10、nited Kingdom and speaks no foreign language, but hearing her speak, you could swear shes a Russian immigrant(移民)or a tourist, because of her Eastern European accent. But the funny thing is that she sometimes sounds French, Italian or even Polish, depending on how tired she is.31 -year-old Emilys li

11、fe changed greatly in January, when a mysterious condition left her unable to speak for two months. Shed had headaches for two weeks before one day developing a deeper voice suddenly. Her colleagues at a childrens home then noticed her speech had become slow and unclear, both signs of a stroke(中风).

12、By the time she was rushed to the hospital, Emily had lost her ability to speak completely, but after running some tests, doctors ruled out the stroke, instead blaming her voice loss on some sort of injury to her brain.After spending three weeks in the hospital, Emily Egan was still unable to speak

13、and relied only on basic sign language shed picked up at work and a text-to-speech app on her phone to communicate. A doctor encouraged her to go on a vacation in Thailand she and her husband had already booked, and to try and relax as much as possible. She did just that and a few days into the vaca

14、tion, she started to speak again.I was so thrilled when my voice started coming back but now I dont even discern the voice that comes out of my mouth. It doesnt sound like me, Egan said. Ever since her voice came back, shes taken time off work because stress only makes her condition worse.What has h

18、d after three weeks treatment.CA relative of starfish doesnt have eyes, but can sill see. That information comes from scientists who studied sea creatures in the coral reefs of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico.The researchers reported this month that the starfishs relative-called the red brittle sta

19、r-is only the second creature known to be able to see without having eyes. This ability is call extraocular vision(眼外视觉). The other creature said to have extraocular vision is a kind of sea urchin.Brittle stars, with five arms extending from a central disk, are part of a group of sea life called ech

20、inoderms. They have a nervous system but no brain. The red brittle star measures up to about 35 centimeters wide, from the end of one arm to the other. It lives in bright and complex environments. Because of the possibility of being eaten by fish, the creature hides during daylight hours.The red bri

21、ttles star possesses extraocular vision as a result of light-sensing cells, called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors cover its body and chromatophores, the cells responsible for coloring. During the daytime, the chromatophores narrow the field of light being detected, making each photoreceptors l

22、ike the pixel(像素) of a computer image. When combined with other pixels, the image becomes complete.The visual system doesnt work at night. Laboratory experiments suggested that the brittle stars have very simple vision. Placed in a circular environment, for example, they moved toward walls that were

23、 white with a black bar, suggestive of al daytime hiding place.Lauren Sumner-Rooney is a research fellow at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. She led the study. She said, Its such a different concept for us, as very visually driven animals, to imagine how an animal might see its habit

24、at without eyes, but now we know of two examples.28. Whats researchers new finding about the red brittle star?A. It is a relative of starfish. B. It lives in the coral reefs.C. It has a very rare ability. D. It is a sea creature.29. Whats the authors purpose in writing paragraph 3?A. To give: reason

27、ature Sees Without EyesDA research team led by UCLA materials scientists has shown ways to make super white paint that reflects as much as 98% of incoming heat from the sun. The advance shows practical pathways for designing paints that, if used on rooftops and other parts of a building, could great

28、ly reduce cooling costs, beyond what standard white cool-roof paints can achieve.When you wear a white T-shirt on a hot sunny day, you feel cooler than if you wear one thats darker in color- thats because the white shirt reflects more sunlight and its the same concept for buildings, said Aaswath Ram

29、an, a researcher of the study. A roof painted white will be cooler inside than one in a darker shade by rejecting heat at infrared(红外线的) wavelengths, which we humans cannot see with our eyes. This super white paint could allow buildings to cool down even more by radiative(辐射的) cooling.The best perfo

30、rming white paints now available typically reflect around 85% of incoming sun heat. The remainder is absorbed by the chemical makeup of the paint. The researchers showed that simple changes in a paints ingredients could offer a big jump, reflecting as much as 98% of incoming radiation. The potential

31、 cooling benefits this super white paint can achieve may be realized in the near future because the changes suggested are within the abilities of the paint and coatings industry.Many cities and governments, including the stale of California and New York City, have started to encourage cool-roof tech

32、nologies for new buildings. We hope that the work will inspire future creativity in super-white coatings for not only energy savings in buildings, but also lessening the heat island effects of cities, and perhaps even showing a practical way that, if applied globally, could affect climate change, said Raman, who has studied cooling paint technologies for several years, This would require experts in diverse fields to work together.32. Whats the function of the super white paint?
