6、ched. As conservation areas become smaller, lions are increasingly coming into contact with human populations, which are expanding to the 30 of these protected areas.Efforts like painting eyes on cow butts may seem crazy at first, but they could make actual headway in the fight for conservation. “If
7、 the method works, it could provide farmers in Botswana-and 31 with a low-cost, sustainable tool to protect their livestock, and a way to keep lions safe from being killed.”Lions are 32 ambush（埋伏）hunters, so when they feel their prey has 33 them, they usually give up on the hunt.

11、ted by phones, friends, or movies. We race to get all our ground work done: packing, going through security, doing a last-minute work call, calling each other, then boarding the plane. Then, when we try to have that amazing work session in flight, we get nothing done. Even worse, after refreshing ou
12、r email or reading the same studies over and over, we are too exhausted when we land to soldier on with（继续处理） the emails that have inevitably still piled up.B why should flying deplete us?

And lack of recovery whether by disrupting sleep with thoughts of work or having continuous cognitive arousal by watching our phones is costing our companies $62 billion a year in lost productivity.E And just because work stops, it doesnt mean we are recovering. We “stop” work sometimes at 5pm, but then we spend the night wrestling with solutions to work problems, tal
