16、 immediately became the object of his affections. As he observed her and spoke with her, he admired her more and more. He showered her with kindness and words of praise until she consented to be his wife.Not long after they were married, however, the beautiful woman found out that she was more the o
17、bject of his artistic interest than of his affections. When he admired her classic beauty, it was as though he were standing in front of a work of art rather than in front of a human being to whom he had pledged his love and promised his life. And soon he expressed his great desire to put her rare b
18、eauty on canvas.“ Please sit for me in the workroom,” he pleaded, “ and I will make your beauty permanent. The work will be my masterpiece!”She was humble and patient as well as flattered by his words, so she said, “Yes, my love. I will be happy to sit for you.” So the beautiful, young wife of the a
19、rtist sat meekly for hours in his studio, not complaining. Day after day she sat patiently, smiling as she posed, because she loved him and because she hoped that he would see her love in her smile and obedience. She sometimes wanted to call out to him, “ Please love me and want me as a person rathe
20、r than as an object !” But instead, she spoke nothing but words which pleased him.At length, as the labor drew to close, the painter became wilder in his passion for his work. He only rarely turned his eyes from the canvas to look at his wife. As he stood there gazing at his beautiful work of art, h

But hardly any studies had been done in dogs.Guide dogs presented a useful group to study for several reasons. First, at The Seeing
25、Eye, guide dog school in America, many puppies（幼犬）are raised in a single location under fairly controlled conditions. Second, the dogs have a clear measure of success: Either they graduate from the program to become a working guide dog or they are released. And third, success as a guide dog isnt eas
26、y; the dog must be willing and able to navigate a complex and often-unpredictable environment while remaining attentive to its owner.To gather information about the puppies early-life experiences, Emily Bray and a team of researchers at The Seeing Eyes breeding center took video and closely observed
27、 23 mothers and their 98 puppies for their first five weeks of life. “We wanted to know if we could separate the moms based on how they interacted with their puppies,” Bray said. “We recorded things like her nursing position, how much time she spent looking away from the puppies and how much time sh
28、e spent in close proximity（临近）to her puppies or licking them.”When the researchers tracked the puppies a couple of years down the line, they found that those with mothers that were more attentive were less likely to graduate from The Seeing Eyes training program to become guide dogs. In particular,
29、those dogs whose mothers nursed more often lying down, as opposed to sitting or standing up, were less likely to succeed.“If a mother is lying on her stomach, the puppies basically have free access to milk, but if the mother is standing up, then the puppies have to work to get it,” said Bray. “It se

It expressed his ideas of all that is true and good and beautiful in this world. He never was tire
34、d of visiting the park himself, of expanding it and improving it. Even today, Disneyland is kept spotless. Every night, each street and walkway is washed, and workers with knives get down on their hands and knees to scrape (刮，擦) up chewing gum that has been dropped by visitors. (Visitors to the park
35、 are called “guests” never “customers”) Every year, some 800,000 plants are replaced because Disney refused to put up signs asking his “guests” not to step on them. All of this has reduced the profits, but it adds immeasurably to the attraction of the park. Undoubtedly it helps explain why an amazin

There are plenty of shade trees, much grass, and lots of cool water in ponds and lakes and riversall man-made. The park is divided into five sections. In on
37、e section, the visitor walks along an American Main Street as Disney remembered from his childhood. Another section (Tomorrow land) shows the world of the future. A third, Adventure land, satisfies the universal love of exploration. Still another, Fantasyland, takes the visitor into the dreamlike wo

It is possible, in a single day, to visit in imagination every continent and almost every historical period. There is something for every group.Most of what has been said about Disneyland is also true of
39、 Walt Disney World. This is a second huge amusement park outside of Orlando, Florida, designed to thrill east-coast visitors as Disneyland has thrilled those in the west. Millions of children and adults have visited its Main Street, Magic Kingdom, and other unforgettable attractions.1、From the 1st p

43、 insects present a huge nutritional opportunity as an increasing globalpopulation seeks more sources of food and feed.Insects have generally high levels of animal protein and key micronutrients with lower environmentalfootprints than traditional alternatives,and they can be raised on leftovers.But c
44、ultural,social and economicproblems remain,reports an article published today in Nutrition Bulletin.“Insects present a nutritional opportunity,but it is unclear how their nutritional quality is influenced bywhat they are fed,”says Darja Dobermann,a researcher at the University of Nottingham.“In idea
45、lconditions,insects have a smaller environmental impact than most traditional western forms of animal protein; less known is how to raise insect production while maintaining these environmental benefits.”“Studies overall show that insects could make valuable economic and nutritional contributions to
46、 the foodor feed systems,but there are no clear regulations in place to bring insects into such supply systems withoutthem turning into a more expensive version of poultry（家禽）for food,” says Dobermann.The article highlights how insects have been a source of food for hundreds of years in more than 10
47、0countries with over 2,000 species that can be eaten; in central Africa,up to 50% of dietary protein has comefrom insects,with their market value higher than many alternative sources of animal protein.Insects need to be large enough to make the effort of catching them worthwhile and easy to locate,preferably in predictably large quantities.They are c
