At a recent luncheon (午餐会) Yao Ming an wellknown Chinese basketball players was introduced to the CEOs of IBM FedEx Motorola Disney AOL Time Warner and visiting former Chinese President Jiang Zemin Other deals include Nike Sorrent and China Unicom
In the end Yao is expected to earn much more in endorsement deals than his fouryear＄18million salary to play center for the Houston Rockets
His friendly personality is real says Jimmy Siegel who as vicechairman senior executive creative director at BBDO New York was behind Yao’s Yo commercial for the Visa check card
He’s very much what you＇d imagine says Siegel He’s very modest down to Earth somewhat selfeffacing (爱抛头露面) and somewhat quiet but I think that’s part of the language problem
Despite all the attention Ming’s bank account is still a far cry from Jordan’s or Woods’ who each earn between＄40 million and ＄60 million every year in endorsement
Unlike Jordan and Woodswho are unquestionably the best in the world at what they dothere’s no way to know how long Yao Ming will remain the king of the NBA—he’s only been here for six months

B Because Jordon was invited to the luncheon
C Because Yao Ming had language problem
D Because Yao Ming didn’t meet his best friend here

Mary is digging in the ground for a photo when along comes John Seeing that there is no one in sight John starts to scream John’s angry mother rushes over and drives Mary away Once his mum has gone John helps himself to Mary’s potato
We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him But Mary and John are not humans They’re African baboons(狒狒) 16
John’s scream and his mother’s attack on Mary could have been a matter of chance but John was later seen playing the same tricks on others 17
Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes(猿) clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated 18 An ape was annoying him so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting When she found nothing she walked back hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day
Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy He slowly stole up behind the other ape walking on tiptoe When he got close to his enemy he pushed him violently in the back then ran indoors Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe19 But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying
It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies 20 Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence
A In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating
B An amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania
C And playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior
D So the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery
E The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use
of tools
F This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly
used by baboons
G Of course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works without understanding why
