18、thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She

19、 was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.2 Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966. In 1969, the Gardners described Washoes progress in a scie

20、ntific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, “Who is coming to play?“ Once the news about Wash

21、oe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.3 However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed tr

22、ue language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoes keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington.

23、There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.4 Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believes Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Pa

24、rt of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.5 Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure-Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.A Reason Why Not Many Scientists Carry out This Research Nowa

28、hnology Transfer in GermanyWhen it comes to translating basic research into industrial Success, few nations can match Germany. Since the 1940s, the nations vast industrial base has been fed with a constant stream of new ideas and expertise from science. And though German prosperity has faltered over

29、 the past decade because of the huge cost of unifying east and west as well as the global economic decline, it still has an enviable record for turning ideas into profit.Much of the reason for at success is the Fraunhofer Society, a network of research institutes that exists solely to solve industri

30、al problems and create sought after technologies. But today the Fraunhofer institutes have competition. Universities are taking an ever larger role in technology transfer, and technology parks are springing up all over. These efforts are being complemented by the federal programs for pumping money i

31、nto start-up companies.Such a strategy may sound like a recipe for economic success, but it is not without its critics. These people worry that favoring applied research will mean neglecting basic science, eventually starving industry of fresh ideas. If every scientist starts thinking like an entrep

32、reneur, the argument goes, then the traditional principles of university research being curiosity, driven, free and widely available will suffer. Others claim that many of the programs to promote technology transfer are a waste of money because half the small businesses that are promoted are bound t

33、o go bankrupt within a few years.While this debate continues, new ideas flow at a steady rate from Germanys research networks, which bear famous names such as Helmholtz, Max Planck and Leibniz. Yet it is the fourth network, the Fraunhofer Society, that plays the greatest role in technology transfer.

34、Founded in 1949, the Fraunhofer Society is now Europes largest organization for applied technology, and has 59 institutes employing 12,000 people. It continues to grow. Last year, it swallowed up the Heinrich Hertz Institute for Communication Technology in Berlin. Today, there are even Fraunhofers i

Ice skatings governing body announced the new

38、 rules last week after concerns that a judge at the Winter Olympics may have been unfairly influenced.Initially the judges in the pairs figure-skating event at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City voted 5 to 4 to give the gold medal to a Russian pair, even though they had a fall during their routin

39、e. But the International Skating Union suspended the French judge for failing to reveal that she had been put under pressure to Vote for the Russians. The International Olympics Committee then decided to give a second gold to the Canadian runners-up (亚军).The ISU, skatings governing body, now says it

40、 intends to change the rules. In future 14 judges will judge each event, but only 7 of their scores, selected at random, will count, the ISU wont finally approve the new system until it meets in June hut already UK Sport, the British Governments sports body has expressed reservations. “I remain to b

41、e convinced that the random selection system would offer the guarantees that everyone concerned with ethical sport is looking for“, says Jerry Bingham, UK Sports head of ethics.A random system can still be manipulated, says Mark Dixon, a specialist on sports statistics from the Royal Statistical Soc

42、iety in London. “The score of one or two judges who have been bribed may still be in the seven selected.“Many other sports that have judges, including diving, gymnastics, and synchronized swimming have a system that discards the highest and lowest scores. If a judge was under pressure to favor a par

43、ticular team, they would tend to give it very high scores and mark down the opposition team, so their scores wouldnt count. It works for diving, says Jeff Cook, a member of the international government bodys technical committee. “If you remove those at the top and bottom youre left with those in the

44、 middle, youre getting a reasonable average.“Since the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, diving has tightened up in its system still further. Two separate panels of judges score different rounds of diving during top competitions. Neither panel knows the scores given by the other, “We have done this to head o

45、ff any suggestion of bias.“ says Cook.Bingham urged the ISU to consider other options. “This should involve examining the way in which other sports deal with the problem of adjudicating (裁定) on matter of style and presentation,“ he says.（分数：15.00）(1).Who won the gold medal in the pairs figure-skatin
