But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night 一 as well as during the day,British-based researchers sa
32、y.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of
33、sleep could put the birdshealth at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, “There have been
34、 a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output, there mtgrit be some costs of energy.“And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by
35、 artificial light. Blackoiids and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, “In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?.During the breeding(繁殖)season,between April and June,they are
36、 very active at night and very 北京中高考网专注北京中考、高考门户网站北京中高考网热线：010-57515980noisy and people cant sleep.“Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution,other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However, some b

It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.42. According to Dr Dominonis study,what causerrobins to sing

But a new study suggests they used a little rocknroll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to
41、 the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And hteres no obvious answer. On average, each of the two mollion big stones wei
42、ghed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians smehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from 北京中高考网专注北京中考、高考门户网站北京中高考网热线：010-57515980about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workes slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect wokers first wou
43、ld haveput the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evidence from
44、 the sand supports this idea. Resrarchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However , physicist Joseph West think there might have been a simpler way , led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing ho
45、w sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , Why dont they just try rolling the things ? ” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a squar
46、e”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block.That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel.Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could easily roll
47、 the block along different kinds of paths.They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding.At least,workers woldnt have needed to carry cattle fat
