　　Imagine you’re in a dark room, running your fingers over a smooth surface in search of a single dot the size of this period, How high do you think the dot must be for your finger to feel it?

　　Scientists have determined that the human finger is so sensitive it can detect a surface bump just one micron（l6m）"high． The human eyeby contrast, can't tell anything much smaller than100 microns．evolution: even the simplest single-celled living things can feel when something brushes up against them and will respond by moving closer or pulling away． t is the first sense aroused during a baby’s development and the last to weaken at life's peak． Patients in a deep coma （昏迷）who seem otherwise lost to the world will show skin reaction when touched by a nurse．

　　“Touch ,is so central to what we are that we almost cannot imagine ourselves without it,” said Chris Djkerman．“It's 'not like eyesight, where you close your eyes and you don't see anything． You can't do tat with touch．It's always there．"

　　Long igned in favor of the sensory heavyweights of eyesight and hearing, the study of touch lately:: has been gaining new concern among scientists．They're exploring the effects of recently reported false touch impressions, of people being made to feel as though they had three arms, for example, with the hope of gaining the true understanding of how the mind works．

　　Others are turning to touch for more practical purposes: to build better touch screen instruments and robot hands, a more well-rounded virtual life．。“There's a fair amount of research into new ways of offloading information onto our sense of touch," said Lynette Jones． "To have your cell phone buzzing （making a low sound） as opposed to ringing turned out to have a ot of advantages in．soe situations．"

　　Toch is our most active sense, our means of seizing the world and experiencing it 'first hand． Dr．Susan Lederman pointed out that while we can become aware of something by seeing or hear,ing7;-．from a distance and without really trying, if we want to learn about something by means of touch, we must make a move．We must rub the cloth, or pet the cat． Touching is a two-way street, and that's not true for seeing or hearing． If you have a soft object and you squeeze it, you change its shape． The physical world reacts back．"

　　Our has are smart and can do many tasks automatically - button a shirt, fit a key in a lock, play the; piano for others．Dr．Lederman and her colleagues hae shown that blindfolded subjects can easily recognize a wide range of common -objects placed．in their hands．But on some feeling tasks, touch is all thumbs （very clumsy）． When people are given a raised line drawing of a common object, they're puzzled．“If all we've got is outline information;" Dr．with that．"

　　Touch also turns out to be easy to fool, Among the sensory tricks now being investigated is something called the Pinocchio illusion． Researchers have found that if they shke the band of the biceps（二头肌）, many people report feeling that their forearm is getting 'longer, their hand floating ever further from their elbow（肘）． And if they are told to touch the forefinger of the shaken arm to the tip of their nose, they feel as though their nose was lengthening, too．

　　A child’s visit to the dentist can be scary; especially if it is their first time. Let’s face it, this can even scare an adult, too. In order to make it a good experience for the child, there are some things that can prepare them for that visit to the dental office.

　　Children should usually start going to the dentist around age three to have their teeth examined and make sure there are no cavities (龋齿). Before they start going, you may want them to come with you to your dental appointments so that they can see that you are not afraid of having someone look at your teeth with sharp objects. This way, they will know the office personnel and, of course, the dental specialist. The dental professional will be able to explain what is done during the exam by checking their teeth and cleaning them. This should help the child settle down before their actual scheduled appointment.

　　As a parent, you can talk about your positive experiences at the dental office and letting them know how important it is to keep your teeth healthy so that you can have a big beautiful smile. There are also books and even DVDs available to prepare them for the big day as well. Most books will show what to expect during their exam which may include what the dentist will do. This can be a great way to calm their nerves so that they are not so stressed and worried about going to their exam. Just remember, keep talking about the subject while keeping it a very positive thing.

　　With doing some of these things, it should be a positive experience for your child. Take the time to prepare them and even the night before the appointment, make sure they get a good night’s rest and a nutritious meal beforehand so that they are not moody before the visit to help make it a little easier for everyone. Every child’s visit to the dentist should be a good experience with these tips that are mentioned.

　　较难题目特训：科普知识类

　　Plants can’t communicate by moving or making sounds, as most animals do. Instead, plants produce volatile compounds, chemicals that easily change from a liquid to a gas. A flower’s sweet smell, for example, comes from volatile compounds that the plant produces to attract insects such as bugs and bees.

　　Plants can also detect volatile compounds produced by other plants. A tree under attack by hungry insects, for instance, may give off volatile compounds that let other trees know about the attack. In response, the other trees may send off chemicals to keep the bugs away—or even chemicals that attract the bugs’ natural enemies.

　　Now scientists have created a quick way to understand what plants are saying:　a chemical sensor(传感器) called an electronic nose. The“e-nose” can tell compounds that crop plants make when they’re attacked. Scientists say the e-nose could help quickly detect whether plants are being eaten by insects. But today the only way to detect such insects is to visually inspect individual plants. This is a challenging task for managers of greenhouses, enclosed gardens that can house thousands of plants.

　　The research team worked with an e-nose that recognizes volatile compounds. Inside the device, 13 sensors chemically react with volatile compounds. Based on these interactions, the e-nose gives off electronic signals that the scientists analyze using computer software.

　　To test the nose, the team presented it with healthy leaves from cucumber, pepper and tomato plants, all common greenhouse crops. Then the scientists collected samples of air around damaged leaves from each type of crop. These plants had been damaged by insects, or by scientists who made holes in the leaves with a hole punch(打孔器).

　　The e-nose, it turns out, could identify healthy cucumber, peper and tomato plants based on the volatile compounds they produce. It could also identify tomato leaves that had been damaged. But even more impressive, the device could tell which type of damage—by insects or with a hole punch—had been done to the tomato leaves.

　　With some fine-tuning, a device like the e-nose could one day be used in greenhouses to quickly spot harmful bugs, the researchers say. A device like this could also be used to identify fruits that are perfectly ripe and ready to pick and eat, says Natalia Dudareva, a biochemist at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. who studies smells of flowers and plants. Hopefully, scientists believe, the device could bring large benefits to greenhouse managers in the near future.

　　1. We learn from the text that plants communicate with each other by　.　

　　A. making some sounds

　　B. waving their leaves

　　C. producing some chemicals　

　　D. sending out electronic signals

　　2. What did the scientists do to find out if the e-nose worked?

　　A. They presented it with all common crops.

　　B. They fixed 13 sensors inside the device.

　　C. They collected different damaged leaves.

　　D. They made tests on damaged and healthy leaves.

　　3. According to the writer, the most amazing thing about the e-nose is that it can　.　

　　A. pick out ripe fruits

　　B. spot the insects quickly

　　C. distinguish different damages to the leaves

　　D. recognize unhealthy tomato leaves

　　4. We can infer from the last paragraph that the e-nose　.　

　　A. is unable to tell the smell of flowers

　　B. is not yet used in greenhouses

　　C. is designed by scientists at Purdue

　　D. is helpful in killing harmful insects
