Are Humans the Only Animals with Emotions?Do animals have emotions, and if so, which ones? Scientists and animal lovers often debate this issue. In the past, many scientists believed that animals were not capable of showing complex human emotions such as empathy (共情). Empathy is the understanding of and sharing in another's feelings. For example, if your little brother's rabbit dies, you probably would feel bad for him.Several recent experiments support the theory that animals feel empathy. In 1964, one study showed that rhesus monkeys would not accept food if another monkey got an electric shock. Likewise, biologist Marc Bekoff reports that when he was watching elephants in Kenya, he noticed an elephant that had been crippled for years. Although the elephant moved very slowly, other elephants never left it behind. They'd stop walking, check on her, and then wait for her. Bekoff also tells of Alaskan little bears whose mother was shot and died. One little bear had been wounded, so he walked and swam painfully slowly, but his sister never left his side.There are reports of animals showing emotions besides empathy, too. In 2000, a humpback whale was trapped in fishing lines off California's coast. After divers freed the whale, it played with each diver, seeming to show gratitude. Gorillas, llamas, and many other animals appear to express grief when a mate dies. And then there's the story of the two abandoned dogs that were taken to an animal shelter. When one of them went blind, the other led his companion around the new environment until the blind dog learned its way around. Maybe humans and animals aren't so different after all.15. We can infer from the passage that _________

Engaging in physical activity brings numerous benefits to both the body and the mind. Whether it's walking, jogging, or working out at the gym, regular exercise contributes to overall health.② One of the main advantages of regular exercise is its positive effect on physical health. It helps control weight by burning calories and building muscles. Physical activity also plays a crucial role in reducing the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. Additionally, exercise promotes better sleep, strengthens the immune system, and enhances flexibility and joint health.③ Beyond the physical benefits, regular exercise has a profound impact on mental health. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins (内啡肽), often referred to as "feel-good hormones (荷尔蒙)". These chemicals in the brain act as natural mood lifters, reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. Regular exercise is likely to lower the risk of age-related mental decline.④ Engaging in physical activity also increases social connections. Whether through group classes, team sports, or outdoor activities, exercise provides chances to connect with others who share similar interests. This social aspect of a regular exercise routine not only contributes to a sense of community and support.⑤ In conclusion, the benefits of regular exercise are various and include physical, mental, and social well-being.
