10、But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task wi

15、lts are much more cooperative if they work in a system based on rewards. Researchers at Harvard University in the United States and the Stockholm School of Economics in Sweden did the study.They had about two hundred college students play a version of the game known as the Prisoners Dilemma. The gam
16、e is based on the tension (紧张气氛) between the interests (利益) of an individual and a group. The students played in groups of four. Each player could win points for the group, so they would all gain equally. But each player could also reward or punish each of the other three players, at a cost to the p

The groups that rewarded it the most earned about twice as much in the game as the groups that rewarded it the least. And the more a group punished itself, the lower its earnings were.

In the older group, the difference was almost three points.Murray Strauss from the University of New H
21、ampshire worked with Mallie Paschall from the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation. Professor Strauss has written extensively about physical punishment of children.

26、l. Another big advantage is that they are cool, like something you would see in an action film. At the moment, however, the flying cars wheels are illegal to leave the ground.

The majority potential customers are older and some are retired. There have even been orders from some people who ha

29、in the near future, but in the long term it has the potential to change the way you travel. It will become no more expensive than driving your car on the motorway.
