They can even distinguish their mothers voice from that of a female stranger. But when it es to embryonic learning

20、 (胎 教), birds could rule the roost. As recently reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch (孵化). New-born chicks can then imitate their moms call within a few days of entering the world.This educational method was first observ

21、ed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs. When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mo

A puter analysis blindly pared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothe

In addition, the team set up a separate e*periment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their moms voice were rewarded with the most food.This observation hints that effective embryonic learning cou

28、check those who control its flow. A century ago, the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants巨頭that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.Such situations have led to

29、 calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime. The giants success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery. Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more

30、 data. And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and petition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target adver

31、tising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other panies. Internet panies control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a Gods eye view of activities in their own markets and beyond.This nature o

32、f data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would bee great again. A rethink is required and as a new approach starts to bee apparent, two ideas stand out.The first is that an

33、titrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并), for e*ample, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the e*tent of firms data assets(資產(chǎn)) when assessing the impact of deals. The p

34、urchase price could also be a signal that an established pany is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born pany has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have ov

35、er data and give more to those who supply them. panies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users consent.Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if g

39、分DOld Problem, New ApproachesWhile clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life, global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions排放peak. So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today, we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate change. Here I will stress s

40、ome smarter and more creative e*amples of climate adaptation.When it es to adaptation, it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard, but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why, in part at least, the US

41、National Climate Assessment says that: There is no one-size fits all adaptation. Nevertheless, there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost. Around the world, people are adapting in surprising ways, especially in some poor countries. Floods have bee more damaging in Banglades

42、h in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries, schools, and health clinics, and are equipped with solar panels and other municating facilities. Rezwan is creating floating con

43、nectivity連體 to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level: his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Norphel lives

44、 in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphels inspiration came from seeing the w

45、aste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves, Norphel calculates that he has stored about 200,

46、000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norphels ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.Increasing Earths reflectiveness can cool the planet. In

47、 southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This e*ample should act as an inspiration for

48、all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the lif

49、e-giving ice. The oute is still far from clear. But the World Bank has included the project on its of 100 ideas to save the planet.More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet fo

50、r cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like thiseither by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is mon sense. But some suggestions for adapting are not. Whe

51、n the polluting industries argue that weve lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, its a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensi

52、ble form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in that way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.65The underlined part in Paragraph 2 impliesAadaptation is an everchanging processBthe cost of adaptation varies with time
