New research paints a lifestyle picture f the belved pandas in China’s Wlng Nature Reserve, and the new study indicates pandas are arund thers mre than previusly thught. They use scent (气味) marking t keep track f bth family members and friends, leave updates abut life events, and check ut the dating scene.
Thmas Cnnr, lead authr f the study, spent mnths watching fr signs f pandas. “Once yu’ve gtten an eye fr it, yu can see n hill tps and different trails the scent-marking trees, and the pandas seem t be ding this a lt,” Cnnr says. “It is pretty evident that they are exchanging infrmatin thrugh scent marking behavir.”
T link the marked trees with an understanding f panda’s scial structure, the researchers needed t dcument nearby panda cmmunities. Cnnr teamed up with cauthr Ken Frank wh said, “I tld him that nce he has data n which pandas are clse t each ther, we can use the techniques and theries that apply t humans t understand their scial netwrks. And these scent trees are a scial media. Like Facebk, yu dn’t have t be in the same place at the same time. It allws ne t bradcast t many, and it’s a recrd.

In a wrld where everyne has their wn pinins n just abut everything, it’s cmmn fr peple t be critical f each ther’s mistakes and imperfectins withut nticing their wn. Sme individuals mistakenly think it’s their respnsibility t make yu int a better persn. They d this by first pinting ut yur shrtcmings directly and then prviding advice n hw yu can imprve.
S what is the pssible slutin t criticism? If yu are the ne frcing thers t feel ashamed f themselves, please stp. Make a cnscius decisin rather than highlight the negative aspect f a persn’s perfrmance r attitudes. Yu are mre likely t ffer helpful suggestins frm the beginning. If yu are n the receiving end f criticism, the “OK” respnse is a perfect slutin. When smene cmments negatively n a task yu are ding r a persnality issue f yurs, a natural respnse is t defend and attack.

This brief ne-wrd respnse acknwledges the ther persn’s cmment withut agreeing with it r feeling necessary t engage in a debate abut it.
It’s crucial t stay cnnected t what the ther persn is talking abut, and listen withut getting upset, t be an bjective bserver. In fact, there is much that ne can learn frm a negative review. Yu can ask yurself: Did I make a mistake? Culd I have dne better? Did I give 100% f myself t the task at hand? If s, hw can I imprve myself? As fr chrnic criticizers: It is imprtant t set strict bundary with them. Remve yurself frm their presence when necessary.
In any case, ne can learn t be “OK” with criticism and nt allw it t negatively impact yur life r relatinship with the ther party.
12. What might the authr think f peple wh like t judge thers?
A. Self-centered.B. Respnsible.C. Talkative.D. Warm-hearted.
13. What des a persn mean by saying “OK” accrding t Paragraph 2?
A. He thinks the advice is helpful.B. He cmpletely agrees with the cmments.
C. He wants t avid unnecessary arguments.D. He defends himself with the respnse.
14. What is the recmmended actin fr dealing with chrnic criticizers?
A. Embrace their views.B. Criticize them in return.
C. Avid interactin if needed.D. Engage with them regularly.
15. What is the mst suitable title fr the text?
