37、plastic。 the material, made from shrimp(蝦） shells and proteins produced from silk, is called “shrilk?！?it is thin， clear, flexible and strong。a major benefit of the material is its biodegradability。 plastics toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and

38、 60s. decades later, however, plastics very durability(耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for onetime products such as plastic bags， or short-lived consumer goods， used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. what is the poi

39、nt of making something that lasts 1，000 years?shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer（肥料)， and so will enrich the soil.shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything rang

40、ing from shrimp shells， insect bodies to living plants。 that makes shrilk low cost and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material。work on shrilk is continuing in the lab。 the inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet， so theyre exploring ways

41、to use it in wet environments. theyre also developing simpler production processes， which could be used for non-medical products， like for computer cases and other products inside the home。 theyre even exploring combining it with other materials， like carbon fibers, to give it new qualities。54. what

42、 is mainly talked about in paragraph 2？ a. a major benefit of shrilk is its biodegradability。 b。 the advantages of plastics brought a revolution. c. it will take centuries for plastic products to degrade. d. it is unnecessary to make durable products for short use。 55。 according to the inventors， sh

44、e in wet conditions. c. making shrilk out of used household goods. d。 improving shrilks flexibility for medical purposes。 ddo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? well， apparently its because we

45、have mirror neurons(神經(jīng)元）in our brains。put simply， the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something， our brains imitate(模仿）it ， whether or not we actually perform the same action. this explains a great deal bout how we learn to smile， talk , walk， dance or pla

48、ered as when the action was actually performed (in this example， actually taking hold of a ball）.any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior。 much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. how

49、ever， it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders。research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact。 indeed， it may turn out to be the equivalent(相等物）for neuroscience of what ein
