The eye-like patterns on butterfly wings are known to preventpreying birds and woodcutters in Indian forests wear ma

11、sks on the backs of their heads when working to discourage hungry tigers.The inspiration for the iCow strategy came while Jordan was based in a villagein Botswana, when two lionesses were killed by local farme rs to revenge their cattle s death. The African lion is a vulnerable species, with numbers

12、 dropping from over100,000 in the 1990s to about 30,000 today. Much of that decline is due to these kinds of revengeful killings because farmers have no effective strategies for protecting their herds.Lions are hunters that like to attack by surprise. They move slowly, quietlyand carefully to their

13、prey, get close and jump on them unseen,“ he said. WhenJordan was watching a lion follow an antelope one day, he noticed the lion gave up the hunt once the antelope spotted it.So he joined one of the local farmers on a 10-week trial study, painting eyes on one-third of a herd of 62 cattle. When the

14、cattle returned each night, they tooka head count to see how many had survived. Only three cows were killed by lions duringthis period-all without the painted eyes on their behinds.

17、butterfly wings.BConformity involves changing your behaviour to“fit in or go along” withthe people around you. In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a particular way to be viewed as“normal by

18、 the group. Actually, conformityis something that happens re gularly in our social world. Sometimes we re aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we disagree with or behave in ways we know we

19、shouldn t.There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a certain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. Whenshe attends her book club meeting, the oth

20、er members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the others that the book is terrible.Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpful. Others might have greater knowledge or

21、 experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cases, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we aren t quite sure how to act. Additionally, there are some situation

22、s where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.There are many factors that influence conformity. For example, not knowing howto perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to achieve and strong leadership abilities

23、are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations that involve between three and five other people.What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph?Actually it is rare for us to conform.Blind conformity should be criticized.Sometimes peop

24、le tend to conform unconsciously.Conformity means changing your behaviour reluctantly.Which of the following is a case of conformity?Joining a certain organization.Following the ongoing fashion.Sharing something personal with others.Giving up your creative ideas cautiously.When are we most likely to

25、 conform according to the text?A. When we are at a loss.B. When we are rejected.C. When we feel threatened.D. Whenwe feel uncomfortable.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?Conformity cannot be avoided by anyone.Conformity is linked to the size of the group.Conformity is a natural response t

26、o challenges.Conformity isn t related to individual differences.COver a decade ago, scientists already recognized the potential smart cloths with sensors （传感器）could improve well-being. Nowadays the industry is starting to target specific health conditions. One example is diabetes. Now, Siren Care ha

27、s developed an injury-detecting sock that could help people with diabetes prevent disability.Early detection is important in this process. Since skin ulcers （溃疡）are accompanied by a rise in temperature, studies show that detecting foot skin temperature at home could significantly reduce skin ulcers.

28、 Based on this, Siren produced a sock that can measure foot temperature in real time.What s special about Siren s product is that the sensors exist in the fabric of the sock. The product is powered by“SirenSmart” , a kind of electronic yarn （ 纱线）.They weave the yarn into a sock using ordinary weavin

29、g machines and connect the final product to a PCBbattery, whose lifetime is two months if used daily. The socksare only on when they re worn ; they go into sleep mode when off.All data from the socks is sent to the Siren app using Bluetooth technology, so the user can know the condition of his/her f

30、eet in real time. The application gives foot health scores and, when necessary, warns the user to adjust activity or see a healthcare professional.Ran Ma, the company s CEO, explains the sock can tell the user when to see adoctor. The socks are machine-washable, and don t need to be charged. Every s

31、ix months, the user gets a new box with seven pairs of socks to replace the used ones.Siren presented their product this year in Las Vegas and announced tha t they re planning to start shipping their socks this summer. More excitingly, Siren is already planning future applications that will go beyon

35、rganisms trapped in crystals （晶体）that could be50,000 years old.The organisms were found in a hot, but beautiful cave system in Naica, Mexico.These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope.

37、inds of microbes andsome viruses were found in the underground area. The genetic structures of theseorganisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives.The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep.

Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20 minutes at a time before they had to go to a room thatwas 38 degrees Celsius to cool down.NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific expertsbefore last week s announce

40、ment. So scientists could not say much about the findings.But Norine Noonan, a biologist with the University of South Florida, said she believed them. Why are we surprised? ” Noonan asked. As a biologist, I would say life on earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful.”Boston is also studying mi
