My Parents' Change
My surprise over the past few winters has been the personality transformation my parents go through around mid December as they change from Dad and Morn into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they become grandparents and are completely different from the people I know the other eleven and a half months of the year.
The first sign of my parents' change is the delight they take in visiting toy and children's clothing stores. These two people, who usually dislike anything having to do with shopping malls, become crazy consumers. While they tell me to budget my money and shop wisely, they are buying up every doll and dump truck in sight.
And this is only the beginning of the holidays!
When my brother's children arrive, Grandpa and Grandma come into full form. First they throw out all ideas about a balanced diet for the grandkids. While we were raised in a house where everyone had to take two bites of corn, beets ( 甜菜 ) , or liver ( foods that appeared quite often on our table despite constant complaining ) , the grandchildren never have to eat anything that does not appeal to them. Grandma carries chocolate in her pockets to bribe ( 賄賂 ) the littlest ones into following her around the house, while Grandpa offers "surprises" of candy and cake to them all day long. Boxes of chocolate-pie disappear while the whole-wheat bread gets hard and stale. The kids love all the sweets, and when the sugar raises their energy levels, Grandma and Grandpa can always decide to leave and do a bit more shopping or go to bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to deal with their highly active kids.
Once the grandchildren have arrived, Grandma and Grandpa also seem to forget all of the responsibility lectures I so often hear in my daily life. If Mickey screams at his sister during dinner, he is "developing his own personality" ; if Nancy breaks Grandma's mirror, she is "just a curious child" . But, if I track mud into the
house while helping to unload groceries, I become "careless"; if I scold one of the grandkids for tearing pages out of my textbook, I am "impatient." If Paula talks back to her mother, Grandma and Grandpa smile at her spirit. If I say one word about all of this excessive love, Morn and Dad reappear to have a talk with me about petty jealousies.

“The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals，especially when they see something new．”He says．“That，combined with their unpredictable nature，can be a dangerous mixture．If they sense you have food，for example，they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat．They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans，but as soon as they feel they might be in danger，they can become extremely vicious(兇惡的)．Fortunately this is rare，but it does happen．”
The research confirmed many things that were already known．As expected，honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill．Even poisonous snakes，feared and avoided by most other animals，were not safe from them．The researchers were surprised，however，by the animal’s fondness for local melons，probably because of their high water content．Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(獵物)．The team also learnt that，contrary to previous research findings，the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups．They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research，including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other．
Following some of the male badgers was a challenge，since they can cover large distances in a short space of time．Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers．
Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males，there are occasional fights over an important food source，and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species．
As me badgers became accustomed to the presence of people．it gave the team the to get up close to them without being the subject of the animals’curiosity—or a sudden aggression．The badgers’eating patterns，which had been disrupted，to normal,It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other that form working associations with the honey badger，as these seemed to badgers’relaxed attitude when near humans．

On the Trial of the Honey Badger
On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert，a team of researchers learnt a lot more about honey badgers(獾)．The team employed a local wildlife expert，Kitso Khama，to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert．Their main aim was to study the badgers’movements and behavior as discreetly(謹慎地)as possible frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior．They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animal’s reputation，this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do．“The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals，especially when they see something new．”He says．“That，combined with their unpredictable nature，can be a dangerous mixture．If they sense you have food，for example，they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat．They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans，but as soon as they feel they might be in danger，they can become extremely vicious(兇惡的)．Fortunately this is rare，but it does happen．”
The research confirmed many things that were already known．As expected，honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill．Even poisonous snakes，feared and avoided by most other animals，were not safe from them．The researchers were surprised，however，by the animal’s fondness for local melons，probably because of their high water content．Previously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(獵物)．The team also learnt that，contrary to previous research findings，the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups．They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research，including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other．
