Blind Olympic Athletes Show the Universal Nature
   Tune into any sports coverage on TV，and you will see many athletes proudly raise their arms and heads in victory，while a much larger number hang their shoulders and necks in defeat.Studies have revealed why-they are universal behaviours，performed by humans in response to success and failure.
   The discovery came from Jessica Tracy from the University of British Columbia and David Matsumoto from San Francisco State University，who wanted to see how people showed feelings of pride and shame. （1）

G
They tried to find a large group of people，and it was critically important that some of these subjects had never seen other people reacting to success or failure before.
The answer was Athens，during the 2004 Olympic Games.Its sister competition—the Paralympics-included many athletes who were born blind.（2）
C
C
Working with a professional photographer，Tracy and Matsumoto compared the body language of 108 competitors，41 of whom had lost their sight，and 12 of whom were blind from birth.The photographer repeatedly took pictures of these athletes after their competitions，and the researchers carefully recorded the positions of their heads，arms and bodies.（3）

The winners tilted their heads up，smiled，lifted their arms and puffed out their chests，while shoulders bent forward and narrowed chests were the marks of losers.

Men and women who have never seen other people behave in these ways still make exactly the same movements.And while it's possible that parents may have taught their blind children some of these actions，it's very unlikely that they could have taught them all-particularly the expansion or narrowing of the chest.
   These actions were also remarkably consistent between contestants from every part of the world.Tracy and Matsumoto argue that pride and shame deserve a place alongside other primary emotions like happiness，fear and surprise. （5）
A
A

A.They are inborn behaviours and are accompanied by their own distinct sets of actions.
B.In fact，the culture was found to have only a very small effect on their body language.
C.Therefore，they could not have witnessed how other people reacted to winning and losing.
D.The result suggested that the athletes were showing their pride based on careful observation.
E.The athletes' behaviours give strong evidence that they have had the actions naturally since birth.
F.Analyzing the data，they found that the sighted and sightless athletes behaved in almost exactly the same ways.
G.In particular，they wanted to know whether these expressions were culturally determined and learned through observation.

2．How Not to Annoy Wild Animals at National Parks National parks are a treasure that offer the chance to view native plants and animals in their natural habitat．However，as the number of visitors and wildlife populations increases，humans and animals too often find themselves in close distance．（1）

   Remember that the animals living in national parks are wild．Wild animals can be unpredictable and in national parks and many state parks，they are not contained．（2）

Never think that it is safe to approach them．
   （3）

Stop by the visitor's center and take the time to read about the types of wildlife in the park and what to expect，The park service posts these signs to protect you and the wildlife．So，if you see the warning signs，take care．
   Make sure you give animals space．The general rule is to keep 25 yards away from all wildlife，and minimum of 100 yards away from wolves and bears．（4）

If you're out hiking and you encounter wildlife，stick your thumb out and hold it out at eye level．If your thumb covers the entire animal，you're a safe distance away from that animal．
   Some wild animals look adorable and maybe you think handing them a snack two won't hurt．（5）

Feeding wildlife is a bad idea and you risk getting a bite．Plus human food is not healthy for animals and it makes them learn that people aren't the threat．This becomes a vicious cycle（惡性循環(huán)）that results in people getting too close and getting hurt．Wildlife have all they need to eat in their environment．

A．But don't do it．
B．You can follow the "rule of thumb"．
C．In national parks，there are warning signs everywhere．
D．At certain times of the year，wildlife can be more lovely．
E．So it's important to know how to respect wildlife and stay safe．
F．In another word，they go anywhere within the park as they please．
G．You should always pack up food after a picnic stop or at the campground．
