They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another

26、 with a vocabulary” of 66 gestures. The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda, and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.Dr Catherine Hobaiter, who led the research, said that this was the only form of intentional communication to

27、be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.“Thats whats so amazing about chimp gestures J she said. “Theyre the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”Although p

28、revious research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animafs call, the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hobaiter said.Chimps will check to see

29、if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signalling: Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. The big message from this study is that there is an

30、other species （物种）out there that is meaningful in its communication, so thats not unique to humans J said Dr Hobaiter.Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language.

31、 But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing.“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions J she said. Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyo

32、nd what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?A. Using voices to communicate.B. Understanding complex information.C. Memorizing specific words.D. Communicating messages on purpose.7. What di

Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthroughC. Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdomD. Chimpanzee language: comm

35、unication gestures translatedDThere is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment

36、to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master ones field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you di

37、scover the pressure of having to keep up.Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone

38、 home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion （排除）of others can hold back your true spirit.Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with

39、 all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective （视角）into specific fields of expertise （专长）.The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.Th

40、ings are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided t

41、o study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy. I dont know where it will lead, but Im excited Im on this pursuit.99These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspective

42、s. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience.

Think about the probab

48、ility: 18 So its not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line called a serpentine line and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 19 This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.20 It takes many regis
