12、not enough for parents to live together, but that a father should be actively involved in a childs life to benefit their development.The study looked at more than 11,000 British men and women, born in 1958.The scientists asked their mothers how often the father of their child took part in activities

13、 with them, including reading, organising outings and general quality time.The findings, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behaviour, show that those children whose fathers spent more time with them had a higher IQ and were more socially mobile than those who had received little attention

14、.The differences were still detectable by the age of 42.Dr Daniel Nettle, who led the research, said: What was surprising about this research was the real sizeable difference in the progress of children who benefited from paternal interest and how thirty years later, people whose dads were involved

My job was to hand out water to the runners. I remember being so excited to see all the different kinds of people who passed

20、by and grabbed (抓起) a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it, I thought maybe I can do it too! So the next year I signed up for the race and gave it a shot.That first 10,000m race was quite an experience. I jogged (慢跑), I walked,

21、I jogged and I walked. At times, I didnt know if I could finish. Then came a defining moment.At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very very fast, and I felt embarrassed that I was 50 years younger than he and I couldnt even keep up with him. I felt defeated for a second.But then

22、 I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had different capacities (能力), experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my goal was only to finish.After a minute, it hit me that this was a lesson I could I learned something about myself in that momen

23、t. I turned my draw from. embarrassment into inspiration.I decided that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare properly and one day I would be one of those 70-year-olds who was still running. As I crossed the finish line,

24、 I was proud of my accomplishment.In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves to others. Its only natural. Dont allow those moments to weaken you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. Use them to show you what is possible.Every struggle is rich with opportunities. You

Ye

28、t pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely d

29、eveloped sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co

30、-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching the

31、ir monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they becam

32、e quite different.In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at
