Research on animal intelligence always makes me wonder just how smart humans are. 1 the
fruit-fly experiments described in Carl Zimmer's piece in the Science Times on Tuesday. Fruit flies who
were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly 2 to live shorter lives. This suggests that 3
bulbs burn longer, that there is an 4 in not being too terrifically bright.
Intelligence, it 5 out, is a high-priced option. It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow 6
the starting line because it depends on learning — a gradual 7 process instead of instinct. Plenty of
other species are able to learn, and one of the things they've apparently learned is when to 8.
Is there an adaptive value to 9 intelligence? That's the question behind this new research. I like it.
Instead of casting a wistful glance 10 at all the species we've left in the dust I.Q.-wise, it implicitly
asks what the real 11 of our own intelligence might be. This is 12 the mind of every animal I've
ever met.
Research on animal intelligence also makes me wonder what experiments animals would 13 on
humans if they had the chance. Every cat with an owner, 14 , is running a small-scale study in operant
conditioning. we believe that 15 animals ran the labs, they would test us to 16 the limits of our
patience, our faithfulness, our memory for terrain. They would try to decide what intelligence in humans
is really 17 not merely how much of it there is. 18 , they would hope to study a 19 question: Are
humans actually aware of the world they live in? 20 the results are inconclusive.

Text 1
Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing
into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. "Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,"
William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word "habit"
carries a negative connotation.
So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But
brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel
synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new,
innovative tracks.
But don't bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the
hippocampus, they're there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create
parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.
"The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder," says Dawna Markova, author
of "The Open Mind" and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. "But we are
taught instead to 'decide,' just as our president calls himself 'the Decider.' " She adds, however, that "to
decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many
other possibilities."
All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware, she says. Researchers in the late
1960 covered that humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four primary ways:
analytically, procedurally, relationally (or collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty, however, the

All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re
unaware, she says. Researchers in the late 1960 covered that
humans are born with the capacity to approach challenges in four
primary ways: analytically, procedurally, relationally (or
collaboratively) and innovatively. At puberty, however, the brain
shuts down half of that capacity, preserving only those modes of
thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade
or so of life.
The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights
analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us inherently use
our innovative and collaborative modes of thought. “This breaks
the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can
do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book
“This Year I Will...” and Ms. Markova’s business partner.

When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero is not biting her nails just yet. But the
47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either.
Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped
showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. “I'm a good economic indicator,” she says.
“I provide a service that people can do without when they're concerned about saving some dollars.”
So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle--brow Dillard's department store near her suburban
Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don't know if other clients are going to abandon
