Then an amazing thing happened. The man stepped up to the counter and used the coupon that the elderly
lady had given him. When the clerk handed him another coupon for his next visit to the store, he promptly
turned around and gave it to the woman in line behind him. After she had used that coupon toward her
purchase and the clerk gave her another one, the woman then passed it back to the shopper behind her. Dale
was amazed. He couldn't believe that a simple gesture of kindness could spark such a chain reaction. Dale
watched as the coupon made its way down the line, and he was struck by how each person who received it
seemed to be genuinely touched by the gesture.
By the time the coupon reached Dale, he felt like he was part of something special. He had never
experienced anything like it before, and he was grateful to be a part of it. Dale decided to pay it forward by
giving the coupon to the person behind him. As Dale left the store, he couldn't help but smile. He had come in
feeling stressed and frustrated, but he was leaving feeling happy and fulfilled. Dale says it was one of the best
gifts he got that Christmas. It wasn't the physical gift itself, but the reminder that even in the midst of the
holiday rush, people were still capable of kindness and generosity.

猞猁和郊狼的数量也会相应增加和减少。最近的研究发现，雪靴兔数量下降不仅是因为天敌吃掉了太
多，还因为长期生活在杀手环绕中的压力导致母兔摄食减少和生育减少。这些研究还发现，对于其他
野生哺乳动物和鸣禽来说，对天敌的恐惧也会导致它们生育和抚养幼崽的数量减少。这些发现表明，
恐惧经历可能对野生动物产生长期影响，并暗示创伤后应激障碍不仅仅是人类独有的，也存在于其他
生物中。

David Diamond对此观点持怀疑态度。
35. 通读全文，尤其是第三段的These findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that fearful
experiences can have long-lasting effects on wildlife and suggesting that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
