27、em. For example, Portugals soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch (球场) with his right foot first, according to The Telegraph.

28、 that the horseshoe hed hung at his country home was lucky. “Of course not,” the Danish physicist said. “But I understand its lucky whether you believe in it or not.” One recent study found that even scientists at MIT and other top US schools tended to look for a meaning in natural events, similar t

31、 each of them said that, personally, they wouldnt let the “witch” do it to them. So why are so many of us superstitious?

32、ity, said in a 2008 interview. “The human brain is always trying to work out why things happen, and when the reason is not clear, we tend to make up some pretty bizarre (古怪的) explanations.” And these explanations arent completely unhelpful. In fact, superstitions can sometimes work and bring real lu

39、ys , as fruit and vegetables are transported over large distances from farms to supermarkets, they are harvested when they are still unripe. They are then kept in an ethylene-free environment, until they reach their destination where they are exposed to ethylene gas. Now, as a fruit starts to be ove
40、rripe, it will release a larger amount of ethylene. This is picked up by other fruit and vegetables that are next to it - causing them to ripen faster. So, as you can imagine, a domino effect happens , causing an entire box to go bad.A company C2Sense has invented a tiny computer chip called electro
41、nic nose, which can sense ethylene in small amounts - too small for a human nose to smell, and cause an alarm.
