16、ew years before were now curable. However, Surgeons had one problem. They had restricted access to dead bodies to dissect (解剖), which was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body and the only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.The job of finding the
17、se dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people called “body snatchers”. They went into graveyards at night and dug up any recently buried bodies. Then they took the bodies to the medical schools and sold them. A body could be sold for between5 and 10, which was a lot of money at tha
18、t time.The most famous of these body snatchers was a man from Edinburgh called William Burke. He was different because he did not just dig up bodies from graveyards. He got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies. Instead of digging them up, he killed the poorer guests in his small hotel.
19、 Dr. Knox, the respected surgeon he worked for, never asked why all the bodies he brought him had been strangled (勒死).Burke was eventually arrested and put on trial in 1829. The judge showed no mercy to him and his punishment was to be hanged. Appropriately, his body was given to the medical school
20、and he ended up on the dissecting table, just like his victims.Now, over 180 years later, surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their skills. However, the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather gruesome help.4. What problem did the British surgeons in the earl

24、ought.One might think that our impressive water management would safeguard society from such catastrophic events. Yet when it comes to water, the past is no longer a good guide for the future and most of the water engineering is unprepared for consequences of increasingly occurring extreme weather.
25、One of the most alarming wake-up calls came from the city of Cape Town, where the water taps of 4 million residents were nearly forced to be shut off after severe drought dried up its reservoir (水库).Appealing as it might be, the solution is not to further build bigger and higher dams (水坝) that often
26、 result in more disastrous flooding. Rather, it is to work more with natural processes.The Netherlands avoided major damage from the historic floods in July 2021 thanks to its recently completed project, which gives river room to spread out by redirecting floodwaters into wetlands, lowering parts of
27、 the stormy river by more than a foot. Agricultural practices offer another strategy. Scientists have found that boosting organic matter in the soil by 1% can increase the soils water-holding capacity by up to 18,000 gallons per acre, creating flexibility to both intense rains and dry periods. This
28、means farmland practices such as the planting of cover crops can not only raise output but improve water management.Solutions dont come easily, but they are key to a livable future. While its too late to avoid the impacts of climate change, we can avoid the worst of those impacts by investing more i

33、irtual but also synthetic (合成的). Cyphers future meal will be a physical one, synthesized from animal cells.And the synthesis goes beyond dinner. Starting with components from the natural world, scientists are learning to engineer microorganisms and build biocomputing systems. However, biology has a
34、tendency to evolve in unexpected ways.Synthesized meat is one case in point. The driving forces behind the meat movement are practical. It has been estimated that cultured (培育的) meat would require 7 to 45 percent less energy and produce 78 to 96 percent less greenhouse gas than conventional animals
