19、d in seeing or buying, and an ad for that will pop up on my Instagram feed,” King asked. “I havent searched for it. I havent talked to anybody about it.”The truth is, Facebook tracks us in ways many of us dont even realize and is so good at it, we think its monitoring our conversations. Instead, it

26、 scene in which two puppets (木偶) had conflicting goals: One was crossing a stage from right to left, and the other from left to right. The puppets met in the middle and stopped. Eventually one puppet bowed down and moved aside, letting the other one pass by. Then researchers asked the toddlers which

27、 puppet they liked. The result: 20 out of 23 toddlers picked the higher-status puppet the one that did not bow or move aside. It seems that individuals can gain status for being dominant (占优势的) and toddlers like winners better than losers.But then researchers had another question: Do toddlers like w

28、inners no matter how they win? So, researchers did another experiment very similar to the one described above. But this time, the conflict ended because one puppet knocked the other down and out of the way. Now when the toddlers were asked who they liked, the results were different: Only 4 out of 23
