Essential

11、ly, dry ice is frozen CO2. The first report of what we now call dry ice came from the French chemist Charles Thilorier in 1834. In 1924, the Drylee Corporation of America named the solid form of CO2 as Dry Ice, which is what it is popularly called today.At normal atmospheric pressure, CO2changes dir

12、ectly from solid to gas. It skips the liquid phase（阶段）which makes regular ice wet. Frozen CO2is also much colder than regular ice. But regular ice freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, CO2 changes from gas to solid at -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit. This extremely cold temperature makes it very dangerous to

13、handle with bare hands. It can cause frostbite in a very short period of time.Dry ice has been used for a variety of purposes throughout the past century. Its primary use is to refrigerate food when electrical refrigeration isnt available. Through the process of sublimation (when CO2 changes from so

14、lid to gas), it can maintain cold food for a long time.If youve ever been to a play and seen heavy fog on the ground, it is likely that you have seen dry ice in action. This effect can be achieved because CO2 is heavier than air, so evaporated （挥发的）CO2 will sink and accumulate on the ground.Another

15、interesting use for this substance is to bait（诱杀）insects like mosquitoes. These insects have sensors which guide them to CO2. They find the high concentration of CO2 in dry ice quite attractive.Mars has long been a mystery for human beings. We have been looking for evidence of life on Mars. In the 1

16、960s scientists guessed that the polar ice cap of Mars was made of frozen CO2. More recent observations have shown that while the topmost layer consists of frozen CO2, the most of it is probably regular frozen water.1、Frozen CO2 gets its name of Dry Ice mainly becauseAit is very easy to make it dryB

Only it isnt so popular yet, and your live Studio audience isnt giving you the big laughs the show deserves. Do you

20、film the show all over again, hoping that this time the audience will laugh? Or is there another option for making a joke sound funnier than it was received?Sweeten(改善) the sound by adding a laugh track! “Sweetening,” or the addition of sound effects such as laughs, screams, and other audience-produ

21、ced noises to the audio track of a TV show, has been used since the 1940s to produce the appearance, or rather the sound, of an engaged and entertained response to a shows comedy. Laugh tracks came into existence as not only a solution, and sometimes replacement, for an unengaged live audience but a

22、lso as a way to engage an at-home audience into a more-traditional, public, and theaterlike experience. Adding a laugh track to a television show makes the viewers at home feel much less like theyre sitting on a couch staring at the television screen and much more like theyre in a room full of laugh

23、ing happy people to varying degrees of success.Though the art of sweetening has risen and fallen in popularity over the past 60 years, credit for its creation and continued use is owed to laugh-track pioneer and sound engineer Charles Douglass. Douglass was the first to develop, in 1953, a machine f

24、or producing “canned laughter”, accessible at the push of a button or pull of a lever (操纵杆). Despite being artificial, sensibly edited laugh tracks are found by television studios to bring about a positive audience response, as their use is usually accompanied by higher ratings and increased audienc

25、e memory. Though some television audiences may disagree with the value of the laugh track, the cheerful and repetitive sound holds a permanent place in the history and future of television comedy.1、The author uses the first paragraph to .Aintroduce the topic “sweetening”Bseek solutions for the probl

Howeve

28、r, several trucks pulled over and workers silently unloaded camera equipment and cardboard boxes, and then carried them inside the Morgenson family home.What took place over the next eight weeks was inspired by a Hollywood movie called The Joneses about a family of marketers who move into a local ne

29、ighborhood to sell their products secretly to their neighbors. The idea was to test the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By filming a rear family in unscripted (无剧本的) situations, my team and I would document how the Morgensons circle of friends responded to brands and products the Morgensons bought

30、 into their lives.With the help of 35 video cameras and 25 microphones hidden in side the furniture, the operation done secretly showed something shocking. The most powerful hidden persuader of all isnt in your TV or on the shelves of your supermarket. Its a far more important influence thats around

31、 you almost every waking moment: your very own friends and neighbors. There is nothing quite so persuasive as observing someone we respect or admire using a brand or product.Our analysis also found that the brands the Morgensons used went faster. About one third of the Morgensons friends began promo

32、ting these same brands to their friends. We also found that the brands their friends were most likely to buy at the Morgensons suggestion were the bigger and better-known ones. This proved my thoughts that traditional marketing and secret marketing work well together. The most persuasive advertising

33、 strategies are strengthened by word-of-mouth advertising.Whenever I meet with company managers, I tell them that the people who hold the real marketing power are mouse-clicking consumers and their wide circles of real-life friends. In other words, the people who hold the real power are us.1、The aut

36、used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草制的) medicines which ar

37、e got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.Over-harvesting does the most harm, t

38、hough pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. “Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it, but it is mainly bec

39、ause such collection is unorganized.” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew (紫衫) and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.The solution, says the reports author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects studied by Plantlife in I

40、ndia, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.”“Improving health, earning an income and keeping c

41、ultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection.

42、 “Not nearly enough is being done,” he told New Scientist. “We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”1、From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that _.Amillions of people are threatened with-cancerBmost countries see a shortage of herbal medicinesCabout two thirds of medicina
