18、n-year-old kid named Joe, with blond hair and blue eyes. To others, he is different.

I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine. Others se
19、e an annoyance, I a bother.This is not to say that I have never felt resentful (怨恨的) toward Joe. He is my brother, and with that comes responsibility. “Gina, could you stay in tonight and watch your brother?” “Gina, do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper (尿布) later, please?” “Could
20、you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus?”These are phrases that I have heard since I was twelve. And sure, they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent. I would think: thats not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club, or get extra help from
21、that teacher. Or, all my friends are going out tonight, why cant I? And, how come I have to feed him? He is not my son!However, the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him. Besides making me responsible from a young age, and
22、 helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people, he has taught me to be thankful for what I have.I know that there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience.

26、eD. treasure meaningful momentsCDoes happiness have a scent?When someone is happy, can you smell it?You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, heating them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests
27、that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy an
28、d none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the sam
29、ples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signalingthough its unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents-particu
30、larly their facial expressions-indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell, said study co-author Gun Se
31、min, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures
32、previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for
33、 such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies (香味疗法) could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and al
34、so how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.8. What is the main finding of the new research?A. Men produce more sweats.B. Negative emotions have a smell.C. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.D. Women have a better sense of sm

The technology can also help farmers decide when to plant and harvest crops.As a result, precision farming can improve time management, reduce water and chemical use, and produce healthier crops and higher yieldsall of which be

The U.S. Department of Agriculture, NASA and
42、 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration all support precision farming, and many colleges now offer course work on the topic.In a related development, seed producers are applying technology to improve plant characteristics. By following individual plants over time and analyzing which one
43、s flourish in different conditions, companies can relate the plants response to their environments with their genomics (基因组学). That information, in turn, allows the companies to produce seed varieties that will grow well in specific soil and weather conditions. This advanced technology may also help
44、 to improve crop nutrition.Farmers do not universally welcome precision agriculture for various reasons, such as high equipment costs and lack of access to the Internet. The technology may bring great challenges to experienced farmers who are not good at computers. And large systems will also be bey

53、to increased sales of those products.”Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their citys crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study. _19_ Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks

Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines._20_ The findings were reported in September in the J

The pouring rain soon became so heavy that her windshield wipers(雨刮器) couldnt keep up. Fiona knew that her onl

The loud bang came from behind her, right near the window where her daughter sat. The glass of the window was broken, and a moment l
75、ater she discovered that something equally sharp and dangerous was hitting her child. It was hailstones(冰雹), nearly golf-ball-sized chunks of ice falling from the sky. Hailstones can cause serious damage. Even cattle can be killed as well if they do not seek shelter. Fiona dived into the back seat a
