     It is probably happened to you: A friend says,” I know this place like the back of my hand,” and then proceeds to get you hoplessly lost.Well, it could be that they really did know it like the back of  their hand. Because researchers have found that people don’t actually know their hands as well as they think they do. The study appears in the Proceedings of National Acedemy of Sciences.
We all have “mental representations” of our body parts. So when our hands or feet are out of sight, we still know pretty much where they are and what they look like. But just how accurate is our mental picture?
Scientists had volunteers place one hand, palm down, under a board. And they asked the subjects to guess, by pointing to the board with their other hand, where their hidden knuckles and fingertips lay.
The results? Perticipants thought their hands were about two thirds wider and one third shorter than they really were.. And their finger length estimates got worse as they moved away from their way to their thumbs, That’s intereting, because finger sensitivity declines as you head towards the pinky. So our mental body maps seem to reflect our ability to feel.Oh, and for their gripping results, let’s give the researchers a hand.

求教，6月14的听力材料里， 这句话应该怎么理解：And their finger length estimates got worse as they moved away from their way to their thumbs, 主要是as they moved away from their way to their thumbs， 后面的代词太多，不确定这个动作到底指的是什么？

大家怎么理解呢？

这些人被要求在板上面估计手指和关节的位置。然后离大拇指越远的手指，他们估计手指的长度误差就越大。也就是说 小指的长度估出来误差最大。这个在后面两句中得到验证：That's interesting, because finger sensativities decline as you head towards the [pinky].就是说小指的敏感度最差。 So our mental body [maps] seem to reflect our ability to feel. 表示两者一致（感知能力和大脑里对躯体的印象）

It was 1934 a Westchester stockbroker Bill Wilson promised his wife he would never drink again. Then during the following spring, he nearly fell off
the wagon. In a desperate move, he called a local surgeon and drunk ,Bob Smith. It was that conversation that marked
the first meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Celebrating its 75th anniversary this year of aa ---with its 12 guiding principles to sobriety—is a hallmark institution for addicts. But does it work.?
Well a 2006 study published in Alcoholism: Clinical and experimental research followed 349drinkers over five years. And it found success rates correlated with the frequency and length of aa attendance. Of those who dropped out of aa after the first year, only 43 percent were still sober at year 5. Of those who went to sixty meetings per year for all five years 73 percent continue to abstain, and 79 percent of those who attended 200 meetings annually had gone into remission by the year 5. Maybe most surprising, is that 61 percent of those who attended 200 meetings in their first year but dropped down to six meetings in the year five, were still able to stay dry.
But such results show a correlation, and it’s important that results, like most things in life, are based on individual circumstances and personalities.
Nonetheless, most long-term studies conclude that if one (连读)sticks with aa for the long haul ,at least five years, then chances for permanent of abstinence steadily increase.

When  astronaut Alan Shepard took his first swing摆动 at a golf ball on the moon , he hit more dirt than ball. The dust he kicker up reinforced the idea that the moon was on big sand trap. But looks can be deceiving 欺骗，蒙骗. Now, scientists reanalyzing lunar samples say that our satellite卫星 is at least a hundred  times wetter than we thought. The result appears in the Proceeding of American Academic of Scientist.
    Astronauts manning配备人员 the Apollo missions brought home plenty of moon racks. And in 40 years of looking at those samples, no one ever found a trace of water. That could be the collision碰撞 that made the moon in the first place were so hot that the volatile挥发性的 element like the hydrogen，a key component of H2O, largely burn away.
Now, using a technique that can identify element present in just a few part-per-billion, scientist have taken another look at three lunar samples, two from Apollo missions and one meteorite陨石 found in Africa. And they detected the hydroxy1 , the HO that is left behind when a rock crystallizes from magma岩浆 containing water.
The result suggest that water may be ubiquitous到处存在的 in the interior of  the moon. Although there is  probably not enough to qualify that as a water hazard冒险，危险，机会.

It probably happened to you: A friend says, "I know this place like the back of my hand,” and then proceeds to get you hopelessly lost. Well it could be that they really did know it like the back of their hands, because researchers have found people don't actually know their hands as well as they think they do. The study appears in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences.
We all have mental representation of our body parts, so when our hands or feet are out of sight, we still know pretty much where they are and what they look like. But just how accurate is our mental picture.
Scientists had volunteers place one hand palm down under a board and they asked the subjects to guess by pointing to the board with the other hand, where their hidden knuckles and fingertips lay.
The results: participants thought their hands were about two third wider and one third shorter than they really were. And the finger length estimates got worse as they moved away from their thumbs. That’s interesting, because the finger sensitivity declines as you head towards the pinky. So our mental body maps seem to reflect our ability to feel. OH, and for the gripping results, let's give the researchers a hand.

That’s a shout World Cup enthusiasts don’t hear too frequently. Soccer’s known for low-scoring games, which makes it difficult to find an objective means of measuring the skill of top players. In a given game, a couple might nail a goal or have an assist. But who’s the best of the best?This conundrum plagued Luis Amaral as a kid in Portugal. Now, a professor of biology and chemical engineering at Northwestern, he used his team’s computational skills to find the best. The work is in the journal Public Library of Science One. Graduate student Josh Waitzman wrote software using data from the 2008 Euro Cup website. They mapped the flow of the ball among players. They evaluated the ways the ball can travel. And they were able to rank players based on how many times and ways the ball passed through them to finish a given shot.
Their rankings match the opinions of coaches and experts. For example, all agree that Spain’s Xavi is a great player. Amaral and Waitzman say this network model could be also used for non-soccer tasks, such as evaluating teammates on a group work project

Sand trap: an artificial hazard on a golf course consisting of a depression containing sand沙坑
Hydroxyl:氢氧基, 竟然是这么朴实的初中化学。。
Took swing at a golf ball on the moon: 在月球上打高尔夫

背景：
1971年，“阿波罗14号”任务中宇航员阿兰-谢泼德(Alan Shepard)抵达了月球弗拉莫罗高地(Fra Mauro highlands)，并扫描了月球地平线。此次登月任务中最令他记忆深刻的是，他在月球上击打了一枚高尔夫球。他还帮助宇航员们采集了近100磅的月球岩石样本，操作进行了几项月震实验，从而调查了月球表面月震的状况。
