My grapefruit tree,grown from ed,was one year old when it produced one blossom.It is really important for me to know whether it is possible for it to be fertilized (使受精) with its own pollen(花粉) and produce fruit,however small,even though the tree is so young.
During a juvenile pha,even if the tree has flowers,is it possible for it to produce fruit?
Junglekeeper
I'll give your questions a reply.Grapefruit trees are lf-fertile,which means their flowers can be fertil
ized with their own pollen;a cond tree is not required.However,fruit can also be produced without being fertilized,resulting in edless fruit.
The following is my understanding of the youth period.A tree does not begin to flower and produce fruit until it is out of its youth period.
Millet
It is unusual for a new edling tree to produce a flower.When this happens,the bloom is almost always on the very top of the little tree,and almost always it is years before the tree begins to blossom again.I had a citrus (柑橘类植物),which produces a bloom when it is only 3 inches tall.However,I have never en one of the blooms ever produce a fruit.Lastly,remember when it is said it takes 7-10 years for an orange or grapefruit to bloom and fruit,they are talking about
a tree that is grown outdoors,and not about an indoor tree that spends 1/2 of its life indoors during winters.An indoor tree can take as long as 15 years to fruit.

Imagine you are opening your own company and want to hire a manager.You have two candidates and they are both capable and experienced, so who would you rather hire: Julia Watson or Shobha Bhattacharya? The chances are that you would prefer Watson,right? But why?
“Easy names are evaluated as more familiar, less risky and less dangerous,”Eryn Newman,a psychologist at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, told Scientific American.As a result, people with easier names are often assumed to be more trustworthy.This is what Newman and her teammates have found in their recent study.
In the experiment, they picked 18 different foreign names, including hard-to-pronounce ones like Yevgeni Dherzhinsky and easy names like Bodo Wallmeyer.They then attached each name with a statement such as “Turtles are deaf” and “Giraffes are the only mammals that cannot jump” and asked volunteers whether they thought the claims were true.
The results showed that claims connected to easier names were more often ranked as believable ones than tho attributed to difficult names, regardless of what the truth really was.In fact, previous studies have already found that our judgments about products can be affected by their names.For example, we tend to think a food additive (添加剂) with an easier name safer and a stock with an easier name more lucrative (利润丰厚的), according to Medical Daily.
But rearchers pointed out that this effect can change depending on where someone comes from.For example, a native British man may find “Yevgeni Dherzhinsky” hard to pronounce while Rus
sheepdogsian people could say it without effort.Newman hopes that this finding can make us better e our bias (偏见).It's not just unfair to people that we make judgments bad on gut feelings rather than facts, but it can sometimes have rious conquences.
For example, we may choo to believe certain eyewitness in court simply becau their names sound more trustworthy even if they are actually lying.Or, we may let go of qualified job candidates due to their “difficult” names.
cheeharryNow, if you could make that decision again, would you still prefer Julia Watson to Shobha Bhattacharya?

y their names.”可知,事实上,之前的研究已经发现,我们对产品的判断可能会受到产品名称的影响。第五段开头承前转折,结合画线部分所在句句意“但研究人员指出,这种影响可能会因某人来自何处而改变”可推知,画线部分指的是名字对人们判断的影响,故选A。

You've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day,and as a gene
ral rule of thumb,that “more” is often defined (给……下定义) as around 10,000 steps.With many Americans tracking their steps via new fitness-tracking wearables,or even just by carrying their phones,more and more people u the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living.Dr.Greg Hager,professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins,decided to take a clor look at that 10,000-step rule,and he found that using it as a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.
“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japane man,when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number,” Hager said.
According to Hager,asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or tho with medical conditions that make it unwi for them to jump into that level of exerci,even if it's walking.The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others.He also noted that tho with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal becau they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance.It ems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.
A more recent study focud on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72.Rearchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years,compared to women who took 2,700 steps.Interestingly,women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.
