Sight-seeing TechniquesDScientists have created a scent(气味)-delivery system that releases a pleasant fragrance when you sweat. A

29、pply it to your skin, and the more you sweat, the better youll smell. Thats because the perfume only gets released upon contact with moisture(湿气).Chemists from Harvard University combined two compounds to create their new system. One chemical is alcohol-based. This is the nice-smelling perfume. The

30、other chemical is an ionic liquid(离子性液体), which is a type of salt that is liquid at room temperature. Ionic liquids are made of ions-molecules（分子） that have lost or gained one or more electrons（电子）. If the molecule loses electrons, it will have a positive charge（正电荷）. If it gains electrons, it gets

31、a negative charge. Ionic liquids contain the same number of positive and negative ions, which makes them neutral, with no overall electric charge. In general, ionic liquids have no smell.When the perfume and ionic liquid are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. This bonds the molecules to eac

32、h other. The reaction also temporarily inactivates the perfumes molecules. So when applied to the skin, the new perfume has no scent in the beginning. But adding water or sweat breaks the bond between the molecules. That releases the scent into the air.“The rate of the release of the fragrance depen

33、ds on how much you sweat, in other words, how much water is available,” explains chemist Nimal Gunaratne from Harvard University, who led the research. “Sweat is like the command to let the fragrance go.”Christian Quellet is a chemist who has worked in the perfume industry for a long time. He is now

34、 an independent consultant based in Switzerland. “Gunaratnes perfume opens the door to new developments and applications of fragrance controlled-release systems,” he says. Controlled-release systems allow small quantities of some compounds that they hold to enter the environment slowly.The system al

35、so traps some chemicals in sweat that are responsible for the bad sweat smell. These compounds are called thiols (硫醇). Just as water does, thiols break apart the bond that ties the perfume to the ionic liquid. When this happens, the thiols attach to the ionic liquid and their bad scent is inactivate

36、d as the perfume had been. This means the water in sweat and its thiols are both able to release the fragrance from the newly developed perfume.27. Which of the following makes the scent delivery system special?A. When it releases scent can be well controlled.B. No perfume is required in the system.

37、C. The scent can last for a long time.D. Sweat can help release the scent.28. The scent is released into the air when _.A. the perfume comes into contact with the skinB. the perfume and ionic liquid contact each otherC. the perfumes molecules are inactivated by waterD. sweat activates the molecules
