Unable to endure the aspect of the being I had created, I rushed out of the room and continued a long time traversing my bed-chamber, unable to compose my mind to sleep.

Psychologists wanted to test how young children think about rewards and fairness. In an experiment, two teachers handed out rewards while children (ages four to six) watched. The teachers gave out the same number of rewards, but one of them counted the rewards out loud. The children were then asked who was fairer. 73% chose the teacher who counted. The psychologists think that counting showed the children that the teacher wanted to be fair. The children may have believed that the teacher who did not count did not care about fairness.
What is the main idea of the text?
An experiment showed that the way rewards are given out may affect whether young children think the situation is fair. The text describes a study assessing how children think of rewards and fairness and its results.

The old man sat alone on the dock, his weathered hands gripping a fishing rod that seemed an extension of his own gnarled self. The setting sun bled across the horizon, staining the gentle ripples of the water with hues of orange and violet. He had seen a thousand such sunsets in his lifetime, each one a silent confirmation of another day that had passed, another memory lost to the slow, relentless tide of time. A profound stillness hung in the air, broken only by the lapping of the water against the pilings and the lonely call of a distant gull, a sound that seemed to carry all the quiet sorrow of the world.

A study by Jennifer Nemhauser et al. has revealed unexpected complexities in plant hormone responses. Auxin, a hormone that directs plant growth by triggering cells to elongate and divide, has long been known to control diverse aspects of development, from root formation to fruit ripening. The researchers engineered yeast cells with minimal synthetic versions of the auxin signaling pathway, examining how cells respond when specific signaling proteins are degraded in the presence of auxin. Their study revealed that these responses varied significantly depending on which auxin receptor was present in the system. This finding helps explain how auxin can trigger such diverse developmental responses in plants.
What is the main idea of this text?
Research using engineered yeast cells has shown how a single hormone can play a role in varied aspects of development by triggering different cellular responses based on which receptors are present. The passage describes both Nemhauser’s team’s findings about receptor-dependent variation in auxin responses and how this helps explain how one hormone can produce many different developmental effects in plants.
