Fromthemomentthatananimalisbornithastomakedecisions.Ith...

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is, in fact, playing a  complicated and potentially dangerous game with its environment, discomfort or destruction.

 This is a difficult and unpleasant business and few animals would survive if they had to start from the beginning and learn about the world wholly by trial and error ,for there are too many possible decisions which would prove fatal we find ,in practice ,that the game is always arranged in favor of the young animal in one way or another er the animal is protected during the early stages of its learning about the world around it ,or the knowledge of which way to respond is built into its nervous system from the start.

   The fact that animals behave sensibly can be attributed partly to what we might call genetic learning ,to distinguish it from individual learning that an animal does in the cause of its own life tic learning is learning by a species as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to behave in the right way ver , genetic learning depends upon a prediction that the future will more or less exactly resemble the past more variable individual experience is likely to be , the less efficient is genetic learning as a means os getting over the problems of the survival game is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning the great majority of animals ,behavior is a compound of individual experience and genetic learning to behave in particular ways

25. The survival game is considered complicated and potentially very dangerous because________.

A decisions made by animals may prove fatal

B animals are often in danger of being attacked

als make decisions entirely by trial

D. environment is not fit for animals to survive

animals survive because they can make right decisions by __________________.

A. a series of trials and errors

B. knowledge obtained in their life time

nervous system

tic learning and individual experience

erning the relationship between genetic learning and individual experience ,which of the following is right ?

develop side by side

are contradictory , but individual experience is the dominant

tic learning is likely to function more if individual experience doesn’t vary much

D. Genetic learning is more efficient than individual experience

28“Genetic learning”refers to ________________.

ning after an animal is born

B. learning obtained by some members of each generation who happen to behave properly

ning gained by all the members in a species

D learning gained by young animals from their experience

29 What cannot be inferred from the article ?

A The majority of animals depend thoroughly upon genetic learning

B Animal behave in particular ways as a result of both individual experience and genetic learning

C If animal depended wholly upon individual experience ,its chance of survival would be little

D. Genetic learning depends on the assumption of resemblance between the future and the past .
