10、hardest part of the job is searching for cattle lost in the bush. But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, its not a problem. Once he spots Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. Thats because Toro isnt an ordinary member of the herd. Hes a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the

11、shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.Toros unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some her

12、ders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrews farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as th

13、ey ate grass.Toro doesnt always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be “the boss.” He is very used to their c

14、ompany,” Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. “But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess,” said Andrew.When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. “In the wild,

18、ding appearing in AfricaD Moments showing friendship between animalsBA group of university professors recently created a scanner they believe can predict the perfect job for anyone-simply by looking at their fingerprints. The group says that in the future, fingerprints could help tell a persons key

19、personalities.To use the scanner, people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer technology connected to sensors reads back what sort of work would suit the individual (个人).The machine bases its results on a collection of a large amount of information in the computer about how f

20、ingerprint shapes connect to job selection.Local companies help researchers from the citys Kuban University of Physical Education and Sport to test the technology.Twenty-one-year-old Oscar Galkin, a mathematics graduate, said, “I got the result from the scanner that I would be suited to a job in IT,

21、 which is exactly what I want to do. I dont know if it is luck or if it can really read a persons talents, but it worked for me.”And Zara Tokareva, aged 20, who feels uncomfortable at the sight of blood, said, “I want to be a house designer but the machine said. I should be a nurse. So, no, I dont t

22、hink it is as clever as is being made out.”Though fingerprint identification has been widely used in crime discovering, it is still a science that has a lot of possibility of being used, say experts, from discovering drug misuse to personality analysis-exactly as hand readers have been saying to do

23、for centuries.“The basic idea is that although everybodys fingerprints are completely different, there are obvious features that are common on the fingers of certain professionals working in certain jobs.” Said researcher Ravil Yudin.“Its not really a new idea because hand readers have been saying f

24、or hundreds of years that you can tell a persons future by reading their hands. We want to match that by looking at fingerprints and trying to tell what career path people would choose.”25.

27、d intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception (感知) of the food in front of us. A new study suggested that our short-term memory may also play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, peoples hun

28、ger levels were predicted not by how much theyd eaten but rather by how much food theyd seen in front of themin other words, how much they remembered eating.This difference suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jef

29、frey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University of Bristol.“Hunger isnt controlled merely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal,” Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger a

30、nd food intake is more complex than we thought.”These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perceptions of food can sometimes trick our bodys response to the food itself. In a 2016 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced diff

31、erent levels of hunger-related hormones (荷尔蒙), depending on whether the shakes label said it contained 620 or 140 calories.
