31、ms ( 症状) of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. Fever is one of the most common symptoms. Certain microorganisms (微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. Bacteria and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. After entering the

57、d find it in caves,” said Jut Wynne, one of the researchers who noticed the features (特征) while working on a US Geological Survey Mars Cave Detection Program. Jonathan Clarke, a geologist with the Mars Society of Australia, yesterday described the discovery as exciting. One photo taken at night by a

58、n infrared imager(红外线成像器) showed one hole to be unusually warm, suggesting hot air may be flowing out. “I said: Wow, thats a cave” Dr. Clarke said excitedly. “People have been looking for these for a long time; now we have found them.” He agreed such caves could be perfect places to search for life

59、escaping from the bitterly cold, radiation-soaked(充满辐射的), dry surface. “Tiny drops of water could collect inside,” he said. “If there are gases coming out, they could provide energy for a whole range of bacteria (细菌). A cave is also a protection from radiation; the surface of Mars is exposed to high

60、 levels of space radiation.” The caves probably formed when tube-shaped lava flows(管状岩浆流) spread across the planet long ago. The outside of the tubes cooled, forming solid walls, while something hotter inside allowed the remaining to flow out, forming caves. 56. What does the passage mainly talk abo
