18、Nadkarni, she and her sisters were encouraged by their parents to create their own fun. For Nadkarni, that meant tree climbing.Nadkarni is doing research in Costa Rica on trees. It has never been more important, Nadkarni said, to share what she has learned with a new generation.“In 2003, Id been thi
19、nking of ways to help get girls more interested in science, and I looked to my young daughter. I knew that girls wanted to play with Barbies and look like Barbies,” Nadkarni said. “But what if Barbie had field clothes on and came with a little booklet about canopy plants?” Mattel, the company that m
20、akes Barbies, wasnt interested in her idea, but she persisted. She finally created her own treetop dolls.

However, its not impossible to change how others view you.Your co-workers may have built up
27、 a certain impression of youthat youre not leadership material because youre too quiet, for example. You cant expect to overturn that thinking with small actions.

Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chi
35、mp community and identified their intentions for the first time.From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 3
36、6 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews Univrsity in Scotland.Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to a
37、sk another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping (拍打) objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings, 17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning, and only 10
38、 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the
39、 chances of success.“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring a

44、life as a freshman in the UK.When I first arrived at university, I was a few weeks late due to some flight issues. I had never been to the UK before and I was extremely scared; everything seemed different. Culture shock was inevitable (不可避免) as I found it difficult to adjust to different aspects of
45、UK society. Language, accents, mannerisms and even the food caught me off guard to start with. One of the effective ways to overcome it is to try and be open-minded. 37 Since I was a new international student, my biggest concern was standing out amongst a completely different culture. Unfortunately,
46、 this led to me keeping to myself and not truly coming to terms with my new surroundings. 38 University life can be difficult at the beginning and many people around you understand this. Youd be amazed how much people will be willing to help you. If you dont ask any questions, youre not going to get
47、 any answers. 39 This is particularly better if you are alongside other students who are also in the same boat, as you can go through the process together. Making friends at university is very important, especially at the beginning. 40 Making friends not only makes it easier to deal with but also go
