10、r his hand to help him stand up. He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man ou

11、t of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator. We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The mans knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his

12、own feet. At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before Iknewit, he left 100 dollars anddashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note. My initial reaction t

13、o getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended. Then I thought he just wanted to thank me, the best way he knew how.

16、ple. A screenshot (截屏) of a micro blog post showing some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins. Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or k

17、illed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the worlds “endangere

18、d animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas. A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in numbers. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scale

19、s are made of keratin (角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of. Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. Its a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangol

23、to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, its a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The experience results from the fight between the brains “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward sy

24、stem” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups of photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants

25、looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they looked at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed (征服的). By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cut

26、e adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way that people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire

27、 to protect cute things.As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is the brains way of bringing us back down by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of bal

28、ancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly cute.So, although cute babies and adorable animals may look completely helpless, their vulnerable (易受伤害的) appearance may in fac

29、t help them to survive.27.
