Eating fat foods can be bad for your health，but simply smelling their cooking smoke might be harmful，too.Scientists reported that at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in San Francisco.

Some major restaurants have already changed the way they cook as a result of the research.The findings should also help experts to develop better filtering technologies to make healthier choices in the kitchen.

People have been cooking food for more than 100,000 years.Chimneys and windows have already been around since the Dark Ages.Yet，it wasn't until the mid­1990s that scientists started studying the components of cooking smoke and how that smoke might increase air pollution.

The first study on cooking smoke，carried out about 20 years ago，found that the most and the dirtiest cooking smoke came from hot hamburgers under high heat.Other foods followed far behind，including cooked French fries or baked pizza.In the new study，Kuehn and his colleagues used a new kind of equipment to examine more exactly the cooking smoke that comes out of a large variety of foods being cooked.They found that the dirtiest smoke by far came from fried chicken being cooked with peanut oil.Hot hamburgers came next.

So far，people have kept_a_watchful_eye_on the harm of breathing in cooking smoke in the world.Many researches on this subject have been carried out in many countries.As with cigarette smoke，though，the worry is that cooking smoke could get deep into our lungs，where it might cause cancer or other problems.One study in China，also more than 10 years ago，found the highest rates of lung cancer in women，even though men smoked the most cigarettes.Women did more of the cooking there，and the researchers drew a conclusion that the cooking smoke explained that.

Today on our program，we'll answer a question from Japan.A listener named Maki would like to know if the test known as the TOEIC is popular in the United States.The TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication)tests the ability of people to communicate in the workplace using everyday English.

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton，New Jersey，develops and administers the TOEIC.It says more than nine thousand organizations use the test in more than ninety countries.Each year the TOEIC is taken in the United States about twenty thousand times.So how popular does that make it? Well，consider that last year the test was given more than five million times worldwide.

Non­native English speakers take the test to show their English skills.The cost of the test is set locally in each country.The TOEIC is really two tests.People can take one or both of them.While one is a paper­and­pencil test which tests listening and reading skills，the other test，is given on a computer，testing speaking and writing skills.Eleven questions on the computer test require speaking.Eight other questions require written answers，including an opinion essay.

We visited the ETS Web site for more information about the TOEIC.But one of the first things we saw was a warning against “phishing scams” (钓鱼欺骗) that use e­mails，which claim to be from the ETS，to make people lose personal information or money.Spokeswoman Christine Betaneli advises people to take the TOEIC to be suspicious of any e­mail claiming to be from the ETS.They should be especially suspicious of e­mails that ask for information that they have already provided for the test.

That's the “Education Zone” for today.I'm Bob Doughty.Thank you for listening.

At the age of six months babies can sit up.According to psychologists，they have already developed a moral sense and can tell the difference between good and evil.A series of experiments is challenging the traditional views of many psychologists and social scientists that babies are born without a moral sense and that our morality is shaped by our parents and experiences.Instead，they suggest that the moral sense may be in the brain at birth.

Professor Paul Bloom，a psychologist at Yale University，said：“A growing body of evidence suggests that humans do have a moral sense from the very start of life.With the help of well designed experiments，you can see moral judgment and moral feeling even in the first year of life.”For one study，Professor Paul Bloom got babies aged between six months and a year to watch a puppet show in which a simple，colorful wooden shape with eyes tries to climb a hill.Sometimes the shape is helped up the hill by a second toy，while other times a third character pushes it down.In another experiment，the researchers invented a ‘one­act morality play’，in which a toy dog tries to open a box.The dog is joined by a teddy bear who helps him lift the lid，and another teddy bear who sits on the box.After watching these shows several times，the babies showed a strong preference to helpful good characters—the one who helped to climb the hill and the one who helped to open the box—and refused unhelpful bad ones.Some babies even gave their own punishment with a hit on the bad puppet's head.

Although the studies appear to show that morality is hard­wired into babies' brains，some psychologists urged caution.Dr Nadja Reissland said “The babies might just prefer to see things go up rather than down.In the second test，perhaps the bear closes the box to prevent the dog from getting in there because there is something dangerous inside.It is like a mother keeping children out of an area where there is something harmful.”

36．According to the experiments，at the age of six months babies ________.

A．can sit up by themselves and speak

B．have a sense of good and evil

C．prefer beautiful toys to ugly ones

D．know how to punish the bad guys

37．The traditional opinion about babies and moral senses is that ________.

A．the moral sense is in the brain at birth

B．experiments can improve babies' morality

C．babies' morality is influenced by parents

D．the moral sense is important to babies

38．How did Professor Paul Bloom come to his conclusion?

A．By designing experiments to test this idea.

B．By watching how the babies hit their toys.

C．By asking the parents of these babies some questions.

D．By carrying out all the necessary tests to check the view.

39．The researchers let another bear sit on the box so that they could find ________.

A．how the dog opened the box

B．if the babies would offer their help

C．whether the bear would leave of itself

D．whether the babies would show their hate

40．What Dr Nadja Reissland said means ________.

A．it's not completely right to say babies are born with a moral sense

B．what the babies did clearly showed that they could make a moral judgment.

C．the babies didn't like the bear just because their mothers didn't like it，either

D．the babies knew that helping someone up the hill is better than pushing him down

D

Happy? Angry? Anxious？How can we measure animals' emotions? A new study of animals' emotions suggests that，as in humans，emotions can tell animals about how dangerous their world is，and guide the choices that they make.The article of the study by Bristol University's Professor Mike Mendl is published online.

An animal living in an environment where it is often threatened by predators will develop a negative emotion or “mood”，such as anxiety.However，one in an environment with plenty of opportunities to get resources for survival will be in a more positive mood state.

The researchers say that these emotional states not only show the animal's experiences，they also help it decide how to make choices，especially in unclear situations，which could have good or bad results.An animal in a negative mood state will make a safety­first，“pessimistic” response to an unclear event—for example，it considers a noise in the grass as a signal of a predator—while an animal in a positive mood state will benefit from a more “optimistic” response，considering the noise as a signal of prey.

Professor Mike Mendl，Head of the Animal Welfare and Behavior research group at Bristol University's School of Clinical Veterinary Science，said “Because we can measure animals' choices objectively，we can use ‘optimistic’ and ‘pessimistic’ decision­making as a symbol of the animal's emotional state which itself is much more difficult to assess.Recent studies by our group and others suggest that this is a meritorious new approach to a variety of animal species.”

“Public interest in animal welfare remains high，with widespread meanings for the way in which animals are treated，used and included in society.To understand how animals experience the world and how they should be treated，we need to better understand their emotional lives.” Mike Mendl said.The researchers believe Professor Mike Mendl's study can help them to better understand and assess an animal's emotions.

41．What is the BEST title for the passage?

A．The Living Environment of Wild Animals.

B．The Best Way to Measure animals' emotions.

C．Emotions Help Animals to Make Choices.

D．Different kinds of animals' emotions.

42．When an animal is in a negative mood state，________.

A．its response to an unclear event is pessimistic

B．it will pay little attention to an unclear event

C．it is easy for it to make right decisions

D．it has more opportunities to get food

43．The underlined word “meritorious” in Paragraph 4 has the same meaning as ________.

A．valuable B．useless C．unbelievable D．unexpected

44．We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．few people care about animal welfare nowadays

B．the environment can influence animals' emotions

C．the animals with positive emotions live longer

D．there is no way to assess an animal's emotions

45．Professor Mike Mendl advises people to better understand animals' emotions in order to ________.

A．tell people to build more protected areas for animals

B．explain animals have the same emotions as people

C．find better ways to prevent animals from being killed

D．make people know how to treat animals properly
