13、ilies of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he was diagnosed with cancer, he still took care of his garden.But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded his body.

But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing abou

20、t how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer. Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around

21、500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainfores

22、t will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past. Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult.

28、rents, she argues, have no important long-term effects on the development of the characteristics of their children. Far more important are their playground friends and neighborhood. Ms. Harris takes to hitting the belief which has controlled developmental psychology for almost half a century. Ms. Ha

29、rris's attack looks likely to strengthen doubts that the field was already having. If parents matter, why is it that a pair of twins, raised in the same home, are no more alike than a pair of twins raised in different homes? Difficult as it is to follow the exact effects of parental upbringing,

30、it may be harder to measure the exact influence of the peer group in childhood and youth. Ms. Harris points how children from immigrant homes soon learn not to speak at school in the way their parents speak. But gaining a language is surely a skill, rather than a characteristic of the sort developme

31、ntal psychologists look for. Certainly it is different from growing up tensely or relaxed, or from learning to be honest or hard-working.

But even in those early years, parents have the power to open doors: they may firstly choose the peers with whom their young mix. Moreover, most people suppose that they come to be similar to

33、 their parents more in middle age. So the balance of influences is probably complex, as most parents already doubted without being able to prove it scientifically. Even if it turns out that the genes they pass on and the friends their children play with matter as much as love and good example, paren
