We are doing a lot of similar programs, and in the next 570 days or so, as we count down to the Games, you will see more examples with strong Oriental spirit and identity.He certainly has a sense of hist
20、ory. The Olympic spirit, which is an ancient spirit from over 2,000 years ago, is alive.

Suddenly a huge shark appears off
24、shore and heads for the bathers. Before it can get close to the swimmers, the shark, for some mysterious reason, starts swimming parallel to the beach. Then it turns away from the shore and heads out to sea, leaving the swimmers untouched.Such a scene will soon become common along shark-in-fasted (鲨
25、鱼成群的) shores. An electrical engineer from the University of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels (击退) sharks by controlling their movements. Confused by this action, the sharks end up turning away from the beach.In this unusual shark-repellent method, an insulated (绝缘的) cable is b
26、uried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim.

The electricity prod
27、uces a reflex (反射作用) action in the shark s muscles, causing the dangerous animal to swim parallel to the cable. Confused by increasing loss of control of its muscles, the shark suddenly changes its direction and heads seaward, away from the electric field.In a test of the invisible new shark-repelle
28、nt system, a cable was placed around a beach in St. Lucia, an island around the beach a long time ago to keep sharks away from swimmers, and a net was left in place during the experiment.When the electric field was left on for more than a year and a half, no sharks were found in the net. However, wh
