13、:15 p. m D. 8:30 a. mBWhen I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didnt pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that

14、 has stuck with me from that day until now. She said seriously, “You let that be the last time youve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mothers words sound simple, but its been a guidepost for me and

15、the foundation of who I am.Its not just something I believe in; its a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble （卑微） they may be.At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing.

16、 But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you

17、 want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”Ive become vice president, but it hasnt changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mothers advice.

Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the inju

21、red parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short. Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .Its a plants way of crying out.But is anyone listening？

22、Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbors react. Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive,the tables are turned. The attacker who

23、was lunching now becomes lunch. In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors. The damage is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbors, relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do. Does this mean that plant

24、s talk to each other？ Scientists dont know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasnt a true, intentional

28、world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwins time were more imaginative.D Believe it or not, the size of the human brain has become smaller over the past 20,000 years. Scientists argue over whether this means we are becoming more or less intelligent as a species.The size of the average mod

29、ern human brain has declined 10 percent over the period from 1,500 to 1,359 cubic centimeters. The missing brain matter is roughly the size of a tennis ball.“Id called that a major downsizing （规模减小） in an evolutionary eye blink （眨眼）,” John Hawks of the University of Wisconsin, US, told Discover maga

30、zine.Why is the brain becoming smaller？There are different theories to explain it. One is that tens of thousands of years ago, before the decline began, to survive in cold, dangerous conditions humans needed a stronger and larger body and therefore, a larger head. Also they had to chew the tough mea

31、t of rabbits, foxes and horses. As conditions improved, the brain stopped growing, according to supporters of this theory.Another theory comes from a recent study by David Geary and Drew Bailey from the University of Missouri, US. They looked at the relationship between brain size and social environment between 1.9 million and 10,000 years ago, when the social environment was becoming increasingly complex. They found that brain size decreased as population density （密度） increased.“As complex societies emerged （出现）, the brain
