Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity (均匀) of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust (刺) into water at body temperature, even if the finger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.
By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom we come to realise that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitations of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光谱) seen by colour conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than us, because the ultra-violet (紫外线) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的) part of the insect's spectrum and for honey-bees at least constitutes (构成，组成) a separate colour.
From the passage we realise that ______.

A full moon was shining down on the jungle. Accompanied only by an Indian guide, the American explorer and archaeologist Edward Herbert Thompson-- thirteen hundred years after the Mayas had left their cities and made a break for the country farther north -- was riding through the New Empire that they had built for themselves, which had collapsed after the arrival of the Spaniards. He was searching for Chichen Itza, the largest, most beautiful, mightiest, and most splendid of all Mayan cities. Horses and men had been suffering intense hardships on the trail. Thompson’s head sagged on his breast from fatigue, and each time his horse stumbled be all but fell out of the saddle. Suddenly his guide shouted to him. Thompson woke up with a start. He looked ahead and saw a fairyland.
Above the dark treetops rose a mound, height and steep, and on top of the mound was a temple, bathed in cool moonlight. In the hush of the night it towered over the treetops like the Parthenon of some Mayan acropolis. It seemed to grow in size as they approached. The Indian guide dismounted, unsaddled his horse, and roiled out his blanket for the night’s sleep. Thompson could not tear his fascinated gaze from the great structure. While the guide prepared his bed, he sprang from his horse and continued on foot. Steep stairs overgrown with grass and bushes, and in part fallen into ruins, led from the base of the mound up to the temple. Thompson was acquainted with this architectural form, which was obviously some kind of pyramid. He was familiar, too, with the function of pyramids as known in Egypt. But this Mayan version was not a tomb, like the pyramids of Gizeh. Externally it rather brought to mind a ziggurat, but to a much greater degree than the Bablyloinan ziggurats it seemed to consist mostly of a stony hill providing support or the enormous stairs rising higher and higher, towards the gods of the sun and moon.
Thompson climbed up the steps. He looked at the ornamentation, the rich reliefs. On top, almost 96 feet above the jungle, he surveyed the scene, lie counted one two-three-a half dozen scattered buildings, half-hidden in shadow, often revealed by nothing more than a gleam of moonlight on stone.
This, then, was Chichen-ltza. From its original status as advance outpost at the beginning of the great trek to the north, it had grown into a shining metropolis, the heart of the New Empire. Again and again during the next few days
Thompson climbed on to the old ruins." I stood upon the roof of this temple one morning" he writes" just as the first rays of the sun reddened the distant horizon. The morning stillness was profound. The noises of the night had ceased, and those of the day were not yet begun. All the sky above and the earth below seemed to be breathlessly waiting for something. Then the great round sun came up, flaming splendidly, and instantly the whole world sang and hummed. The birds in the trees and the insects on the ground sang a grand Te Deum. Nature herself taught primal man to be a sun worshipper and man in his heart of hearts still follows the ancient teaching."
Thompson stood where he was, immobile and enchanted. The jungle melted away before his gaze. Wide spaces opened up, processions crept up to the temple site, music sounded, palaces became filled with reveling, the temples hummed with religious adjuration. He try to recognize his task. For out there in the jungle green he could distinguish a narrow path, barely traced out in the weak light, a path that might lead to Chichen-Itza’s most exciting mystery: the Sacred Well.
The territory, which Thompson was exploring _____.

听力原文： An $18.5 billion bid for Unocal made Thursday by one of the largest state-controlled oil companies in China is the latest symbol of the country's growing economic clout and of the soaring ambitions of its corporate giants. The unsolicited bid by China National Offshore Oil Corp, or CNOOC, initiated the first-ever big takeover battle by a Chinese company for a U.S. corporation. It also may be a watershed in Chinese corporate behavior. and demonstrates the increasing influence of Wall Street's bare-knuckled hostile- takeover tactics in Asia CNOOC's bid, which comes two months after Unocal agreed to be sold to Chevron, an American oil giant, for $16.4 billion, is expected to trigger a potentially costly bidding war over California-based Unocal, a large, independent oil company. Moreover, the bid is likely to provoke a fierce debate in Washington about U.S. trade policies with China and the role of the two governments in the growing trend of deal making between companies in both countries. A consortium of investors led by Haier Group, one of the biggest Chinese companies, made a bid this week to acquire Maytag, the American appliance giant, for $1.3 billion, surpassing an earlier bid made by a group of American investors. Last month, Lenovo Group, the largest computer maker in China, completed its $1.75 billion deal to acquire IBM's legendary personal computer business, creating the third-largest computer maker after Dell and Hewlett-Packard
