Many people think sheep aren’t very intelligent creatures. But in fact, (19) to new research, they may be cleverer than we think. For example, sheep can actually be trained to recognise human faces from photographs!
Recognising faces is an important human social (20) . However, it seems that sheep are also social animals that can recognise other sheep as well as (21) humans. In experiments, researchers trained eight sheep to recognise the faces of celebrities from photographs. Training involved getting the sheep to (22) decisions about the photos they saw. At one end of a room, they would see two different photographs, and would receive a (23) of food for approaching the photograph of the celebrity; if they approached the wrong photograph, they got nothing. Over time, they learned to (24) getting food with the celebrity’s photograph. And after training, the sheep correctly chose the celebrity’s face eight times out of ten!

Package Holidays

Package holidays, covering a two weeks’ stay in an attractive location, are increasingly popular because they offer an inclusive price with few extras. Once you get to the airport, it is up to the tour operator to see that you get safely to your destination. Excursions, local entertainment, swimming, sunbathing, skiing – you name it – it’s all laid on for you. There is, in fact, no reason for you to bother about anything yourself. You make friends and have a good time, but there is very little chance that you will really get to know the local people. This is even less likely on a coach tour when you spend almost your entire time traveling.
Of course, there are carefully scheduled stops for you to visit historic buildings and monuments, but you will probably be allowed only a brief stay overnight in some famous city, with a polite reminder to be up and breakfasted early in time for the coach the next morning. You may visit the beautiful, the historic, the ancient, but time is always at your elbow.


There is also the added disadvantage of being obliged to spend your holiday with a group of people you have never met before, may not like, and have no reasonable excuse for getting away from.
As against this, it can be argued that for many people, particularly the lonely or elderly, the feeling of belonging to a group, although for a short period on holiday, is an added bonus. They can sit safely back in their seats and watch the world go by.

Digital technologies have remarkably changed teenagers’ life and work both positively and negatively. According to UNICEF, 71% of 15–24-year-olds are online and one-third of Internet users are under 18 years old.
Teenagers benefit from the advances in technology. (37) . They have various devices like computers, tablets, smartphones, and applications to improve the ways they learn, broaden their relationships, and spend their leisure time. They have more opportunities to learn, get access to information, and use different communication channels inexpensively.
However, they also face many risks. (38) . Statistics show that teens spend less time doing physical activities, and many more teens suffer from obesity, bone and eye problems. (39) . In fact, cyber-bullying on the Internet has become more serious than bullying at school.
