32、ings sometimes they may go otherwise.No Use Crying Over Spilt(溢出的) Milk. Crying can help people recover from disappointment. True, its dangerous to live on the past, but holding back those spilt-milk tears could hurt even more. A survey of more than 5,000 weepers in the Journal of Social and Clinica
33、l Psychology suggests that people who do not cry only feel worse. Or, to put it another way, “Sometimes we should cry over spilt milk,” writes Aaron Ben-Zeev, a philosophy professor at the University of Haifa in Israel. “Otherwise, how will we learn to value milk, and how will we avoid spilling it a

42、s a mysteryone that scientists will try to solve by researching the genes of more than 1,000 bat species.The project, called Bat 1K, was announced on 14 November at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California. Its organizers also hope to learn more about the flying ma
43、mmals echolocation abilitythe ability to find directions in the dark; their strong immune systems that can defend against Ebola, a deadly virus; and their relatively long lifespans.“The genomes of all these other species, like birds and mice, are well-understood,” says an expert at the Max Planck In
44、stitute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. “But we dont know anything about bat genes yet.”Some bats show babbling behavior, including barks, chatter, screeches, whistles and trills, says Mirjam Knrnschild, a behavioral ecologist at the Free University of Berlin. Young bats learn th
45、e songs and other sounds from older male tutors. They use these sounds during courtship and mating, when they seek food and as they defend their territory against rivals.Scientists have studied the vocal sounds of only about 50 bat species so far, Knrnschild says, and they know much less about bats
46、communication than birds. Four species of bat have so far been found to learn vocal sounds from each other, their fathers and other adult males, just as a child gradually learns how to speak from its parents. Genetic studies have discovered at least one gene in bats that is linked to speech and lang
47、uage, called FOXP2. The gene is also known to have a role in how people learn language, and in vocal learning in song-birds. Researchers working on the Bat 1K project expect to find that other genes are also involved in communication, and that many more bat species have the ability to learn songs, c
48、alls and other sounds. “Its not a rare trait,” Knrnschild says. “Im becoming convinced that all bats are more or less the same in vocal learning.”Bats echolocation ability has been studied for many years, partly because of its applications to sonar and radar. But scientists know very little about th

The study of vocal learning in bats is “nearly completely untapped”, he sayscomparing it to the state of research into birdsong 60 years ago. 52.
