Then, when an unsuspecting insect flies by, the spider releases the thread, springing itself and its satelli
32、te-shaped web toward its prey. All of this happens in the blink of an eye.Those eye-watering numbers led Georgia Tech chemical engineer Saad Bhamla to wonder: How are these tiny spiders achieving such fast movements? Then he started to investigate. He checked the literature and found only a few pape
33、rs. The papers were decades old and only described the slingshot motion, not the speeds or G-forces the spiders experienced. So Bhamla enlisted the help of his assistant, Symone Alexander, and together they “went out hunting for spiders in the Amazon rainforest,” Alexander says.After locating one of
34、 the spiders, which measures roughly 2 millimeters in length, the researchers would set up portable high-speed cameras with special lenses and record its motions. Then, either Alexander or Bhamla would snap their fingers to get the spider to launch itself through the air. Only later did the pair lea
35、rn that a human finger - snap closely matches the frequency of a buzzing mosquito and that seemed to be the only frequency that set the spiders spring off. “Its just amazing that we can snap our fingers and get this magical thing,” Bhamla says.Analyzing the footage, Alexander and Bhamla could watch

40、fiction.CPeople who frequently eat fruit are more likely to report greater positive mental health and are less likely to report symptoms of depression than those who do not, according to new research from the College of Health and Life Sciences, Aston University. The team also found that people who
41、eat savoury（咸味的） snacks such as crisps（薯片）, which are low in nutrients（营养）, are more likely to report greater levels of anxiety.Published in the British Journal of Nutrition, the study surveyed 428 adults from across the UK and looked at the relationship between their consumption of fruit, vegetable
42、s, sweet and savoury snacks, and their psychological（心理的） health. The research found that both nutrient-rich fruit and nutrient-poor savoury snacks appeared to be linked to psychological health. They also found that there was no direct association between eating vegetables and psychological health.
43、Based on the survey, the more often people ate fruit, the lower they scored for depression and the higher for mental health, independent of the overall quantity of fruit intake. By contrast, there was no link between these everyday memory lapses（差错） and fruit and vegetables intake or sweet snacks, s

It is also possible that the future
46、limit of processed（特殊处理的） snacks at checkouts, could not only improve the countrys physical health, but mental health too.”“Overall, its definitely worth trying to get into the habit of reaching for the fruit bowl.”64.
