9、 a half-smile on her face. She had come with a demand that my team change our tested software to make one of our most important and in-demand scientific instruments do something it had never been designed for, and risk breaking it down. All to carry out an experiment that was basically a waste of ti
10、me and couldnt be doneto prove that a massive black hole hid at the center of our Milky Way.My initial “no way” gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but firm determination. It was my first encounter with a force of nature, Andrea Ghez, one of three winners of this years Nobel Prize in Phys
11、ics. That determination and the willingness to take calculated risks has always characterized Andrea. For 25 years she has focused almost only on Sagittarius Athe name of our own local super massive black hole. And Andrea is one of the great pioneers in this search without question.Andrea did her wo
12、rk at the W. M. Keck Observatorys twin telescopes on Maunakea, Hawai'i. She started using the very first instrument licensed on Keck Observatorys Near Infrared Camera (NIRC). NIRC was never designed to do what Andrea needed but she was not to be denied. And it worked! It was extremely hard and t
13、ime-consuming to make sense of the data, but Andrea persisted.As Andrea would be the very first to acknowledge, this triumph (胜利) represents the combined efforts of so many. But actually one person had the idea for the research. One person had the chutzpah (无所顾忌) to propose it and one person had the

17、guins” because they communicate through honking, donkey-like sounds. Laugh at them if you like, but a new study suggests that their jackass language act actually follows the same basic rules as ours.In the study published in the journal Biology Letters, researchers recorded nearly 600 vocalizations
18、(发声) from 28 adult male penguins living in Italian zoos. (Males tend to vocalize a lot during the mating period, which is why the researchers turned to this population.) The scientists knew from previous research that African penguins bonk using three distinct types of sound, similar to human syllab
19、les (音节), when greeting one another, mating, or defending territory. But the researchers wanted to know whether those “syllables” followed two common linguistic (语言学的) rules.One of those rules, called Zipfs law in short, was proposed in 1945 by the linguist George Zipf. The law states that the more
20、frequently a word is used in any language, the shorter it tends to be (think of words like “the,” “to” and “of” in English). Previous studies have analyzed more than 1,000 world languages for evidence of Zipfs 1aw and the rule holds up in all of them.The other rule, known as the Menzerath-Altmann la
21、w, says that the longer a word or phrase is, the shorter its component syllables are, while shorter words are more likely to have longer syllables. The word “onomatopoeia,” for example, is made of six very short syllables, while “couch” is made of one longer one. Previous studies have shown that non
22、human primates (灵长类动物) follow both these rules when they communicate with each other but what about jackass penguins?The researchers in the new study found that, yes, the songs of the male jackass penguin conform to both Zipfs and Menzerath-Altmanns laws. The shortest calls tended to be the most com
23、mon, and the longest phrases were made up of the shortest syllables. This jackass study provided the first nonprimate evidence that these common linguistic patterns extend into the animal kingdom, the authors wrote, and thats nothing to hem and haw at.8 Why did the researchers choose adult male jack
24、ass penguins?A. They can vocalize different kinds of sounds.B. They are more accessible than other penguins.C. They communicate with each other through honking.D. They make sounds frequently during the mating period.9. What does the author try to express by mentioning the words “the”, “to” and “of”
25、in English?A. George Zipfs idea is reasonable.B. These words are extremely simple.C. Previous studies ate very meaningful.D. English is quite similar to other languages.10. Which of the following fully explains what the Menzerath-Altmann law means?A. Egg and food.B. Contradictory and shout.C. Learn

28、low-tech community and integrate that technology with city life.Kris Carter rolled out Boston's smart city program in 2014. It started with an App that residents could download to report locations where sidewalks needed repair. The city sorted out those reports and ranked them in a database, whi

31、lving. When it came to sidewalks, Boston introduced a second method of collecting repair tips, hiring people to get out and walk the city's 1,700 miles of sidewalks to take notes on their condition.Whether using low-tech or high-tech approaches, says Carter, to stay smart, a city needs to contin
32、ually reassess its options to spot opportunities to improve residents' lives. Take the sidewalk repair program, walking on the streets was proved a useful, if inefficient way to prioritize repair needs. But last year the group found that walkers' mobile phones could be tracked as they moved
33、along the streets, and that data could be analyzed to identify sidewalk routes which are most often used by neighborhoods.“Combined with our other sidewalk information, that gave us an even better way to predict where faster repairs would do the most good," says Carter,"We're really al
