18、y cost.BCalifornia condors shocking recoveryCalifornia condors are North Americas largest birds, with winglength of up to 3 metres. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big bir
19、ds. In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild to be bred(繁殖). Since 1992, there have been multiple reintroductions to the wild, and there are now more than 150 flying over California and nearby Arizona, Utah - 6 -and Baja in Mexico. Electrical lines have been killing them off.
20、 “As they go in to rest for the night, they just dont see the power lines, ” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(电死) if they touch two lines at once. So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large
21、 training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of setfree birds died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%. Lead poisoning has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors ea
22、t dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead. This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney failure and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium E
23、DTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011. Rideouts team thinks that the California condors average survival time in the wild is now just under eight years
24、. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now， ” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”24. Researchers have found electrical lines are _. A. blocking condors journey home B. big killers of California condorsC. rest

28、ldhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more
29、productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society， ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”V
30、aillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mentalhealth scores with their boyhoodactivity scores. Points were awarded for parttime jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with p
31、roblems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five - 8 -times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likel
32、y to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Workingat any ageis important.
