32、for BreadC. The Star from the Prison D. A Concert at the PrisonCScientists at the University of Bonn carried out extensive research to show that the water-drops rolling off a lotus（莲花）leaf carry away dirt, leaving the surface perfectly clean. This phenomena has been named the “Lotus Effect” and work

33、s best on rough surfaces.Contrary to popular belief, lotus leaves are not smooth at all. When examined under a powerful microscope, the leaf cells show a bumpy surface. That makes the surface rough. As a result, dirt rests only on the tips of the wax crystals（蜡晶体）covering the leaf surface. The rough

34、ness reduces the contact area between the dirt and the leaf surface. A rough surface structure with wax crystals makes it impossible for water to stick. Due to the friction（摩擦力），the water contracts at once. It forms round waterdrops to minimize the contact area with the rough, waxy leaf surface and

35、runs off the leaf very quickly. Since the dirt only rests on the tips of the wax crystals they stick more strongly to the waterdrops than to the leaf surfaces. They are washed away when the water falls on the leaves.On smooth leaves, the dirt is pushed from one part of the leaf to the other. This is

36、 because the dirt has a larger contact area where they can rest comfortably on the flat surface. We must also keep in mind that water usually spreads and only partially runs off the leaves-that too, only if the leaf is tilted! The dirt may get driven, but they are mainly displaced from one side of t

37、he leaf to the other.Scientists say that the “Lotus Effect” is particularly beneficial for it helps to protect the lotus leaves from harmful bacteria.

The rough and waxy leaf surface reduces the friction.B. The smooth leaf surface makes waterdrops roll down.C. The

40、contact area between drops and leaves is too large.D. The waterdrops fall on the leaves at a too high speed.11. What is the benefit of “Lotus Effect” ?A. It can help the lotus grow healthily.B.

42、ob.Is getting up early for everyone? No. Theres been lots of research about how some people are biologically more likely to feel more alert（机敏的）in the morning, while others are at their best at night. You might be more alert and have better cognitive (认知的) ability in the afternoon, for instance. So,

43、 if you dont naturally feel alert in the morning but decide to wake up early anyway, you might be disturbing your actual top performance times.

44、oice about what time they start the day.Getting up early doesnt necessarily translate to instant success at the office. In fact, depending on the person, it could end up having a negative effect.

45、ashion. An even worse condition may arise if youre actually reducing sleep to become an early riser. Sacrificing sleep means you may be hit by the many negative effects of sleep lack. Getting a full nights sleep and getting the same amount of sleep at the same time each night are both important. So

46、if early rising means cutting sleep, dont do it.What should you do? Dont listen to thought-leaders or Linkedln influencers but figure out what works best for you. Pay attention to when you feel most tired and most awake. Make a note of the times you fall asleep and wake up naturally. Try to adjust y

47、our schedule to those times, as thats how youll tap into most of your natural energy for the day ahead. And above all, its getting adequate amounts of sleep.12.

68、you ever wondered why overhearing a cellphone conversation is so annoying? American researchers think they have found the answer.Scientists at Cornell University say that whether in the office, on a train or in a car, only half of the conversation is overheard, and this draws more attention and conc

69、entration than when overhearing two people talking.“We have less control to move away our attention from half a conversation(or half a dialogue)than when listening to a dialogue,” said Lauren Emberson, a co-author of the study that will be published in the journal Psychological Science. “Since half

70、a dialogue really is more distracting and you cant tune them out, this could explain why people are irritated.”Emberson also said that in such a situation people try to make sense of snippets of conversation and predict what speakers will say next. “When you hear half of a conversation, you get less

71、 information and you cant predict as well,” she said. “It requires more attention.”The finding by Emberson and her co-author Michael Goldstein are based on research involving 41 college students who did concentration exercises, like tracking moving dots, while hearing one or both parties during a cell phone conversation. The students made more errors when they heard only part of the conversation than when they overheard the entire dialogue.
