A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols(符号) made up of numbers and selectiv
22、e letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward(奖赏). The researchers then tested how the monkeys added the symbols to get the reward. Heres how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with tou
23、ch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would appear on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8. If the monkeys touched the left side of the screen, they would be rewarde
24、d with seven drops of water or juice; if they touched the circle, they would be rewarded with the sum of the numbers17 in this example. After carrying out hundreds of tests, the researchers found that the monkeys would choose the higher values more than half the times, showing that they were perform
25、ing a simple addition, not just memorizing the value of two numbers. When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估) a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in valuesometimes choosing, for example, a 13
26、rather than the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a small part of the smaller number to it. This shows that there is a certain way in which numbers are represented in their brai

C I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child are almost about books. There was not on
30、e night that I dont remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was completely inspired by the nice way the words sounded. I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, I cant believe whats written in the newspaper this morning, made me want to take it suddenly out of he
31、r hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend(假装) to be reading. This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories.
32、It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf, I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found my
33、self telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed. Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make As on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that my teacher asked us to, but I didnt e
34、njoy this type of reading. I liked facts, things that happen in real life. I thought anything too general left too much room for argument. Yet, now that Im growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can
35、leave behind my worries and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I dont have to write down what happened or what method the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax. Were taught to read because its ne
36、cessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning.

40、es around the world, 40% could disappear by the end of the century. The UN has made 2019 the International Year of Native Languages to draw attention to the problem. Slowly, countries are devoting more efforts to it. Canada aims to pass a Native Language Act before its elections in October 2019. The
41、 act would give more than 65 languages spoken by First Nations, Inuit and Metis peoples national recognition( 认 可 ) and teaching resources. In government-funded boarding schools, which operated from the 1880s to 1996, native children faced beatings or electric shocks if they were caught using their
42、native languages. But we want to put the same amount of effort to revitalise native languages as Canada put to destroy them, says Perry Bellegarde, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Legal recognition for a language is the first step to bring a native culture back from disappearance. M
43、aori is one of the success stories. When it became one of New Zealands official languages in 1987, less than 20% of the Maori population spoke it well enough to be regarded as native speakers. Today it is off the endangered list. The second step is to teach a new generation of native speakers. Techn
44、ology is a big help. Duolingo, a popular language-learning app, recently added Hawaiian and Navajo to its courses. BASABALI, another language-learning app, uses Facebook to reach speakers in the countryside. Say it in Saami is an online dictionary that translates modern lingo into languages spoken b
