This is awful! They either do not care anymore, or have completely lost it. I never thought U2 would become ir

25、relevant, but they have officially become one of those bands that you will now say, “Remember when they were great?”- Posted by Ronald HarrisFebruary 28th, 2009 8:29 pm GMTTotal drivel, Mr Harris. The new album is great, far better than the safe, cynical HTDAAB and ATYCLB. U2 have become inventive a

31、at how dogs react when a companion is rewarded for the same trick in an unequal way. Friederike Range, a researcher at the University of Vienna in Austria, and her colleagues did a series of experiments with dogs who knew how to respond to the command “give the paw “.

32、 repeatedly give the paw, whether they got a reward or not. But that changed if they saw that another dog was being rewarded with a piece of food, while they received nothing.“We found that the dogs hesitated significantly longer when obeying the command to give the paw,” the researchers write. The

33、unrewarded dogs eventually stopped cooperating.Scientists have long known that humans pay close attention to inequity. But researchers always assumed that animals didnt share the trait. “The argument was that this is a uniquely human phenomenon,” says Frans de Waal, a professor of psychology at Emor

34、y University in Atlanta.That changed in 2003 when he and a colleague did a study on monkeys. The monkeys had to hand a small rock to researchers to get a piece of cucumber in return.

35、ng the same job, they would throw away the food and rock, and at some point just stopped performing.In that experiment, the monkeys considered the fairness of two different types of payment. But when Range and her colleagues did a similar study with their trained dogs, testing to see if dogs would b

Without hesitation, he pulled the car

51、over and offered him a ride. Dad asked him his name, and proceeded to talk to him about all sorts of things. Dad asked him where he was going. The hitch-hiker told him he was heading for the west. I cant recall why but he told Dad a lot of things that had occurred to him and that persuaded him to ma

52、ke that decision. He talked about the tragic events that occurred to him several years before.
