But among the northern Muriqui monkeys, males that spend the most time around their mothers seem to get a(n)【C1】______ boost when mating time rolls around. The findings, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, suggest that females in some species may have evolved to play a critical role in their sons'【C2】______ success. Karen Strier, the paper's lead author and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, says the paper "【C3】______" the so-called grandmother hypothesis, a concept in which human females evolved to live past their【C4】______ reproductive years to spend more time【C5】______ offspring. The research team observed and collected genetic data from a group of 67 wild monkeys living in a protected reserve in Brazil's Atlantic Forest: infants, mothers and possible fathers. They found that six out of the thirteen【C6】______ males they studied spent more time around their mothers than would be expected by chance. These same six monkeys,【C7】______, reproduced the greatest number of offspring. The investigators are still trying to figure out why. "It's not like we see moms intervening and helping their sons out," Strier says. "Maybe【C8】______ sitting near their moms, they get to see when females are sexually active, or maybe they just get more familiar with other【C9】______." The findings can help with future conservation efforts for the critically threatened animals. Strier says, "the last thing we would want to do is【C10】______ a male out of the group where it was born."

Should young people be required to receive a full-time education until they are 18 years old? This has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters' and opponents' opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Systematic education is an essential pathway for children to become mature. In other words, fundamental and comprehensive education ensures them to grow up in a socially acceptable and wholesome way. There is no doubt that young people who receive education would benefit from this experience greatly, for they'll have more opportunities to improve their life prospects. And by learning at school, they can better develop their personalities. As a result, it would be easier for them to climb the career ladder in the future. As more young people could access provision and support in terms of education and jobs, the rate of youth unemployment may be controlled and reduced. NO Admittedly, a series of issues can arise out of full-time schooling, such as failure to provide tailored education according to one's aptitude, which inevitably throttles some talents with potentiality. One main issue about extending compulsory education is the financial burden on families and individuals, since they have to pay more tuition fees. Some students may become demotivated as a result of extending the compulsory education. The reason lies in the fact that they may want to pursue their dreams in other fields.
