This invention was the result of a ninth grade science project, but Makosinskis goal was _24_（offer）a practical solution to people with u

She had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration,”Makosinski explained.“Ive always b

19、een interested in doing science projects, so I thought, why dont I find a way to provide her and a lot of other people with light?” The Hollow Flashlight is made from Peltier tiles（珀耳贴贴片）that produce energy when one side _26_（heat）and the other side remains cool.

It

23、 has long been assumed that animal facial expressions are involuntary and dependent on emotional state rather than a way to communicate. But scientists at the Universitys Dog Cognition Centre at Portsmouth University have found that dogs mostly use facial expressions when humans are present, as a di

24、rect response to attention. Puppy dog eyes, in which the _31_ is raised to make the eyes appear wider and sadder, was found to be the most _32_ used expression in the study. Researchers do not know whether the dogs are aware they look sadder, or have just learned that widening their eyes invites _33

25、_ and affection in humans. Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski: “We can now be _34_ that the production of facial expressions made by dogs are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are not just a result of dogs being excited.” “In our study they produced far more expressions wh

26、en someone was watching, but seeing food _35_ did not have the same effect.” “The findings appear to support evidence dogs are _36_ to humans attention and that expressions are _37_ active attempts to communicate, not simple emotional displays.” The researchers studied 24 dogs of various breeds, age

27、d one to 12. All were family pets. Each dog was tied by a lead a metre away from a person, and the dogs faces were _38_ throughout a range of exchanges, from the person being oriented towards the dog, to being distracted and with her body turned away from the dog. 页12 共/ 页3 第 They found that when a

28、human was not watching the animal, they _39_ facial expressions. Dr Kaminski said it is possible that dogs expressions have evolved as they were _40_. “Domestic dogs have a unique history they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on

30、old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being _41_ with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over

31、the house, much pleased with my whistle, but _42_ all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the _43_ I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed

32、 at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more _44_ than the whistle gave me pleasure. _45_, this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was _46_ to buy something I did not need, I said to myself

33、, “Dont give too much for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and _47_ the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.” If I knew a miser（守财奴）who _48_ every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to

34、 others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, _49_ gathering and keeping wealth- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but _50_ devoted himself to having a good time, per

35、haps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing _51_ for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of _52_ who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his _53_, and for which he had run into debt, and

36、 ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” _54_, the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) _55_ value on things - to giving “too much for their whistle.” 41.
