Monkeys do not like it when others get more food than they do, according to a new study.
Researchers from Yale and Harvard 1.(university) found Capuchin monkeys punish monkeys that get more food. “This sort of, ' If I can't have it, no one can ' 2.(respond)is because of psychological spite (怨恨）,and it was3. (previous) thought unique to humans,” said Kristin Leimgruber of Harvard University. She is a co-author of the research study. The researchers watched as some Capuchin monkeys4. (give) more food than others. They found that monkeys getting the 5.(small) share pulled a rope to fold up a table holding the other monkey’s bigger share.
Another lead researcher, Laurie Santas, explained over email, “I think 6.we can conclude about humans is that some of our more 7.(embarrass) tendencies have relatively deep roots.” Santos said the spiteful reaction was not present with another member of the ape species—chimpanzees(黑猩猩).
An earlier study, she said, showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees 8.(steal) food from them.9.they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened to have more food, Santos said. 10.other words, it was fine if another chimpanzee had more food as long as they did not steal it.

Are you looking for a new pastime that will create a balance between physical activity and relaxation? Then yoga may be the perfect choice for you.1.It can also be done anywhere at any time. It's a great way to strengthen your muscles and become more flexible.
In the 1930s, Indian Sri Tirumali and K. Pattabhi developed one of the most popular forms of yoga practised worldwide today. They worked together using an ancient Sansknt text called Yoga Korunta to create a set routine of yoga movements and breathing exercises.2.
Ashtanga yoga is different from other forms of yoga. It is a very powerful form of aerobic (有氧的）exercise which creates deep heat in the body. 3.In other forms of yoga, however, the routine can change each time and the stretching exercises aren't aerobic.
4.As well as making you stronger and more flexible, it can also help you to stay calm.By focusing on your breathing while doing physical exercise, you are able to get a balance between mind and body. In addition, yoga helps to make us healthier so we are less likely to get common illnesses like colds.
Furthermore, yoga encourages you to think about what you're doing. Often you will close your eyes while doing certain movements.5..After a few lessons you'll stop looking at what the others around you are doing. You will stop comparing yourself and start focusing on yourself.

B. The result of their co-operation was ashtanga yoga.
C. Whatever kind of yoga you choose, there are many long-term benefits.
D. This allows you to concentrate better and it makes you less competitive.
E. Every time someone practices ashtanga, he or she does exactly the same movements.
F. If you're interested in yoga, but cannot find a class near you, then it might be an excuse to travel.

Microsoft PowerPoint is the world’s most common presentation tool. It emerged from software company Forethought Inc in the 1980s. Bob Gaskins was the man behind it.
“I knew in the early 80s that there were as many as a billion, a thousand million presentation slides being made per year just in America,” Gaskins says，“ but they were all made by hand and almost nobody was using computers to do them.
“It was clear to me that here was a huge application worth billions and billions of dollars a year that could be done on computers as soon as there was a revolution in the kinds of computers that we had.”
Gaskins was onto something, but it was a hard sell at the time. The software wouldn’t run on any existing personal computers. Anyone wanting to use it had to buy a new machine. Even so, people bought personal computers for the first time in order to be able to use PowerPoint, says Wired magazine journalist Russell Davies.
Davies explains that before PowerPoint, people used slides to convey information to groups --- but anyone creating a presentation had to send away to get their materials made. It took a long time to do, was difficult to make changes and because it was so expensive, only the most senior people in an organisation got to do it.
“ PowerPoint，” Davies says，“made it possible for everyone in an organisation to stand up and say their piece.”
PowerPoint has helped turn us all into presenters --- but it’ s also been accused of over-simplifying ideas and distracting (干扰)us from clear thinking.
Sarah Kaplan is a management professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. She has noticed that, rather than people asking for new analysis or insights in meetings, they were asking for more PowerPoint slides.
Kaplan says that some CEOS, such as Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, have banned its use. “He felt, and I think many people feel, that PowerPoint became such an object of the process that they lost the ideas inside of it and that is the risk.”
