28、kinder, more considerate person, a study has found. Readers were more likely to act in a socially acceptable manner, while those who preferred watching television came across as less friendly and less understanding of others views, researchers said.123 participants in the study were quizzed on their
29、 preferences for books, TV and plays at Kingston University, London. They were then tested on how much they considered peoples feelings and whether they acted to help others. Researchers told the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton yesterday that fiction fans showed more positive so

Comedy fans scored the highest for relating to others. The study suggested reading allows people to see different points of view, enabl

Engaging with fictional prose and comedy in particular could be key to improving peoples empathetic abilities.”However, the authors warned the study did not prove cause-and-ef

37、m the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline is nearly 75 percent.Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patr
38、ick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).But in comparing a study of Calif
39、ornia forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered t
40、he greatest water shortage. The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt.Since the 1
41、930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.32What is the second paragraph mainly about?AThe
42、 seriousness of big-tree loss in California.BThe increasing variety of California big trees.CThe distribution of big trees in California forests.DThe influence of farming on big trees in California.33Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?AEcological studies of fores
