19、eath a double set of bell jars. It has lain there for more than a century, its rest only occasionally disturbed when the rooms three key holders perform a coordinated opening ceremony to let technicians enter and clean this precious piece of metal.First, the cylinder is rubbed with a piece of soft,

20、alcohol-soaked cloth. Then it is steamed with pure water. Finally, the 1kg cylinder is returned, carefully, to its resting place.Such attention to a lump of metal is unusual, but has a purpose. The castle houses the International Bureau of Weights and Measures and that piece of shining, circular met

23、e the mass of an object.

24、etric weights system. There would be chaos. The current definition of the kilogram is the weight of that cylinder in Paris, after all.”Another major motivation for the replacement of the IPK is the growing need to be able to carry out more and more precise measurements. “Drug companies will soon be

The latest findings throw new light on the origins and social structure of the groups that built megaliths in this regiona history that has long been hidden in mystery.For their study, the international team of researchers analyzed the genomesthe complete set of genetic material in a cellof 2

30、4 Stone Age individuals from five megalithic burial sites in Ireland, Scotland and Gotland, a large Swedish island in the Baltic Sea.This analysis showed that many of the individuals buried at each megalith, who all lived between 3,800 BCand 2,600 BC, according to radiocarbon-dating of their remains

31、, were closely related via family ties.The results also showed that the individuals buried at the megaliths were related to Neolithic farmers in northern and western Europe but genetically distinct from other hunter-gatherers. This was particularly noticeable at the Ansarve site on the island of Got

32、land. “The people buried in the Ansarve tomb are remarkably different on a genetic level compared to the individuals dug out from hunter-gather contexts, showing that the burial tradition in this megalithic tomb, which lasted for over 700 years, was performed by distinct groups with roots in the Eur

37、re important For people in relationships, having a reliable group is important, too-your mate will be much happier if youre spreading your anxieties beyond his or her cars and you will also feel better.In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the f

38、riendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology, the Big 5 personality traits (特征); extraversion, or how much you love attention and interacting with people; neuroticism, or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness, or how warm

39、and kind you are; conscientiousness, or how careful you are about lifers many duties; and openness to experience, or how much youre into discovering new things, whether theyre ideas, people, or places.For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in

40、 the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didnt have anything to do with frie

41、ndship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits-conscientiousness, extra version,

42、 and agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, its a pretty intuitive (直觉的) result, since its easy to be friends with someone whos always on time, always saying that youre right, and always up to hang out But if you dont exactly identify with all that* fear not: Your personali

43、ty is so much more than your traits.1、What does the author think of the friendship?AIt is helpful to dating and work.BIt can relieve your negative emotions.CIt has nothing to do with personality.DIt is ba.sed on the 5 popular personality traits.2、What did the recent study find?AThe biggest 5 persona
