Bill Bryson’s phenomenally popular books are a great success of amateur enthusiasm over scholarly expertise. In
the highly reviewed Shakespeare (2007), he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in 222 pages; A Short
History of Nearly Everything (2003) was his 624-page analysis of “everything that has happened from the Big Bang to
the rise of civilisation” — and it remains the best-selling science book of the 21st century so far. Can he make it again
with A Really Short Journey Through the Body, which promises us a “head to toe” tour in 138 pages?
In his books for adult readers, Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast, complex subjects into an easy
and pleasant narrative, filled with tiny facts and odd stories. His latest book, which follows his adult title The Body
(2020), is aimed at children as young as eight, for whom this proven writing style works well.
“No doubt about it, the human body is a truly remarkable thing,” Bryson writes, and it’s the remarkable facts that
interest him the most. Did you know that you blink 14,000 times a day? Or that it takes seven billion billion billion
atoms to make you? And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line, it would reach 10 billion miles across the
solar system?
Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief. The tongue, for example, receives only a
paragraph, while, a chapter, entitled ‘Poo and Farts’, is relatively detailed: “In your life, you’ll probably poo the
weight of 5 cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of 60. So that’s not a terrible result.”
Biology books can be heavy weather; but Bryson’s skill, as ever, is to turn the story of the human body into a
thoroughly digestible read.
4. What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body (2020) have in common?
A. They are easy to read. B. They are both about physics.
C. They are intended for adults. D. They are both best-selling books.
5. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To analyze the structure of the book.
B. To illustrate the attraction of the book.
C. To show the scientific value of the book.
D. To display the main contents of the book.
6. What does the underlined phrase “heavy weather” mean in the last paragraph?
A. Packed with facts. B. Weather-related.
C. Hard to understand. D. Popular and readable.
7. What is the text?
A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on biology.
C. A news report on science. D. A biography of a writer.
C
Strategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers (高分子聚合物) actually makes them
harder to tear, researchers report in the June 23 Science. Polymers are used in car tires, and therefore the findings
could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.
When tires rub against the road, they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers, which pollute waterways
and air. Every year, tires release an estimated 6 million metric tons of these microplastics into environment. Stronger
polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.
To make such tough materials, Stephen Craig, a chemist at Duke University, and colleagues added molecules
called cross-linkers to the polymers. These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors, and
they were specifically designed to break apart easily. At the microscopic scale, the polymers act like a tangle (乱团) of
spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape, says Craig’s collaborator
Shu Wang, a chemist at MIT. When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti, the individual cross-linkers broke easily,
as expected. But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.
The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take, Craig says. The tear goes through the
easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains. Each broken connection follows the path
of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers, which requires more
stretching force overall.
This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger. But unlike in similar
materials, the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness ( 风度 ).
Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics, potentially limiting annual
microplastic pollution.
8. What benefit does the new material bring?
A. It meets the road standard. B. It weakens plastic polymers.
C. It releases less microplastics. D. It reduces the cost of car tires.
9. What can we know about the tangle material?
A. It follows the pattern of spaghetti. B. It is designed to fall apart easily.
C. The polymers help keep its shape. D. The larger tangle is harder to break.
10. What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?
A. The weakness of the cross-linker.
