The interaction resulting from the differ

2、ences between predator and prey led to a general improvement in brain functions; however, certain components of intelligence were improved far more than others.The kind of intelligence favored by the interplay of increasingly smarter catchersand increasingly keener escapers is defined by attention t

3、hat aspect of mind carrying consciousness forward from one moment to the next. It ranges from a passive, freefloating awareness to a highly focused, active fixation. The range through these states is mediated by the arousal system, a network of tracts converging from sensory systems to integrating c

4、enters in the brain stem. From the more relaxed to the more vigorous levels, sensitivity to novelty is increased. The organism is more awake, more vigilant; this increased vigilance results in the apprehension of ever more subtle signals as the organism becomes more sensitive to its surroundings. Th

5、e processes of arousal and concentration give attention its direction. Arousal is at first general, with a flooding of impulses in the brain stem; then gradually the activation is channeled. Thus begins concentration, the holding of consistent images. One meaning of intelligence is the way in which

6、these images and other alertly searched information are used in the context of previous experience. Consciousness links past attention to the present and permits the integration of details with perceived ends and purposes. The elements of intelligence and consciousness come together marvelously to p

7、roduce different styles in predator and prey. Herbivores and carnivores develop different kinds of attention related to escaping or chasing. Although in both kinds of animal, arousal stimulates the production of adrenaline and norepinephrine by the adrenal glands, the effect in herbivores is primari

8、ly fear, whereas in carnivores the effect is primarily aggression. For both, arousal attunes the animal to what is ahead. Perhaps it does not experience forethought as we know it, but the animal does experience something like it. The predator is searchingly aggressive, innerdirected,tuned by the ner

26、瓏的小字里塵埃落定。珍惜著，不早也不晚的緣分。愿你永遠在我文字的四季，可以與那些草木葳蕤的深情一樣，青青又青青?？v使某天，錯過了所有，只剩下一個人憂傷，也不要怪罪時光。時光里那些牽過的手，給錯的愛，都是情不由衷。開始與結(jié)束，一樣美麗。我們應該，原諒時光，記住愛！那些過往里的施與舍，恩與惠，何必計較太多。我們在山水間喂養(yǎng)清風，在草木間描摹明月，云淡風輕一天又一天。任憑年華一去不返，依舊無怨無悔，不負歲月，不負時光。那些風花雪月的重逢與離別，終將隕落在時光深處，被過往的煙塵一一覆蓋。當時光里，那些被歲月漂白的光陰，再回首時，風住塵香，緣已渺渺，我們也不必遺憾。蒼茫處，風景依舊，繁華笙歌，人事無恙。

27、那些散落在流年深處的芬芳，也是依舊靜美如初，相宜靜好。不如，安靜著，于寂寂紅塵中，為自己開一扇般若門，將一切浮云過往都放逐在紅塵之外，只留一顆琉璃心，只守一池為我而開的蓮荷，一粥一飯，一筆一墨，閑渡流年。未來的路，那么遠。從未想過會遇見誰，也從未想過會錯過誰。今朝，一壺濁酒，一撲流螢，幾許明媚，幾許嫣然，我依然是那個樸素的琉璃女子。不敷衍，不趨勢，簡單的行走，簡單的生活，簡單的愛與被愛。當時光里，那些被光陰漂白的過往，再回首時，風住塵香，緣已渺渺，我們也不必遺憾。蒼茫處，風景依舊，繁華笙歌，人事無恙。那些散落在流年深處的芬芳，也是依舊靜美如初，相宜靜好。若是，光陰辭去舊年，初心不改。我依然愿意，在心里種半畝花田，在文字里養(yǎng)一個春天。這樣，無論你來不來，在不在，我都一樣安靜的開落。那樣，你偶爾回眸，看到的風景，都是春天般，含著香，透著暖。喜歡讓心在那一刻，靜如菩提明鏡。那么，且許我一程走舊的歲月，溫一壺經(jīng)年的雨水，煮一段曾經(jīng)的往事，不提花開，不說花落。就讓那所有的喜怒哀樂，淡暖清歡，如茶般，氤氳出縷縷清香。而你我，亦愈來愈通透，有了茶的芬芳，
