An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman

37、recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They

43、e All the Bees Gone?Scientists who study insects have a real mystery on their hands. All across the country, honey bees are leaving their hives(蜂巢) and never returning. Researchers call this phenomenon colony-collapse(群体瘫痪) disorder. It is reposed that 25 to 40 percent of the honeybees in the US hav

44、e vanished from their hives since last fall. So far, no one can explain why.Colony collapse is a serious concern because bees play an important role in the production of about one-third of the foods we eat.

Moreover, they have high levels of bacteria inside their bodies.Another cause of colony-collapse disorder may be certain chemicals that farmers apply to kill unwanted insects on crops, says Jerry Hayes, chief bee inspector for the Florida Department of Agriculture. Some studies, he says, sugg

49、est that a certain type of insecticide (杀虫剂)affects the honeybees newels system and memory. “It seems like honeybees are going out and getting confused about where to go and what to do. “ he says.If it turns out that a disease is contributing to colony collapse, bees genes could explain why some colonies have collapsed and
