The listening content totally contradicts the reading passage on the concept of altruism from humans and animals.
To begin with, the reading says that meerkats eat nothing while standing guard. But the speaker argues that meerkats eat before standing guard and are full of stomachs when they are on duty for their group. Besides, the reading talks about the fact that the sentinel meerkats put themselves in danger because of giving alarms and running alone without protection. However, the lecturer defends that they are close to burrows, they can escape and hide in the burrows faster than other meerkats as soon as they see the predators, so they are actually safe.
Moreover, they are also safer when they give out the alarm cry because other meerkats will get together or move quickly. This will draw the predator’s attention and increase the caller’s chance to survive.
Lastly, the reading mentions that humans can share food with or even donate their organs to strangers without anything in return. Yet the lecturer disputes that people who do these still gain some non-material rewards, such as appreciation from society. Whatever they do can increase their own degree of self-worth. Therefore, the passage and the lecture are controversial on the issue of altruism.
