food But when they get hungry enough that control buzzes right out the window Worker honeybees mostly consume nectar When they get back to the hive they regurgitate that food and share it with the other bees A responsible worker bee should choose the best nectar sources not just settle for the first flower she finds and communicate where they are to her sisters back home But will bees always choose the good of the colony over their own needs If a bee is hungry enough will she lower her standards To find out biologist Christopher Mayack gathered young hunter honeybees Mayack blew different chemical smells over the bees then gave them sugar rewards One set of bees got these rewards immediately For another set of bees the small reward came after a one second delay and the large reward came after five seconds Mayack stopped feeding the bees At six hours bees usually chose the large reward whether or not it was delayed As more time passed the starving bees were increasingly likely to choose the large reward but only when it came immediately And at 24 hours of starvation bees were no longer willing to wait five seconds for their drink of sugar water Most of them chose a smaller

Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands has developed a new system called the vOICe The three middle letters in vOICe stand for Oh I see Meijer s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head mounted camera stereo headphones and a notebook PC The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds 2 The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images Everything has its own unique sound 3 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch 音调 And a built in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object Meijer says that he is counting on the brain s ability to adapt 圆学子梦想 铸金字品牌 8 4 Within two weeks most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors They are also able to identify certain situations including whether the lights in a room are on or off 5 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users
