高三英语阅读理解细节题专项突破（） When you stand in front of a mirror, you know who you’re looking at. Capuchin monkeys have a different experience, a recent study discovered. When they see themselves in a mirror, they’re just not exactly sure what it is. Scientists define an animal as “self-aware” if it touches a painted spot on its own face when it looks in a mirror. People start to recognize themselves in this way at the age of two. Most monkeys, on the other hand, ignore the markings on their faces. They just don’t understand that the image in the mirror is their own.ZX] To find out whether capuchins are self-aware, psychologist (心理学家) Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta and his colleagues studied eight female and six male monkeys that live at a research center in Georgia. Each capuchin entered a test room, where it faced three different situations. In the first situation, the monkey saw an unfamiliar monkey of the same sex on the other side of a glass barrier. In the second one, the capuchin saw a monkey of the same sex that it was familiar with. Finally, it met its own reflection in a mirror behind a screen. When monkeys saw other monkeys that they already knew, they didn’t do much. When shown an unfamiliar monkey, males made threatening gestures. These were all natural reactions. When the monkeys saw their own reflections, however, something strange happened. Females looked into their own eyes and acted friendly. Males also made more eye contact with their reflections than they did with the animals in the other two situations. Unlike females, though, they tried to escape the room, and otherwise acted confused. “The study shows that capuchins have some self-awareness,” Frans de Waal concludes. They don’t quite see the image as another monkey, nor do they see it as themselves. 1. From the passage we know capuchin monkeys __________. A. are able to make use of the mirror .
