22、le the others in the family were cooking dinner, Angel was cooking up a way to help the animals. She decided to write a letter to show how she felt. At the end of the letter, she wrote: “Give a dollar, help an animal.” She sent the letter and a dollar to The Fresno Bee, a local newspaper.A few days

23、after that, Angels letter was published. Almost immediately, people began sending in money. Angels letter was having effect!At school, Angel went to each classroom to read the letter that appeared on the newspaper. She asked students in her school to give money to the zoo. Next, Angel was asked to a

24、ppear on television. She was invited to be on a popular talk show.The workers in the zoo were very happy.

28、ives. Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandpa

29、rents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths. They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. Th

30、ey learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job. Because learning continues throughout our lives and influences almost

31、 everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change peoples behaviors. Learning is closely related (

32、相關(guān)的) to memory, which is the storage(儲存) of information in the brain (大腦). Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it.

35、nts.C. People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviors.D. Social workers need to study how experiences affect peoples thoughts.DWhen an animal helps another animal, it usually gets something valuable in return. For a long time, many scientists thought that only people could

36、act generously just because it feels good. However, a new study in Germany suggests that chimpanzees (黑猩猩)also do good things for no real reason. And so do children who are as young as 18 months of age. Maybe it is because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor(祖先) about 6 million years ago. Peopl

37、e and chimpanzees appear to develop such features(特征) without any other training, says Warneken, a scientist in Germany. Warneken and his partners worked on adult chimpanzees that live on an island in the African country of Uganda. They also worked with 18-month-old children in Germany. The research

38、ers performed three experiments on the adult chimpanzees and two experiments on the kids. In the first animal experiment，a person tried to reach his arm into a cage to get a stick，but he couldnt reach it. A chimpanzee was in the cage，and it could reach the stick if it wanted to.Thirty-six chimpanzee

39、s took part in this experiment one by one, and no chimpanzee saw what the other chimpanzees had done. Even though the animals hadnt met the person before, they usually took the stick and gave it to the person. Whats more, they did this whether or not the person offered them bananas as a reward. In a

40、 similar experiment, 36 children acted in a similar way. They helped the person reach the stick, whether or not they were offered toys for their help.Researchers did other experiments on chimpanzees and babies. No rewards were offered in either experiment. And still, both the chimpanzees and childre

41、n went out of their way to help. Still, the new study is different from earlier findings. Researchers have found that chimpanzees dont give rewards of food to other chimpanzees, even if it costs them nothing to be generous.34. Warneken and his partners worked with _.
