Now they39。 Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks(圓片) that could be used like cash and showed them some yummy apple pieces. The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, they39。 If you think that is all the monkeys can figure out, you are wrong. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as apple sellers in the experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But that39。 Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both pieces only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monkeys chose to trade more with Allison. In the first experiment, the monkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, they39。d rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.re getting less, even when were not.

There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don39。 Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.t, because it would make it easier to use their methods. There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we municate.
