26、cientists have found a way to hack the plants genes to help make it use sunlight more quickly, which could increase the amount of food produced around the world one day.Plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to make their own food. Scientists find plants use less than 1% of the energy availab

27、le to them. But by hacking a plants genes, scientists are able to increase the amount of leaf growth on plants between 14% and 20%.Specifically, scientists hacked the plants protective system. Normally, this system is activated (激活) when a plant gets too much sunlight, said scientist Krishna Niyogi.

28、 When the plant senses the light, it gets rid of extra energy and creates more leaves. When the plant is in shade, the protective system is turned off.Stephen Long is the lead author of the study. He compared a plants protective system to light-adjusting glasses. When we wear the glasses outside dur

29、ing the day, lenses(镜头)darken or lighten depending on how sunny it is. Plants do the same thing. But in plants the adjustment can take anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour. This makes it hard for plants to get the right amount of sunlight needed to create food.The new study speeds up the process. By

30、changing the plants genes, the protective system turned on and off more quickly than normal. As a result, leaf growth in two plants increased by 20%, while leaf growth on a third plant increased by 14%.“Now that we know it works, it wont be too difficult to do it with other crops,“ said Tang. “If yo

31、u look at crops around the world,“ he said, “it would increase yield many million tons of food.“ It will be at least 15 years before scientists can adjust crops on a large scale, Long says. But he believes the study is a breakthrough.29. The closest meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 2 is_.

34、 party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝 ) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect”.Scientists at the University of

35、 California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought.

That inborn ability has helped hum

Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who arent.Many of t

38、hose accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”, in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they arent focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or

39、played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “Its a push-pull relationship the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M. Beck, an associate professor of psychol

40、ogy at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any k

41、ind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as
