16、formBA South Korean man and the 21 ducklings he has been raising as his children ever since they hatched have been breaking the internet with their amazing bond. A video that recently went viral in the western world shows the cute birds following their “mother” on a mountain hike and listening to hi
17、s every command.The middle-aged man, whose name is not revealed in the video, has been taking care of his 21 ducklings ever since they were eggs, making sure the incubation( 孵 化 ) period went smoothly, and even helping the tiny birds break through their shell when it came time to hatch. He was the f
18、irst thing they laid eyes on in this world, and he has remained the most important figure in their lives since.Ducklings naturally follow their mother around, and since the man was the one who acted as their mother, these birds follow him everywhere, even up a mountain. To them its only natural, but
19、 the middle-aged man considers it training and conditioning for the time when he finally releases them into the wild. He would love to raise them all as pets, but knows that wouldnt be ideal for him or the birds, so hes making sure that they are strong enough to survive in the wild.The video shows t

Amazing bond between man and animalsCWhen Zbynek Frolik needed new employees to handle increasing orders at his factories in central Bohemia, he sent out advertisements across the Czech Republic. But in a p
25、rosperous economy where nearly everyone had work, there were few takers. Raising wages didnt help. Nor did offers to subsidize(补贴) housing. So he turned to the robots.“We cant find enough humans,” said Mr. Frolik, whose company, Linet, makes hospital beds sold in over 100 countries. “So were trying
26、to replace people with machines wherever we can.”Such talk usually makes people think of a future where employees are no longer needed. In many major economies, companies are experimenting with replacing factory workers, truck drivers and even lawyers with artificial intelligence.But in Eastern Euro
27、pe, robots are being enlisted as the solution for a shortage of workers. Often they are helping to create new types of jobs as businesses in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland try to stay competitive. Economic growth in these countries has averaged 5 percent in recent years, affected b
28、y the global recovery. A booming economy has reduced the jobless rate to just 2.4 percent, the lowest in the European Union.The lack of manpower, however, has limited the ability of Czech companies to expand. Nearly a third of them have started to turn away orders, according to the Czech Confederati

At Elko EP, which makes industrial timer
30、s for companies like General Electric, 70 percent of production is automated, and the company is aiming to be almost5 6fully robotized in a few years. In a corner of the factory, robots have taken over routine manufacturing(制造业) tasks. Jiri Konecny, the companys CEO, moved factory floor workers to m

34、hile you relaxed on the sofa with a movie, the raindrops falling on your windows might one day provide the power for your TV. This is the idea behind an invention that harvests energy from water.The technology is based on the triboelectric (摩擦电的)effect. An engineer at the University of Hawaii, David
35、 Ma knew that its possible to generate electricity by rubbing two things together. So, he thought, “Why dont we use water?”A drop of water sliding across a surface coated with two different materials would generate enough friction to create an electrical charge. By placing metal wires that the drop
36、of water touched as it moved, it should be possible to harvest electricity, he reasoned.It worked. In fact, the researchers lit up 15 LED bulbs with a single moving water drop.This is not the first time that scientists have got electricity from water-generated friction( 摩 擦 ). Earlier experiments, t
37、hough, harvested the charge produced in a surface by a sliding drop of water. There, the surface had acted as an electrode(电极). This is different. The energy of friction is being harvested from the water itself.“It turns out,” Ma says, “the charge in the water drop is way more than the charge
38、produced in the other electrode.” In fact, his teams model generated almost 100 times more power than previous experiments from a single drop of water.“The technology could someday power phones, sensors or other small electronics,” says Christopher Oshman, an engineer at the Colorado School of Mines
39、. “This work is a step toward harvesting the energy of moving objects all around us, including ourselves, to power the electronic appliances we use every day,” he says.Ma has shown that the technology can work in a lab, Oshman says. Next, the Colorado researcher would like to see it tried on a large

43、aid there are four major ways that sound affects human. What do fire alarms, car noises and alarm clocks all have in common? Their sound affects us physiologically ( 生 理 上 地 ). 36 Heart rate increases and breath quickens as the body prepares to fight a possible threat or run for survival. But
44、a physiological response to sound isn't always upsetting. The rhythmic(有节奏 的 ) frequency of ocean waves roughly matches the rhythm of a sleeping persons breathing . 37 The second way sound affects us is psychological it makes us feel. Have you ever heard a piece of music that
45、makes you sad? Whether its a sad song that brings tears to your eyes or a funny song that makes you laugh, music can make us feel a range of emotions. 38 When we hear the comforting singing of birds, we know things are good and safe.39 The brain tries to get meaning from t
46、he words and sentences we hear. When your mom, dad, and little brother are all talking at once at the dinner table, the competing voices make it hard to focus. Our brains have a very small bandwidth for processing auditory ( 听 觉 的 ) input, says Treasure. No wonder it's annoying when someone keeps talking during a movie!Finally, sound may cause behavioral changes. 40 People tend to walk away from loud or annoying sounds and toward pleasant sounds.Next time a fire
