She bought a book and a bag of cookies in the airport shop, and found a place to drop.She was interested in her book, but the man sitting beside her grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid an argument.So she ate the cookies noisily and watched the clock, as the cookie thief diminished (使……变少) her stock. She was getting angrier as the minutes passed, thinking, “Oh, brother, if I wasn’t so nice, I would blacken your eyes.”With each cookie she took, he took one, too. When only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, and he ate the other. She got it from him and thought, “This guy has some nerve(胆量) and he’s also rude. Why didn’t he even show any gratitude?”She had never known when she had been so angry. She gathered her bag and headed for the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate (忘恩负义者).She boarded the plane and then she sought her book, which was almost complete.

A rude manBI started skating when I was 3 years old in Canada, my father’s birthplace. Competing in the Olympic Games had been a dream of mine, but it was not the most impor tant thing in my or my family’s life.My parents were not willing to separate me from my family or take me out of my local public school to accomplish my dream. If I was going to make it in skating, I was going to do it by being a functional family member and following the same rules as my brothers and sisters. And this suited me just fine — one house, one school, one community, one rink (滑冰场) — provided a very stable and productive environment.When I was 12 years old, my mother was sick. I was on the way to making my first national team. Seeing my excitement gave her strength. On days she was too weak to walk down the hospital corridor, she would think, “I have to make it through. I have to be t here for my kid.” My mom was able to leave the hospital to come to Philadelphia to watch me win the Junior Ladies title. That day I was skating for more than just the judges.The stability instilled (逐渐培养) in my life by my parents made all the difference when I performed in Salt Lake City on skating’s grandest stage. When I stood atop the Olympic podium five months after 9/11 in my home country, I was able to share more than just my skating experience with others. My younger sister, Emily, who competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics, was raised in the same stable, supportive environment.40.

And if you are really lucky, you might see a frog do it.What makes humans unique (独特的) is pop culture. One guy can make a song, put it on an album or the Internet and have thousands of people singing along to it. T here’s no way another animal does that, right?Well, we know of at least one.Wait! What?Whale songs become “hits” that can spread halfway around the world. All the males (雄性动物) usually sing just one song at any given time. But once they get bored of that song, a member in the group will start singing a new one. Sometimes, this new song contains elements (特色) of the old song combined with some new things. At other times, this song is completely new.Once a new song catches on, every male in the group will start singing it, too. But that’s just a bunch of whales in a group imitating (模仿) each other. That’s not like the pop culture humans have, right?Scientists have found out that a song doesn’t stay limited to just one population. A pop song will actually spread all over the Pacific, from Australia to French Polynesia, thousands of miles, over a couple of years. For some reason, all the whales in the east of Australia are the ones who will just plagiarize(剽窃) their western neighbors’ songs once they hear them sing a new song.47.
