25、们一组人都将按照简研究黑猩猩的方法去森林里拜访它们。简研究这些黑猩猩家庭已经很多年了,她帮助人们了解黑猩猩的行为跟人类的行为是多么相似。我们当天的第一个活动是观察黑猩猩一家醒来。这意味着我们要返回前一天晚上我们离开黑猩猩一家睡觉的大树旁。大家坐在树荫下等待着,这时黑猩猩一家睡醒了,开始离开。然后这些黑猩猩游荡进森林里,我们跟在它们的后面。在大部分时间里,黑猩猩或互相喂食,或彼此清理(身体),作为在它们的家庭里表达爱的一种方式。简提醒我们,到下午的时候我们一组人会非常累又非常脏,她说对了。不过到傍晚时分我们觉得这一切都是值得的。我们看到黑猩猩妈妈跟它的孩子们在树上玩耍,入夜时,我们看见它们回窝里
26、一起睡觉。我们意识到黑猩猩家庭成员之间的关系跟人类家庭成员之间的关系一样牢固。在简之前没有人完全了解黑猩猩的习性。她花了多年时间观察并记录黑猩猩的日常活动。从孩提时代起,简就想在动物自身的生活环境中从事(研究)动物的工作。然而这不是一件简单的事。当她1960年最初来到贡贝时,对女性来说,住进大森林还是很稀罕的事情。她母亲头几个月来帮她的忙,这才使她得以开始自己的计划。她的工作改变了人们对黑猩猩的看法。比如,她发现的一件重要的事是黑猩猩捕猎且吃肉。在那之前,所有人都认为黑猩猩只吃水果和坚果。事实上她看到过一群黑猩猩捕杀一只猴子,然后把它吃掉了。她还发现了黑猩猩之间是如何交流的,而且她对黑猩猩肢体
27、语言的研究帮助她弄明白了黑猩猩的社会体系。40年来,简古道尔一直在呼吁世人了解并尊重这些动物的生活。她主张应该让野生动物留在野外生活,而不能用于娱乐或广告。她帮忙建起了黑猩猩可以安全生活的保护区。她过着忙碌的生活,但是她说:“我一停下来,一切都会涌上心头,我就会想起实验室里的黑猩猩。这太可怕了。当我看着这些野生黑猩猩时,这种感觉就萦绕在我心头。我心里想:难道它们不幸运吗?然后我就想起那些尽管没有做过错事却被关在笼子里的小黑猩猩。你一旦看到那个场面,就永不会忘记”她已经完成了她想做的一切:在动物自身的生活环境中从事(研究)动物的工作,获得博士学位,并证明女人和男人一样也能在森林里生活。她激励着那

41、at brain cells in the arcuate nucleus responded to a chemical called capsaicin(辣椒素).It passes that heat by the TRPV1 receptor(辣椒素受体),which can sense temperature.And cells in the arcuate nucleus have plenty of TRPV1 receptors.Jos team put some capsaicin in the arcuate nucleus of male and female mice.
42、They found that when it met with the TRPV1 receptors there,the mice ate less.Then Jo and his workmates prevented these receptors in the brains of the mice and the animals ate normally.The researchers then trained the animals to run for 40 minutes at a time.After each exercise,their body temperatures
43、 climbed.And the mice ate less.“People know that after exercise they are not willing to eat,”Jo observed.“This could be one of the reasons.”Jo said that when it came to the answer,TRPV1“could be just a part.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了一项研究解释了为什么我们长时间地运动后并不会非常饿。5The researchers focused on the brains hypot
