网站上的argument题库及对应翻译(十八) “As Earth was being formed out of the collision of space rocks, the heat from tho collisions and from the increasing gravitational energy of the planet made the entire planet molten, even the surface. Any water prent would have evaporated and gone off into space. As the planet approached its current size, however, its gravitation became strong enough to hold gas and water vapor around it as an atmosphere. Becau comets are largely ice made up of frozen water and gas, a comet striking Earth then would have vaporized. The resulting water vapor would have been retained in the atmosphere, eventually falling as rain on the cooled and solidified surface of Earth. Therefore, the water in Earth”s oceans must have originated from comets.“

“Doctors have long suspected that condary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after vere muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes
七女峰in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the cond group, all being treated
by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnod with muscle strain would be well advid to take antibiotics as part of their treatment. “153The following appeared in a memo to the human resources manager at Baobob Inc., a large architectural firm.阅读指导课教案
“Several well-known, retired architects were interviewed in Architecture Today about changes in the field. Only one had earned a college degree in architecture. All others had come into the field at an early age by rving apprenticeships that required them to work under the direct supervision of an experienced architect. Several of the colleges that we recruit from report that many promising architecture students leave school early in their undergraduate career. Therefore, becau finding talented architecture graduates is becoming more difficult, Baobob Inc. should start an aggressive apprenticeship program and hire students
who express an interest in architecture directly out of high school rather than wait for them to get out of college.“
154Thirteen years ago, rearchers studied a group of 25 infants who showed signs of mild distress
when expod to unfamiliar stimuli such as an unusual odor or a tape recording of an unknown voice. They discovered that the infants were more likely than other infants to have been conceived in early autumn, a time when their mothers” production of melatonin — a hormone known to affect some brain functions —would naturally increa in respon to decread daylight. In a follow-up study conducted earlier this year, more than half of the children — now teenagers — who had shown signs of distress identified themlves as shy. Clearly, incread levels of melatonin before birth cau shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life.

“A recent rearch study reported the experience of dentists who patients had, over a period of five years, regularly ud Flux Dental Floss as part of their dental hygiene routine. The report indicates that the dentists had 50 percent fewer cas of gum dia than did dentists who patients did not u Flux regularly.

156The following appeared in a Letter to the Editor of the Shady Village newspaper.
“Commuters are complaining that the rush hour traffic on Blue Highway between Shady Village and Bright City has doubled their commuting time. Some commuters have asked that an additional traffic lane be built, but the recent creation of such a lane on nearby Green Highway apparently attracted more commuters, judging from the fact that rush-hour traffic jams actually incread there this past winter. To reduce rush-hour traffic on Blue Highway, a bicycle lane should be added instead of a traffic lane. This approach will succeed becau many citizens of Shady Village are avid bicyclists; 75 percent of respondents to a recent questionnaire distributed there said they would like to bicycle more hours per week than they currently do.“
求人表情包157Collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human
figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how the Kaline artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali, we can now conclude that the ancient Kaline artists ud molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques, to create the statues. This discovery explains why Kaline miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style: molds could only be u
d for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kaline sculpting tools have been found. In light of this development, collectors should expect the life-size sculptures to decrea in value and the miniatures to increa in value.90美女网
158The following appeared in a newsletter on nutrition and health. “Although the multimineral Zorba pill was designed as a simple dietary supplement, a study of first-time ulcer patients who took Zorba suggests that Zorba actually helps prevent ulcers. The study showed that only 25 percent of tho ulcer patients who took Zorba under a doctor”s direction developed new ulcers, compared to a 75 percent recurrence rate among ulcer patients who did not take Zorba. Clearly, then, Zorba will be highly effective in preventing
