According to Shaman Hickman, the director of Community Outreach and Education for Hickmans Family Farms, genetics（基因学）not n
27、utrition determines the eggshell colour and thus the eggs price.The chicken breed（品种）and their genetics decide whether or not hens have pigment（色素）genes, which coat the egg and result in a coloured shell during the egg-laying process. Although all eggs start out white in colour, shell colour can ran
28、ge from white to brown and even blue in some rare breeds, Hickman adds. Breeds such as the Leghorn chicken lay white eggs, while the Orpington lays brown eggs and the Ameraucana produces blue eggs.Hickman notes that the Leghorn breed is the most efficient egg-laying hen, making it a popular choice f
29、or farmers. Hens that produce coloured eggshells, however, tend to be larger and require more feed and energy to create that painted layer. Since those breeds cost more to feed, their eggs are more expensive.Although eggs sometimes look different and are priced differently, its impossible to know th
30、eir nutritional make-up from the shell colour alone, according to Malkani, media spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Choosing between brown and white eggs is a matter of personal preference, she says. But its important for people to know that the colour of the eggshell has nothi
31、ng to do with the eggs nutrient content or shell thickness.What does affect the nutrient content is the specific diet the hen is on, according to Malkani. For example, hens fed with a diet with omega-3s and vitamin D produce eggs that are higher in those specific nutrients. No matter what your prefe

35、 at an instrument that looks like an old-fashioned piano. As his hands float over the keyboard, the sound reaching his audience is remarkably beautiful, reminding people of a string quartet（弦乐四重奏）. The amazing instrument is actually based on the design drafts Leonardo da Vinci made in his notebooks
36、with the dream of reproducing a cooperative musical performance played from a keyboard.The concert was a reminder that, even in an age of the Know-It-All, the breadth（广度）of Leonardos interests was extraordinary. It covers not only painting, architecture, mathematics, engineering and numerous branche
37、s of science, but music too. How many specialists would we need today to attempt Leonardos researches? asks Martin Kemp, professor of Oxford University. At least 13.

However, the endless list of unpublished studies and unfinished artworks highlighted the fact that, outsi
39、de the field of painting, his legacy（遗产）as distinct from his geniuswas modest. Because he failed to publish his theories and findings, hundreds of years were to pass before they were discovered by someone else.Thankfully, with Leonardos notebooks making their way to the greater public. people come t

He is passionately curious about everyday phenomenon that most of us quit questioning once we get out of our wonde
41、r years.Being curious about everything and curious just for curiositys sake, not simply because its useful, is the defining trait（品质）of Leonardo.
