21、Science is finally beginning to embrace animals who were, for a long time, considered second-class citizens.
As Annie Potts of Canterbury University has noted, chickens distinguish among one hundred chicken faces and recognize familiar individuals even after months of separation. When given problems to solve, they reason: hens trained to pick colored buttons sometimes choose to give up an immediate food reward for a slightly later (and better) one. Healthy hens may aid friends, and mourn when those friend die.
Pigs respond meaningful to human symbols. When a research team led by Candace Croney at Penn State University carried wooden blocks marked with X and O symbols around pigs, only the O carriers offered food to the animals. The pigs soon ignored the X carriers in favor of the O's. Then the team switched from real-life objects to T-shirts printed with X or O symbols. Still, the pigs walked only toward the O-shirted people: they had transferred their knowledge to a two-dimensional format, a not inconsiderable feat of reasoning.
I’ve been guilty of prejudiced expectations, myself. At the start of my career almost four decades ago, I was firmly convinced that monkeys and apes out-think and out-feel other animals. They're other primates(灵长目动物), after all, animals from our own mammalian(哺乳动物的) class. Fairly soon, I came to see that along with our closest living relatives, whales too are masters of cultural learning, and elephants express profound joy and mourning with their social companions. Long-term studies in the wild on these mammals helped to fuel a viewpoint shift in our society: the public no longer so easily accepts monkeys made to undergo painful procedure kin laboratories, elephants forced to perform in circuses, and dolphins kept in small tanks at theme parks.
Over time, though, as I began to broaden out even further and explore the inner lives of fish, chickens, pigs, goats, and cows, I started to wonder: Will the new science of "food animals" bring an ethical (伦理的) revolution in terms of who we eat? In other words, will our ethics start to catch up with the development of our science?
Animal activists are already there, of course, committed to not eating these animals. But what about the rest of us? Can paying attention to the thinking and feeling of these animals lead us to make changes in who we eat?

22、Studies have suggested early rising and success might be linked. People who wake up early are more in keeping with the traditional corporate schedule and tend to have more positive personalities, which might lead to better grades in school or higher wages on the job.
Is getting up early for everyone? No.There's been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert (机敏的)in the morning, while others are at their best at night.You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的)ability in the afternoon, for instance.So, if you don't naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.Of course, people may have personal reasons for making an early start.Parents with young children or workers with nontraditional hours may also have no choice about what time they start the day.
Getting up early doesn't necessarily translate to instant success at the office.In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.Especially if you don't normally wake up super early and are trying to follow some kind of productivity fashion.An even worse condition may arise if you're actually reducing sleep to become an early riser.Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack.Getting a full night's sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important.So if early rising means cutting sleep, don't do it.
What should you do? Don't listen to thoughtleaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you.Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake.Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally.Try to adjust your schedule to those times, as that's how you'll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead.And above all, it's getting adequate amounts of sleep.
