Clim

45、ate change is steadily warming the seas, which have absorbed about 90 percent of the excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. This warming contributes to sea-level rise, endangers species and influences weather patterns.But tracking the warming is tricky. Ship-based observations capture only snapsho

46、ts in time over a tiny portion of the water. Satellite observations cannot enter very deep below the surface. The most detailed picture of ocean heat comes from Argo, which can drop down to around 6,500 feet. But there are only about 4,000 such floats, and they cannot sample deeper parts of the ocea

47、ns.In Science, researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the Chinese Academy of Sciences compared the travel speeds of sounds produced by undersea earthquakes to detect ocean warming over wider areas. Because sound travels faster in warmer water, differences in speed can reveal chang

48、ing temperatures. Theyre opening up a whole new area of study, says Princeton University geophysicist Frederik Simons, who was not involved in the research.Inspired by those early efforts to measure ocean heat with sound, Caltech researcher Wenbo Wu thought to monitor low-frequency sound waves sent

49、out by earthquakes below the seafloor. “I know these earthquakes are very powerful sources, Wu says, So why not try to use the earthquakes?”He and his team tested the idea near Indonesias island of Nias, where the Indo-Australian Plate is bumping under the Sunda Plate. The researchers gathered sound

50、 data from 4,272 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater from 2004 to 2016, and they compared sound wave speeds from quakes that originated in the same spot over the years. By modeling the differences, often just fractions of a second, they found that the ocean near Nias was warming by about 0.08 degr

The new method is promising, says University of Hawaii oceanographer Bruce Howe, who was not involved in

He notes that finding out the floats precise locations will be challenging, however. Overcoming such challenges would f

Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The m

59、ain character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions.Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chine

60、se performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens o

61、f facial representations of different figures characteristics. Its actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng

62、and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion

63、. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite.Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather

64、 than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to peoples taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said.On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage p

65、erformance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that

66、would probably go unnoticed in an opera house. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in m

67、any film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a films expression.32.

76、 that less sleep is connected with larger body sizes.

Just because

77、 a house cat sleeps for 18 hours a day doesnt mean it needs all that sleep to function, Raizen said. Some sleep is probably a matter of convenience done when its not safe for an animal to be out, when food availability is low or simply because theres nothing else to do.As for human sleep?
