In the past hundred years, humans 【4】 (begin) destroying rainforests in search of three major resources: land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm 【5】 (animal). This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People 【6】 (obvious) have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees,【7】 we will suffer much more than we will benefit.

Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their 【8】 (medicine) value. It is extremely likely 【9】 our best chance to cure diseases 【10】 (lie) somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.

In 【1】(tradition) Chinese culture, tai chi is often related to the Chinese idea of yin and yang, the idea that one can see two sides in everything. Once 【2】a time, Taoist Zhang Sanfeng saw a bird attacking a snake in the Wudang Mountains in Hubei province. The snake’s defense inspired him 【3】(create) a set of 72 movements, which used【4】(soft) and power from inside to defeat violent force.

For those【5】do it, tai chi can be practiced anytime and anywhere without equipment or a gymnasium. And learning to do it【6】(correct) gives us a practical way to achieve such things as balance, motor control and rhythm(節(jié)奏) of movement. So it【7】(believe) that practicing tai chi can in some way help us stand, walk, move and run better.

Tai chi’s benefits certainly go beyond physical ones. For Marleni Calcina from Peru, who 【8】(do) tai chi for over 10 years, it’s not only a sport, but also a way of life. And 【9】is tai chi that has helped her understand the value of “going slowly”. Now, practicing tai chi is like 【10】(speak) with her soul.

“Our results lend support to the importance of time perception in animals where the ability to perceive time in a very short time may be the difference between life and death for fast moving creatures.” commented lead author Kevin Healy from Trinity College Dublin.

The study was done with a variety of animals using a phenomenon based on the maximum speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for example, have eyes with a refresh rate higher than humans.

One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to avoid being hit. The research showed flies “observe motion in a shorter time than our own eyes can achieve,” which allows them to avoid being hit.

Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on the research project, said in a statement, “Having eyes that send updates to the brain at much higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information equally quickly. Thus, this work highlights the impressive abilities of even the smallest animal brains. Flies might not be deep thinkers, but they can make good decisions very quickly. ”

In comparison, the tiger beetle (虎甲蟲(chóng)）runs faster than its eyes can keep up, basically becoming blind, which requires it to stop periodically to re-evaluate its prey’s (獵物)position.

Our results suggest that time perception offers an as yet unstudied dimension along which animals can specialize and there is considerable range to study this system in more detail.

Wrapped in a loop(圈)of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground a move that’s all the more daring because she has no legs.

Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket(桶), they refused.

Jennifer soon learned to walk — and run — on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline (蹦床）with her three older brothers. “ My parents didn’t treat me differently so I didn’t grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didn’t have legs but that wasn’t stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do. "

At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them — she moved more freely without.

In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the women’s gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US. When Moceanu and the women’s team won gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability.

At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois.

Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.
