8、obel Prize in Physics jointly with Arthur Ashkin and Grard Mourou for their work. Its the first time in 55 years that a woman has won this celebrated prize, but why has it taken so long? We look at four other pioneering female scientists past and present who had a genuine claim to the prize. Lene Ha
9、u Hau is bestknown for leading the research team at Harvard University in 1999 that managed to slow a beam of light, before managing to stop it completely in 2001. Often topping Nobel Prize prediction lists, could 2019 be Haus year? ChienShiung Wu ChienShiung Wus “Wu experiment” helped disprove the
10、“law of conservation of parity” , a fundamental particle physics law. Her experimental work was instrumental but never honoured, and instead, her male colleagues won the 1957 Nobel Prize for their theoretical work behind the study. Jocelyn Bell Burnell Perhaps the most famous absent treatment: then
11、student Jocelyn Bell Burnell discovered the first radio pulsars (脉冲星) in 1967, when she was a PhD student at Cambridge. The Nobel Prize that recognised this great discovery in 1974, however, went to her male supervisor, Antony Hewish. The award is considered one of the most unfair in the history of
12、the Nobel Prize, so even some people called it “The No Bell Nobel”. Recently awarded a 2.3million Breakthrough Prize, she joked: “I feel Ive done very well out of not getting a Nobel Prize.” Lise Meitner Physicist Lise Meitner led groundbreaking work on the discovery of nuclear fission (核裂变), the sp

However, the discovery was acknowledged by the 1944 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, which was won by her male colead, Otto Hahn.21Who is always predicted to win the Nobel Prize?ALene Hau.

Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment dont do so well o

So researchers have been working on building soft robots for several ten years. Theyve taken inspiration fr

22、ing.C More and more people around the world are living in city areas and the need for highquality fresh food is rising. At the same time, new homes, apartment buildings, shopping centers and roads are taking the place of rich land near cities. That makes growing crops in tall buildings an interestin
23、g solution. In Dallas, Texas, a company called Green Habitat Hydroponics (GHH) sells vertical farming supplies. “You can control anything and everything you want to with hydroponics the process of growing plants in sand, small stones or water with added nutrients (营养物) but not soil,” Kris Maxwell, a
24、 sales employee at GHH said. “For example, certain plants need certain nutrients and pH levels. But dont worry. You can change the hydroponics solutions (溶液) by adding or taking away nutrients, or by changing the PH level, or even by controlling the amount of water in a solution, so that plants get
25、all the nutrients and water requirements they need. There are even different solutions for certain stages in the plants growth.” In this indoor environment, LED lights, which are environmentally friendly, replace the sun. Heaters, coolers, special machines control the temperature and humidity (湿度).
26、Up to 300 plants can grow in one container unit. GHH also sells aeroponic systems. With this system, plants are placed in huge containers where only the roots are put in a solution. Nutrientrich wastes from fish, for example, are filtered and sent through the system. The good thing about this method
27、 is that no fertilizers have to be used because the fish produce all of the necessary nutrients. Another advantage of vertical farming is that no pests will damage your crops. What do you think? Does vertical farming have a bright future?28Which of the following may not be the reason for vertical fa

No computer can match your brains great ability to download, process, and react to the flood of informati

If a bee lands on your foot, sensory neurons (感觉神经元) in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons (运动神经元) to send a message back to your foot: Shake the bee off q
34、uickly! Motor neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour! Your brain has about 100 billion tiny cells: neurons it would take you more than 3,000 years if you tried to count them all. Whenever you dream, laugh, think, see or move, tiny chemical and electrical signals are r

Countless messages fly around inside it every second, like a superfast game of table tennis. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire wor

57、ion (关联) with physical activity, very few have examined the condition of the sidewalks,” said Jamila L. Kwarteng, who led the new study. Kwarteng and her coworkers studied 919 adults in poor and middleclass neighborhoods in Detroit, asking them how much they exercised and how often. The researchers
58、also walked around the neighborhoods and studied the condition of sidewalks and streets. According to the results, people who lived near more uneven (不平坦的) sidewalks would be less active. That was especially the case for younger people, “We found that better sidewalk condition was associated with in

Kwarteng said although its possible that sidewalk condition affects how much time people spend outside being active, its only one way. “Another reason for the result is that people hating physical activity choose to live in neighborho
