Pet parrts that are allwed t make vide calls t ther birds shw signs f feeling less islated, accrding t scientists.
The study, which invlved giving the birds a cmputer that they culd use t make vide calls, fund that they began t engage in mre scial behavirs including preening, singing and playing. The birds were given a chice f which “friend” t call n a tuchscreen cmputer and the study shwed that the parrts that called ther birds mst ften were the mst ppular chices.
Ilyena Hirskyj-Duglas, f the University f Glasgw and a c-authr f the study, said that vide calls had helped many peple feel less islated in the last few years. She added, “There are 20 millin parrts living in peple’s hmes in the USA, and we wanted t explre whether thse birds might benefit (受益) frm vide calling t. If we gave them the chance t call ther parrts, wuld they chse t d s, and wuld the experience benefit the parrts and their caregivers?”
Their study f 18 pet parrts suggested that there were, indeed, benefits fr the birds. In the wild, many species f parrts live in large grups, but as pets they are, kept alne r in a small grup. Living alne can cause birds, t develp mental prblems, which include rcking, walking back and frth, r self-harming behavirs such as feather-plucking.
The parrts first learned t ring a bell and then tuch a pht f anther bird n the screen f a cmputer t make a call t that bird, with the help f their wners. In ttal the birds made 147 calls t each ther during the study, while wners tk detailed ntes n the birds’ behavir and the researchers later reviewed the vide ftage.
Jennifer Cunha f Nrtheastern University said that the parrts “seemed t knw” that they were cmmunicating with ther birds. “All the bird wners in the study said they valued the experience, and wuld want t cntinue using the system with their parrts in the future,” she said.
“I was quite surprised at s many different behavirs,” said Hirskyj-Duglas. “Sme wuld sing, sme wuld play arund and g upside dwn, thers wuld want t shw anther bird their tys.”

Yu are given many chances in life t chse t be a victim(受害者) r creatr. When yu chse t be a victim, the wrld is a cld and difficult place. “They” did things t yu which caused all f yur pain and suffering. “They” are wrng and bad, and life is terrible as lng as “they” are arund. Or yu may blame yurself fr all yur prblems, then internalizing(内化)yur victimizatin. The truth is, yur life is likely t stay that way as lng as yu feel a need t blame yurself r thers.
Thse wh chse t be creatrs lk at life quite differently. They knw there are persns wh might like t cntrl their lives, but they dn’t let this get in the way. They knw they have their weaknesses, yet they dn’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have chice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)mment f life is a gift and that strms are a natural part f life which can bring the rain needed fr emtinal and spiritual grwth.
Victims and creatrs live in the same physical wrld and deal with many f the same prblems, yet their experience f life is different wrlds. Victims are easy t be in anger, guilt, and ther emtins that cause thers--and even themselves--t feel like victims, t. Creatrs chse lve, inspiratin, and ther qualities which inspire（鼓舞）nt nly themselves, but all arund them. Bth victims and creatrs always have chice t decide the directin f their lives.
In fact, all f us play the victim r the creatr at different pints in ur lives. One persn, n lsing a jb r a special relatinship, may feel as if it is the end f the wrld and g int terrible suffering fr mnths, years, r even a lifetime. Anther with the same experience may chse t first experience the sadness, then accept the lss and sn mve n t be a pwerful creative strength in his life.
In every mment and every situatin, yu can chse t have fuller, richer life by setting a clear gal t change the victim within, and by inviting int yur life the pwerful creatr that yu are.
38．What des the wrd “they” in Paragraph 1 prbably refer t?
A．Peple and things arund yu.B．Chances and prblems.
C．Creatrs and their chices.D．Victims and their sufferings.
39．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Creatrs have the ability t predict future life.
B．Creatrs deal with ups and dwns f life wisely.
C．Victims can influence mre peple than creatrs.

B．peple need family supprt t deal with sufferings in life.
C．it takes creatrs quite a lng time t clear ut their pains.
