10、success of humans as a species depends to a large extent on our ability to cooperate in groups is widely believed, Much more so than any other animal, people are able to coordinate and join their forces and actions to produce mutual benefits.New research involving Dr, Molleman, an expert at the Univ

12、ficial when it is possible to be have selfishly and take advantage of the cooperative efforts of your group, Psychologists and economists try hard to understand why many people are willing to sacrifice their own welfare to benefit their social environment. They asked questions likeHow do people make
13、 decisions when their actions can affect the welfare of others? and How people determine their behavior when they have to cooperate in groups?. Dr. Pieter Van Den Berg from the University of Groningen said, From previous research we know that some people are majority-oriented (以大多数人为中心) and tend to
14、look at the behavior of the majority in their group, whereas others are success-oriented and try to find out what kind of behavior pays off best for themselves。Dr. Molleman, from the Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics, said, It turns out that behavior in groups of success orient
15、ed people was much more selfish than it in groups of majority-oriented people. As a consequence, the people in the majority oriented groups tended to earn more money in the experiment since they cooperated more。5.Compared with other animals, human beings are capable of-A. communicating well with oth

19、ep a connection you can develop withmans best friend. But a dogs life is much shorter than humans,about 12 to 15 years long, which means every dog owner has to go through the heartbreaking moment when their loving pet passes away, Why not make a clone of that dog then? This is the solution offered b
20、y a South Korean company,Sooam Biotech Research Foundation. The company has already successfully cloned at least 400 dogs,mostly for US customers, ever since it pioneered the technique in 2005. Now. Sooam Biotech has introduced its business to UK dog owners as well,offering them dogs that look just
21、like their lost ones.To clone a dog, researchers first need to take a skin cell from a living dog or one that has just died.Meanwhile, another dog is selected to supply an egg. Researchers then replace the DNA in the egg with that from the skin cell and implant the egg into the womb (子宫) of a female
22、 dog. The egg grows into a puppy over the following two months。 The whole process takes less than a day, but it comes at a shockingly high price - around $63 ,0.0.But if you cant afford it now, you can also save the cell in a laboratory and access it at a later date,However, magical as cloning might
23、 sound,here is no guarantee that the cloned dog will be a perfect copy of the original one. Just like identical twins of humans, they share the exactly same DNA but there will still be small difference between them. The spots on a Dalmatian （斑点狗) clone will be different, for example, Insung Hwang, h
24、ead of Sooam Biotech, told The Guardian.Dog owners will also have to accept the fact that personality is not cloneable. Apart from genes,personality is also determined by upbringing and environment, which are both random elements that cloning technologies simply cannot overcome,Professor Tom Kirkwoo
25、d at Newcastle University,UK,told The Telegraph,Perhaps bringing our dogs back by cloning is not the best way to remember them after all, Kirkwood,a dog owner himself, pointed out, An important aspect of our relationship with them is coming to terms with the pain of letting go,9.WhatservicedoesSooam
