20、Humans with normal colour vision, can see red, blue and green colours. But deer can only pick up blue and green light, they are effectively colourblind to the colour red, like some humans.

However, when viewed as a two-colour vision observer, the tigers colour i

24、s very effective.”The question then arises as to why tigers dont grow green coats. Dr Fennell and colleagues write that mammals (哺乳动物) are not able to produce green fur.

38、t important features, and one too often taken for granted.The human desire for companionship may feel boundless, but research suggests that our social capital is finitewe can only handle a certain number of relationships at one time. Social scientists have used some creative approaches to measure th

Looking more specifically at friendship, a study using the exchange of Christmas cards to test closeness put the average persons friend group at about 121 people. However vast our networks

Reconnected friends can quickly recapture the trust they previously built, while offering each other a dash of novelty（新奇）drawn from whatever theyve been

44、up to in the meantime. And if all else fails, you could start randomly to tell secrets to people you dont know that well. Self-disclosure makes us more likable, and as a bonus, we are more likely to favor those to whom we have revealed our soul.Longing for closeness and connection is common and ever

45、ywhere, which suggests that most of us are stumbling（跌跌撞撞）through the world, expecting companionship that could be easily provided by the lonesome stumblers all around us.
