We were both raised by parents who valued politeness, and more than that, I want to do all those little things that psychologists say help couples stay together. Expressing gratitude(感谢)is one of those things, so a quick “thanks” seems like an easy one.But according to a recent study, were not at all typical. The study looked at over 1,000 recordings of casual conversations among families and close friends. In only about one out of 20 times were expressions of thanks observed. Phrases that meant “thanks” but werent a direct translation of the word were counted, including physical gestures of thanks.The researchers looked at a wide variety of people from different places, representing eight languages: Polish, Russian, Italy, English, Murrinh-patha (an Aboriginal language), Cha palaa, Lao and Siwu.The Brits thanked people close to them the most, about 14.5 percent of the time, and close behind them were the Italians at 13.5 percent. The Murrinh-patha came next at 4.0 percent and following them were the Russians, the Polish, the Laotians and the Siwu speakers. The lowest? Well, the Cha palaa speakers of Ecuador dont have a word for “thank you” at all.As the linguists explained, “Expressing thanks, in some cultures, is more of a linguistic tradition than a true expression of feelings. In cultures where thanks are less often said, its because social cooperation is taken for granted, and thank you isnt really needed or necessary. ”The idea that you dont need to thank others because its assumed that youre appreciative is beautiful.

It is not actually.“Teaching” requires this: one individual must take time from their own task to demonstrate and instruct with effort and the student must learn a new skill. Thats a tall order.When a young chimpanzee watches a skilled adult and then imitates (模仿), thats learning. But the adult has not taken time specifically to instruct, so it is not teaching. In the honeybees amazing dance, the dancer takes time to indicate information about a source of food, but observers learn no new skill. They do take time to show, but they do not pass on new skills to learners.Dolphins teach. Atlantic spotted dolphin mothers sometimes free a caught fish in the presence of their youngsters and let their youngsters chase it, catching it again if its getting away. Dolphin youngsters also position themselves alongside mothers who arc scanning sandy bottoms for hidden fish, and the mother spends extra time demonstrating.Other teachers include: housecats who bring back live prey and lot their young learn to catch it, and meerkats (猫鼬)who first bring to their growing young dead scorpions (蝎子), then disabled ones, to demonstrate how to remove the poisonous part on their tails.Like toolmaking and teaching, imitation is also considered to reflect high intelligence. In South Africa lived a baby dolphin named Dolly. One day while she was just six months old, Dolly was watching a trainer standing at the window smoking a cigarette, blowing puffs of smoke. Dolly swam to her mother, got a mouthful of milk, then returned to the window and released a cloud of milk that surrounded her head. The trainer was “absolutely astonished”.Somehow Dolly came up with the idea of using milk to represent smoke. Using one thing to represent something else isnt just imitation. It is art. 28. What does the underlined phrase “a tall order” probably mean in paragraph 2?A. A clear instruction. B. A high risk.C. A useful purpose. D. A difficult requirement.29. What do we know about honeybees dance?A. Imitating. . B. Learning. C. Presenting D. Teaching.30. What can we infer about animals that can teach?A. Bees show their dance to younger generations.B. Young dolphins must learn how to free a fish.C. Housecats teach in a way similar to dolphins.D. Meerkats have poisonous parts on the tails.31. Why does the author use Dollys example?A. To prove smoking can affect other animals.B. To show animals can be surprisingly intelligent.C. To explain dolphins are capable of making art.D. To stress milk is to dolphins what smoking is to men.DCity Transformer, a four-year-old pany based outside Tel Aviv, Israel, is ready to shake up the auto industry with their invention.So what is it that theyve created? A car that actually folds while youre driving. Its a neat trick, sure. Perhaps something youd see in a superhero movie. But it actually serves a practical purpose.

People who own membership of the car rental pany can rent one of the cars wherever they are. Whats more, when you get into any of the cars, it will instantly recognize you and adjust the seats, temperature and music to your favorite settings.Asaf Formoza, the panys founder, believes its at the right place, at the right time. “Its very important for us to be in Israel, because we have more than 400 panies here just for the automotive departments,” he explained. “And we can take some of their proven technologies and adopt them to our car.”“To bring something like that as a solution for cities when so many people around the world are stuck in traffic jams, this is going to be something that I think can really change the experience of drivers,” said project manager Itamar Meridor.
