17、em. After several weeks, Jessica was able to move her lips. Staff noticed this and introduced Jessica to Consuelo Gonzalez, a professional lip reader.

Through Consuelo, Jessica asked the doctors and nurses questions she had long wanted answers to. She also talked

24、yes are quite sensitive to polarized light (偏振光), and the sky has a particular pattern of polarized light, connected with the position of the sun. says Barbara Webb, a bioroboticist at the University of Edinburgh. You can see polarized light firsthand if you take a pair of polarized sunglasses and s

25、pin them against the sky - the light passing through the lenses changes. Webb says the insects have polarization like that built into flat sides of their compound eyes. You can think of it as the equal of having a little polarization directional filter (滤镜) over them or lots of sunglasses pointed in

26、 different directions.But Webb was curious about whether theres really enough information in the sky to give insects an accurate sense of direction. So her team built a sensor modeled after a desert ant eye and put it under artificial light meant to simulate the sky. They then fed that sensor input

27、into a model meant to copy the brains of desert ants and other insects with a sky compass. And they found that with the insects natural sensing and processing equipment, they can likely sense compass direction down to just a couple degrees of error. A system based on that of insects could someday be

28、 a cheap, low-energy alternative to GPS. Insects have very tiny brains, a brain thats using hardly any energy. And yet theyre still able to navigate better than we can with GPS, which is a huge system. Webb is now working on building a robot that can, like the desert ant, use light to get its direct

32、arms self-respect. The less-known one is called the “tunnel” (隧道) effect: high incomes for peers are seen as improving your own chances of similar riches. A study by professor Mr. Fitzroy separates the two effects using data from household surveys in Germany. Previous work showed that the income of

33、others can have a small, or even positive effect on peoples satisfaction. But Mr. Fitzroys team theorized that older workers, who largely know their lifetime incomes already, will enjoy a much smaller tunnel effect.The data confirm this view. The negative effect on reported levels of happiness of be

34、ing paid less than your peers is not obvious for people aged under 45. Seeing peers incomes rising actually makes young people happier (even more than a rise in their own incomes). It is only those people over 45, when careers have “reached a stable position”, whose happiness is harmed by the succes

35、s of others.Those with jobs are no happier after they retire, however, perhaps because their lives already line up with social expectations. Indeed, retiring early from work can have side effects.
