He had earlier killed his mother, who was a teacher at the school.Former school
26、bus driver Marsha Moskowitz is in disbelief. She once drove at least two of the victims to school,and remembers driving the gunman when he was in middle school. “I recall him to be quiet, reserved and very shy. Pretty much stayed to himself on the bus. ”Connecticut State Police spokesman Paul Vance
27、says Lanza forced his way into the building. “We have established the point of entry. He was not voluntarily let into the school at all, but he forced his way into the school. ? But thats as far as we can go on that. ”As the nation struggles to understand how the tragedy could have occurred, Lawrenc
28、e Palinkas, Professor of Social Work at the University of Southern California, notes the reason why so many young Americans have become targets in mass killings is unknown. “Largely because we still dont have enough data surprisingly, given the increasing number of e- vents. ? But generally when hel
29、pless populations are victimized like that,its usually to send a message, and its unfortunately a message of intense anger. ” As of now, no one knows the reason why Adam Ianza did what he did, and many residents of Newtown fear they never will.The queen, who never gives interviews and normally restr

Experts recently discovered that the plants trap and eat tiny
35、 worms. Less than one percent of all flowering plant species are meat-eating.Philcoxia minensis plants grow in Brazil. They get some of their nutrients the way most plants do. Their roots absorb them from the soil. However, the small plants tend to grow in sandy areas where few nutrients are availab
36、le. That fact made researchers wonder how the plants could survive, especially because their root systems are not developed well. Scientists became even more curious when they noticed that the plants have leaves undergroundIt doesnt make sense to have leaves underground, so we supposed that the plan
37、ts are getting some other kind of benefit from the leaves, researcher Rafael Oliveira told reporters.Experts found roundworms (姻虫)stuck to the plants7 leaves. So they did an experiment. They grew special roundworms. Then they buried them in soil with Philcoxia minen- sis plants. When the experts lat
38、er tested the plants ,leaves, they found evidence of the worms inside. Scientists say the plants trap the roundworms using a sticky substance. Then they release a special liquid to digest the tiny creatures.The find has made experts hungry to know whether other meat eating plants are hiding in plain
39、 sight. This leads to the question of whether there are other carnivorous(食肉的) plants out there,” researcher Peter Fritsch told reporters.55.Experts succeed in discovering that the plants _A. can grow in sandy areas B, can trap and eat tiny wormsC. look like ordinary flowers D. can be transplanted i

44、s hormone levels but they fear it could get much worse and over the long term “ could endanger the survival of the very wildlife they want to see. ”Although money produced through ecotourism, which has been growing at about 1030 percent a year, has major benefits for poor countries and people living
45、 in rural areas, the Swissbased World Conservation Union (IUCN) and some governments fear not all projectsare audited and based on environmentally friendly policies,according to the magazine.Transmission of disease to wildlife,or small changes to wildlife health through disturbance of daily life or
46、increased stress levels, while not obvious to the casual observer, may translate to lower survival and breeding,” said Philip Seddon , of the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand.Scientists have noticed that bottleneck dolphins along the northeastern coast of New Zealand become nervously exci

Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by colorists are producing smaller babies.Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be de

And when youre doing your holiday shopping online ,make sure youre holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical s
53、ensation(感觉)of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.Psychologists have known that one persons perception(感知)of anothers “warmth” is a powe
54、rful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either warm or “cold” is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold,person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies7 conceptual sense of the world around
55、 them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958,showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlow s work and later studies hav
56、e led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills.Feelings of warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describ
57、ing people as “warm”or “cold” is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who
58、was unaware of the study s hypotheses (假设),handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink,to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of “Person A” based on a particular
59、 description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly,” says Bargh.63.According to Paragraph 1,a persons emotion may be affected by _A. the visitors to his o

How
63、ever, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.Shades of that spirit spread over todays conversations. Once a friend arid I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked light heartedly out the door ,picnic basket in
64、 hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, badday for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain. ,,I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. A
65、s I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Grey hound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile,“Oh that bus left five minutes ago. ” Dreams of head-cutting!Its not the news that makes someone angry. Its the unsympathetic attitude with which its delivered. Everyone must give bad news
66、from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didnt get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should sha
67、re the feeling of the receiver.Unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. When you7 re tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isnt ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter told you that he just served the last piece? It make
68、s you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, 1 would have appreciated his warming . Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have sa
