57、. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink (缩小) as it moves away from
58、 the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar o

BIt turns orange. CIt goes farther. DIt gets through dust.答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据
63、第二段中The overhead moon does not really shrink(缩小) as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away.

Dr Carsten Flohr and his team at Kings College London presented the
97、results of their populationbased study in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.Researchers involved about 1,300 threemonthold babies from across the UK in this study. They looked specifically at the level of calcium carbonate (碳酸钙) in the water, which is a measure of water hardness. The le
98、vel of chlorine (氯) in the familys water supply was also taken into consideration, as was the use of bathing products, and how regularly the babies were bathed. The babies were then examined for the presence of childhood eczema (湿疹). The natural barrier of their skin was also examined; babies were s
99、creened for the FLG gene which is associated with an affected skin barrier.The study found that hard water is linked to an 87 percent increased risk of eczema for babies of three months of age. “Our study builds on growing evidence of a link between exposure to hard water and the risk of developing
100、eczema in childhood. Its not yet clear whether calcium carbonate has a direct bad effect on the skin barrier, or whether other environmental factors directly related to water hardness, such as the waters PH, may be responsible，” Dr Carsten Flohr said.And the study, thankfully, doesnt end there. Dr F
101、lohr will be examining these results further, with a new study in the works. This late study is due to begin later this year and the question they will be seeking to answer is whether a device to lower water hardness in households will have any effect on the skin of babies. If a device is introduced
102、 into a household when a baby is born, will the risk of eczema developing be reduced? For those with babies or children suffering, this could be the news you have hoped for.New research into the link between water quality and infant skin health has made progress.(要点1) To draw the conclusion, researc
103、hers examined about 1,300 threemonthold infants, taking various factors such as water hardness into consideration. (要点2) They found hard water made the risk of eczema for babies increase by 87%, but questions like whether calcium carbonate harms the skin barrier directly remain unclear. (要点3) Dr Flohr will further examine whether a household device lowering water hardness benefits babies skin or protects them from eczema. (要点4)
