A
Empathy lets us feel another person’s pain and drives us to help. Do any other
animals feel empathy? Scientists recently found that rats(老鼠) do, too.
s, rats are only bad. But Jean Most people don’t like rats. In many people’s eye
Decety and his partners at the University of Chicago did an experiment. It showed that
rats are kind, warm-h earted animals. They can feel each other’s pain.
Scientists placed pairs of rats in plastic cages(笼子) for two weeks. During this
time they got to know each other. Then they put one of the rats from each pair into a
small container(容器) in the cages. The small container had a door. It was so designed
as to fall to the side when the free rat touched it. Many of the trapped(困住的) rats
squeaked(吱吱叫) to show their discomfort. The other rats of the pairs could see their
suffering friends clearly.
In most pairs, the free rats would become very worried about their friends. They
kept trying to save their friends again and again throughout the month. Scientists put the
rats’ favorite chocolate in the cages, but the rats didn’t eat it until they had saved t friends successfully. Scientists also found that female rats seemed to act more
empathetic than male rats.
“The results are the first to show that rats take action in response to another
trouble,” Decety said. “Monkeys and chimpanzees have similar behavior. But unlike
those animals, rats can be ready used in laboratory studies. They will help us to learn
which parts of the brain lead to empathy and helping behavior and whether empathy is
natural.”

B
Have you ever had dreams about building a robot? Or putting together a spaceship? Or even seeing your face made out of chocolate? Done. All you need is a
3-D printer!
The possibilities of 3-D printing seem endless. All the user has to do is to designan object on the computer and choose a material to print in. The printers print in hundreds of different materials including glass, sugar and even skin! When the user presses -D printer spreads the material layer(层) by layer and like magic the object “print”, the 3
is produced.
The first 3-D printer was invented in 1986 by an American, Charles Hull. But 3-D printing has only become cheap enough recently for most people to use. Designers now use 3-D printing to create unusual things. The Dutch artist Dirk Vander Kooj prints furniture made from old fridges. And doctors have used 3-D printing to print human body parts! The Telegraph reported in February that scientists from Cornell Medical College even printed a man-made ear.
But like a lot of new technologies, if 3-D printing gets into the wrong hands, it can be
dangerous. In 2011 a group of four men in the US used 3-D printing to produce ATM skimmers (提款机盗刷器). These were placed on an ATM and stole over $400,000
from users of the ATM. It is terrible to think that criminals like them might one day use
a 3-D printer to print a gun.
But for better or for worse, 3-D printing has been put into u se. In a few years, you’ll probably be wondering how you could ever live without your 3-D printer!

American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44

hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in
the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.

left. In front of me, thirty pairs of eyes looked at me. I knew he had told the students
that I was blind. I could almost feel the question behind their eyes: “Blind” I f answer too: “If she’s blind, this should be good!” I heard quiet voices in a corner of th classroom. For a moment, I felt afraid. I knew at once that I had to be strong.
“Class,” I said as loudly as I could. “I may be blind. But I am not foolish. Take those naughty smiles off your faces, and stop talking, please!” Of course, I could no their faces; I just guessed that some of them were smiling. The class were quiet. They
were very surprised. I knew that I had done the right thing.
As the days went by, the students had more surprises. I could smell when the children

When I was a child I never said, "When I grow up, I want to be a CEO," but here I am. When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn't a straight, clear path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there's a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.
As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may be different, but the people in that position(位置) share the qualities of commitment（义务）, work ethic（道德）and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way—putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.
I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）
from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with success. And I always had a dream job pattern(模式): to walk to work, work for myself and
build something for consumers(顾客).
I'm only 29, so it's been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer
product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other workmates, where I became a CEO.
Career advice: Don't figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you'd like to work at. Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doing. . . and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you're graduating, don't stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they're not, you're really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.
