The waves broke like water in a washing machine, and the breaks had been heavy too, makin
11、g it tough to tell whether it was better to try to catch one or to get out of its way. That was how hed misjudged.Ella had seen her brother lose control, his board was thrown out of the water riderless high into the air, but she hadnt seen him surface. Shed waited for the space of a breath. Nothing.
12、 Something, clearly, was wrong.She dashed into the water, swimming faster even than the competitions at school. Lung burning. Heart Piping-Focused.Shed found him floating just beyond the reef (暗礁), face up but knocked out cold. Just as she was paddling the water hard, her leg was hurt by the reef, a
13、 short, sharp instant of pain.No matter. She had kept Jerrys head above water, swimming all the way back to shore. That day had been the worst, scariest moment in Jerrys surfing career, which has seen him rise from a no-name kid who loved the ocean to a young star, winning competitions around the wo

18、ime every morning or stay sharp and focused during the first couple of hours of school?During adolescence, the body goes through many changes and this includes a shift in sleep patterns. Researchers from MIT have been tracking the bodys need for sleep in teenagers. They found that though adolescents
19、 need as much as 9.5 hours of sleep a day, they get to bed later and later with each passing year. In fact, the sleep cycle shifts later by as much as 12 to 18 minutes each year between the ages of 10 and 20! So by the time a 10-year-old who sleeps at 8 pm grows to be 17 or 18, their body naturally
20、wants to stay up till 10:30 or 11 pm.According to researchers, this is because of a hormone called melatonin（褪黑激素）that is secreted（分泌）by the pineal gland - a tiny structure deep inside the brain. Melatonin regulates the bodys natural day-night rhythms. It causes a person to become sleepy by lowering
21、 their bodys core temperature. In teens, melatonin is secreted much later in the evening and continues to increase throughout the night. This makes it difficult for teens to fall asleep earlier as they did in their younger years. Likewise, the effect of melatonin continues until much later in the mo

To do that they need your help: specifically, a recording of
27、your voice.VocalID is the brainchild of two speech scientists, who are turning their research into a much larger project. Voice is very personal and, like a prosthetic (假体的) leg or arm，it makes sense it should be customized to each person.Heres how it worksand dont worry, this does not mean someone
28、will be walking around with the same voice as you out there：After recording a couple of hours of audio in，say, a quiet room with an iPhone，you send it to VocalID, where a program called ModelTalker cuts it up into the basic units of speech that can be recombined as new words and sentences.
