29、 stream to know your advantages( )57. SDA Bocconis courses are aimed at _A. academic upgrade B. job promotionC. interpersonal communication D. business managementBIn 2016, a study was published by Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino on giant manta rays(蝠鲼 ), which explored the idea of whether the
30、se elasmobranchs(软骨鱼类) could be classed as selfaware. Giant mantas have the largest brain of all fish species, suggesting complex social interactions and are often referred to as intelligent. For the study Ari and DAgostino used the mirror selfrecognition test(MSR). It has been used to prove selfawa
31、reness in the great apes and Asian elephants.Manta rays are found in warm temperatures.The larger species reaches 7m in width.In order to confirm whether an animal can pass this test, researchers first expose the animals to a mirror. If they show social responses they likely perceived their mirror i
32、mage as another individual and did not recognise themselves in the mirror. If they show repetitive and unusual movements they are considered potentially capable of passing the test. Next, researchers usually place a mark on the animals body. They then observe what happens when the marked animal is p
33、laced in front of a mirror. Animals that pass the test will typically adjust their positions so that they can get a better look at the new mark on their body, and may even touch or try to move it. Typically, they pay much more attention to the part of their body that bears a new marking.In the study
34、, due to the difficulties associated with marking a manta ray, observations were made instead in relation to mirror exposure only. Results showed that the Mantas exhibited unusual and highly repetitive movements and selfdirected behaviour when exposed to the mirror. More specifically they gave selec
35、tive attention to the mirror by displaying significantly more repetitive movements than under control conditions as well as beveral unusual behaviours, such as exposing and observing their underside in the mirror and bubble blowing, similar to what was observed when bottlenose dolphins were exposed
36、to a mirror.Mantas are also able to change their colour, rapidly increasing the intensity of their white markings when a new individual approaches. This was not observed when they were exposed to the mirror, making it reasonable to assume that the animals did not recognize their mirror image as a ne
37、w individual and that the observed behaviours were not part of normal social interaction.Overall, Ari and DAgostinos study provides evidence for behavioural responses known to be prerequisites(先决条件 ) for selfawareness and which have been used by other researchers to confirm selfrecognition in ape sp
38、ecies. This experiment shines a light on the potential cognitive capabilities of fish and calls into question the ethical(伦理道德的) practices of current fisheries. Protection in some regions does exist. Despite this, up to 1，000 giant mantas are thought to be harvested from specific locations every yea
39、r for their meat and gill rakers, the latter being traded as a kind of medicine.( )58. Dr Csilla Ari and Dr Dominic DAgostino conducted the study to _A. explore how mantas can survive in extreme conditionsB. display that mantas can interact with human beingsC. illustrate where selfrecognition test c

The real purpose of Ari and DAgostinos study.C. The theoretical basis of Ari and DAgostinos study.D. The farreaching significance o
41、f Ari and DAgostinos study.( )60. How did Ari and DAgostino make their findings?A. By observing mantas behaviours.B. By recording mantas colour changes.C. By collecting statistics from selfrecognition tests.D. By comparing the differences between mantas and apes.( )61. The result of Ari and DAgostin
42、os study could lead to _A. better protection of mantas B. largerscale hunting for mantasC. tougher restriction on ethical fisheries D. further research into other sea animalsCThe most important determining factor of success or failureat work and in lifeis selfawareness, the ability to undrstand who
43、we are, how others see us, and how we fit into the world.For millions of years, the ancestors of humans evolved painfully slowly. However, about 150，000 years ago there was an explosive development in the human brain where, among other things, we gained the ability to examine our own thoughts, feeli
44、ngs and behaviours, as well as to see things from anothers point of view. Not only did this transformation create the foundation for art, spiritual practices and language, but it came with a survival advantage for our ancestors, who had to work together in order to survive. Though we may not face th
45、e same daytoday threats to our existence, selfawareness is no less critical. There is strong scientific evidence that people who know themselves and how others see them are happier. They are smarter, superior students. They raise more mature children. They also tend to be more creative, confident an
46、d less aggressive.But for most people it is easier to choose selfdelusion(自我欺瞒 ) rather than the cold hard truth. Our increasingly “me” focused society makes it easier to fall into this trap. Recent generations have grown up in a world obsessed with selfesteem(自负), constantly being reminded of their
47、 special qualities. Not only are our assessments often flawed(有缺陷), but we are usually terrible judges of our own performance and abilitiesfrom leadership skills to achievements at school and work. Whats scary is that the least competent people are usually the most confident in their abilities.How c
48、an we avoid this fate? We must work on two specific types of insight. Internal selfawareness is an inward understanding of our passions and aspirations, strengths and weaknesses and so on. And external selfawareness, knowing how others see you, means understanding yourself from the outside in.It wou
49、ld be easy to assume that someone with internal selfawareness would also be externally awarethat being in touch with our feelings and emotions helps us tune into how were seen. Strangely, research has often shown no relationship between the twosome studies have even revealed an inverse(相反的) one.For those looking to gain
