This skill, to understand the thinking and feeling of others, is what researchers call theory of mind.For example, think about the faces of people and animals in stories.

32、nd up to a few meters from its partnering plant, meaning that all of the plant life within a region likely connected to one another. The partnership is beneficial for both parties involved, plants providecarbohydrates (碳水化合物) to the funguses and in exchange,the funguses aid in gathering water and pr
33、oviding nutrients to its partnering plant. A study conducted by Rensen Zeng of the South China Agricultural University found that this also allowed for plants to warn one another of potential harm. The study showed Broad Beans used the fungal network to spy on one another for upcoming danger. Like o
34、ur Internet, this fungal connectivity is also full of crime. Some plants, such as Golden Marigolds have been found to release poisons into the network to slow down the growth of surrounding plants in the fight for water and light. Other plants, such as the Phantom Orchid, do not have the chlorophyll
35、(叶绿素) and must get the necessary nutrients from surrounding plants. Research suggests that animals such as insects and worms may be able to detect slight exchanges of nutrients through the network, allowing them to more easily find delicious roots to feed on; however, this has not been conclusively
36、made clear in experimentation. The more we learn about this phenomenon, the more our understanding of the plant life of our planet will continue to change.

Though it is intended to attract people from all walks of life, most of its regular customers are those who work in th
58、e companies alongside Wall Street. One night at Balthazar, four Wall Street businessmen ordered the restaurants most expensive red wine: a $2,000 bottle of Chteau Mouton Rothschild, the most famous brand of Bordeaux (波尔多葡萄酒). One of the two waiters transferred the Bordeaux into a fancy glass contain
59、er at the waiters counter. Meanwhile, a young couple ordered the restaurants cheapest red wine, an $18 pinot noir (黑皮诺葡萄酒). Usually, people who ordered pinot noir poured the wine directly into their glasses, but this couple insisted the wine be poured into a fancy glass container before they drank.
60、These two very different wines were now in the same containers. Mistaking the $18 wine for the $2,000 Rothschild, the first waiter poured the cheap wine for the businessmen. The businessman hosting the other three considered himself a wine expert. He took a taste of the cheap wine in the first place
61、, and showing off, he burst into delight about its purity. “Fantastic!” he claimed. The young couple, who ordered the $18 pinot noir, were then unintentionally served the $2,000 Rothschild by the second waiter. On taking their first drink of what they believed was cheap wine, they jokingly pretended
62、 to be drinking an expensive wine and copied all the behaviors of a wine expert, shaking the wine glasses, observing the liquid inside and tasting it slowly, totally fascinated. Five minutes later, the two waiters discovered their error, and horrified, phoned me at home. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格
