froggy fathers from New Guinea play piggyback once their babies hatch from their eggs. One by one, the dad lets as many as 24 froglets climb onto his back for a family road trip. He hops about 50 feet each night, and one by one, his kids jump off along the way to begin new lives of their own.
Darwin's Rheas: Thought your dad was overprotective? Darwin's rhea, also known as South American ostriches(鸵鸟), are so protective of their children that they routinely rush cowboys on horseback and have even been known to attack small airplanes on the ground if they get too close to their brood!
Marmosets: These little monkeys do everything but Lamaze class(心理助产课)! Dedicated dads assist during labor by biting off the umbilical cord(脐带)and cleaning up the afterbirth. They also let Mom get some R&R(rest & recreation)by taking care of the kids when they're not nursing. Sand Grouse: Talk about sponging off Dad! These pigeon-like birds live in areas where water is sparse, so fathers fly as many as 50 miles to get water for their kids. After they soak up the water in their breast feathers, they fly home and let their chicks suckle the moisture from their bodies.
Fathers of the animal kingdom are not that different from our own beloved dads. This Father's Day, when you are honoring your dad, honor animal dads, too, by practicing kindness and compassion toward all animals.

About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project. All of them felt really desperate due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.
One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, “Sir, I’ve promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. m.” His boss replied, “OK. You’re permitted to leave the office early today.”
The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?” His wife replied, “You don’t know?
Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.”
What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00 p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he’s promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it’s done, loyalty is established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way , can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other that the mastermind behind India’s successful nuclear weapons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India.
1. The scientist asked for an early leave because . A. he felt increasingly desperate about his work B. he meant to accompany his wife at dinner C. the task at hand was close to completion D. he’d promised to take his kids to a show
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题。由第二段科学家对他老板说的话 “I’ve promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. m.” 可知，答案为D。
2. The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife
was .
A. dissatisfied with his coming home late B. ready to serve dinner for him
C. grateful to his kind-hearted boss D. delighted to see him back home
答案解析：答案为A。本题为语义理解题。结合划线句子的上下文，科学家专注于工作，忘记了带孩子去看演出，回到家感到非常愧疚，可是孩子们并不在家，只有妻子一个人坐在客厅读杂志，作者用句子. “The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him.” 来描述此时科学家内心的活动 “情况非常糟糕，他一开口谈话必然会遭到妻子的责骂”， 因此划线部分的句子暗示科学家认为他的妻子对他的晚归非常不满意，故答案为A。 3. The boss took children to the exhibition . A. when it was too late for the scientist to do so B. because the scientist was absorbed in his work C. because he also wanted to see what was on show D. when the man’s wife asked him to do so
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由倒数第二段 “He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he’s promised to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there.”可知，老板带科学家的孩子去看演出是因为时间到了的时候科学家仍然专注于自己的工作，故答案为B。
4. All the scientists stayed loyal to their boss .
A. out of gratefulness for his thoughtfulness
B. because he had power over them
C. to learn how to live under pressure
D. every time he took the children to the show
答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。由倒数第二段最后两句话 “The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it’s done, loyalty is established.” 和最后一段首句 “That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge.” 可知，科学家忠实于他们的老板是因为老板体贴关心他们，因此科学家感激老板，不论压力多大也愿意为老板工作，故答案为A。
