26、Monkeys surprise us
Humans are the most intelligent animals on Earth. 【1】But sometimes, our way of thinking can become an obstacle (障碍).
Julia Watzek, a graduate student in psychology at Georgia State University, US, recently did some research on the problem-solving abilities of both monkeys and humans.【2】They intended to test their ability to change their strategies(策略) in the game. In this game, each player was shown four squares on a computer screen: one striped square, one spotted square and two blank squares. While being trained to play the game, they learned that clicking the stripedsquare and then the spotted square would cause a blue triangle to pop up in one of the blank squares. Clicking on the blue triangle would give them a reward. 【3】 But partway through the game, the researchers introduced a shortcut (捷径). Suddenly, the blue triangle started appearing at the start of gameplay, alongside the striped and spotted squares.【4】Remarkably, about 70 percent of the monkeys figured out this shortcut immediately. 【5】 Only 1 out of 56 human players figured out the shortcut right away.
Watzek’s conclusion was that humans tend to get “stuck in their ways” when it comes to strategic thinking. Things such as standardized testing and formal schooling might cause humans to use the same strategy over and over, even when it doesn’t work very well.
A.Monkeys never did better than human.
B.She and her team had them play a simple game.
C.The spotted square didn’t appear at all till the end.
D.Humans, on the other hand, were slow to figure it out.
E.We have mental abilities that other animals don’t have.
F.If a player clicked on the blue triangle, they’d receive their reward right away.
G.Human players would hear a “woop!” sound and monkey players would receive a snack.
27、 Learning Chinese has never been more convenient now that everyone carries a smartphone in their pockets. There are a number of Mandarin Chinese learning apps for iPhone and Android out on the market, ranging from simple games and flashcard apps to full-blown language courses with your own virtual tutor.
Fluentu: Learn through Real World Content
If you have ever taken a language class in school you probably used a textbook filled with all sorts of exercises or reading passages. Usually this content is manufactured, boring, and not like anything you would normally meet in real life.
Fluentu takes a novel approach to language learning by using real world Chinese language video content taken from the Internet. Vocabulary specific to each video is taught and every video has subtitles in Chinese. Videos are usually very interesting and range from commercials, music videos and so on — great for cultural education.

ChineseSkill teaches language much like the popular language learning app Duolingo. It starts off the basics through contained topical modules like numbers, food, directions etc. Instruction is laid out in an intuitive （直观的）way, slowly introducing grammar and vocabulary through a series of mini-games. Most of the tasks in Chinese Skill use pinyin and English but there are also some character recognition tasks as well. If you want to learn how to write Chinese, this app won't be enough for you. But for basic conversational listening, speaking, and vocabulary, this little app does the trick in a very entertaining way. Even better it's totally free!
Skritter: learning to write Chinese characters
