0170124 From: Editor: clover The head of China39。s largest online seller Alibaba does not think China and the United States will have a trade war despite ments from the Trump administration. Jack Ma is the chairman of the Alibaba Group. At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, China and (the) . will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. He39。s openminded, he39。s listening. The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse. Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small . businesses to sell goods on Alibaba39。s online shopping platform. During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese government39。s support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away . jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan. Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies. According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, American international panies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization. He added that the . should not blame the loss of jobs and panies on globalization. However, a new study by an American business group says many . businesses feel unwele in China. The panies say the cost of doing business in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way. The American Chamber of Commerce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 panies. William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American panies. He says, we feel that over the last few years that we39。ve been taken advantage of to some extent, with our open market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market. Another major concern for . panies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year. Ma defended Alibaba39。s efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform. He said his pany is doing all it can to fight the problem. Fighting against fake products is a war against human greediness, Ma said.

As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die. Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O39。s. Then the team switched from reallife objects to Tshirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the Oshirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a twodimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning. I39。ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes outthink and outfeel other animals. They39。re other primates(靈長目動物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳動物的) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social panions. Longterm studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks. Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of food animals bring an ethical (倫理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science? Animal activists are already there, of course, mitted to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?(1)According to Annie Potts, hens have the ability of_____________. A.interaction
