19、t not think about science. Of course, theres a lot of science behind movies like Interstellar or The Martian but not movies like Frozen or The Avengers, right? Think again.Animated(动画) movies use a lot of science and math to make things look as real as possible. For example, snow was used in many pa

20、rts of the movie Frozen, but making the snow look real was a challenge. The snow needed to act differently in different situations, like if it was melting(融化) or blowing in the wind.Mathematicians（数学家）had to create a computer program to make the snow look more natural. Joseph Teran, a mathematician

21、at the University of California, US, faced this challenge with Frozen, according to the Society for Science and the Public.He and his team used math equations(等式) to treat snow like many different pieces instead of one large thing, as movies had done in the past. They worked for months to make a com

22、puter program do this.Science is important for superhero movies too. Superheroes are supposed to have special powers that cant always be explained. But moviemakers still want to make their actions realistic(现实的).For example, Raychelle Burks, a chemistry professor from the American Chemical Society,

23、told the Daily Mail that some of the science behind The Avengers could be real. Iron Mans suit is possible because it can be made of a light but strong material. In the movie , Tony Stark also makes new elements by making atoms collide(使原子对撞)，much like scientists do in real life.So next time you see

35、 of Lees coaches, Kwon Kap-Yong, told the AFP news agency.Mr Lee is considered as a successful Go player, having won many competitions in his career.Go is a game of two players who take turns putting black or white stones on a 19-by-19 grid (棋格).

38、nd teasing out so many kinds of ways of play.

39、ted.This good circle of continuous improvement meant the super computer went into the five-match series stronger than when it beat the European player late last year.Does this mean artificial intelligence is now smarter than us and will kill us humans? Certainly not. AlphaGo doesnt care if it wins o

43、e Double Ninth FestivalThe Double Ninth Festival, also named the “Chong Yang Festival”, is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. The festival began as early as the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In ancient time, numbers were mysterious and were divided in

45、um wine on the Double Ninth Festival. It is hard to say when the customs were created. But there are many stories which are closely related. As recorded in a historical book of the sixth century, in ancient times, there lived a man named Huang Jing. He was learning the magic arts from Fei Changfang.

46、 One day, they were climbing a mountain. Fei Changfang suddenly stopped and looked very upset. He said to Huang Jing, “On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, a big trouble will come to your hometown”. You must go home immediately.

47、d leave home quickly and climb to the top of a mountain. Most importantly, you must all drink some chrysanthemum wine. Only by doing so can your family members avoid the big trouble.On hearing this, Huang Jing rushed home and asked his family to do exactly as his teacher said. The whole family climb

48、ed a nearby mountain and did not return until the evening.

51、 idea that red means stop and green means has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For so

52、mething we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its import to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, tra

53、ins ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And its been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the color with the longest wavelength(波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than othe
