A
The country is India. A large dinner party is being given in an up-country station by a colonial
official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and an American
naturalist.
At one side of the long table, a spirited discussion springs up between a young girl and an army
officer. The girl insists women have long outgrown the jumping- on- a- chair
-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer
says they are, arguing women haven't the actual nerve control of men.
“A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the officer says, “is to scream. And while a man may feel
like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has."
The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of the other
guests. As he stares, he sees a slight, though strange look of anxiety come over the face of the hostess.
With a small gesture she summons the servant standing behind her chair. She whispers to him. The
servant's eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor the servant
when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors.
The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait for a snake.
He realizes there is a cobra in the room. The American's eyes move across the room but he sees
nothing. He realizes the snake can only be in one place-under the table.
His first reaction is to jump back and warn the others. But he knows any sudden movement will
frighten the cobra and it will strike. He speaks quickly, the quality of his voice so arresting that it
quietens everyone." I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will count three
hundred-that's five minutes-and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready!"
The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying".… two hundred and eighty.."
when, out of the corner of his eye, he sees the snake emerge and make for the bowl of milk.
Four or five screams ring out as he jumps to slam shut the balcony doors.
There is your proof!" the host says. "A man has just shown us real control." 2
"Just a minute," the American says, turning to his hostess," How did you know that cobra was in
the room?"
A faint smile comes across the woman's face as she replies. "Because it was lying across my
foot."

In 1874Francis Galton, a British professor, analyzed a sample of English scientists and found
the vast majority to be first-born sons. This led him to theorize that first-born children enjoyed a
special level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellectually. Half a
century later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality.
First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, while the later-born were more outgoing
and emotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have
been varied-some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.
The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small-often limited to a few

The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts in higher
education isn’t an either / or one, although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM (science,
technology, engineering, maths)-related fields can make it seem that way.
The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training, but also insists
that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central elements of America’s educational
system at all levels. Both areas are the key to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic
society, become innovative leaders, and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great

Bird migration is described as the regular, seasonal movement of bird populations from one place to another
and back again.
The longer days and rich food of the northern summer provide greater chances for birds to feed their young.
The longer daylight hours and enormous food resources allow birds to lay larger eggs than those of related
non-migratory species that remain in the tropics all year round. As the days shorten in autumn and the breeding
period is over, the birds return to warmer regions where the available food supply differs little with the seasons
changing. The advantages of migration make up for the high stress, physical exertion（消耗）, and other risks of the
migration.
Day length is the primary environmental factor that encourages birds to prepare for migration. They have an
