2、of the plantation （大農场）.” Today， she and her husband， artist James Terrell， explore that identity in their work. Their new exhibit of paintings recently in Manassas， Virginia is called “Born at the Bottom of the Ship”.Over the generations， Africans became African Americans with a new culture， and Ni
3、na Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American culture. An example is “Hope and Grace”， a painting of two women wearing colorful clothes with traditional African patterns. Pointing to t
4、heir hair， she says， “They have these big afros （非洲发型） so it could be 1960， it could be 2018.”James Terrells style is more abstract.

5、 going through; theres not a lot of color being seen， as opposed to the other ones. So， its just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”But he also likes to play with color.

22、rding to ABC.The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray. Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right. Each year， the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as
23、 he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after.

28、rby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects， with even smaller brains， use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinsons team used plumesa material that rises
29、into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel. They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then， the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said， at first， the mosquitoes showed no interest in the
30、 objects at all. “What was quite striking and quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO2， they change their behavior quite obviously an
