18、id 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
19、thinking 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 tha
20、t makes Barbies, wasnt interested in her idea, but she persisted. She finally created her own treetop dolls. Mattel agreed that she could produce the dolls on a small scale (规模).Last year, Nadkarni was thrilled to learn that National Geographic was working with Mattel to come up with a new line of a
21、dventure dolls, and that they wanted her advice.Since sales of the explorer Barbies began in the summer, Nadkarni said, she has heard from girls coast to coast, thanking her for her work in rainforests and asking questions about how they can make a difference to help trees in their own communities.“

26、press the new boss with our first task. You might have been off your game because of a recent failure, but your new co-workers are likely to think that your poor performance is one of your basic characteristics. However, its not impossible to change how others view you.Your co-workers may have built
27、 up 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. You need to do something unexpected. If youve made them think youre quiet and never speak up, it wont be enough to talk once in a meet
28、ing. Instead, make a point of being the first person to speak. If your co-workers have to ask themselves, “What got into him?” then youre on the way to beginning to change their views. My first impression of Matthew, an employee of mine, was that he was a bit lazy at work. Realizing that I was incre
29、asingly unimpressed with him, he made a move. He suggested that we get to know each other better by going to a rock climbing gyman activity at which he was very experienced, and I was a beginner.

She thought I seemed “too positive”and therefore somewhat fake. It was only after knowing me for years that she realized that was in fac

Impatient.DChimps (黑猩猩) use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the
35、chimp 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 t
36、o 36 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 t
37、o ask 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
38、 10 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
39、the 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 acquirin
40、g and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication.”32. Chimps slap the objects to _. A. tell others to stop what they are doing B. ask other chimps to join them C. gather other chimps to move closer D. encourage interactions to start33. What did researchers find
41、after studying 471 video clips? A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals. B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa. C.

44、to 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
45、of 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. Unfortunate
46、ly, 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
47、get 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
48、 goes a long way towards improving your social skills that will benefit your university experience as a whole.A. Time and habit can help deal with culture shock.B. The feeling is intense at the beginning of a stayabroad.C. If there is one thing I wish I did more of, it would be asking questions.D. C
49、ulture shock has less of an effect if you are with people around you.E. Treat everything new as a chance to gain knowledge about the culture.F. Youll learn to understand the world through your host cultures eyes.G. It is a relief to know that you are not the only one suffering from culture shock.第三部
