Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, Sqzeirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. 【1】They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃)trees【2】 The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places.【3】 So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring.Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.

【4】But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade(涌入)Indiana.【5】

B. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.

p>C. Red squirrels bury nuts in a different way.

D. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.

Not all children want to listen to their parents. However, parents have been around for at least two decades or so longer than their kids. 【1】 Here are four ways in which they might be right.

2 People should want to grow and change with time in a good way. People who hang around with those who are not as smart as they are will stagnate (停滞). So try to surround yourself with people who are worth learning from.

The more you learn, the less you really know. People tend to believe that they are right about everything before they’ve really learned anything about the world. 3 This is largely due to contrast: people will realize how ignorant (无知) they were in the past after they’ve learned certain things, making them realize how much they’ve left to learn.

Growing up too fast is truly bad. 4 However, these are the years when you are going to be more protected from the cruel realities of adulthood. You should try to appreciate this aspect of this life stage without being concerned with pushing your development too hard.

It is better to try and fail than fail to try. Children have to learn that failure is part of life. 5 However, the sting (刺痛) of failure disappears gradually, and the regret about missed opportunities is going to sting far more for many adults. So don’t stop going for certain goals because of a fear of failure.

A. Parents are wiser than you think.

B. It’s hard enough for adults to accept.

C. Being around people who don’t challenge you is a bad idea.

D. Your childhood years may not be the best years of your life.

E. They have some life experience, and it makes sense to listen to them.

F. People who bring out the best in others will reach their personal best.

G. By the time they have, they’ll realize how complicated (复杂) the world can be.
