18、neath” as he felt the air current push up from below. The 63-year-old had come across a new, 60-meter-deep limestone cave, a discovery that made the headlines this summer in a country that prides itself on its 14,000 underground caves. The tiny Alpine nation is unusually rich in caves, which are a m

19、ajor tourist attraction. Perhaps the best known is the Postojna cave system, the longest in Europe, discovered by another amateur enthusiast two centuries ago. It extends for 24 kilometers and has offered up valuable finds for biologists.Stanislav Glazar, a Postojna cave guide, told AFP that more th

20、an 150 species have been discovered in the system.

21、1872.Elsewhere in the Karst region, the cave systems are of historical, cultural and even extraterrestrial interest.

Ludvik Husu is often upset about entering unexplored caves.CWhen evaluating people on various psychological tests, psychologists often distinguish between markers of absolute performance and relative performan

27、ce. Absolute performance reflects the raw measurement of something, like the time it takes to run a mile. Relative performance is how a person rates in relation to their peers, as in what place a runner gets in a race.The standards we use to evaluate ourselves are almost always relative, as we compa

28、re ourselves to our peers and the standards that are most familiar to us.

While this level of poverty would lead most people to wake up dep

29、ressed each day, Omar is one of the most optimistic and appreciative individuals I know. Why?

Psychologists try to help people focus on personal growth around the achievement of concrete goals in line with their values. independent of the achievement of others.

38、never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from todays popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be e

39、njoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Wor

40、ks of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain th

41、e long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before.
