He starts painting when he is three years old, and when he is five years old, he is already very good at it. He paints many beautiful and interesting pictures, and a lot of people buy his pictures. They say, "This boy is going to be famous when he's a little older, and then we're going to sell these pictures for a lot of money." Jimmy's pictures are different from others' because he never paints on the whole of the paper. He only paints on half of it, and the other half is always empty. "That's very clever," people say. "No other painters have ever done that!" One day someone asks Jimmy, "Please tell me, Jimmy, why do you only paint on the bottom half of the paper, but not on the top half?" "Because I'm small," Jimmy says, "and my brushes can't reach very high." Question: Jimmy only paints half of the paper because _ . Options: A: he was very clever. B: he was very short. C: he was very tall. D: he was very big.

For example, scientists have ever found that a dolphin can make a shy eel come out of its hole with a dead fish. Dolphins use different sounds to exchange information with each other. Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of individual words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence. Most animals enjoy playing -- but dolphins seem to like making their games as challenging as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the "game" and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour. Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our "IQ tests" . For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise. They do this because they will get a fish as a prize. There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is certain that watching a dolphin show is fun. ,. (5) Question: Why do the dolphins jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise? Options: A: Because they want to get a fish as a prize. B: Because they enjoy playing on the water. C: Because they want to play with other dolphins. D: Because the dolphin keepers want them to come out.
