【推荐2】Thieving Monkeys — Name Your Price

Human beings are not the only species able to negotiate a deal.

If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be careful. The long-tailed macaques (猕猴) there are well-known thieves. They make a living by   _________ visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a payment in the form of food is paid. That is quite clever. But professor Jean-Baptiste Leca wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first _________ and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether macaques are able to _________ how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.

Professor Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a _________ tourist, they recorded the interaction. Not all attempts at robbery were successful. But of those that were, they analysed the _________ of almost 2,200.

To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the _________ values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. The temple staff keep three sorts of reward available for use in negotiations _________ tourists who want to get their property back: raw eggs, biscuits and small bags of fruit. Different monkeys have different _________, but professor Leca established these for _________ animals by offering them choices between pairs of treats in an initial experiment.

To confirm which stealable objects are most __________ by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and camera bags; accessories such as key rings; hats and headgear; shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed, from the video recordings, how often victims __________ to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and __________ classified objects into low value (the first two classes on the list), medium value (the second two) and high value (the third two).

They found that monkeys do have a good sense of what they are doing — __________, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young ones make no such __________, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.

In monkeys, as in people, guile(狡猾)is not a trick that is inborn. It has to be __________.

1.
A.warningB.robbingC.remindingD.clearing
2.
A.depositB.dishC.offerD.prey
