It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the least important positions．21 of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility placed upon them at the very  22  of their career．They were  23 to the broom(扫帚), spending the first hours of their business lives   24 the office．

And here is the basic  25 of success, the great secret:  26  your energy, thought, and capital (资本) wholly on the business in which you are  27 ．Having begun in one line, determine to fight it out on that  28 , to lead in it, adopt every  29  , have the best machinery, and know the most about it．

The companies which fail are those which have 30 their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains  31  ．They have investments in this, or that, or  32 , here, there, and everywhere．“Don't put all your eggs in one basket” is all  33 , I tell you．“Put all your eggs in one basket, and then  34  that basket”．Look round you and take  35 ; men who do that do not often fail．It is easy to watch and carry the one basket．It is trying to carry too many baskets  36 breaks most eggs in this country．He who  37  three baskets must put one on his  38  , which is likely to fall down．One  39 of the American businessman is lack of concentration．

The Vienna-based researchers showed that dogs will stop doing a simple task when not rewarded if another dog, which continues to be rewarded, is present．

The experiment consisted of taking pairs of dogs and getting them to present a paw for a reward．On giving this “handshake” the dogs received a piece of food．One of the dogs was then asked to shake hands, but received no food．The other dog continued to get the food when it was asked to perform the task．

The dog without the reward quickly stopped doing the task, and showed signs of anger or stress when its partner was rewarded．

To make sure that the experiment was really showing the interaction between the dogs rather than just the frustration of not being rewarded, a similar experiment was conducted where the dogs performed the task without the partner．Here they continued to present the paw for much longer．

Dr Frederike Range from the University of Vienna says this shows that it was the presence of the rewarded partner that was the greater influence on their behaviour．

“The only difference is one gets food and the other doesn’t, they are responding to being unequally rewarded．” she said．

The researchers say this kind of behaviour, where one animal gets frustrated with what is happening with another, has only been observed in primates(灵长类) before．

Studies with various types of monkeys and chimpanzees show they react not only to seeing their partners receiving rewards when they are not, but also to the type of reward．

The dog study also looked at whether the type of reward made a difference．Dogs were given either bread or sausage, but seemed to react equally to either．Dr Range says this may be because they have been trained．

57．The dogs refused to give the paw when they_______．

A．found another dog was given nothing

B．felt they were not treated equally

C．were aware they received less food

D．were given too much reward

58．What would the dogs do if they presented their paw alone?

A．They would go on with the performance much longer．

B．They would be too shy to present their paw．

C．They would miss their partners．

D．They would compare what they got with that of others．

59．According to the passage, compared with dogs, monkeys and chimpanzees ______．

A．pay no attention to the type of reward

B．only like to play interesting games

C．pay attention to the type of reward as well as whether they are rewarded

D．care more about how they are rewarded

60．Which of the following can best summerise the passage?

A．Animals’ various ways to show anger

B．Dogs are more envious than man

C．Most animals want to be be rewarded for their work

D．Animals also have a sense of fairplay
