11、nsiderable interest to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers.The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular , he showed that all games fall into two classes : there are what he called games of “ perfect information ” , games like chess where

17、h doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didnt eat them, but made experiments on them. The

18、 local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discover

19、y that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins. The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a persons food. Today man

20、y people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they dont, they can also take vitamin pills. 25.

It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins - and every dolphin has one. Scientists

24、call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Since they cant always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolph

25、ins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when theyre a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.Whats amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not

26、 the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. Its cr

27、eating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear.
