What do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are feeling sad or depressed ? You probably pat them on the back or shoulder , or maybe you give them a big , warm hug .

We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have . But scientists have discovered that apes（猩猩）have this ability , too , according to a study published in the Journal of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences .

Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta , US , went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos（倭黑猩猩）, which are closely related to humans .

The researchers analyzed the bonobos’ reactions after more than 370 cases of stressful situations , such as fights and losing temper , and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked , just like humans would have done .

However , researchers noted hat not all bonobos were capable of comforting others . In the protection centre , many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters . They were found to be more anxious in times of tension and to have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions , making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need .

“ Orphans , who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions , are much worse at comforting others , ” Professor Frans de Waal , one of the researchers , told The Telegraph . “ Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly . Therefore , they pay more attention to others . ”

This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react . Those who seem more capable of handling their own emotions – for example , the ones who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences – are usually better at expressing their concerns for others .[:]

24. The 4th paragraph is mainly developed by __________ .

A. making comparisons B. following time order

C. giving examples D. presenting causes and effects

25. The underlined word “ curb ” in the 5th paragraph probably means “__________ ” .

A. express B. observe C. hide D. control

26. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?

A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friend.

B. There were 370 bonobos involved in the research .

C. Moms play a significant role in handling kids’ emotions .

D. The ability to comfort others is unique to human beings .

27. What’s the main purpose of this passage ?

A. To provide better protection for Apes. B. To inform readers of a new study .

C. To uncover the mystery of Apes. D. To compare human behaviors with Apes’ .

I don’t ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.

At 19, when I began studying astrophysics, it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement—jobs, research papers, awards—was viewed through the lens of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.

Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations(刺激): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to
