A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime.
2、In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants. The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step furtherchang- ing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusu

These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when theyre short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. “Were thinking about how we can en- gineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,”explained Michae
4、l Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT. One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow(发光)in experiments using some common veg- etables. Stranos team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light, about one-thousandth of the amount needed to
5、read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into self-powered street lamps. In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the
6、plants lifetime. The engineers are also trying to de- velop an on and off “switch”where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight. Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)such as the distance from a p

27、curred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes(基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle- raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained
28、a mutation(突变)that helps them digest milk as adults. On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these peo
29、ple are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in In- donesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They have traditionally lived on houseboats;in recent times, theyve also built houses on stilts(支柱)in coastal waters.“They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Rodney C. Jubilado, a University of Haw
30、aii researcher who studies the Bajau. Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a liv- ing as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish.“We were so amazed that they could stay underwa- ter much longer than us local islanders,”Dr. Jubilado said
31、.“I could see them actually walking under the sea.” In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical charac- teristics that made the task easier for the
32、m.“It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,”said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive. 1.What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 1? A.Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.

38、. I was the queen of the playground. Then came my tweens and teens, and mean girls and cool kids. They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes, breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself. Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psycho
39、logy. Mitch Prinstein, a professor of clinical psy- chology sorts the popular into two categories:the likable and the status seekers. The likables plays- well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships, jump-start interpersonal skills and, when tapped early, are employed ever after in l
40、ife and work. Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence:status born of power and even dishonorable behavior. Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed, Dr. Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences. Those who were highest in status in high school, as well as those least li
41、ked in elementary school, are “most likely to engage(从事)in dangerous and risky behavior.” In one study, Dr. Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents, scoring the least liked, the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究).“We found that the least wel
42、l-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates. But so had those who were high in status. It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment, high status has just the opposite effect on us.” Dr. Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the
43、 neighbors want you on a play dateshar- ing, kindness, opennesscarry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others. In analyzing his and other research, Dr. Prinstein came to another conclusion:Not only is likability re- lated to positive life outcomes, but it is als
44、o responsible for those outcomes, too. “Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advan- tage,”he said. 1.What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary school? A.Unkind. B.Lonely. C.Generous. D.Cool. 2.What is
45、the second paragraph mainly about? A.The classification of the popular. B.The characteristics of adolescents. C.The importance of interpersonal skills. D.The causes of dishonorable behavior. 3.What did Dr. Prinsteins study find about the most liked kids? A.They appeared to be aggressive. B.They tend
