第1篇Common-cold SenseYou can‘t beat it,but you don‘t have to join it.‗Maybe it got the name ―common cold‖ because it‘s more common in winter.The fact is,though,being cold doesn‘t have anything to do with getting one 3.Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruses,and,at least SO far,medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults,because they have more colds than adults — an average of about eight per year.Why do kids seem SO much more easily to get colds than their parents? Simple.They haven‘t had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 1 50 different cold viruses,and you never have the same one twice.Beinginfected by one makes you immune to it — but only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact,not sneezing or coughing.From another person‘s hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route。

One key to understanding how and by something happened is to discover when it happened.Radiocarbon dating was developed in the late 1940s by physicist Willard F. Libby at he University of Chicago. An atom of ordinary carbon,called carbon-12,has six protons(中子)and six neutrons (质子)in its nucleus. Carbon-14,or C-14,is a radioactive,unstable form of carbon that has two extra neutrons (原子核)。

Mind-reading1 MachineA team of researchers in California has developed a way to predict what kinds of objects people are looking at by scanning what's happening in their brains.When you look at something, your eyes send a signal about that object to your brain. Different regions of the brain process the information your eyes send. Cells in your brain called neurons are responsible for this processing.The fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging ) 2 brain scans could generally match electrical activity in the brain to the basic shape of a picture that someone was looking at.Like cells anywhere else in your body, active neurons use oxygen. Blood brings oxygen to the neurons, and the more active a neuron is, the more oxygen it will consume. The more active a region of the brain, the more active its neurons, and in turn, the more blood will travel to that region. And by using fMRI, scientists can visualize3 which parts of the brain receive more oxygen-rich blood--and therefore, which parts are working to process information.An fMRI machine is a device that scans the brain and measures changes in blood flow to the brain. The technology shows researchers how brain activity changes when a person thinks, looks at something, or carries out an activity like speaking or reading. By highlighting the areas of the brain at work when a person looks at different images, fMRI may help scientists determine specific patterns of brain activity associated with different kinds of images.The California researchers tested brain activity by having two volunteers view hundreds of pictures of everyday objects, like people, animals, and fruits. The scientists used an fMRI machine to record the volunteers' brain activity witheach photograph they looked at. Different objects caused different regions of the volunteers' brains to light up on the scan, indicating activity. The scientists used this information to build a model to predict how the brain might respond to any image the eyes see.In a second test, the scientists asked the volunteers to look at 120 new pictures. Like before, their brains were scanned every time they looked at a new image. This time, the scientists used their model to match the fMRI scans to the image. For example, if a scan in the second test showed the same pattern of brain activity that was strongly related to pictures of apples in the first test, their model would have predicted the volunteers were looking at apples.词汇:scan v. &n. 扫描visualize v. 使可见;设想neuron n. 神经元注释:1.

prompting the development of seasonal forecasting,Anderson said.When El Nino hit in 199 1 and 1997.200 million people were affected by flooding in China alone.according to a 2002 United Nations report.While predicting smaller E1 Nino events remains tricky.the ability to predict larger ones should be increased to at least a year if the new method is confirmed.E1 Nino tends to develop between April and June and reaches its peak between December and February.The warming tends to last between 9 and 1 2 months and occurs every two to seven years·The new forecasting method does not predict any major El Nino events in the next two years, although a weak warming toward the end of this year is possible.E1 Nino n.厄尔尼诺现象Equatorial adj.赤道的Occurrence n.发生Meteorologist n.气象学家Offset v.抵销Lead adj.提前的Monsoon n.季风Tricky adj.难以捉摸的练习:1.The method used by the Columbia University researchers can predict E1 Nino a few months in advance.A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned2.
