7、nents of a game are equally matched, the team dressed in red is more likely to win, according to a new study.British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham reached that conclusion by studying the outcomes of one-on-one boxing, tae kwon do, Greco-Roman-wresting, an

8、d freestyle-wrestling matches at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece.In each event Olympic staff randomly assigned red or blue clothing or body protection to competitors. When otherwise equally matched with their opponent in fitness and skill, athletes wearing red were more likely to win the

9、bout.Where there was a large point differencepresumably because one contestant was far superior to the othercolor had no effect on the outcome, Barton said. Where there was a small point difference, the effect of color was sufficient to tip the balance.In equally matched bouts, the preponderance of

10、red wins was great enough that it could not be attributed to chance, the anthropologists say. Hill and Barton found similar results in a review of the colors worn at the Euro 2004 international soccer tournament. Their report will be published in tomorrows issue of the journalNature.Joanna Setchell,

11、 a primate researcher at the University of Cambridge in England, has found similar results in nature. Her work with the large African monkeys known as mandrills shows that red coloration gives males an advantage when it comes to mating.The finding that red also has an advantage in human sporting eve

12、nts does not surprise her, addding that the idea of the study is very clever.Hill and Barton got the idea for their study out of a mutual interest in the evolution of sexual signals in primatesred seems to be the color, across species, that signals male dominance and testosterone levels, Barton said

13、.For example, studies by Setchell, the Cambridge primate researcher, show that dominant male mandrills have increased red coloration in their faces and rumps. Another study by other scientists shows that red plastic rings experimentally placed on the legs of male zebra finches increase the birds dom

14、inance.Barton said he and Hill speculated some speculated that there might be a similar effect in humans. And if so, it could be apparent in sporting contests.The pair say their results indicate that sexual selection may have influenced the evolution of humans response to color.Setchell, the primato

15、logist, agrees. As Hill and Barton say, humans redden when we are angry and pale when were scared. These are very important signals to other individuals, she said.The advantage of red may be intuitively known, judging from the prevalence of red uniforms in sportsthough it is clearly not very widely

16、appreciated, on a conscious level at least, Barton said.He adds that the finding of reds advantage might have implications for regulations that govern sporting attire. In the Olympic matches he surveyed for the new study, for example, it is possible some medal winners may have reached the pedestal w

17、ith an unintended advantage.That is the implication, though we cannot say that it made the difference in any one specific case, Barton said.Meanwhile, Setchell notedtongue-in-cheekthat a red advantage may not be limited to sports. Going by the recent U.S. election results, red is indeed quite succes

Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances. People who predicted that the world would run out of food were wro

21、ng. We are producing more and more food with less and less capital. Good is therefore more plentiful and cheaper than it has ever been. Spending on food compared with other goods has fallen for many years, and continues to drop.Supermarkets have helped push down prices mainly because of their scale.

22、 Like any big business, they can invest in IT systems that make them efficient. And their size allows them to buy in bulk. As supermarkets get bigger, the prices get lower.Huge retail companies such as Wal-Mart have tremendous power and they can put pressure on producers to cut their margins. As a r

23、esult, some producers have had to make cuts. In recent years, Unilever has cut its workforce by 33,000 to 245,000 and dropped lots of its minor brands as part of its “path to growth” strategy. Cadbury has shut nearly 20 per cent of its 133 factories and cut 10 per cent of its 55,000 global workforce

24、. These cuts help keep costs down, and the price of food stays low.Does cheap food make people unhealthy? Cheap food may encourage people to eat more. Good companies certainly think that giving people more food for their money makes them buy more. Giving people bigger portions is an easy way of maki

25、ng them feel they have got a better deal. That is why portions have got larger and larger. In America, soft drinks came in 8oz (225g) cans in the past, then 12oz (350g), and now come in 20oz (550g) cans. If a company can sell you an 8oz portion for $7, they can sell you a 12oz portion for $8. The on

26、ly extra cost to the company is the food, which probably costs 25 cents.Now companies are under pressure to stop selling bigger portions for less money. But it is hard to change the trend.GlossaryBuy in bulk: buy goods in large quantitiesPut pressure on: use your power to encourageGet a better deal:
