high school. the school sponsored a humanitarian trip for 26 students and two teachers to spend 18 days living in a mountain village to build a one-room school. even though armato trusted her

lucky as you are. they live in very poor conditions but theyre so happy and outgoing. you say, my god. im taking everything for granted back home.”she said they built a one-room school from scratch with no mechanical cement mixers. they used their hands, shovels and basic tools. she and another student lived with a local family in a small village about eight hours outside the capital, quito.

and fly off with classmates and teachers to developing countries where they volunteer for a variety of projects.“armatos worries are very common among parents,” says bill nevin, a teacher at st.

mum has gone, john helps himself to marys potatoweve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were youngthe brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit himbut mary and john are not humanstheyre african baboons(狒狒)_1_johns scream and his mothers attack on mary could have been a matter of chance, but john was later seen playing the same tricks on others_2_studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated_3_ an ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interestingwhen she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest

of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use of toolsfthis use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly used by baboonsgof
