21、l scientists，eager to look into the world around them.Helping them enjoy science can be easy；theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only have to share your childrens curiosity.Firstly，listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of sevenyearolds to talk a
22、bout science as a job.The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling，salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering，we sat facing one another in silence.Finally I said，“Now that were finished with your lists，do you have questions of your own about science？”After a long pause

24、ally wait only one second or less for an answer，no time for a child to think.When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more，children give more logical，complete and creative answers.Thirdly，watch your language.Once you have a child involved in a science discussion，dont jump in with “
25、Thats right” or “Very good”These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.But in talking about science，quick praise can signal that discussion is over.Instead，keep things going by saying “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it in that way before”，or coming up with more quest
26、ions or ideas.Never push a child to “think”It doesnt make sense.Children are always thinking，without your telling them to.Whats more，this can turn a conversation into a performance.The child will try to find the answer you want，in as few words as possible，so that he will be a smaller target for your

35、tate University report in the latest issue of Science.Scientists have changed the color of a dark-striped zebrafish（斑马鱼） to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment (色素) gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanin (黑色素)
36、. The number, size and darkness of melanin per pigment cell determine skin color.It appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned Europeans also have a mutation (变异) in the gene for melanin production. This results in less pigmented skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, po
37、ints out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun (太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.But when modern humans leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they need
38、more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene changes, according to Cheng.Asians have the same version of the gene as Africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to
