13、n the past, Chinese women had no right to receive formal education. But this doesnt mean they made on efforts to learn. One piece of evidence is Nshu - a written language used especially by women.A Nshu museum opened on Puwei Island, Jiangyang county, Hunan province in May 2007. This beautiful islan

This year, according to Xinhua, many tourists visited the museum to appreciate the unique culture of Nshu.Centuries ago, Nshu was taught to girls by elderly women in their homes. During village gatherings, women would use the characters to write poems. This wa

15、y, they expressed the emotions they usually kept hidden from men.Worried that this ancient culture will soon disappear, Zhao Liming, a - 5 -professor at Tsinghua University, started a project in 2017 with the hope of keeping Nshu alive. One of the projects biggest achievements is an app designed to

16、teach Nshu to more people.Many old poems written in Nshu were created by women who wanted to express the difficulties they faced, and how they make it through those hardships. “The words were full of encouragement and positive energy, and showed an uncommon open-mindedness among women at the time, Z

17、hao said.Ji Xianlin, the late linguist (语言学家), once wrote that Nshu is a feminist (男女平等主义者) symbol, since “it was created by talented women who were deprived(剥夺) of the right to education.” This might be why this ancient culture still has significance in modern times.“After public education was esta

18、blished and women got the right to attend school, Nshu lost its functionality (功能),” Zhao said. “However, feminist ideas are getting more popular today.”21.

21、 exactly do plants “know” when to flower?It is a question that has puzzled biologists for years. But according to Science Daily, a US research group may have finally answered it-the secret lies in a protein called FKF1 which allows plants to sense the differences in day lengths so that they can tell

22、 the seasons are changing. They found that the protein can be activated (激活) by sunlight.Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon throughout the year. If there is no light at this time, for example, in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein wont be activated. But when sp

23、ring comes and the days get longer, the protein can be activated by day-light and the plants “know” it is time to flower. Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in some experimental plants, they believe it is similar in many other plants, including crops like rice and whea

24、t. This could be useful to the agricultural industry.“If we can control the timing of flowering, we might be able to increase crop production by speeding or delaying this, said Takato Imaizumi, assistant professor at the University of Washington and leader of the study. “Also, if we could control th

29、here theyll remain.Sadly, when I moved to another city 8 years ago, I didnt get to see them as much as I wanted to. Something always seemed to get in my way - work, my dogs and, yes, the money to fly up for regular visits.I was too late to whisper in their ears what they meant to me and to thank the
