Lts f peple have never seen snakes, but they are afraid f them. 56
T find ut the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, flwers and many ther things in frnt f peple f all ages, even babies. Peple fund snakes faster than flwers. It wasn’t just snakes. They fund “black faces”, like spiders （蜘蛛）, faster than “safe” things like flwers. It seems we find things that might be dangerus t us faster. 57
Why d peple fear snakes? 58 Hwever, they said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the seared vice and faces f thse wh met snakes. After all （毕竟）, if we are bitten by a snake, and then we knw it’s dangerus. That’s t late.
S why is it imprtant whether we are afraid f snakes r nt? 59 Peple prtect animals they like, nt animals they fear. Snakes may nt be as cute as pandas, but they’re just f the same imprtance t the envirnment. They eat insects and mice. S when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance.
