Though pinioned swans generally seem happy, under proper care, by hatching and rearing their young without any trouble, at migration time things become different: they repeatedly swim to the lee side of the pond, in order to have the whole extent of its surface at their disposal, trying to take off. Again and again the grand preparations end in a pathetic flutter of their half wings; a truly sorry picture!
This, however, rarely awakens the pity of the zoo visitor, least of all when such an originally highly intelligent and mentally alert animal has deteriorated, in confinement, into a crazy idiot, a very caricature of its former self. Sentimental old ladies, the fanatical sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, have no compunction in keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage or even chained to a perch. Together with the large corvines, the parrots are probably the only birds which suffer from that state of mind, common to prisoners, namely, boredom.
What is an "outlet" in the context of this passage？
A．An opportunity for expression.
B．A place to let.
C．A chance of escape into a wood.
D．An exit for a marketer.
A.lack intelligence
B.are destructive
C.need considerable care
D.demand affection

The ownership of pets brings a variety of benefits that the uninitiated would never believe. For every tale of shredded cushion, flattened plants, chew slippers, there is another testimonial of intelligence, sympathy and undying devotion. Now the growing body of research into the medical and social advantages of pet ownership has confirmed what pet owners have always intuitively known: that pets are not just loving companions but actually do us good. Researchers have established the value of pets in soothing and reassuring humans, particularly when ill, lonely or in distress. Perhaps the unquestioning love and approval pets give us is something we don't always get from our human nearest and dearest.
Our makeshift understanding psychology leads many of us to view very close relationships with pets with suspicion. Childless couples in particular give rise to speculation, but a consultant in animal behavior. says, "There is no evidence that a pet is a direct substitute for child." And while many adults feel foolish if caught talking to their pets, they have no need to. The experts say you cannot have' a close relationship with a pet without treating it as a person and that talking to a pet is not unhealthy--simply a way of establishing camaraderie.
The shaking helplessness of a young puppy or fluffy kitten stirs protective instincts deep within us and prompts many parents to buy pets for their children in the hope of instilling a sense of responsibility and caring and acceptance of the facts of life and death. Hut animals don't have to be soft and fond to bring out the best in us. A social worker encouraged aggressive boys to handle ferrets--if handled correctly they respond with friendship; if incorrectly they bite."
There seems to be no doubt that, emotionally and physically, our pets do us good--there is a price to be paid. When loved animal dies it is often a traumatic event--and then where do we turn for comfort？
Pets are sometimes criticized because they ______.
A．lack intelligence
B．are destructive
C．need considerable care
D．demand affection
Much of the mystery is buried deep in the nitty-gritty of technique. The impact of color, the very nature of color, is experienced in relation to other colors and also in relation to a medium. A certain red pigment, for example, will make an utterly different impression if it is presented in a water-based or oil-based medium, in a scumbled or impastoed fashion, as a mark left by a stick of pastel, as ink printed from an etching plate or a woodblock. And all of this still leaves aside the emotional or poetic or psychological ramifications of colors -- the question of what this red or that blue suggests or does not suggest, and to whom, and under what conditions. Color, which most of us begin life by regarding as one of the verities, red-yellow-blue being as fundamental as the ABCs, can eventually seem to be an experience of the most radical subjectivity. Artists aim to give that coloristic subjectivity a power that is both immediate and enduring.
A walk through New York's galleries will tell you that there are a vast number of ways in which color can be presented to the public. A look through the impressive literature on the development of color in art, which has been growing rapidly in the past decade, will tell you that history prepares us for this situation. Painters who want to pull emotional nuances out of subtly mixed colors will be said by some to be nostalgic for the tonal modulations of another age. Although we may be inclined to think of "modem" color as abstract color -- as color that is detached from representation -- it can be argued that abstract color is at least as old as naturalistic color, embracing both the heraldic imagery of the Middle Ages and the polychrome architecture of ancient times.
Nowadays color, which reaches us in so many kinds of keyed-up, eye-popping technologically generated forms, can seem more a matter of "culture" than of "nature." The zingy, cheerfully artificial color that Jeremy Blake uses to considerable effect in the kinetic flood of images that fill his DVD projections is selfevidently computer-based. There are also many painters who, while working with brush and canvas, like to mirror the riot of contemporary color. Trevor Winkfield, who showed new paintings this winter, will strike some gallerygoers as an artist who never met a color he didn't like.
We learn in the first paragraph that ______.
A．the few basic colors are more important than any mixed color
B．mixing colors can be very difficult
C．colors have very strong expressive powers
D．a single color is more mysterious than colors in combination
"You appear to be astonished," Holmes said, smiling at my expression. "Now that I do know it I shall do my best to forget it. You see, I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose: A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has difficulty in laying his hand upon it. It is a mistake to think that the little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it, there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you know before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones."
"But the Solar System!" I protested.
"What the deuce is it to me？" he interrupted impatiently,
One morning, I picked up a magazine from the table and attempted to while away the time with it, while my companion munched silently at his toast. One of the articles had a pencil mark at the heading, and I naturally began to run my eye through it.
Its somewhat ambitious title was "The Book of Life," and it attempted to show how much an observant man might learn by an accurate and systematic examination of all that came in his way. It struck me as being a remarkable mixture of shrewdness and of absurdity. The reasoning was close and intense, but the deduction appeared to me to be far-fetched and exaggerated. The writer claimed by a momentary expression, a twitch of a muscle or a glance of an eye, to fathom a man's inmost thought. Deceit, according to him, was impossibility in the case of one trained to observation and analysis. His conclusions were as infallible as so many propositions of Euclid. So startling would his results appear to the uninitiated that until they learned the processes by which he had arrived at them they might well consider him as a necromancer.
"From a drop of water," said the writer, "a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic. So all life is a great chain, the nature of which is known whenever we are shown a single link of it. Like all other arts, the science of Deduction and Analysis is one which can be acquired by long and patient study, nor is life long enough to allow any mortal to attain the highest possible perfection in it."
This smartly written piece of theory I could not accept until a succession of evidences justified it.
What is the author's attitude toward Holmes？
A．Praising.
B．Critical.
C．Ironical.
D．Distaste.
