Where contact is the associated with the increase risk of microbe(microbial) *** or corneal infection. Such infections(infection) that can sometimes lead to complications there(that) might threaten your sight. Doctors would take a scraping form the corner(from the cornea) and then try to identify whatever organism they represent(present). But in the study reported in the September Issue of Archives Asomology on the 34 percent of corneal scrapings(刮除术) from contact lens wearing **** patients allowed the researchers to identify the manropes(microbes) involved. But 70 percent of contact lenses from the infected patients harbors(harbored) microbes. The study included 79% patients with totally 50 infected eyes seen in a hospital in nearbo Australia said one of the study(studies) offers contact lens culture may give a clue requiring(regarding) the identify of costive(causative) organism in situations in which the corneal scraping is cultural negative and may help to choose(in choosing) the appropriate and microbe(microbial) agent.

microbial agent:菌剂

我很多地方都是鸡蛋里挑骨头了,呵呵.

This is gonna come to a shock to anyone who spent an hour looking for a place to park in Manhattan. But we actually probably have a great of parking spaces in the US. And they have someone fortunate consequences. that's according to a study by researchers at Purdue University. They surveyed the total area devote to parking in their mid-size mid-western county, turned out that parking spaces out number drivers by 3 to 1. And the total area devoted to parking spaces (places like big box stores and mega Churches) was more than 2 square miles larger than a thousand football fields. One problem associated with the parking lots is water pollution. Oil, Grease, Settlement and heavy metals from car betteries collect on the lot service and then get rash away by rainfall into lakes and rivers. The parking lots lead to a thousand times the heavy mental run off than agriculture land of same sizes produces. And parking lots added the urban heat island effect where by local temperatures might by more than 5 degree Fahrenheit higher than in the surrounding areas.

有些地方一看就有问题因为不懂，例如 BIG BOX STORES? SETTLEMENT? 还请高手指点！

It used to be thought that the brain has all its functions in place by age 3, and that was that. But new research is reviewing the brain that changes throughout their lives. And here is something else. Scientist recent found some long last neurons. Neurons are thought to die shortly after we born. Its fetal cells function is guides in the initial wiring our brains. They direct going neuro-fibers working much like the format on the construction side. After we born, their job is done and they die off (or so we thought). But in the journal of Neuroscience, researchers Michael XXX and XXX write the deep discover about 10% of these neurons in the adult brain. and they say the pre-natal cells undergo plasticity, meaning they change the streams of their communication base on experience. Here is the hope, if we understand how these cells build baby brains, then we may have a new way to help injured adult brains. as (name) says there is not stand cells that need to be grown, they are already there. and maybe we can reactivate their ability to build how the connections once again.

Face recognition software is increasing important to areas engine from xxx to Internet imagines searches. But research shows that face recognition systems do a poor job matching a  face in photograph to a face seen in the real life. In fact most people are pretty bored attitude. which is one reason why looking at mud shots can be unreliable. But researchers from the University of Glasgow has developed a new system that greatly improve the chances of matching a face with the photo from both computers and us. They announced their finding this week in the festival of science in York, England. You know how the occasional photo of you just doesnt' quite look like you, well the key to the new process is to use 10 or 11 different photos of a person and average those together to get a new image. Such averaging doesn't weight with other effects of individual shot that could be do to lighting or just the way how that to be holding your face. because your average face is more recognizably you even though you are above average.

British scientists have developed skis that wax themselves as you are skiing. The researchers who are working with ski manufactory try to self waxing skis in time for use in international competition early next year. Wax skis bottom provides lubrication effect that keeps snow from sticking and help skiers moving fast, but wax can wear off in the middle of run. The self skis includes seal reservoir that hold the lube. And attached to the ski under the ski foot, replace small blocks that usually there separate ski biding from ski. Tiny vail, the series of skis tubes continuously deliver new lube to the bottom of ski,  and normal motion of skis legs enhance pump the fluid through system, No battery necessary. Test on the aisle shows skiers use the new skis cover the course one or two percent faster than conventional skis, which is huge in sports a hundredth or thousandth seconds separates winners from skis bums,

You are what you eat, so it has been said, well it turns out what we eat has also influenced who we are, down to the level of our genes. Researchers of the University California Santa Cruz have found that population of people who eat a high starch diet harbor extra copies of genes whose product breaks down starch. Okay, we all learned in high school biology that the genes come in pairs, one copy from mom, one from dad. In reality, things aren't always that simple, for some genes, we get multiple copies, such as the genes for Salisbury amylase the enzyme that kicks off the digestion of starch. On average we humans have half a dozen copy of that genes. I say "on average" because not everyone has six, one person could have two, and another could have ten. What the  Santa Cruz scientists discovered is individuals from population that eat a lot starch, potatoes or corn or rice,  scale to the high end of that copy number spectrum, and that quite a natural selection, more amylase probably confirmed the fitness banish to those who eating starchy foods. Chimps on the other hand, have only two copies of the amylase genes, may be because they are not bananas nor bread.

9月14日60sec中注意到的问题

internet image searches: 不应该是imagine.从语法上看，imagine是动词，不能在searches前当形容词用。从意思上看,internet image searches正是网上图像搜索的意思，用imagine讲不通。

why looking at mug shots can be unreliable。
mug shot 就是警方为嫌犯拍的脸部照片，供目击者辨认用的。这个在学校英语课上用的《新视野大学英语》中就有。
