Food storing is common in members of the crow(
乌鸦
) family.A new study tested the birds
outside this naturally occurring behaviour
，
which may have evolved(
进化
)specifically because it
gives crows a survival crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover
the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it
at
their
food
after
a
gap
of 17
hours
—
something
we
wouldn
’
t
expect
them
to
do

they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.
In another experiment
，
the researchers taught crows to select a token(
代币
) from a number of
items so that they could then exchange for
，
the birds then showed that they could plan
for the future using this new is different from all of the previous studies in future
planning
，
which
have
focused
on
naturally
occurring

example
，
we
know
that
chimpanzees select
，
transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.
These
studies
have
shown
that
animals
can
plan
for
the
future
—
but
they
left
an
important
question open for animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give
them a specific advantage
，
or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across
various
actions
？
Most
critics
would
say
the
former
，
as
the
animals
were
tested
in
naturally
occurring behaviours.
But the new research provides the first evidence that animal
species can plan for the future
using behaviour that doesn
’
t typically occur in supports the view that at least some
recognitive
abilities
in
animals
don
’
t
evolve
just
in
response
to
specific
d
，
it
suggests
that
animals
can
apply
these
behaviours
flexibly
across
problems
in
a
similar
way
to
need to investigate how flexible behaviour we might be able to see how
crows
’
ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.

The snow is gone and green grass can be seen growing close to the sunny side of
birds in the backyard are singing in the is here
，
and with

5


come memories of the
smell of


6

，
new sneakers
，
and longer days.
As a kid
，
I knew spring arrived when I walked into the house after school and

7



first warm day would cause my mum to have the idea of


8
.She opened the windows
，
let the
fresh air in
，
opened a can of paint
，
and put a fresh


9

on the walls of a room.
Spring was also the time to change

10

.In Nova Scotia
，
we had snow on the ground almost


11


from
late
December
until
late

spent
all
of
our
time
outside
wearing
our


12


winter run in them was like running with two weighty bags.
In late April or early May
，
mum would take us to the town to buy a new pair of light

13


for
each
of
us.I
still
remember
the
rubber


14

，
with
the
trademark
imprinted
on

a
month or two
，
small hands would tear it off
，
and leave a circle
，
darker than the


15


material
around it.
Later
，
when we returned home
，
my brothers and I

16


our new door shut


17


behind us when we rushed out
，
causing a shout of


18


from our we ran across
the weight of the heavy winter boots was


19

.It felt like we were


20


through
the air or we could jump thirty feet like a thoughts of summer
’
s approach and the


21


wind of spring rushing past our uncovered ears were


22

.
When
life
gets
me
down
and
when
everything
seems

23

，
I
don

t
let
it


24


me.I
would let my room put on a new coat of paint
，
pull on a new pair of sneakers
，
and just run like it
was spring.
