Sunspots act like planet-sized hurricanes that suck in as much material as they spew out, temporarily overriding the laws of magnetic fields, scientists said on Tuesday. A team of researchers from NASA and Stanford University said by peering into the Sun for the first time, they discovered how the magnetic fields, which make up the cool dark sunspots on the surface, clump together instead of dispersing. Scientists had previously observed gases pouring out of the sunspots, and thought this was the product of the various magnetic fields repelling each other, in the same way magnets repel each other when brought together. But the researchers said the out-flowing matter is just a surface feature that occurs while the sunspot sucks in new material to hold itself together. "If you look a bit deeper, you find material rushing inward, like a planet-sized whirlpool or hurricane. This inflow pulls the magnetic fields(back)together, " said Junwei Zhao, one of the Stanford researchers. The pressure in this sunspot hurricane is about 10 times higher than a tropical hurricane on Earth, scientists said. "Without this flow, a sunspot would not last a day. With it, it lasts for weeks. In the end, the sunspot does get torn apart—but we still don't know how yet, " Stanford colleague Philip Scherrer, said at a news conference. To get this deeper knowledge the team used sound wave technology, which they likened to the ultrasound doctors use to capture images of unborn babies. The research showed the magnetic field below a sunspot would cut off the spot's supply of energy from the Sun's hot core, turning it into a plug. Any matter above the plug would then cool and become denser, until gravity dragged it and any surrounding gases into the center of the spot at 3, 000 miles per hour. "As long as the magnetic field remains strong, the coding effect will maintain an inflow that makes the structure stable... thereby setting up a self-perpetuating cycle, " the team said in its report. British scientist Douglas Gough from Cambridge University, described the group's findings as the solution to a 400-year-old riddle. Understanding the sunspot component would help scientists gain a global knowledge of the Sun, he said. "Take a TV set. It is not simply the sum of its components. And trying to understand the whole requires a greater global knowledge, but you can't build a TV set unless you know how the components work. It's the same with the Sun and its components, " Gough said. The findings are the latest in a long line of sunspot research, which stems back to the early 17th century, when Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei used sunspots to calculate the speed of the Sun's rotation. His hand-drawn renditions of sunspot locations contrasted sharply with the computer-generated multicolored models of sunspots on display at NASA's Washington headquarters. "Imagine yourself flying over a lake, you can see the surface but you don't know how deep it is, how the temperature varies with depth. It was the same with sunspots until now, " NASA's George Withbroe said.

You will now read a short passage and then listen to a talk on the same academic topic. You will then be asked a question about them. After you hear the question, you will have 30 seconds to prepare your response and 60 seconds to speak.Demonstration of QualitiesBroadly speaking, animals' defenses against predators fall into three categories: fight, flee, or freeze. There exist, however, a number of behaviors that do not fit neatly into this simple scheme. Among these one of the most striking is demonstration of prowess. Here a non-predator species will engage in behavior that tends to discourage predators. The behavior signals to the predator that the prospective prey is 1) ready to fight: or 2) not an attractive food species after all: or 3) simply too hard for that predator to capture. In all three cases, the message conveyed is a false one and animals engaging in these behaviors are, in fact, non-aggressive food species not especially difficult to capture. As such, the tactic represents a "bluff" by the animal that it is never intended the predator will test.Now hear a talk on the same subject.Question: Using information from the reading and the lecture, explain how the lecture is related to the reading passage.

On the road motorists should be aware of cyclists and be ______ towards them.[2008]
The year 2010 began with a herd of manufacturers chasing Amazon's Kindle. It ends with some of the same companies in pursuit of Apple's iPad. In between those tablet-computing crazes, we've all been challenged to keep up with the expanding universes of social networking and smartphones. Nothing illustrates what makes the tech business both fascinating and frustrating as well as the rise of Facebook. The social-networking site crossed the 500 million-user mark and debuted numerous features, such as an upgraded e-mail service and options to share your location with friends and get discounts from nearby retailers. But it also spent much of the year infuriating(触怒)users with privacy changes that exposed more of their data and were confusing or impossible to undo. The simpler privacy interface it launched in May should help, but it won't if this company again forgets that its users don't all operate at start-up speeds. Other social networks had a smoother road. Twitter offered its growing user base a more reliable service and a busier but more useful interface, while Foursquare had users checking into such far-off locations as the international space station. You can't write the story of any of these sites without noting how smartphones have allowed their users to connect from so many places. Apple's iPhone 4 led that pack in 2010, but Google's Android operating system improved at a faster pace and didn't require its users to sign up with only one carrier, even if some of the carriers selling Android phones showed a serious lack of taste in their tweaks(扭转)to Google's software. I probably devoted more column inches to smartphones than to any other sort of hardware, and with good reason; This is the most exciting, fastest-moving part of the electronics industry. Tablet computers aren't far behind, though. Apple's launch of the iPad in January redefined this market in a way that finally made the concept relevant to home users. Competitors took the hint and have begun rolling out devices that will never qualify as " iPad killers" but do earn the title of " iPad competitor. " The success of the iPad and other tablets pushed down the price of the Kindle and other e-book readers. But Amazon's e-reader may need to drop below $ 100 and get a major screen upgrade to hold its place in the market. Both smartphones and tablets have further eroded the significance of traditional desktop and laptop computers. Sure, people still buy the things in massive numbers. But when you can get so much work and play done on a smartphone or tablet—or, for that matter, any other device with a browser that can run Web-based applications like Google Docs—why bother stressing out over your choice of one brand of computer? This trend has hurt Microsoft, the company that once benefited more than any other from the traditional computing market. Its biggest software shipment of the year, its Office 2010 productivity suite for its Windows operating system, was a yawner(无趣的东西)of a release.
November is Diabetes Eye Health Month, and that's just one of the reasons to take advantage of EyeCare America's free program, designed for people over 65. Eligible patients will receive eye exams and up to one year of treatment. "We feel that seniors in our communities are at the greatest risk. The longer you have diabetes, the more susceptible you are to losing your vision, " says Allison S. Neves, communications manager at EyeCare America, the public service foundation of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. If you're among the 16 million people who have diabetes, you're 25 times more likely to lose your eyesight than people without it. African Americans and Hispanics are particularly susceptible. Lack of awareness is a big contributor—half the people with the disease go undiagnosed. Studies have found that even for those who know they have it, more than one-third don't get the eye care they need. "There are a lot of barriers to seniors getting the quality eye care they deserve. First is rising health care costs. Second is access to care in communities, and what is difficult for them is trusting medical professionals. Some are only accustomed to going to physicians when they're in pain—not for regular checkups, " says Neves. Darlene Thorne, 83, found herself in a tight spot when she moved to Salt Lake City from Las Vegas. With no medical insurance or doctors she knew personally, she decided to try the Seniors EyeCare program for a long-overdue eye checkup. She was surprised to get more than just a free eye exam. "Dr. Harry treated me like I was a regular person and not getting it for free. He tested my eyes and wrote out a prescription for glasses even though that wasn't included in the program. Recently, when I got an infection, I was so frightened. At least I had someplace to go; otherwise I would have sat around for several days or longer. " The EyeCare America program makes such personal relationships possible by hooking up patients with an ophthalmologist in their area—one of its 7, 500 volunteers. "It's not a mass screening in any way—it's an actual doctor's appointment. Should anything be diagnosed, the patients are seen up to one year for no out-of-pocket costs. It's really just about getting that person into that office to prevent eyesight damage, " says Neves. In-depth medical exams by an ophthalmologist are critical, as they can detect symptoms that eye screenings at an optometrist or a local store might have missed. What many people don't know is that diabetes-related eye diseases such as retinopathy, cataracts, and glaucoma develop without warning signs. Extremely high blood pressure levels can damage the retina without any apparent changes in vision, leading you to believe that nothing's wrong while your sight degenerates. All these factors cause 24, 000 cases of vision loss every year. The good news is that proper detection, treatment, and care can prove 95 percent effective in preventing blindness—even for people with advanced retinopathy. If you experience floaters(sudden flashes or spots)or blurred or double vision, schedule an appointment immediately. Otherwise, an annual dilated eye exam is a must for everyone with diabetes.
