It is funded by Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal.Mr. Thiel said, “Its always exciting to witness the creation of a new form of media. The technology promises to captivate readers in a different way.”However, they have been gree
17、ted with horror by traditionalists, who say the technology takes away the pleasure of having ones imagination stimulated by a story. They also raise the prospect (预期) of having to ask an overly eager reader to turn their book down. David Nicholls, whose bestseller One Day was recently turned into a

By tracking these contests with high-speed cameras, a new study gives the first, in-depth peek into avian aerodynamics (鸟类空气力学) in the wild. “The findings may even provide insight into how to design better mic

This technology will be brilliantly useful,” says biomechanics expert Jim Usherwood of the United Kingdoms Royal Veterinary College in Hatfield. “High-resolution field studies like this have never been done before for birds.”For cliff swallows, the trouble starts when th

After arrival, they seek out their old mud nestsusually located under concrete bridges and freeways-and start rebuilding their homes. But rather than hunt down a fresh supply of mud, some swallows prefer stealing suppl

Others take things further and will even lay an egg or two in their neighbors nest before taking off.Battles in the air follow if the invaders are caught in the act, and a new study takes advantage of these fights to learn how birds perform high-speed maneu
25、vers (演习). The team placed three cameras along a North Carolina lake crossed by a highway bridge that houses several cliff swallow nests and waited for the battles to commence.The team was surprised to learn that most of the time, chasers copied the move of fleeing invaders. Swallows also pull very
26、hard turns to escape an enemy, with one extreme case reaching 7.8 gravity. Fighter pilots usually pass out at about 5 or 6 gravity, which is why these experiments have earned interest, and partial funding, from the Office of Naval Research. The Navy may use the findings to build better guidance syst

However, the swallows biomechanics are complex, and now the team is simply trying to collect a few tricks.1、Why did the Usherwood carry out the studies?ATo guide a better design of air vehicles.BTo prove the swallows are better at flying.CTo experiment with its high-speed

30、 as “unrecyclable”. But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products. Its aim is to take items that people normally consider impossible to recycle, and then
31、use science to figure out a way to do just that.Despite the increase in anti-smoking ads and messaging over the past 20 years, global sales of cigarettes increased by 4 percent, and a whole lot of those cigarette butts are ending up as trash, which can surely pollute the surrounding environment.So h
32、ow do you go about turning all those poisonous ends into something useful? TerraCycle does this by first breaking them down into separate parts. They mix the remaining materials, such as the tobacco and the paper, with other kinds of rubbish, and use it on non-agricultural land, such as golf courses
33、. The filters (过滤嘴) are a little harder. To recycle these, TerraCycle first makes them clean and cuts them into small pieces, and then combines them with other recycled materials, making them into liquid for industrial plastic products.They now have more than 3,000 cigarette recycling bins in nine c
34、ountries around the world. Theyre also expanding their recycling offerings to the rest of the 40 percent of household waste that currently cant be recycled, such as chocolate packaging, pens, and mobile phones. The goal is to use the latest research to find a way to stop so much waste ending up in.
35、landfill (垃圾填埋), and then get companies to fund the process. And so far, its working.“We havent found anything that we cant recycle,” communications director of Terra Cycle, Albe Zakes, said. “But with the amount and variety of packaging and litter in the world, we are always looking for new waste s
36、treams to address.”1、Which of the following is true according to the text?AIt is impossible for the filters to be recycled.BTerra Cycle has achieved a lot in recycling what used to be considered “unrecyclable”.CAnti-smoking ads and messaging have led to peoples quitting smoking.DMobile phones cant b
