19、ng out the crusts of the bread that were not fresh for the birds Not surprisingly, this attracted few birds apart from the odd sparrow or starling Later on, we discovered packets of wild bird food at the local store, which brought in more interesting species. Since then feeding garden birds has come
20、 a long way for me. Today, I can enjoy a wide variety of birds.Sometimes I wonder if we might be feeding our garden birds better than our kids.All this comes at a cost to us of an estimated 200 million a year. But I firmly believe what the scientists from a university said, “Our generosity is having
21、 a major effect on the behavior, ecology and even evolution of these familiar species. ” Take the goldfinch for example. When I began birding in the 1960s, this was a fairly rare bird, found along low bushes or in fields with weeds. Today, they can be seen in four out of five gardens.During the bitt
22、er winter of 1890-1891, workers in London gave the small amount of their packed lunches to starving songbirds. And in the 1980s, the British were encouraged to offer food to garden birds Then, in 2005, came Springwatch, who put paid to the widespread belief that we should only feed garden birds duri
23、ng the winter. In fact, we should provide food all year round: the most crucial time is the early spring, when natural resources are at their lowest.Some argue with greater reasons that because most birds coming to feeders are the larger, commoner and more aggressive species, they will gain an unfai
24、r advantage over the smaller and weaker ones But this ignores one major benefit of feeding garden birds 一 the way it connects millions of people to the natural world. This is especially important for people who may find it hard to gain access to the wider countryside, including young children and si

Microexpressions occur in everyone in a second, often without their knowledge These facial expressions including surprise, anger, fear, disgust, happiness, an
29、d so on can reveal our true feelings about another person or situation.People might try to hide or obscure (模糊)them in different ways informed by culture, but to a practiced reader the true emotions are always visible. In the Philippines, showing both positive and negative emotion is a sign of openn
30、ess and honesty But visible negative emotion is seen as rude or aggressive while expressing too much positive feeling is considered embarrassing in Japan. However, when we evaluate people from both countries for their microexpressions, we find that they actually experience emotions at more or less t
31、he same level of frequency.A few years ago, my husband and I traveled to Qatar to lead a body language discussion for 200 HR (人 力资源)leaders Womens bodies were completely covered, so we couldnt see thposture or gestures. When standing on stage, all the men looked only at my husband and all the women
32、merely at me. Luckily, we knew from the videos wed previously made of Qataris that the flashes of emotion in th&r faces reflected the same feelings we might find from audience members anywhere else in the world. And so we could adjust what we want to show accordingly, and felt just as comfortable as
33、 we would have at home.To recognize and understand miroexpressions, you should first study the common microexpressions to know the typical feature of each. And then educate yourself on the local body language 一 including masking techniques before visiting or interacting with another culture. Third,
34、when youre in the moment, pay much more attention. You cant interpret microexpressions if you dont notice them. Fourth, listen to your intuition (直觉).When you notice a tiny facial movement, ask yourself, What could that mean?” Besides, you might also try to imitate the movement.28. What is special a

Despite the claims of some supplements that they could improve cognitive (认知的)skills, no clear evidence was found to
38、back this up.The report said, For the handful that have been researched, several well-designed studies of supplements for brain health found no benefit in people with normal nutrient levels.
