18、ble to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what was bought in question.

19、ormation as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the

24、m consumersCHumans invention of zero was very important for modern mathematics and science, but were not the only to consider “nothing” a number. Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and now bees have joined the club, too.Honey bees are known to have some number skills such as the abi
25、lity to count to four, which may occur when following landmarks in their environment To see whether these abilities extended to understanding zero, researchers trained 10 bees to identify the smaller of two numbers. Across a series of trials, they showed the insects two different pictures displaying
26、 a few black shapes on a white background. If the bees flew to the picture with the smaller number of shapes, they were given delicious sugar water, but if they flew toward the larger number, they were punished with bitter-tasting quinine（奎宁）.Once the bees had learned to consistently make the correc
27、t choice, the researchers gave them a new option: a white background containing no shapes at all. Even though the bees had never seen an empty picture before, 64% of the time they chose this option rather than a picture containing two or three shapes. This suggests that the insects understood that “
28、zero” is less than two or three. And they werent just going for the empty picture because it was new and interesting: Another group of bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.In further experiments, the researchers showed that bees understanding
29、of zero was even more complex: For example, they were able to distinguish between one and zero-a challenge even for some other members of the zero club. Advanced number abilities like this could give animals an evolutionary（进化的）advantage, helping them find food sources. And if an insect can display

35、es bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie（自拍照）in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the
36、 destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
