26、pain,headacheandotherproblems. Some pollutantscan causebreathing disorders, diseases of blood cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they

27、 did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now knownto let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal wi

28、th it. They discovered a natural pollution for building-green plants. Scientists really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorbor take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists

29、suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metresofspace.Studiesofdifferentplantsshowthateachabsorbsdifferentchemicals.Sothemosteffective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants.

We provide the robot with seeing detectors（ 探测 器 ） to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Shou

34、ld we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receivingany. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary（进化论的） theory of sleep, evoluti

It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However,

36、 sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory explain

37、s the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleepsomuch,whilehorsessleepsolittle?Surelycatsdonotneedfivetimesasmuchrepairandrestorationas horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating andunlikelytobeattackedwhilethe

Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.The author uses the example of the robot in space explorat

42、e found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of areduction in tele

43、vision viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科at StanfordUniversity. “Americanchildren spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games. And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over past 20 years,”

44、 Robinsin said.In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller i
