At fifteen，I bought myself a computer and took it apart.Those were the days when you could take the top off and，with the help of books，know what each of the parts did.Playing with that computer taught me that you learn almost everything by doing. My early curiosity about computers helped lead me to the job I have today， which I love.So whenever I see kids becoming passionate about an interest，I try to encourage them. It’s good to be curious.I also think it’s good to try new ways of doing things. At one of my first jobs，I learned this lesson through experience.I was sixteen， and I got a job with the Houston Post，selling newspapers over the telephone.My coworkers and I would call people and say，“Hey，would you like to buy the Houston Post？” During my first few weeks，I learned that most people who wanted to buy the newspaper were either moving or getting married.So I thought，“Well，how can I get the names of all these people who are moving or getting married？” I did some research and found out that a lot of that information is legally available to anyone.Once I learned how to get those names and addresses，I sent out offers to buy the newspaper.My experiment was a success！Within my first month on 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 3 the job，I became the top salesperson. It was simply a matter of finding an opportunity and trying a new way of doing something.

In a new study，scientists say dolphins have shown an ability to discriminate former tank mates’ sounds from others’ even after being apart from them for more than 20 years. The study，done by researchers at the University of Chicago，shows that dolphins have the longest social memory ever recorded for nonhumans.According to the study， dolphins’ skills in recognizing the sounds may be better than humans’ facial recognition skills because human faces change over time. “This shows us an animal ability at a level that’s very consistent with human social memory，” said Jason Bruck，an expert who led the study. Bruck collected data from 53 dolphins.He compared the dolphins’ reactions to sounds of former tank mates with those of dolphins that were not familiar with each other.His initial studies showed that “dolphins get bored quickly listening to sounds from dolphins they don’t know.” “When they hear a dolphin they know，they often quickly approach the speaker playing the recording，”Bruck said.“At times they will whistle (吹口哨) at it and try to get it to whistle back.” Bruck said dolphins even responded to calls they had not heard in decades. In one example，Bruck played a recording of a female dolphin named Allie，who currently lives at the Brookfield Zoo，for Bailey，a female now in Bermuda. The pair had last lived together at Dolphin Connection in the Florida Keys when Allie was two years old and Bailey was four.But 20 years and six months after their 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 5 last contact，Bailey still recognized the recording of Allie’s sounds. “The abilities of dolphins are really welldeveloped，”Bruck said.“But why do they need this kind of memory？I’m not sure.So we should work hard to find out.” 语篇解读 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了对海豚记忆力的一项研究。 5．The underlined word “discriminate” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
