Indian Man Plants a Whole Forest Alone.CScientists have long been interested in the impact of early-life experiences on adult behavior, studying the phenomenon in monkeys and people. But hardly any studies had been done in dogs.Guide
24、 dogs presented a useful group to study for several reasons. First, at The Seeing Eye, guide dog school in America, many puppies（幼犬）are raised in a single location under fairly controlled conditions. Second, the dogs have a clear measure of success: Either they graduate from the program to become a
25、working guide dog or they are released. And third, success as a guide dog isnt easy; the dog must be willing and able to navigate a complex and often-unpredictable environment while remaining attentive to its owner.To gather information about the puppies early-life experiences, Emily Bray and a team
26、 of researchers at The Seeing Eyes breeding center took video and closely observed 23 mothers and their 98 puppies for their first five weeks of life. “We wanted to know if we could separate the moms based on how they interacted with their puppies,” Bray said. “We recorded things like her nursing po
27、sition, how much time she spent looking away from the puppies and how much time she spent in close proximity（临近）to her puppies or licking them.”When the researchers tracked the puppies a couple of years down the line, they found that those with mothers that were more attentive were less likely to gr
28、aduate from The Seeing Eyes training program to become guide dogs. In particular, those dogs whose mothers nursed more often lying down, as opposed to sitting or standing up, were less likely to succeed.“If a mother is lying on her stomach, the puppies basically have free access to milk, but if the
29、mother is standing up, then the puppies have to work to get it,” said Bray. “It seems that you have to provide your kids with minor obstacles（障碍）that they can overcome for them to succeed later in life because, as we know, life as an adult involves obstacles.”28. What does the second paragraph mainl

33、ansporting wine at the time that they were eventually adopted by all of the cultures around the Mediterranean. Its uncertain when they first arrived in Rome, but Greek colonists in southern Italy may have been the first to introduce them.Previously, wine had been stored in leather sacks, but amphora
34、 offered several advantages to the Romans. They were airtight, strong, relatively lightweight, and had two large handles that made them easy to carry, an important feature at a time when almost everything had to be transported by hand Like modern wine bottles, aphora had long, narrow necks that limi
35、ted the amount of wine exposed to the open air. Similar to modern wine bottles, most amphoras became gradually thinner at the end. It made them easy to bury in the ground, which kept them cool during the warm months.Sealing up the top of an amphora was a major difficulty and a variety of methods wer
36、e used. The Egyptians stopped theirs with leaves and reeds covered with clay. The Greeks and Romans used rags and cork sometimes. None of these techniques provided an airtight seal, so Aleppo Pine resin（松脂）was used to seal the gaps around the top. It became so popular that resin was sometimes added
37、to the wine in order to improve its flavor. The Roman writer Pliny the Elder, writing in the first century, recommended adding resin to wine and believed resin made from trees in the mountains created a better aroma than resin made from trees in the lowlands.Though each amphora was constructed by ha
38、nd, they were surprisingly uniform. Roman amphoras held one cubic foot of liquid, exactly seven gallons, and eventually became a standard unit of measurement throughout the Roman Empire. Unlike Greek amphora, Roman amphoras were not decorated. Before it dried, each amphora was given a stamp with the
