10、y. In his upcoming book, Eat to Beat Diseases, Dr William Li, a heart expert, pulls together years of stored data and processes specific doses (剂量) of food that can treat diseases 【小题1】from a mild cold to cancer. Not all doctors agree that the science supports 【小题2】food like drugs, but he is hoping
11、the idea will motivate more researchers to study food in ways as 【小题3】strict as possible and generate stronger data in coming years. “We are far away from prescribing (开处方) diets to fight diseases,” he says. “And we may never get there. But we are looking to fill in the 【小题4】that have long existed i
12、n this field with real science. This is the beginning of a better tomorrow.”And talking about food in terms of doses might push more doctors to focus on patients grocery lists instead. So far, several hundred people who rely on the Fresh Food Program have had their risk of serious diabetes (糖尿病) com

But
17、 scientists have now found a way to use signals from the discarded(丢弃的)devices.“These dropped collars_would have been considered garbage data,” says Natasha Klappstein, a polar bear researcher at the University of Alberta. She and her colleagues instead used_from such collars, left on sea ice in Can
18、adas Hudson Bay, to track the ice itself. For their study, published in June in The Cryosphere, the researchers _twenty collars that sent movement data consistent(与一致的)with ice drift rather than polar bear _between 2005 and 2015. The resulting records of how melting ice typically drifts in Hudson Ba
19、y are unique; there are no easily _on-the-ground sensors, and satellite observations often cannot _capture the motion of small ice sheets.Theteam compared the discarded collars movements with widely used ice-drift modeling data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Collar data ind
20、icated that the NSIDC model underestimates the speed at which ice moves around in Hudson Bay-as well as the overall _of drift. Over the course of several months the model could drift away from an ice sheets location by a few hundred kilometers, the researchers say.Thismeans the bears may be working
21、harder, when moving against the direction of the ice, than scientists had_ .“Since were underestimating the speed of drift, were likely underestimating the energetic effort of polar bears, says Natasha Klappstein. The research reveals_insight (洞悉) into how highly mobile ice moves. As melting increas
22、es in coming years, such ice will likely become more _farther north, in the central Arctic. Scientists had known NSIDC data could underestimate drift speeds, but “any time we can find a data _,it is a good thing.”Plus,such data could improve predictions about how oil spills or other pollutants may s

The findings may even _future NSIDC models. “Its a really nice data set,” Meier says.And certainly one well take consideration. （1）A.In fact B.In a way C.In addition D.In the end

However, some scientists believe it should be considered a praise, given that many birds can perform human tasks like producing and us
27、ing tools, solving problems, and planning for future needs. Now, Griffin, an African Grey parrot, has proved that birds may even possess better visual memories than human adults and children.The study, led by Hrag Pailian, a researcher at Harvard University, had the parrot compete in the game agains
28、t twenty-one undergraduate students and twenty-one 6 to 8-year-old children. The popular challenge involves hiding a small object under one of three or more upside-down cups, which are moved around. Participants are required to accurately identify the cup under which the object lies. To make the tas
29、k more challenging, the researchers required participants to track two, three, and four objects at the same time.An analysis of the results showed that Griffin outperformed the 6 to 8-year-old across all levels on average. Even more impressive, the bird brain performed as well as, or slightly better
30、 than, the 21 Harvard students on 12 of the 14 trials! It was only in the final two tests, which had the most objects and most movements, that the parrot fell behind the adults. However, Griffins performance was never below that of the children.Griffin was the candidate of choice because the scienti
31、sts needed an animal that had a brain functionality similar to that of humans. The fact that the smart parrot loves to show off his brainpower in exchange for a few cashews（腰果）did not hurt either, said Irene Pepperberg, a Harvard lecturer, who has trained Griffin and several other African Grey parro
