Text 1 Whether or not animals feel is not altogether an easy question to answer. A human being has direct

10、 awareness only of the pains which he himself suffers. Our knowledge of the pains even of other human beings is only an inference from their words, and to a lesser extent their behaviors. Animals cannot tell us what they feel. We can, of course, study their bodily reactions to the kind of stimuli wh

11、ich would be painful to human beings and this has often been done. When such stimuli are applied to animals, their pupils dilate, their pulse rate and blood pressure rise, they may withdraw the stimulated limb and they may make struggling movements. Nevertheless it has been pointed out that none of

12、these reactions can safely be taken as indications that the animal experiences pain because they can all be evoked when the parts of the body stimulated have been isolated from the higher nervous centres. Furthermore, when disease produces such an isolation in human beings the corresponding stimuli

13、are painless. We must therefore look for other evidence as the capacity of animals to experience pain. Basically, all the nervous elements which underlie the experience of pain by human beings are to be found in all mammalian vertebrates at least; this is hardly surprising as pain is a response to a

14、 potentially harmful stimulus and is therefore of great biological importance for survival. Is there any reason, then, for supposing that animals. though equipped with all the necessary neurological structures, do not experience pain Such a view would seem to presuppose a profound qualitative differ

15、ence in the mental life of animals and men. The difference between the human and subhuman nervous system lies chiefly in the much greater development of the human forebrain. This would be significant in the present context only if there were reason to believe that it alone was correlated with the oc

16、currence of conscious experiences. But much of our knowledge of the nervous regulation of consciousness is derived from experiments on animals. In everyday life we take it for granted that animals see and hear, and there seems no reason to suppose that they do not feel pain. So, while the reactions

17、of the pupils, pulse rate and blood pressure mentioned above can in exceptional circumstances occur without the conscious experience of pain, it seems likely that in the intact animal they are indications that pain is being experienced.The human nervous system differs from that of animals in that（）A

38、d have left, those who are still in positions feel the need to take the problem seriously. CEOs were overturned as were some stocks. That is how AOL Time Warner entertainment group Chairman Jeff Bewkes summed it up. The era of the imperial (one-man rule) CEO has come to an end, MTV Networks Chairman

39、 Tom Freston added. The two executives agreed that the industry’s complex and often ill-fated megs mergers had proven that bigger is not necessarily better, no matter how big the reputations of the personalities behind them. The continuing flameout of media executives who a few years ago were

40、hailed as visionaries was active this month, and the industry’s fears reached into the executive ranks of music, publishing and TV. Technology visionary Steve Case left as chairman of AOL Time Warner, replaced by Chief Executive Richard Parsons. Top executives at Sony Music, MCA Records and Ra

41、ndom House were booted. And Walter Isaacson, chairman of CNN Networks, left for a think tank. This shows just how difficult it has become to find the right managers for the terribly altered media. Many executives got caught up in the late 90’s boom in the media industry and got ahead of themse

42、lves in strategic vision for their companies, said Mark May, of US investment firm Kaufman Bros. It takes more than a couple of years for these companies to be ready for another visionary. The collapse of the dotcom bubble, the ability of music fans to get songs free on the Internet, sagging bottom

43、lines and intense competition among cable TV news networks are some developments that helped trip up media executives recently. But the urge to merge was one of their weakest points. It is not that media companies should avoid all mergers, said Larry Haverty, managing director at State Street Resear

44、ch, a US investment management firm. They need acquisitions for growth. But making them work is a real challenge. They need to choose what pieces fit together and how much they are worth. They need to adjust quickly when technology and consumer habit trends shift. And, more than ever, they must be c
