19、s for the sponge stuck onto her mouth, it allows her to clear away the sand without injuring herself on broken pieces of coral, or maybe even suffering the sting（刺痛）of the scorpion fish. The extra work it takes to catch a fish like the sand perch is worth it because they tend to be fattier. And for

The fish dashes off for a few yards and then hesitates, waiting for a moment before burying itself in the sand again.

They found stars that may have been classified into the wrong groups as well as star groups that could belong to larger groupings.“Rather than look up one database and then another database, why not fly there and look at them all together,” Higashio said. She watched these
28、 simulations hundreds, maybe thousands of times, and said the associations between the groups of stars became more intuitive inside the artificial cosmos (宇宙) found within the VR headset. Observing stars in VR will redefine astronomers understanding of some individual stars as well as star groupings
29、.The 3D visualization helped her and Kuchner open a window into the past. “We often find groups of young stars moving together, suggesting that they all formed at the same time,” Kuchner said. “The thinking is they represent a star-formation event.

33、te only existed in Central America, in a form quite different from what we know. As far back as 1900 BCE, the people in Central America had learned to mix the beans of the native cacao trees with corn powder (粉) and chili peppers to create a drink - not a relaxing cup of hot cocoa, but a bitter mixt
34、ure. They believed that the cacao was a heavenly food. They used cacao beans as money, drank chocolate at royal feasts, gave it to soldiers as a reward for success in battles, and used it in religious ceremonies. After the colonists (移民) visited Central America in 1519, they returned with shipments
35、of the strange new beans. At first, its bitter taste made it suitable as a medicine for illnesses, but sweetening it with honey or sugar quickly made chocolate popular food in the Spanish court. Nevertheless, the fashionable drink was difficult and time consuming to produce on a large scale (大规模地).
36、The world of chocolate would change forever in 1828 with the invention of the cocoa press, which could separate the natural fat or cocoa butter. This left a powder that could be mixed into a drinkable solution or recombined with the cocoa butter to create the solid chocolate we know today. By the 20
37、th century, chocolate was no longer a luxury, but had become a treat for the public. Yet along with the growth of the industry, there have been horrific abuses of human rights. Many of the plantations throughout West Africa use slave and child labor. This is a complex problem that remains despite ef

I believe that relationships are key to leading a fulfilling and contented life. Like anything worth having in life, they take some work to develop and maintain.In the spirit of cl
43、arity, its good idea to take a quick look at the definition of interpersonal relationships. 36 This can extend from family to friends, to work associates, to neighbors, or clubs and on and on. It can be a relationship in any context or situation.For instance, Ive had strong short-lived relationships
44、 with people Ive worked with on a project as well as one for 50 years with my brother. My two best friends and I live in different cities but, we get together several times a year and have a great time. I have a mentor I worked with over a decade ago I still stay in touch with because we get along s
45、o well. 37 We will briefly touch on developing interpersonal relationships. Best way to approach it is to be a good partner or friend as the situation desires. 38 Do your part and help others as needed. Be a contributor who is also willing to help out when needed. As a friend, you simply follow the
46、age-old piece of advice “to have a friend, you must first be a friend”. 39 That want-to-help attitude will put you with like-minded individuals who youll probably hit it off with. The main thing to remember is great interpersonal relationships can get formed any place or situation where you interact
47、 with other people. 40 A. Thats how interpersonal relationship affects you.B. Interpersonal relationships serve to ease peoples anxiety.C. For instance, ensure you are a good person to work with.D. All of these are examples of strong interpersonal relationships.E. Put some effort into it and youd be
48、 amazed at how that pays offF. An interpersonal relationship is a strong association between people.G.
