And many understand bees are important to plant pollination(授粉). Yet, according to a study led by Utah State University ecologist Joseph Wilson, few are aware of t

12、he wide diversity of bees and other pollinators beyond such species as honeybees.“The U.S. Postal Service recently put out its Protect Pollinator series, which features only the European honeybee and the monarch butterfly,” says Wilson, assistant professor of biology at USUs Tooele campus. “A social

13、 media commenter observed that using these two species on a campaign to protect pollinators is similar to focusing on chickens to save birds. Its a pretty good comparison, actually.”Wilson, with colleagues Matthew Forister of the University of Nevada-Reno, published findings in the Sept. 5, 2017, on

14、line edition of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.“In our recent survey, 99 percent of our respondents said bees are important, yet only 14 percent were able to guess within 1,000, the actual number of bee species in the United States,” he says. “Most people guessed around 50 species of bees,

15、 while the correct number is about 4,000 known species.” Further, when shown images of varied insects, many people were unable to distinguish bees from non-bees.“A challenge with lack of knowledge about bees is you cant protect what youre now aware of,” Wilson says. “We could be losing species or ca

According to recent research from the UC Irvine Institute, drinking coffee and wine could help you live longer.The 90+ Study evalu

20、ated more than 1,600 people over the age of 90 for their lifestyle habits and other qualities that might have contributed to their longevity.Participants were visited every six months, when they were given various tests. Researchers also collected information about the participants diets, lifestyles

21、, and medical histories.They found out that two of the habits that helped preserve lives the most are drinking alcohol and coffee. “I have no explanation for it,” admitted Dr Claudia Kawas, “but I do firmly believe that moderate (适度的) drinking improves longevity.” So should we all be drinking more c

22、offee and wine? While that would be great news, the research may not be as definitive as it seems.“Most studies about alcohol consumption, including The 90+ Study, are observational, so we can only say that something about drinking is associated with health and longevity,” registered dietitian Jenni

23、fer Markowitz told The Daily Meal.“Id be curious to see if the coffee and alcohol drinkers shared other important habits or lifestyle factors that might also play into their longevity.”In other words, it might not be the wine and coffee thats helping people live longer, but the two substances do hav

24、e some considerable health benefits. “Wine and coffee are packed with antioxidants(抗氧化剂) which are known to protect our bodies from damage caused by free radicals,” explained registered dietitian Keri Gans to The Daily Meal. “Research on antioxidants has shown several heath benefits, including the p

Therefore, sick people had lice put in their hair intentionally. There was a m

36、ethod in their madness： As soon as the lice had settled in again, the patient improved. The story explains the confusion of cause and effect. If the lice leave the sick host, it is because he has a fever and they simply get hot feet，and when the fever breaks，they return. Such false causality (假因果关系）

37、misleads us every day.Consider the headline: “Fact: Women Who Use Shampoo XYZ Every Day Have Stronger Hair.” It says very little - least of all, that the shampoo makes your hair stronger.

Both were in decline, and if you plot (描绘） them

41、on a graph (曲线图)，the two lines of development from 1965 to 1987 appeared almost the same. Does this mean the storks actually bring babies? Obviously not. This was a purely accidental connection.In conclusion: Connection is not causality. Take a closer look at linked events: Sometimes what is present

42、ed as the cause turns out to be the effect, or just the other way round， and sometimes there is no link at all - just like with storks and babies.1、According to the first paragraph, people in some islands north of Scotland _.Afound a way to get rid of head liceBused an effective method to keep fltCm
