Fighting BlindnessC. ORBIS in China D. Sight-seeing TechniquesDScientists have created a scent(气味)-delivery system that
36、 releases a pleasant fragrance when you sweat. Apply it to your skin, and the more you sweat, the better youll smell. Thats because the perfume only gets released upon contact with moisture(湿气).Chemists from Harvard University combined two compounds to create their new system. One chemical is alcoho
37、l-based. This is the nice-smelling perfume. The other chemical is an ionic liquid(离子性液体), which is a type of salt that is liquid at room temperature. Ionic liquids are made of ions-molecules（分子） that have lost or gained one or more electrons（电子）. If the molecule loses electrons, it will have a posit
38、ive charge（正电荷）. If it gains electrons, it gets a negative charge. Ionic liquids contain the same number of positive and negative ions, which makes them neutral, with no overall electric charge. In general, ionic liquids have no smell.When the perfume and ionic liquid are mixed together, a chemical
39、reaction occurs. This bonds the molecules to each other. The reaction also temporarily inactivates the perfumes molecules. So when applied to the skin, the new perfume has no scent in the beginning. But adding water or sweat breaks the bond between the molecules. That releases the scent into the air
40、.“The rate of the release of the fragrance depends on how much you sweat, in other words, how much water is available,” explains chemist Nimal Gunaratne from Harvard University, who led the research. “Sweat is like the command to let the fragrance go.”Christian Quellet is a chemist who has worked in
41、 the perfume industry for a long time. He is now an independent consultant based in Switzerland. “Gunaratnes perfume opens the door to new developments and applications of fragrance controlled-release systems,” he says. Controlled-release systems allow small quantities of some compounds that they ho
42、ld to enter the environment slowly.The system also traps some chemicals in sweat that are responsible for the bad sweat smell. These compounds are called thiols (硫醇). Just as water does, thiols break apart the bond that ties the perfume to the ionic liquid. When this happens, the thiols attach to th
43、e ionic liquid and their bad scent is inactivated as the perfume had been. This means the water in sweat and its thiols are both able to release the fragrance from the newly developed perfume.27. Which of the following makes the scent delivery system special?A. When it releases scent can be well con
44、trolled.B. No perfume is required in the system.C. The scent can last for a long time.D. Sweat can help release the scent.28. The scent is released into the air when _.A. the perfume comes into contact with the skinB. the perfume and ionic liquid contact each otherC. the perfumes molecules are inact
45、ivated by waterD. sweat activates the molecules of the perfume in the mixture29. What Nimal Gunaratne says in Paragraph 4 suggests that with this scent-delivery system _.A. the more you sweat, the better you will smellB. the perfume cant always cover the bad smellC. how much water is available doesn
46、t matter muchD. how you smell depends on how much perfume you use30. What is Christian Quellets attitude towards Gunaratnes new perfume?A. Indifferent. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D.

47、t is helping me crush procrastination（拖延症）and making it easier for me to stick to good habits at the same time. 31 There are two parts to the 2-Minute RulePart 1 - If it takes less than two minutes, then do it now. 32 For example, washing your dishes immediately after your meal, tossing the laundry
48、in the washing machine, taking out the garbage, sending that email, and so on.If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.Part 2 - When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.Can all of your goals be accomplished in less than
49、 two minutes? Obviously not. But, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less. 33 It might sound like this strategy is too basic for grand life goals, but I beg to differ. The 2-Minute Rule works for big goals as well as small goals because of the inertia（惯性）of life. 34 I love the 2-Minute Rule b
50、ecause it embraces the idea that all sorts of good things happen once you get started.The most important part of any new habit is getting started - not just the first time, but each time.

And thats the purpose behind this little rule.C. Heres what you need to know to stop procrastinating.D. Once you start doing something, its easier
52、 to continue doing it.E. But, I can ensure that it will never work if you never try it.F. The goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing.G.
