20、als meet, it creates a temperature difference so that one side heats up and the other side cools down. Such heat-exchange equipment also needs fans to blow away the heat. We were able to reduce the weight and get rid of the need for a fan, Vistakula told Innovation News Daily. That made it very suit
21、able to put it into clothes.The current clothing runs on a range of laptop batteries(电池)that can support up to eight hours of hot or cold comfort. Aside from shoes, jackets and bike helmets, the startup also sells knee and elbow packs that provide hot or cold therapy(疗法)for aching joints. Thats just
22、 the beginning, as the 20-person team tries many new and different applications(应用)in the search to find what works. They have their eyes set on a HaemoSave application that could use freezing temperatures to control bleeding, and pain during medical emergencies. Thats at a very early stage, Vistaku
23、la explained.It works for superficial(表面的)wounds, but we have to do deeper wounds and see what happens. In another case, tests with jackets adapted for cows succeeded in enabling the cows to produce more milk. But the current costs mean that farmers cant afford such equipment-at least not until the
24、company scales up its production and lowers the price.Its an ambitious goal, but their confidence is supported by the startups innovation(创新)philosophy.

31、lking to strangers without any ill intention, but life would be more interesting if more of us knew how to do it.And thats why I cant be as cynical as I probably should be about Tube Chat campaign launched to encourage Britons to talk to each other. All anyone is being asked to do is to start a conv
32、ersation they wouldnt otherwise have had-maybe with a friend from whom theyve been apart or a neighbor they dont know.Obviously, it takes more than a bit of small talk over garden fences to unite strangers together. More people live alone than did so a generation ago, and the rise in freelancing(自由职
33、业)means more of us work alone too. We socialize increasingly through screens, sending texts instead of bothering to call.Its true that the Tube Chat campaign of a few years back failed in its attempts to make Londoners talk to each other on public transport. But even city people who would normally d

40、ntirely our fault, according to a study published Monday.Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species(物种)and pushed many more to the edge(边缘)of extinction through wildlife trade, pollution and habitat loss. (33) Gerardo Ceballos Gonzalez, a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous Univer
41、sity of Mexico, said approximately 173 species died out between 2001 and 2014, which is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal, background, extinction speed.(34) There have been five mass extinction(大规模灭绝)events in the Earths history, each wiping out between 70% and 95%
42、 of the species of plants, animals and microorganisms. The most recent, 66 million years ago, saw dinosaurs disappear.The past events were caused by terrible changes of the environment. The sixth mass extinction-the one happening now-is different: its caused by humans.(35) But it took millions of ye
43、ars to restore(恢复)the number of species.When one species in the ecosystem disappears, it destroys the entire ecosystem and pushes other species toward destruction. (36) Hundreds of species of frogs are suffering population decrease and extinctions because of the chytrid fungus(真菌)disease, which is s
44、ometimes spread into new areas by humans. Climate change is likely making it worse.(37) The researchers also said the current COVID-19 shows how the carelessness with which people treat the natural world can backfire badly.The researchers said this data highlights the urgency(紧急)with which the world

The girl nods. Johnson met her-and her Danish mo
48、ther and English father-at the airport, on the way to Denmark. The parents were eager to discuss their experience of bringing up their daughter bilingually(双语)in London. It isnt easy: the husband does not speak Danish, so the child hears the language only from her mother, who has come to accept that
49、 her daughter will reply in English.This can be painful. Not sharing your first language with loved ones is hard. Not passing it onto your own child can be especially hard. Many immigrant parents feel a sense of failure; they are worried and share stories on parenting forums and social media, hoping
50、 to find the secret to bringing up bilingual children successfully.Children are linguistic sponges(海绵), but this doesnt mean that brief exposure(接触)is enough. They must hear a language quite a bit to understand it-and use it often to be able to speak it comfortably. This is mental work, and a child
51、who doesnt have a motive(动机)to speak a language-either a need or a strong desire-will often avoid it. Childrens brains are already busy enough.So languages often fade and die when parents move abroad. Consider America. The foreign-born share of the population is 13.7%, and has never been lower than
52、4.7% (in 1970). And yet foreign-language speakers dont increase: today just 25% of the population speaks another language. Thats because, usually, the first generation born in America is bilingual, and the second is monolingual(单语)-in English, the children often struggling to speak easily with their
53、 immigrant grandparents.In the past, governments discouraged immigrant families from keeping their languages. These days, officials tend to be tolerant; some even see a valuable resource in immigrants language abilities. Yet many factors ensure that children still lose their parents languages, or ne
