1.Woven baskets characterized by a particular
distinctive pattern have previously been found only in the
immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea and
therefore were believed to have been made only by the
Palean people. Recently, however, archaeologists
discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancient
village across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River
is very deep and broad, and so the ancient Paleans
could have crosd it only by boat, and no Palean boats
have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called
Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean.

而最近，考古学家在一个与 Palea 隔着一条叫做 Brim 河
的村庄 Lithos 发现了一个这样的 Palea 篮子。Brim 河很
深很宽，所以古代 Palea 人只能坐船穿过它，但没有证据

editor of a scientific journal.
"A recent study of eighteen rhesus monkeys provides
clues as to the effects of birth order on an individual's
levels of stimulation. The study showed that in
stimulating situations (such as an encounter with an
帝王本纪
unfamiliar monkey), firstborn infant monkeys produce up
to twice as much of the hormone cortisol, which primes
the body for incread activity levels, as do their
younger siblings. Firstborn humans also produce
linguarelatively high levels of cortisol in stimulating situations
(such as the return of a parent after an abnce). The
study also found that during pregnancy, first-time mother
monkeys had higher levels of cortisol than did tho who
had had veral offspring."
最近一项对恒河猴的调查揭示了出生顺序对于个体刺
激水平的影响。调查显示在受到刺激的环境下（例如遇到
一个不熟悉的猴子），头胎小猴的皮质醇分泌会翻倍 ，这
样增加了它及其兄弟姐妹的身体灵活度。人类的头胎孩子
在遇到刺激（例如父母外出回家）时也会分泌出相对浓度
的皮质醇。研究同时还发现在怀孕期间，第一次为人母的
猴子的皮质醇要比生过几次孩子后的猴子水平高很多。

感恩的含义from the owner of a skate shop in Central Plaza.
"Two years ago the city voted to prohibit
skateboarding in Central Plaza. They claimed that
skateboard urs were responsible for the litter and
vandalism that were keeping other visitors from coming
to the plaza. In the past two years, however, there has
only been a small increa in the number of visitors to慢性病申请
Central Plaza, and litter and vandalism are still
problematic. Skateboarding is permitted in Monroe Park,
however, and there is no problem with litter or vandalism
there. In order to restore Central Plaza to its former glory,
then, we recommend that the city lift its prohibition on
skateboarding in the plaza."
两年前，市里投票禁止了在中央广场玩滑板。他们认为
是滑板爱好者的废弃物和损毁公物的行为使游客远离了
广场。然而在过去两年中，中央广场的游客却只有少数增

M 公园就被允许，但是那里却没有任何的废弃物和损毁公

homeowner to a friend.
"Of the two leading real estate firms in our
北京的变化town—Adams Realty and Fitch Realty—Adams Realty is
clearly superior. Adams has 40 real estate agents; in
contrast, Fitch has 25, many of whom work only
part-time. Moreover, Adams' revenue last year was
twice as high as that of Fitch and included home sales
that averaged $168,000, compared to Fitch's $144,000.
Homes listed with Adams ll faster as well: ten years
