"THIRTY-TWO HOURS AFTER Hattie and her mother and sisters crept through the Georgia woods to the train station, thirty-two hours on hard seats in the commotion of the Negro car, Hattie was startled from a light sleep by the train conductors bellow,"

"Broad Street Station, Philadelphia!" Hattie clambered from the train, her skirt still hemmed with Georgia mud, the dream of Philadelphia round as a marble in her mouth and the fear of it a needle in her chest. Hattie and Mama, Pearl and Marion climbed the steps from the train platform up into the main hall of the station. It was dim despite the midday sun. The domed roof arched. Pigeons cooed in the rafters. Hattie was only fifteen then, slim as a finger. She stood with her mother and sisters at the crowds edge, the four of them waiting for a break in the flow of people so they too might move toward the double doors at the far end of the station. Hattie stepped into the multitude. Mama called, "Come back! Youll be lost in all those people. Youll be lost!" Hattie looked back in panic; she thought her mother was right behind her. The crowd was too thick for her to turn back, and she was borne along on the current of people. She gained the double doors and was pushed out onto a long sidewalk that ran the length of the station.

How Cooperation Defeats Cheats

in the spring of 1879, Hermann Lau shot two white-winged choughs, Corcorax melanorhamphos,off their nest in Queensland, Australia. He watched as additional choughs continued to attend the nest, proving that a cooperative group shared parental care. Since then, cooperatively breeding birds have had a starring role in efforts to explain the evolution of complex animal societies. We now know that "helpers-at-the-nest" who forgo reproduction are often relatives of the breeding pair. Genetic payoff is, thus, one of several advantages that helpers can gain from their superficially altruistic behavior. On page 1506 of this issue, Feeney et al. show that collective defense against brood parasites (see the figure) can enhance such benefits of cooperation.

第四篇：最好的在截止日期前完成任务的方式就是立即开始 ，分析人们如何会产生立即着手去做的心态。

文章开篇引出一个谚语，如果有一些事要做。交给一个忙人去做。然后一个研究证明了这个谚语。忙人能更好的理解截止日。人们做事情分为四个阶段，怎么从计划转化到做是最关键的一步，执行模式最重要的是组织时间，现在时间是在人们脑海中最重要的，如果截止日是将来的时间，不是现在，就会被人们忽视，然后通过实验证明这些观点。

Future, imperfect and tense

IF YOU want something done, the saying goes, give it to a busy person. It is an odd way to guarantee hitting deadlines. But a paper recently published in the Journal of Consumer Research suggests it may, in fact, be trueas long as the busy person conceptualises the deadline in the right way.

Yanping Tu of the University of Chicago and Dilip Soman of the University of Toronto examined how individuals go about both thinking about and completing tasks. Previous studies have shown that such activity progresses through four distinct phases: pre-decision, post-decision (but pre-action), action and review. It is thought that what motivates the shift from the decision-making stages to the doing-something stage is a change in mindset.

第五篇：在月亮的一个dark spot 下面发现了Plumbing system ，和地球上的相似，科学家认为月球比之前认为的更dynamic 。月球上也有rifting ，之前认为没有，打破了之前的想法，还有很多值得探索的地方。月球新发现使得人们怀疑之前对于月球地貌形成的固有研究结果。

Ancient magma plumbing found buried below moon's largest dark spot

By Eric HandOct. 1, 2014 , 1:00 PM

Scientists have found a nearly square peg underneath a round holeon the moon. Several kilometers below Oceanus Procellarum, the largest dark spot on the moons near side, scientists have discovered a giant rectangle thought to be the remnants of a geological plumbing system that spilled lava across the moon about 3.5 billion years ago. The features are similar to rift valleys on Earthregions where the crust is cooling, contracting, and ripping apart. Their existence shows that the moon, early in its history, experienced tectonic and volcanic activity normally associated with much bigger planets.
