12、.Mrs Mullen recovered well and soon left hospital.

13、ts only a few hours a week. I saw the ad for volunteers while I was staying here. Its my way of saying thank you for all that this hospital has done for me.”Thank you?

16、ws how to find food, avoid being eaten, and raise babies is pretty smart. But can animals learn and remember or can they solve problems?Many animals have good memories for where food is - a useful skim Scrub jays (灌丛鸦) may be the champions. In one experiment, scientists put them in pre-made holes. A
17、fter the jays had hidden some food, they were taken out. Scientists mapped where the food was hidd6n and then remove ii, which meant the jays couldnt find the holes by smell. But when the jays came back again, they went right to the hiding they had used. In the wild, they remember where thousands of
18、 holes arc. Could you do that? Another important smart skill is being able to spot shapes and generalize. This kind of test work best with animals that see well and are interested in pictures.

This generation didnt invent stupidity, of course; its just the first to post the picture online the entire world to see. And thats
25、the rub: Employers are getting clever at looking you up online. They look at what people post and wonder. Is that new salesperson, the one who made a strange face on , likely to do the same at a conference?”Anything that you put online is public information. This should seem pretty obvious to the ge
26、neration who grew up on these sites, right? But its not. When it comes to the Net, young people tend to fell for two traps.

28、tity management, which helps people remove embarrassing material.The new industry serves to remind us that weve got to be careful out there. Most of us have got drunk or done something we regret.
