16、oken deliberates.CEven plant can run a fever, especially when theyre under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other
17、satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely(精确的) target pesticide(杀虫剂) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants that dont have pest
18、 problems. Even better, Paleys Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Fixed on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat sent out by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where pla
19、nts were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide that they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paleys company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find. But with the ren
20、ewed concern about pesticides on produce and refinements(改进) in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that the technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States,” says George Oerther of Texas A
21、& M, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade.

25、ved in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washin
26、gton, Oregon, and Idaho. But that was a brief sweet history.In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off the Rockies on their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill - too weak to defend themselves.Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the
27、 Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks of Clearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white mens greed for land and gold finally broke t
28、he friendship.In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens of Washington Territory invited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the Chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not tou
29、ch it with my hand.”Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave the Wallowa Valley and then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the
30、white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat（撤退） north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stand
31、s I will fight no more forever.”In 1885, Chief Joseph was sent along with many of his band to the Colville Reservation in Washington where Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)12.

36、ence between a joke and life wisdom. 16.I started collecting jokes I received from different sources over a period of some 25 years. For the book I chose for an “Anglo-Saxon” collection.

37、are everywhere, floating anonymously (匿名地) on the internet, and circulate among friends, e-mails, chat groups and mailing lists. Many come up over a beer.The language of humor is not universal and translating into another language mostly does not work. 18. Living in China for a long time, I gave up
38、telling jokes as our Chinese friends find nothing funny in them and they can lead to misunderstandings. 19. Trying to translate Chinese jokes also would mostly fail to convey anything “funny” for us Westerners; I can say I cannot recall any Chinese joke.While at a first sight the book may not be int
39、eresting to Chinese readers, due to the cultural differences, 20, as well as to learn a different vocabulary.
