14．The more scientists study pigeons，the more they learn how their brains operate in ways not so different from our own．
In a new study，researchers found that pigeons can categorize and name both natural and man-made objects-and not just a few objects．These birds categorized 128 photographs into 16categories．
Ed Wasserman，an author of the study，says the finding suggests a similarity between how pigeons learn the equivalent of words and the way children do．
In an experiment the researchers used a computerized version of the"name game"where three pigeons were shown 128 black-and-white photos of objects from 16 basic categories：baby，bottle，cake，car，cracker，dog，duck，fish，flower，hat，key，pen，phone，plane，shoe，tree．They then had to peck（啄） on one of two different symbols：the correct one for that photo and an incorrect one that was randomly chosen from one of the remaining 15 categories．The pigeons not only succeeded in learning the task，but they reliably transferred the learning to four new photos from each of the 16 categories．
Pigeons have long been known to be smarter than average birds．They have a"homing instinct（返巢本能）"that helps them find their way home，even when blindfolded（蒙住眼睛）．They have better eyesight than humans and have been trained to spot orange life jackets of people lost at sea．They carried messages for the U．S．Army during the two world wars．
McMurray，another author of the study，says"Our testing methods can be used with any type of animal that can interact with a computer screen．"
He also says，"Contrary to people's belief，the research shows the methods with which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species．"
Wasserman acknowledges though this study is not a direct equivalent of word learning in children，the model used in the study could lead to a better understanding of children's word learning．

13．A family had had a cat for years----a much loved pet who also loved them．Then，one day，the children finally managed to persuade their parents to get them a puppy as well．And so a cute little Labrador made his entrance．
Everyone loved the puppy．However，the cat made it very clear she did not appreciate another pet in the house．She hissed（发出嘶嘶声）and tried to scratch the little puppy---but the puppy just loved the cat anyway．He followed her everywhere，trying to play with her．What a sight it was-the little dog trying to make friends with the angry cat．No amount of bad behavior from the cat could persuade the puppy not to love the cat．The family figured the cat would never like the dog．
A few weeks passed．Then one day they heard horrible screaming from their back yard．They ran to the window to see what was happening．It took a while for them to believe their eyes．A lynx（猞猁）was on their back yard and it was just planning on grabbing their cat for lunch．The poor cat had no chance-it was screaming but had nowhere to run or hide．It would only be a matter of seconds and their cat would be dead．
And then the unimaginable happened．Out of nowhere a black lighting ran to the rescue．The little Labrador was only half grown but it attacked the lynx with all its might．It was barking on top of its lungs，ready to bite the other to bits．The lynx decided it was time to go and disappeared into the woods．

12．Sharon Tal，a graduate of Engineering and Design in Israel，began her career in Paris and moved her way up to head designer in London．But the 33-year-old designer felt a strong desire to return to her native Israel．
Back at home，she began to think about the famous fashion house Maskit，founded in 1953 by Ruth Dayan，a legend in Israel's design world．The brand had everything Tal stood for as a designer．But there was one problem：Maskit had been closed for more than 20 years．
Maskit was founded by Dayan when she visited artists and craftsmen skilled in decorative arts．They were living in small Israeli towns，and she wanted to help them earn a living wage．
From 1960 to 1980，the Maskit Fashion House created more than 2，000 jobs for such craftsmen and ran 10stores in Israel and one in New York．But by 1994 the industry had changed，and the company shut down．Dayan moved on to focus her time on social causes．
Tal contacted Dayan，and the two arranged a meeting．The rest，as they say，is history．The meeting led to a cooperation to bring back the Maskit brand to life two decades after it closed．
Tal said she wanted to create something that would be hers，but also make a bigger impact．"Our vision is to become a leading international fashion house inspired from Israel，"Tal said．
Reviving such a fashion brand would take time and careful preparations．Tal and Dayan spent a year getting in touch with former employees and collecting Maskit items．
Their hard work has paid off．Tal won the Most Promising Designer award from the Israel Fashion Industry Awards．
Talking of Ruth，Tal Says，"Ruth is an amazing and inspiring person．She has been guiding me through the whole way and she's been an active partner through the inspirational process．"
