Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous 19th-century poet and artist, was once approached by an

elderly man. The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent. Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti s judgment. He then apologized for taking up Rossetti s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings — these done by a young art student？ Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. " These," he said, "oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it." Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. "Who is this fine young artist？" he asked. "Your son？" "No," said the old man sadly. "It is me — 40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up — too soon."

An old man asked Rossetti to______.

A．draw a picture for him

B．teach him how to paint

C．evaluate his drawings

D．help improve his painting skills

根据下面内容，回答题：

The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as， on the stage， the horse slowly tapped out the beat．Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer"s question．After the final tap， the horse paused， seemed to look around and stopped．The crowd went wild !

The horse"s name was Clever Hans， the Educated Horse， and was featured in a vaudeville（杂耍）act in the early 1900s， in Europe．When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner，Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves．For example， if the answer was sixty-eight， Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof．Even more remarkable，the owner would leave the room after asking the question， so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse．A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man"s!

It wasn"t until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed．The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals．The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd"s reaction．Members of the audience would start involuntarily， or give some unconscious signal，when Hans reached the right answer．Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome（综合征）， whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!

This passage is mainly about________．查看材料

A.animal intelligence

B.mathematical skills

C.Clever Hans

D.unconscious behavior
