That changed in
December 2017, when Kieron’s adoptive parents gave

Christmas gift. When his results

“She was very emotional

Vincent says.
Now the
brothers had the chance to make up for lost time.
They decided to meet at a local tea
shop that week. One of Vincent’s
concerns was that Kieron

says Vincent. That
shouldn’t be hard. As Kieron says, “We’ve got
years and years to catch up on.”

Why
Humpback Whales
(
座头鲸
) Protect Other Species
from Killer Whales
Robert Pitman, a
marine ecologist, describes an encounter he
witnessed in Antarctica in 2009.
A
group
of
killer
whales
were
attacking
a Weddell
seal.
The
seal
swam
31
toward
a
pair of
humpbacks
that
had
inserted
themselves
into
the
action.
One
of
the
humpbacks
rolled
over
on
its
back,
and
the
seal
was
32
onto
its
chest,
betw
een
the
whale’s
massive
flippers
(
鳍
).
“That
incident
33
me,” he says. “Those humpbacks were
doing something we couldn’t explain.”
Pitman started asking other researchers
and whale watchers to send him similar
34
.
Soon
he
was
reading
through
observations
of
115
encounters
between
humpbacks
and
killer
whales,
recorded
over
62
years.
“There
are
some
pretty
astonishing
videos
of
humpbacks
35
killer
whales,” he
says.
In
a
2016
article
in
Marine
Mammal
Science
,
a
famous
scientific
journal,
Pitman
and
his
co-
authors
describe
this
behaviour
and
confirm
that
such
acts
of
do-
gooding
are
widespread.
But
knowing that something
is happening and understanding why it’s happening
are two different things.

Pitman and his co-authors openly
reflected on the meaning of these
encounters
. “Why,” they
wrote,
“would humpbacks
36
interfere with attacking
killer whales, spending time and energy on a
potentially
37
activity,
especially
when
the
killer
whales…
were
attacking
other
species
of
prey?”
Interestingly,
humpbacks
don’t
just
h
it
on
killer-whale
attacks.
They
race
toward
them
like
firefighters into burning buildings.
And like those rescue
workers,
humpbacks don’t
know who is in
danger until they get there.
That’s because the sound that
38
them to an attack isn’t the
sad
voice of the victim.
It’s the excited calls of the killer whales.
Pitman believes humpbacks have one
simple instruction: “When you hear
kille
r whales attacki
ng, go
break it up.”
I wonder what
humpback whales care deeply enough about to
actively swim
into battle with
killer whales. When I ask Pitman, he
tells me that, it still comes down to selfishly
39
their own
kind.
He believes that their occasional rescues of
humpback
calves
(
后代
) create a strong enough
40
for them to rush in to
help, even if it means they end up saving sunfish,
sea lions, dolphins
every now and then.
III. Reading
Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the
following passage there are four words or phrases
marked A, B, C
and D. Fill in each
blank with the word or phrase that best fits the
context.
The true purpose
of a business, Peter Druc
ker said, is
to create and keep customers. “Customer
value”
has
several
definitio
ns.
I
use
the
41
to
mean
the
total
lifetime
value
of
a
company’s
customer
base.
Companies
can
increase
this
value
by
42
more
customers,
earning
more
business from existing ones, keeping
them longer, making their experience simpler
through digital
improvements and so on.
43
leaders have long
understood the importance of concentrating on
customer
value
rather
than
pursuing
short-term
profits
or
quarterly
earnin
gs,
and
they’ve
become
enduring customer loyalty leaders in
the process. It’s worth noti
ng that a
number of loyalty-leading
companies
are
able
to
44
shareholder
pressure,
or
avoid
it
altogether,
because
they
are
founder-
led, customer-owned, or not publicly traded.
Companies can
45
customer value in a variety of ways: To
increase
46
, enterprise
software companies sometimes charge
corporate customers change fees that can raise the
total cost
of
ownership
to
as
much
as
three
times
the
original
price.
To
reduce
operating
costs,
restaurant
chains
sometimes
47
frozen
and
precooked
ingredients
in
place
of
fresh
and
made-
to-order
food. The resulting profits
may look good on the income statement. Such
strategies may even lead to
short-term
earnings growth. But they also
48
potential customers and encourage
disloyalty.
Given the importance of
customer value, leaders should track it as much as
they track other key
assets
(
资产
), such as buildings,
machinery, and marketable securities. They also
should reveal it in
their
quarterly
and
annual
earnings
releases
so
that
investors
can
make
49
judgments
about
company performance and how it compares
with that of industry peers. But most companies
50
believe
that
measuring
customer
value
is
too
difficult
or
costly.
They
continue
to
rely
on
a

centuries-old accounting tradition that
emphasizes physical and financial assets, and
neither income
statements nor balance
sheets offer much
51
into the value of a company’s
c
ustomers.
As
investors
wake
up
to
the
importance
of
customer
value,
however,
many
growth-stage
companies now direct
investo
rs’ attention to
52
in growing the value of their customer
base.
Some public companies
increasingly report various types of customer
value
metrics
(
指标
). One of
the UK’s top energy suppliers ,
53
, reports year-over-year customer
counts in its financial
report.
“As
a
customer
-
focused
company,”
noted,
“we
see
customer
value
as
crucial
to
our
success.”
This
is
a
start,
but
because
there
are
no
customer-value
reporting
standards
or
requirements,
investors still have a(n)
54
picture. The minority of companies that
do provide customer value
information
decide for themselves what to disclose.
55
, firms may calculate customer metrics
differently or change them to tell a
desired story, or simply stop reporting them if
they fail to go with
the
company’s preferred narrative.

confusion. A smile
indicates happiness.
Or do
they? An analysis of hundreds of research papers

suggest that there are such things as recognizable
facial expressions for basic
