10、 than its appearance. In the early Qing Dynasty, it 6as the boundary(邊界) between Zhang family and Wu family.

Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, t

19、 and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So ever

20、y morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning.

21、In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隱匿處) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (蔭處) out of the wind and rain.Good wildlif

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well， obviously its because we have mirror neurons (神經元)

26、 in our brains.Put simply， the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something， our brains model after it， whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile， talk， walk， dance or play sports. But the idea g

27、oes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and t

28、o understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example： “The hand took hold of the ball”)， the same mirror neurons weretriggeredas when the action was a

29、ctually performed (in this example， actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使職責). However， it is not yet kn

Indeed， it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience a

How did

34、 that happen? Susan Fletcher rememberswondering when she first read a history of the Royal Menagerie（皇家動物園）at the Tower of London.Fletcher knew she wanted to write about that bear, but she also knew she would have to do a lot of research. The bear lived more than 750 years ago, during the medieval（中

35、世紀的） period in Europe.Fletcher loves digging around in the past, though. Most of her 12 books have been set in times long ago and far away. And most include animal characters, both real and imaginary. Journey of the Pale Bear took five years to research and write, because there were so few facts abo

Thanks to a special invitation from the curator（負責人）of the Oregon Zoo, Fletcher had a chance to closely watch two polar bear

38、s. Neville, Fletchers dog, also helped Fletcher better understand how humans and animals might communicate without words. Being with Nevillegave Fletcher ideas about how Arthur and the bear might relate to each other.The most exciting part of the research, though, was a visit to the Tower of London.

42、not harm us. I slept well. When I went outside the next morning, I saw that there were many more natives on the beach. It was low tide, and many of them had come quite close to the Nautilus. I asked Conseil to get a net, and we used it to get some shells from the water. They were very pretty shells.

43、 Suddenly, I saw a very rare and beautiful shell. We looked at it together. One of the savages threw a stone at us and broke the shell. Conseil was very angry. He fired his gun at the savage. Then, we noticed that the savages had come very close to the Nautilus in their canoes. A few moments later,

44、they began to shoot their arrows at us. We went inside and told Captain Nemo about it. He ordered his men to close the doors.“But what will happen tomorrow?” I asked. “You will have to open the doors to get more air, and the savages will come in.”“Do you think they will dare?”“I am sure they will.”“

45、We have nothing to fear,” he said again.Captain Nemo asked me about our trip to the island. I told him what we had seen and done. We talked about another French sailor called DUrville, whose ship was wrecked in the Torres Strait. He told me again that the high tide the next day would lift the Nautil
