10、colleague has been given a bigger one.Indeed,if he has a reputationfor slacking,you might even be outraged.Such behaviour is regarded asall toohuman,with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capableof this finely developed sense of grievance.But a study by Sarah Brosnan andFrans
11、 de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta,Georgia,which has just beenpublished in Nature,suggests that it is all too monkey,as well.The researchers studied the behaviour of female brown capuchin monkeys.They look cute.They are good-natured,co-operative creatures,and they sharetheir food readily.Above
12、all,like their female human counterparts,they tend topay much closer attention to the value of goods and servicesthan males.Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr.Brosnans and Dr.de Waals study.The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys toexchange tokens for food.Normal
13、ly,the monkeys were happy enough toexchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber.However,when two monkeyswere placed in separate but adjoining chambers,so that each could observe whatthe other was getting in return for its rock,their behaviour became markedlydifferent.In the world of capuchins,grap
14、es are luxury goods and much preferable tocucumbers).So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for hertoken,the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber.And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange atall,the other either tossed her ow
15、n token at the researcher or out of the chamber,or refused to accept the slice of cucumber.Indeed,the mere presence of a grapein the other chamber without an actual monkey to eat it)was enough to induceresentment in a female capuchin.The researchers suggest that capuchin monkeys,like humans,are guid
16、ed bysocial emotions.In the wild,they are a co-operative,group-living species.Suchco-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not beingcheated.Feelings of righteous indignation,it seems,are not the preserve ofpeople alone.Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feel
17、ingsabundantly clear to other members of the group.However,whether such a senseof fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans,or whether it stemsfrom the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago,is,as yet,an unanswered question.英语（一）试题.3.（共14页)21.In the opening paragraph,
