Hwever, their eyes reflect (反射) light, creating shine that can give away their lcatin. Sme tiny crustaceans (甲壳类动物) have develped a way arund this disadvantage. Their eyes are cvered with a sheet f special glass that effectively matches their eyeshine t the clr f surrunding water. In this way, they becme invisible (看不见的). This discvery might help researchers imprve relative technlgies in remte sensing and cmmunicatins.
Discvery 2—Brwn bears seldm suffer frm bld clts (血栓). T find ut hw they d it, scientists tracked dwn brwn bears in Sweden.

Steve Davies, a 23-year-ld bard designer in Wales, is develping a surfbard made frm mycelia (菌丝体) instead f plastic.
A 2022 reprt shwed that mre than 400, 000 bards are made each year. The glbal market fr surfbards reached $2.2 billin in 2020 and is expected t reach $3.2 billin by 2027. But abut 80% f bards are made frm plastic, which can take hundreds f years t break dwn. This will be a serius prblem fr the envirnment as the market grws.
“And even when it des break dwn, it can g int fish’s ecsystem (生态系统), which means that humans will end up eating this plastic,” Davies said.
Davies made his first surfbard in 2020, but the experience shwed him many harmful materials were prduced in making each bard. During his final year at university, he started lking int mycelia and making his belved sprt mre envirnment-friendly.
“My family wns a farm with hrses, s I was quickly able t cllect substrate material (基料) in the frm f hrse bedding, t allw the mycelia t grw in,” Davies explained. “This gave me an idea t start a surfbard business—grwing surfbards n a farm near the beach and using waste materials frm that very same farm, reducing the transprt f materials, and therefre reducing carbn (碳) given ut int the envirnment.”
“In the right cnditins, we will grw a mycelium bard in arund 21 days,” Davies said. “The dream wuld be t make it the new standard. Cnnecting with nature wuld be the new design rules and that wuld be really cl. We’re using the sea and we shuld give back t the sea.”

While scientists have many ideas, they are nt certain why humans yawn(打哈欠). Still, there is ne thing experts knw—yawns seem t be cntagius(传染)!
Have yu ever caught a yawn frm smene else? Mst peple have. In fact, a persn is six times mre likely t yawn after seeing smene else d s. Experts have dne many studies int why yawns seem t pass frm persn t persn. As a result, they have a few theries(理论) fr the reasn behind it.
One pssible explanatin has smething t d with scial mirrring, which is caused by mirrr neurns(镜像神经元) in the brain. These mirrr neurns help the brain ntice useful behavir f thers and then cpy it. When ne persn sees anther yawn, his mirrr neurns bserve the actin and cnsider it t be beneficial. That may cause him t yawn, t.
Anther ppular thery is that yawns are cntagius because f scial relatinships. Being scial creatures, humans frm friendships, families and live tgether in grups. That’s why many peple mirrr thers, such as smiling when anther persn smiles. Yawning may be just anther example f this. In fact, research has shwn that ne is mst likely t catch yawns frm anther persn if the tw share a scial relatinship.
The answer culd even be that yawns aren’t truly cntagius at all. Instead, peple yawn tgether simply because they’re in the same envirnment. Experts say many things may cause yawning, including temperature and time f day. Whatever the explanatin is, experts d knw that cntagius yawns aren’t limited t humans. One study fund that lins in Suth Africa als caught each ther’s yawns.

B. A real explanatin fr cntagius yawning.
C. Other examples f animals yawning tgether.
D. Things that may cause yawning amng humans.

I was wrried. My mther had caught a bad cld. And because f the strm, drugs were nt being delivered.
On the mrning f December 31st the phne rang. It was Mther’s nurse in charge. “The bad cld has seriusly influenced yur mther’s lungs,” she said. “She’s quite in lw spirits, and she’s extremely eager t see yu. Yur cming may raise her spirits and increase her bdy’s ability t fight against the disease. Is there any way yu can get here?”
I felt hpeless because I knew there was n way I culd get there. Like thusands f thers in the city, we were trapped.
Friends suggested I turn t C-FAX, ne f the lcal radi statins. Since the heavy snwstrm struck Victria, C-FAX had canceled its regular prgramming and was nw a cmmunicatin center fr news updates, vlunteer crdinatin (协调) and health and safety tips. In fact, it had becme Victria’s lifeline.
