Jonathan Bauer, and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were driving with the windows down as they headed home on the bridge.

Struggling next to it was a girl, about two years old, terrified, floating on her back and crying.Matters quickly went worse when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. *Ava! Stay by the car!” Bauer yelled, drooping to remove his shoes. Would he get hurt? Could he reach the girl in time? No time to wonder. All he had in mind was the faith that she must be saved immediately.A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit at her back with the flat of his hand.

British research scientist, Dr. Donna Kean is training 170 rats to be sent into earthquake luins to do vital work in finding earthquake survivors. The project has trained about seven rats to date, taking around two weeks to get the rescue rats up to speed. These rescue rats are sent into mock(模拟的)earthquake ruins with tiny backpacks that contain microphones, video gears, and location trackers. These tools will allow the rescue (earns to communicate with earthquake survivors in real-time.“I train these clever creatures to save victims trapped in collapsed buildings after earthquakes. We kit them out with a rat backpack, and train them to activate a switch when they find a victim and come back fbr a tasty treat.'' posted Dr Donna Kean on Twitter on May 26, 2022.Dr. Kean expressed how the rescue rats are ideal fbr this type of work saying, 4iRats would be able to get into small spaces to get victims buried in rubble.5, The highly swift rats never set off landmines and their natural swiftness makes them ideal for use in hard-to-navigate disaster zones. Their suitability for this work goes further, with rats being good at surviving in different environments and living off of anything. The rescue rats are even being trained to respond to beeps that call them back to their base.Dr. Kean' s team collaborates（合作）with the non-profit organization APOLO for their “Hero Rats” project. These “Hero Rats“ are set to start working with a search and rescue team in Turkey, joining earthquake rescue efforts in the high-risk area. The group of 170 rats is being trained fbr additional projects involving landmines, tuberculosis （肺结核）,and even sniffing out Brucellosis, an infectious disease that impacts farm animals. Dr. Kean feels hopeful about her project's promising results and is excited to be the only organization in this space working with this species.8. Why are the rescue rats equipped with backpacks?

The rats have been widely used in various fields.When the Titanic sank, approximately 1, 509 of its 2214 passengers passed away. A majority of them died because the ship carried lifeboats for only half of the people on board. By all accounts, most died either by drowning or of hypothermia, since the temperature of the water was -2° C (28° F), in which death occurs in about fifteen minutes. The survival rate for men was 19%, for women 72%, and for children, 50%. Most sun ivors were first class passengers, followed by second class, and finally third class. Six of the seven children in first class survived, and all of (he children in second class survived, but only about 31 percent were saved in third class.In short, the available evidence from the Titanic disaster suggests that we often care for others, even at some cost to ourselves. But why? Do wc in fact psychologically tend to be altruistical? Or are we blank slates (白板)on which culture and education draws our character, for better or worse?

He argued that the mind should be considered as a blank sheet of paper until it is furnished by experience, which varies from person to person. Locke's theory was a particularly effective way to weaken the influence of the church and of king's right to rule, both of which were held to be self-evidently (rue.The belief of the blank slate has proved to be greatly influential, extending far beyond the field of political theory. The social sciences generally have tried to explain human behavior as a product of the socialization of children by culture and education.12.
