[单项选择]When you think of monkeys, you probably think of the tropics. Few species of monkeys venture into temperate lands. Nevertheless, there are one or two notable exceptions.
In the high Atlas Mountains of North Africa, where snowfall is common during the winter, small groups of Barbary apes roam through forests of cedar and oak. One isolated group of these monkeys can be found 200 miles to the north, living on the Rock of Gibraltar, at the southern most tip of Europe. How do naturalists explain this mystery Some believe that the monkeys colonized other areas of Europe in the distant past and that those of Gibraltar are the only surviving group. Others think that Arabic or British colonizers brought them to the Rock. Legend has it that the monkeys crossed the narrow straits dividing Europe from Africa by means of a long-lost underground tunnel. Whatever their origin, they are now the only free range monkeys found in Europe.
The Barbary apes are not actually apes. They are tailless
A. They may be the surviving group of European monkeys.
B. They may have been brought to Gibraltar by colonizers.
C. They may have come from Africa through the long-lost tunnel.
D. They may have swum across the narrow straits from Africa.

[单项选择]When you think of psychotherapy, the first image that comes to mind might be one of a distressed patient lying on a couch, talking, while a desk-bound therapist takes notes. But while traditional talk therapy can help people struggling with depression, anxiety and the stresses of daily life, the latest research on the brain and the mind-body connection has sparked a proliferation of approaches that may reach deeper levels of emotional healing than talking alone. Talking takes place in the cognitive, or " thinking, " part of the brain, and our thoughts are often the problem. To help combat negative or obsessive thinking, many new therapeutic approaches focus on letting go of thoughts and becoming anchored into bodily sensations. Though alternative treatments will probably never replace traditional talk therapy, new psychotherapeutic approaches can be used in conjunction with talk therapy to help people achieve optimal mental health. Alternative treatments range from techniques that are championed by mainstream mental health professionals to practices that are less frequently employed. Here is a glimpse into four of the more widely accepted nontraditional approaches, each with an element of mind-body awareness. Rooted in Buddhist meditation techniques, mindfulness practice is usually taught in a group, in which people learn to focus on their breath and body sensations in moment-to-moment awareness. Guided imagery is a mind-body technique that teaches people to use their imaginations to achieve a relaxed, focused state. Under the guidance of a therapist or CD, listeners use their senses to evoke positive, safe, relaxing images. Somatic experiencing is a body-focused intervention used to discharge tension that is stored in the body following a traumatic event. The therapist directs the patient to revisit the event in small doses while focusing on body sensations, guiding the patient to shift focus back and forth between the traumatic memory and an image of comfort and safety. As fears dissipate throughout the patient"s body, gentle touch or movement is used to help ground the person in the present moment. In a typical session of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, a patient revisits traumatic memories while following a pendulating object(such as a therapist"s waving finger)with the eyes. Originally developed to help veterans who suffered from PTSD, clinicians now use the therapy to treat such problems as anxiety and addiction. Frequently, the eye movements are replaced with audio tones alternating in each ear through headphones. The treatment also incorporates other mind-body approaches, such as focusing on body sensations and evoking images of positive resources that can help the patient work through disturbing events.What is the author"s purpose of writing this passage

B. To introduce some psychotherapy approaches which have been based on mind-body connection research.
C. To explain the importance of research on the brain and the mind-body connection as well as the application of the research.

When you imagine the desert, you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth’s largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.
In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall. More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation—which can be rain, sleet, hail, or snow—on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has an average temperature that usually falls below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all. This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than two inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more—between seven and eight inches a
