【明報專訊】老鼠也有惻隱之心。芝加哥大學腦神經研究員周四發表研究報告，表示老鼠在同伴被困時，會抵受朱古力粒的引誘，以救同伴為先。
研究人員指出，猿猴也有同情心，但從未有人證明鼠類是否也有同情心，「這是第一項顯示老鼠具同情心的證據」。
寧棄朱古力救同伴
研究員把30隻老鼠分成15對，每對老鼠同籠飼養兩周。牠們隨後被放在新籠中，其中一隻老鼠被綑綁，另一隻則可在籠中自由行動。研究員發現，「自由」的老鼠聽到並看到被困同伴的苦况，表現得一點也不好受，會努力幫助同伴解脫束縛，大部分老鼠最終花3到7天為同伴鬆綁。
當研究員用玩具老鼠代替被困老鼠時，真鼠並不會為其鬆綁。研究員再改變實驗模式，令被困老鼠鬆綁後不能與其同伴共處一籠，但「自由」老鼠仍義不容辭，努力為同伴鬆綁。研究員巴爾塔爾（Inbal Ben-Ami Bartal）表示，這顯示老鼠並非為有鼠相伴而救同伴，而是為了停止被困老鼠的苦痛。
在最後一個實驗中，研究員把老鼠喜愛的朱古力粒和被困老鼠同伴一起放在籠中，雖然有幾隻「自由」老鼠忍不住先吃小量朱古力，但所有老鼠們都會協助同伴解困，並與牠們分享朱古力。
研究員：人沒同情心違本性
研究員梅森（Peggy Mason）表示，這項研究為人類上了重要一課，「沒有同情心的人違背了我們的生理特性，如果我們能依從本性行事，將過得更好。」
Have deactivated my facebook account. Will reactivate it after my exam week.
Last night JM and dawn came to my room, no particular reason but just that they had finished they first term. Was shocked when JM suddenly spoke out my secret. Well, maybe I should have hidden it better, but actually do I really want to hide it and do I really need to hide it? Anyway, they are the first people I knew and got close to in London, I will like them forever.
I thought I have found the right one. I thought it was you. You could make me feel secured and I want to spend my time with you.
But it is impossible. You have already told me the answer.
I can't stop thinking of you and I can't concentrate on doing my work. I don't want to let it destroy my exam again, like what I did exactly one year ago.
So please let me isolate myself for a period of time.
And then we will be best friends forever.
Stay strong. | | |
| August has almost come to its end.
I am not sure about what I have done in this summer.
The most memorable thing is, perhaps, having got to know someone.
The most memorable thing in every summer is having got to know someone.
And it just lasts for a summer.
People don't know that I am worried about my future. | | |
| It was 30/7/2011.
The day of the Ching Cheong Show.
The day Bethia showed her angriest mode.
The day we had a gathering dinner with two different Ching Cheong groups of different ages together.
The day Marissa, Iris, Crist and I went to Central One for a chat after gathering dinner.
The day I felt truly happy and complete after the end of the Love Me Love My Pet Pet Ching Cheong show two years ago.
The day we finally invited Bella to perform.
The day I took photos with them.
The day which made me reconsider what I really like and want to do in my future.
The day that recalled all the difficulties we met and our memories.
The day that showed Luck.
Good night. | | |
| Well, finally I really got the scholarship to the U.K.
And I started my contact with Tracy again.
And I am working and helping with the Ching Cheong team this year in which that Crist, who shouted "Im Pek Kei 學姐" in front of the YW Open Day Math Stall, is the vice leader. She reminds me of that Teng, when was the vice leader in my Flying Eagle Team. Short Hair, straight forward, smart, sometimes cheerful, sweet, strong in character but weak in body.
Prepare for my Uni Life.
Watched two movies made by the same director. Love Sheetal Sheth and Lisa Ray. | | |
| 28/6 - 2/7, Japan trip with family. Travelled around Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe. Lovely.
5/7 - 7/7, GuongZhou trip with X'ine, Steve, Kam, Leti, Gum and Yukichi. Had a wonderful short trip in Mr. Hui's house in Clifford. Was really happy to be with them, and to see Gum again.
8/7, was woken up by my excited mother with the good news from the special scholarship. I won. In the afternoon, received an e-mail from CUHK that I had been offered scholarship too. Double good news came on the same day, which was also Gum's b-day. Just think my Cairns mates are my Lucky Stars. At night went out for Ruby Jai's farewell.
Thank you for everything. | | |
