(2 pts) Tf you think that we are the only creatures on Earth with a moral sense, then you're in good company. Most experts in behaviour believe that morality Is a uniquely human trait without which our ‘complex social life would never have emerged - yet I'm convinced that many animals can distinguish right from wrong, Decades spent watching wild and captive animals have persuaded me that species living in ‘groups often have a sense of fair play bullt on moral codes of conduct that help cement their social relationships. The notion of Nature belng naturally ruthlessly and selfishly competitive doesn't hold true for those of us who have observed and analysed animal relationships. That's not all, I suspect that herein lies the origin of our own virtue, Biologists have had real problems trying to explain why people are frequently inexplicably nice to each other. Tt just doesn't make sense in evolutionary terms, unless there are ulterlor motives behind our seemingly altruistic actions. Perhaps we expect a payback somewhere down the line, or maybe our good deeds are directed only ‘towards kin, with whom we share a biological heritage. Nobody has really considered the possibility that being considerate to your neighbours might sometimes be the best way to survive, But I'm starting to find evidence that a well-developed sense of falr play helps non-human animals live longer, more successful lives. T'm particularly interested in social play amongst youngsters because it has its own special rules of ‘engagement, allowing participants to reinterpret acts that might otherwise seem’aggressive. My studies of infant dogs, wolves and coyotes reveal that they use a special signal to prevent misinterpretation of playful actions. They perform @ bow - which entails crouching on the forelimbs while keeping the rear Upright - when initiating play, or in association with aggressive actions such as biting, to modify their meaning, And role reversal 's common, so that during play a dominant animal will often allow a subordinate to have the upper hand. Such behaviours reduce inequalities in size, strength and dominance between playmates, fostering the co-operation and reciprocity that are essential for play to occur; Indeed, on the rare occasions when an animal says ‘Let's play’ and then beats up an unsuspecting animal, the cuiprit usually finds itself ostracized by its former playmates. My belief is that a sense of faimess is common to many animals, because there: could be no social play without It, and without social play individual animals and indeed, entire groups would be at @ disadvantage. If I'm right, morality evolved because It is adaptive. Tt helps many animals, including humans, to survive and flourish in thelr particular social environment, This may sound like a radical idea, particulary if you view morality as uniquely human and a sort of mystical quality that sets us apart from other animals, But if you accept my argument that play and faimess are inextricably linked, you're halfway there. “The challenge then is to demonstrate that individual animals benefit from fair behaviour and social play but the more we learn about how play affects the brain, the more apparent it becomes that the activity is far from idle time-wasting, On the contrary, it Is essential food for the brain. In fact what this does is sharpen an individuals cognitive skils, induding logical reasoning and behavioural adaptability. Tam not putting the case forward for a specific gene for fait or moral behaviour. As with any behavioural trait, the underlying genetics is bound to be complex, and environmental influences may be large. No matter. Provided there Is variation in levels of morality among individuals, and provided virtue is rewarded by a greater number of offspring, then any genes associated with good behaviour are bound to accumulate in subsequent generations. And the observation that play is rarely unfair or unco-operative is surely an indication that natural selection acts to weed out those who don't play by the rules. What does this tell us about human morality? First, we didn't Invent virtue - its origins are much more ancient than our own. Secondly, we should stop seeing ourselves as morally superior to other animals. True, our big brains endow us witha highly sophisticated sense of what's right and wrong, but 2they also give us much greater scope for manipulating others - to decelve and try to benefit from immoral behaviour. In that sense, animal morality might be purer’ than our own, We should accept our moral responsiblity towards other animals, and that means developing and enforcing more restrictive regulations governing animal use, While animal minds may vary from one species to another, they are not so different from our own, and only when we accept this can we truly be moral in our relations with nature as a whole. 1. In the first paragraph, what does the writer state about morality? ‘A. Humans are the only creatures that demonstrate true emotional behaviour. B. A well-developed moral code does not lead to civilization. CC. Humans and animals share the same selfish instincts for survival. . There is a common misconception that animals are not moral. 2. What point does the writer make in the second paragraph? ‘A. People who are generous to others are not always sure why they behave this way. B. People who do riot possess good social skills achieve less in fife, C. People who behave considerately to others have seffish reasons for doing so. D. People who treat acquaintances better than relatives are unusual. 3. What has the wrlter deduced about social play from his observation of animals? A. Tt provides ‘an opportunity for physically weaker animals to develop thelr survival skils, B. It allows animals to prove who is dominant in the group without using real aggression. C. It requires animals to abide by the rules or they will be excluded from the rest of the group. D. It demonstrates that certain animals possess a large range of emotions. 4, The word “ostracized” is closest in meaning to ‘ A, embraced B. boycotted . developed D. befriended 5. Which of the following best summarizes the writer’s argument in the fourth paragraph? ‘A. There are different degrees of morality between various cultures.

There is little point seeking the origin of moral behaviour. D. Animals that behave fairly are more likely to breed. 8. In the final paragraph, the writer concludes that people ‘A, must treat animals on equal terms with humans .

Yet surprisingly @ iitle is known about how far children’s participation extends to their home lives and the routine business of everyday life.

Many of the findings were iluminating.The ways in which families made decisions Involved @ subtie, complex and dynamic set of processes in which children could have a decisive influence. Most families operated democratically but children accepted the ultimate authority of their parents, so that they felt their parents acted ‘fairy’. For children, ‘falmess’ had more to do with being treated equitably than simply having the decision made in their favour, Children could use claims to fairness as a moral lever in negotiations with parents.
