35、sily remembered single, it quickly goes around the world. Now scientists have discovered the same thing happens with the songs of another creature-the humpback whale. The mammals become absorbed by new tunes just like people do, and the most popular original whale songs spread globally like hit sing
36、les.Male humpback whales are famed for the loud, long and complicated songs they make during the mating season. Each song lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and the males can sing nonstop for 24 hours. At any one time, all the males in a population sing the same song.But a study shows that this song changes
37、 over time and spreads around the oceans. Dr. Ellen Garland of Queensland University, said “Songs move like cultural communication from one population to another, causing all males to change their song to a new version.”Researchers recorded songs from six neighboring populations of whales in the Pac
38、ific over a decade. They found that new versions of the songs appear over time and always spread from west to east. It takes two years for songs that appear in the waters off Australia to be heard in French Polynesia.Most of the new songs contain material from the previous year mixed with something
39、new. “ It would be like getting an old Beatles song together with U2,” she said. “ Occasionally they completely throw the current song out of the window and start singing a completely new song”.Dr. Garland believes that a small number of whales may migrate to other populations carrying the new songs
40、 with them, or that they are heard by passing whales.The researchers suspect whales adopt new songs to make themselves distinct. Dr. Garland said “ we think this male search for new songs is in the hope of being that little bit different and perhaps more attractive to the opposite sex.”43. What is t

43、te with each other. D. get accepted by another population.46. In which part of the website may the text appear?A. News B. Amusement. C. Education. D. HealthDHow long has 3-D technology been around? Most of us might think of crowds of teenagers in a 1950s movie house watching Bwana Devil in 3-D. But
44、3-D technology made its first appearance on the scene in 1838 with the first stereoscope(体视镜). And the first actual 3-D movie was a 1903 film called Le Ariveedun Train.Although it has such a long history, the technology has still remained based on one simple principle-to make 3-D effects you must fi
45、nd a way to project two slightly different pictures to each eye. Modern 3-D technology works by rapidly flickering(闪动 ) two versions of the movie and projecting them onto each eye. The brain does the rest of the work, combining the two pictures together into one and giving the show the appearance of
46、 depth, the third dimension.But does this exposure, especially long exposures, cause harm to the childs developing brain and visual system? Unfortunately, long-term studies on new flicker digital 3-D technology and children arent yet available. We do not know if regular or daily 3-D viewing over yea
47、rs affects the developing visual system, although older 3-D methods basically do the same thing and are not considered harmful.The question of possible harm in modern 3-D use in TV is really based on two facts the amount of time children will now be watching 3-D TV each day and the sensitivity some
48、children show in reaction to 3-D viewing. It is difficult to make actual lab studies of longer term 3-D viewing in children because of the possible harm of the experiment. Researchers will have to wait until 3-D TV technology is already in the marketplace for a number of years, then check heavy 3-D TV watchers and compare them with non-watchers.With a 3-D television technology in the home, we will soon be able to answer the question of whether or not longer and more frequent periods of 3-D exposur
