11、ere looking for smart ways to reuse food waste when they figured out how to make nanofibers（纳米纤维）out of leftovers from carrot juice.The cellulose（纤维素）in carrots and other root vegetables,unlike other fibrous materials like wood or cotton,is easy to separate out from the rest of the biowaste.The scie

12、ntists call the material Curran,after the Gaelic word for carrot.And they set out to show that it could be used to replace glass or carbon fibers.They say its nearly twice as strong and slightly lighter than carbon.They would just go to buy in their local grocery store.But they soon realized that th

13、e carrot actually worked well and that they could turn to agricultural waste to source their material.They found that the smartest,most ecologically responsible use for the nanofibers was for protective sporting goods.And in particular,motorcycle helmets,which have to be both strong and light.Thats

14、right: Motorcycle helmets of the future might be made from carrots,not carbon.The question here,first of all,was to see what could be a possible market for such a new fiber,from an ecological point but also from the economic and technical angles too,David Hepworth says.Thats where the helmet comes i

15、n.They found that protective sporting goods,which need stiff,strong,light fibers and low economic overhead,were some of the best use cases for Curran.David Hepworth and his team are also looking at the possibility of using it in surfboards and insulation（隔离板）for mobile homes.The challenge now is tak

16、ing the material from the lab to mass production.And,making sure that its still ecologically smart on a grander scale.It doesnt make sense to develop a material from biowaste if theres no use for it.Or if turning it into a useable product takes more energy than the non-renewable choice.1、Why was the

I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people w

20、ho felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking

21、them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inc

It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because th

They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.Lucky people are more

24、relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attit

Dstudent, Rasmus Erlandsson, studied an extremely threatened species, the Scandinavian arctic fox. The current population numbers are fewer than 150 individuals in mainland Europe so

29、many of the young foxes are having difficulty finding a non-related partner. Other threats to the species include competition from the red fox for the rare small rodents (啮齿目动物) they both depend upon for food. Angerbjorn and Erlandsson monitored the arctic fox population in Vasterbotten and Norrbott

This included tagging (贴标签于) the baby foxes, which proved to be a challenge.“When catching arctic foxes it is easy to believe that the smaller ones are the easiest to handle. In some aspects it is true. Their teeth are smaller

31、and the jaws less powerful. However, just as human children have a hard time keeping still, the really small cubs (幼兽) do too.”“We handle the foxes in a bag while tagging, and the trick is to keep the animal still between your legs while kneeling. And here comes the tricky part. How do you keep a sm

32、all, wild fox still? You cannot apply too much force. You really do not want to hurt it. Just as with small children the best tool is patience, but at the same time you want the handling to be as short as possible.”“One particular cub had a technique I had never experienced before as it continuously

33、 tried to turn onto its back, for no obvious reason. I had to reach the ears, so I quickly turned the cub upright. The cub stayed still for a few seconds, and then began to roll onto its back again. The same thing happened over and over again! Finally, I got the tags in place, and after making measu

It has been regarded as the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it

37、s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation(营销效应) in recent ye

38、ars. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers (零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 a. m. and offer special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quan

39、tities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that theyll be the first in line when the doors open.But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday

40、” to describe the heavy traffic that would block city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.Businesses, however, didnt like the negative tone associated with the “Black Friday” name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to spread. According

41、to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms (会计行业), operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually sho

42、wn in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday or who just dont want to fight the crowds, the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cyber Monday (网络星期一) for the man
