These gray cards are of all possible shades of gray land include white and
8、black. On each card a watch-glass is placed. The watch-glass on the blue card has some syrup (果汁) in it; all the others are empty. After a short time bees find the syrup, and they come for it again and again. Then, after some hours, we take away the watch-glass of syrup which was on the blue card an
9、d put an empty one in its place.Now what do the bees do? They still go straight to the blue card, although there is no syrup them. They do not go to any of the gray cards, in spite of the fact that one of the gray cards is of exacfiy the same brightness as the blue card. Thus the bees do not mistake
10、 any shade of gray for blue. In his way we have proved that they do really see blue as a color.We can find out in just the same way what other colors bees can see. It turns out that bees can see various colors, but these insects differ from us as regards their color-sense in two very interesting way
11、s. Suppose we train bees to come to a red card, and, having done so, we put the red card on the table in the garden among the set of different gray cards. This time we find that the bees mistake red for dark gray or black. They cannot distinguish between them. This means that red is not a color at a
12、ll for bees; for them it is just dark gray or black.That is one strange fact; here is another. A rainbow is red on one edge, violet on the other. Outside the violet of the rainbow there is another color which we cannot see at all. This color beyond the violet, invisible to us, is called the ultra-vi
13、olet. Although it is invisible, we know that the ultra-violet is there because it affects a photographic plate. Now, although we are unable to see ultra-violet light, bees can do so; for them ultra-violet is a color. Thus bees see a color which we cannot even imagine. This has been found out by trai
14、ning bees to come for syrup to various parts of a spectrum, or artificial rainbow, thrown by a prism on a table in a dark room. In such an experiment the insects can be taught to fly to the ultra-violet, which for us is just darkness.(分数:7.00)(1).Experiment with bees described in the first and secon

If you cant devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file cabinet for family r
20、ecords. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work, whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.When in doubt, throw it out.

23、ling system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs.

But they dont know theres no cure and strongly disagree that “the AIDS epidemic is over.“The findings, released Thursday by the Kais
28、er Family Foundation, reassure activists who have worried that public concern about AIDS might disappear in light of recent news about advances in treatment and declines in deaths.“While people are very optimistic about the advances, theyre still realistic about the fact that there is no cure,“ says
29、 Sophia Chang, director of HIV programs at the foundation.The Kaiser survey, like a recent USA today Gallup Poll, does find that the number of people ranking AIDS as the countrys top health problem has fallen. In the Kaiser poll, 38% say its the topconcern, down from 44 % in a 1996 poll; in the Gall

The empty stretch of interstate gives way to urban congestion, and Coyne
37、hits the brake as a pedestrian suddenly crosses the street in front of him.But even if he hadnt stopped in time, the woman would have been safe. She isnt real. Neither is the town. And Coyne isnt really driving. Coyne is demonstrating a computerized driving simulator that is helping researchers at O
38、ld Dominion University (ODU) examine how in-vehicle guidance systems affect the person behind the wheel.The researchers want to know if such systems, which give audible or written directions, are too distractingor whether any distractions are offset by the benefits drivers get from having help findi
39、ng their way in unfamiliar locations.“Were looking at the performance and mental workload of drivers,“ said Caryl Baldwin, the assistant psychology professor leading the research, which involves measuring drives reaction time and brain activity as they respond to auditory and visual cues.The researc
40、hers just completed a study of the mental workload involved in driving through different kinds of environments and heavy vs. light traffic. Preliminary results show that as people “get into more challenging driving situations, they dont have any extra mental energy to respond to something else in th
41、e environment,“ Baldwin said.But the tradeoffs could be worth it, she said. The next step is to test different ways of giving drivers navigational information and how those methods change the drivers mental workload.“Is it best if they see a picture “ that shows their position, a map kind of display
42、?“ Baldwin said. “Is it best if they hear it?“Navigational systems now on the market give point-by-point directions that follow a prescribed route. “Theyre very unforgiving,“ Baldwin said. “If you miss a tarn, they can almost seem to get angry.“That style of directions also can be frustrating for pe
43、ople who prefer more general instructions. But such broad directions can confuse drivers who prefer route directions, Baldwin said.Perhaps manufacturers should allow drivers to choose the style of directions they want, or modify systems to present some information in a way that makes sense for peopl
44、e who prefer the survey style, she said.Interestingly, other research has shown that about 60 per cent of men prefer the survey style,while 60 per cent women prefer the route style, Baldwin said. This explains the classic little thing of why men dont like to stop and ask for directions and women do,
