26、 The striking bright blues, yellows, and oranges of poison tree frogs are a typical example of warning coloration, sending a message to predators (捕食者) to stay away. But somewhat counterintuitively (反直觉地), these colors may be helping the frogs hide in plain sight, according to a new study.
These frogs live on the forest floor in the lowland rainforests of South America's Guiana Shield. The frogs are blue-black with a bright yellow ring around their head and back, which may be broken or joined to form a figure eight. Like a fingerprint, the pattern is unique to each frog.
Predators generally learn that such brightly colored frogs are poisonous and tend to avoid them. But this doesn't always work. Foolish predators ignore the warning, while some birds and snakes seem to be able to eat poisonous frogs with few ill effects.
So researchers wondered whether these poison frogs have another way of protecting themselves — camouflage (保护色). To find out, they first tested computational models of predator vision on pictures of the frogs. Their results suggested that although the frogs are obvious at close range, their colors and patterns blend (融合) with the rainforest background as viewing distance increases.
To test those results, they placed model frogs on different backgrounds in a rainforest to see how wild predators reacted. Predators attacked the frogs more often when they were placed atop a picture of plain soil or a colored paper square, but less often when they were on the actual rainforest floor.
And humans seem to fall for the trick, too. People who saw pictures of frogs in the rainforest took longer to spot the real frogs at a distance than a frog that had been altered (使变样) so that it didn't have the same colors and patterns. Together, this suggests that although these poison frogs are highly visible at close range, from far away their colors blend together for the perfect rainforest camouflage. The researchers consider that the frog's pattern is made up of a specific distribution of colors to give it the best of both worlds.

27、Ever since Zion Williamson was 5 years old, he wanted to be a basketball star. But to get there, he needed a lot of encouragement and coaching along the way, and there was no one that better than his mother, Sharonda Sampson. She coached Zion in every youth basketball league he ever played. Sampson was a collegiate track star and later became a middle school health and physical education teacher.
He has got up at 5:30 a.m. to head to the outdoor court and play basketball since he was 9 years old. Zion's hard work began to pay off when he entered high school, where he became a YouTube hit for his high-flying dunks (灌篮)and powerful moves. But Sampson wanted her son to not only work hard at being great but study how the legends of the game went about their skills.
“When I started playing, my mom said there were three players she wanted me to watch — Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Michael Jordan,” Williamson said. “Even though I wasn't alive when he (Jordan) was doing those things, it just attracted me. Everything he did was just incredible.”
The national spotlight shined on Zion during his one year of collegiate basketball at Duke University, where he was coached by five-time national champion Mike Krzyzewski. The most storied rivalry in the collegiate game is between Duke and North Carolina, where Jordan won a national championship back in the 1980s.
Shortly after his freshman season, Zion declared for the NBA Draft. Sampson was by her son's side when he was chosen by the Pelicans as the top player. “I wouldn't be here without my mom” said Zion with tears streaming down his face after his selection.
Zion was brilliant in the first 19 games of his regular-season NBA career, averaging over 23 points and six rebounds per game, before the coronavirus (冠状病毒)crisis forced the league to shut down. The 19-year-old Zion says he's been staying fit and will be ready to go when the league resumes.

29、 More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1. 67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buyingback is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.
