Europa’s Watery UnderworldEuropa, one of Jupiter’s 63 known moons, looks bright and icy on the surface. But appearances can be deceiving: Miles within its cracked, frigid shell, Europa probably hides giant pools of liquid water. Where scientists find liquid water, they hope to find life as well.Since we can’t go diving into Europa’s depths just yet, scientists instead have to investigate the moon’s surface for clues to what lies beneath. In a new study, scientists investigated one group of strange ice patterns on Europa and concluded that the formations mark the top of an underground pool that holds as much water as the U.S. Great Lakes.Pictures of Europa, which is slightly smaller than Earth’s moon, clearly show a tangled(错综复杂的), icy mishmash(混合物) of lines and cracks known as “chaos terrains.(混乱地形)” These chaotic places cover more than half of Europa. For more than 10 years, scientists have wondered what causes the formations. The new study suggests that they arise from the mixing of vast underground stores of liquid water with icy material near the surface.For scientists who suspect that Europa also may be hiding life beneath its icy surface, the news about the new lake is exciting.“It would be great if these lakes harbored life,” Britney Schmidt, a planetary scientist who worked on the study, told Science News. “But evenif they didn’t, they say that Europa is doing something interesting and active right now.”Schmidt, a scientist at the University of Texas at Austin, and her colleagues wanted to know how chaos terrains form. Since they couldn’t rocket to Europa to see for themselves, they searched for similar formations here on Earth. They studied collapsed ice shelves in Antarctica and icy caps on volcanoes in Iceland. Those features on Earth formed when liquid water mixed with ice. The scientists now suspect something similar might be happening on Europa: that as water and ice of different temperatures mingle and shift, the surface fractures. This would explain the jumbled(混乱的)ice sculptures.“Fracturing catastrophically(灾难性的)disrupts the ice in the same way that it causes ice shelves to collapse on Earth,” Schmidt told Science News. She and her team found that the process could be causing chaos terrains to form quickly on Europa.The new study suggests that on this moon, elements such as oxygen from the surface blend with the deep bodies of water. That mixture may create an environment that supports life.16. The liquid water of an underground pool of Europa is estimated xxxxx of the US Great lakes.A. RightB. WrongC. Not mention博大考神答案：A17.

Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are severalfurniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market. One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Consider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.41.

You can create an air of confidence and safety by:· being in control, both of yourself and the problem;· acting calmly and reasonably;· being gentle, but firm, with your hands, and speaking to the casualty kindly, but hopefully. Building up trustTalk to the casualty throughout your examination and treatment (治疗).· Explain what you are going to do.· Try to answer questions honestly to reduce fears as best as you can.
