10、ts often supplied through the medium of practical advice. The affectionate phrase “You made my life better from the moment you were born” may be rarely heard, but there is the more common “Ill hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof.”Why cant we fathers just say “I love you” or “Its gr

11、eat to see you” ? The point is: That s exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish. Listen closely enough and the phrase “I love you” can be heard in the lengthier “I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toile

12、t because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly.”When I was 17, I went on my first road trip.

13、every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil.” At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant “horse-and-buggy” every time I floored the accelerator.Dads long gone now.

CA study of 8 different experiments showed that our brains tend to prefer addition rather than subtraction when it comes to finding solutionsin many cases, it seems we just dont consider the strategy of taking something away at all.The researchers found that t

18、his preference for adding was noticeable in three situations in particular: when people were under higher cognitive (认知的) load, when there was less time to consider the other options, and when volunteers didnt get a specific reminder that subtracting was an option. In one of the experiments, partici

19、pants were asked to improve a Lego structure so that it was able to take more weight. Half the volunteers were reminded that they could take away bricks as well as add them, and half werent. In the group that got the reminder, 61 percent solved the problem by taking away a brickwhich was a much fast

20、er and more efficient way of making the structure stable. In the group that didnt get the reminder, only 41 percent went for the removing bricks approach.“Additive ideas come to mind quickly and easily, but subtractive ideas require more cognitive effort,” says psychologist Benjamin Converse, from t

21、he University of Virginia. “Because people are often moving fast and working with the first ideas that come to mind, they end up accepting additive solutions without considering subtraction at all.”The researchers have a few ideas about what might be going on. Our brains might find additive changes

22、easier to process perhaps, or we might be associating adding with ideas of something thats bigger and therefore better in our subconscious. There might also be associations in our minds with the current status being something that needs to be maintained as much as possibleand taking something away i

23、s arguably more destructive to the current status than adding something new.The researchers say their work is important in a much broader sense: for institutions looking to streamline (简化), for example, and even for the human race looking for ways to better manage the planets resources. 8.

The importance of maintaining current status.DEfforts to preserve the Amazon rain forest, which supports immense biodiversity and locks away tons of climate threatening carbon, are growing more urgent as the ecosystems destruction accelerates. Indigenous (当地的) peo

27、ples have been trying to protect the region by patrolling(巡逻) their territorial boundaries for illegal activities. But rapid deforestation continues. A recent study shows that combining on-the-ground monitoring with satellite data and smartphone technology could help put the brakes on Amazon defores

28、tationand potentially that of forests elsewhere. Illegal logging, agriculture and coca cultivation particularly threaten the Amazon in the Peruvian Indigenous communities and outsiders are often the culprits (罪魁祸首). The research team wondered if providing training for local people to use satellite-b

29、ased “early deforestation alerts” could help. The scientists collaborated with 76 Indigenous communities, 36 of which participated in using these alerts to watch over the forest. Over the next two years these trained participants were paid to work as forest monitors and received monthly alerts via t

30、he app when satellite data indicated local forest losses. Monitors investigated alerts, patrolled for deforestation in other areas and reported confirmed losses back to their communities, which decided whether to deal with the culprits on their own or inform state authorities. The researchers analyz

31、ed the same forest-loss satellite data from the given time period in all 76 communities. They found the early-alert program reduced forest loss by 8.4 hectares in the first two yeara 52% reduction compared with the average loss in the control communities. Experts say this approach to tackling Amazon

32、ian deforestation looks promising. “Would this work in all communities that have high risk of deforestation? Given the results, its worth a try.” says Catherine Tucker, a researcher at the University of Florida. “But some communities may not have access to the resources needed for such a program, or their territories may hold valuable minerals that would increase the risk of deforestation by outsiders despite monitoring efforts,” wrote Francisco Hernande
