问题     Human males living with their moms may not expect to have much luck hooking up this Valentine’s Day.【C1】______among the northern Muriqui monkeys, males that spend the most time around their mothers seem to get a(n) 【C2】______boost when mating time rolls around.

They found that six out of the thirteen【C10】______males they studied spent more time around their mothers than would be expected by chance. These same six monkeys, on【C11】______, reproduced the greatest number of【C12】______.

    The findings can【C17】______with future conservation efforts for the critically【C18】______animals. Strier says, "the【C19】______thing we would want to do is【C20】______a male out of the group where it was born."
