19、, he called the Wildlife Conservation Commission and they rescued the dolphin，named her Winter and took her to the center to get treatment.Winter was placed in a holding tank and the team put a feeding tube in her throat.Soon, though, Winter learned how to eat from a bottle.But the net wrapped aroun

20、d Winters tail had caused her tail to fall off piece by piece.Eventually all that was left was a fleshy stump (残肢)Though Winter did eventually start to swim, she taught herself an entirely original way to swing her tail stump from side to side like a fish.She learned very well and learned how to tru

27、ild could become the way you get into a safe deposit box, your office or past scanners at the airport.It could replace the password for your online banking, your email or your social media accounts.They started their project by measuring the brain waves of 30 subjects.The subjects were fitted with a

28、 cap that had 30 electrodes (电极) attached to it, and then shown various images and symbols celebrity faces, words, pictures of food on a computer screen in 200millisecond bursts.The brains reaction was recorded.The idea is that every time a person needs to use a “password”， he or she goes through th

35、ause.At the Conference of Governors in 1908, the question of what should be done with Americas natural resources was discussed.It might sound ordinary now, but then it was something new.Roosevelt opened the conference with a speech titled “Conservation as a National Duty”Conservation “is second only
