13、t the death of the wallet is the change it reflects in our physical environment. The opposite of a wallet is a smart phone or an iPad.

17、who are concerned about their own skills could be passing that along to the little girls they teach.Young students tend to model themselves after adults of the same sex，explained Beilock，an associate professor in psychology at the University of Chicago. Little girls may learn to fear math from the w

18、omen who are their earliest teachers. Beilock and her colleagues studied 52 boys and 65 girls in classes taught by 17 different teachers.

20、tests than either the classes boys or the girls who had not developed such a belief，the researchers found.After seeing the results，the researchers remended that the math requirements for obtaining a primary education teaching degree should be rethought. “If the next generation of teachers，especially

21、 primary school teachers，is going to teach their students more effectively，more care needs to be taken to develop both strong math skills and positive math attitudes in these educators,” the researchers wrote.“Girls who grow up believing females lack math skills wind up avoiding harder math classes.

27、of a breeding programme at the Institute of Cytology and Genetics at Novosibirsk, in Russia, he sought to find the evolutionary pathway of tame animals. His test subjects were silver-black foxes, a melanistic （带黑色的） version of the red fox that had been bred in farms for the color of their fur.He sel

28、ected the animals based on how they responded when their cage was opened. About 10% of the foxes displayed a weak “wild-response”, meaning they were docile around humans. Those that hid in the er or made aggressive voices were left in the farm. Of those friendly foxes, 100 females and 30 males were

29、chosen as the first generations of parents.When the young foxes were born, the researchers hand-fed them. They also attempted to touch or pet the foxes when they were two to two-and-a-half months old, for strictly measured periods at a time. If the young foxes continued to show aggressive response,

30、even after significant human contact, they were thrown away from the population-meaning they were made into fur coats. In each selection, less than 10% of tame individuals were used as parents of the next generation.By the fourth generation, the scientists started to see dramatic changes. The young

31、foxes were beginning to behave more like dogs. They wagged their tails and “eagerly” sought contact with humans. By 2005-2006, almost all the foxes were playful, friendly and behaving like domestic dogs. The foxes could “read” human hints and respond correctly to gestures or glances. 28.
