Planes fly from the carrier and land back on it, and soldiers work and live on it, too. But building an aircraft carrier is so hard and expensive. It costs a lot of money and needs a large amount of steel and other special materials. For example, a basic aircraft carrier is made of 60,000 tons of steel. It also uses complex（复杂的）technologies, including radar, electrics, mechanics and weapons. Finally, it takes years to build one. Today, not many countries own an aircraft carrier or have the ability to build one. China has become the seventh country in the world that can build an aircraft carrier by itself, after the USA, Russia, England, France, Italy and Spain.10 .

The researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face. She stares at it carefully.A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus until a third card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer?The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses between senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats （鼓声）than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.15 .

Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick an apple. Old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun. One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to walk by Dawsons house on the way to Amys house, but as they got close, Janet saw him sitting on his front door and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street. Like most of the children, Janet was afraid of the old man. Amy said not to worry. Mr. Dawson wouldnt hurt anyone. When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his usual frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a big smile.Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games. Mr. Dawson said that sounded fun, and offered them each a fresh picked apple off his tree. They gladly accepted. Mr. Dawson had the best apples in the whole town. When they left, Janet asked Amy, Everyone says he isnt generous. How come he was so nice to us?Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house he wasnt very friendly and she was afraid of him, but she pretended(假装) he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him. It took a while, but one day he half-smiled back at her. After some more time, he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her. Just a hello at first, then more. She said he always offers her an apple now, and is always very kind. An invisible smile? questioned Janet.Yes, answered Amy, my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasnt afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible(看不见的) smile at me and I smiled back at him, sooner or later he would really smile. Grandma says smiles are contagious(有传染性的).If we remember what Amys grandma said, that everyone wears an invisible smile, we too will find that they will smile back to you. Its so easy to get caught up in everyday life that we forget how simple it can be to bring cheer to ourselves and others. Giving a smile away takes so little effort(努力) and time, Lets make sure that were not the one that others have to pretend to be wearing an invisible smile.20 .
