11、rences?For example,people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables,while people from northChinalike to eat meat.According to a new study in a journal,gene variations(变异)might be responsible for these differences.Researchers fromChinas BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women,wh

12、o came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed,affecting their food preferences,immunities(免疫力)to illness and physical features.A variation

13、of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people.It helps people metabolize(新陈代谢)fatty acids,which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh.This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude.This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in.Therefore,northerners tend to e

14、at more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups.Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1,which protects against malaria.Malaria was once quite common in southernChina.In order to survive,the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease.H

15、owever,people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses,as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners.Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene,which causes dry earwax,less body smell and fewer sweats.These physical diff

19、r video games are bad for you.Weve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below,so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013,psychologist(心理学家)Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became

20、bigger than before.These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能),memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动)function.Last year,psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline.Dr.Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Assoc

21、iation said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.Dr.Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain&Cognitive Sciences.Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test,where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test,and those who spend

22、 long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.“Actually,those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,”said Bavelier,“and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of

23、objects.”“So,in a sense,when we think about the influence of video games on the brain,its very similar to the influence of wine on the health.There are some very poor uses of wine.There are some very poor uses of video games.But when drunk in reasonable amounts,and at the right age,wine can be very

28、it can be done with the Tasmanian tiger,it may also be possible to resurrect(复活)creatures that have been extinct for far longer.“There used to be a time when extinction meant forever,but no more,”said Professor Mike Archer.“We are now able to seriously challenge whether those animals that have gone

29、for ever.What has been achieved is a very important step in bringing back those animals that are extinct.And while I think that technically it is still pretty difficult at the moment,we can now see the possibilities.Im personally convinced that the Tasmanian tiger will be brought back to life in my

30、lifetime.”The breakthrough came after nine years of experiments by scientists at the University of Melbourne,who extracted a gene from one of several tigers preserved in alcohol in a Melbourne museum.They removed the equivalent gene from a mouse embryo implanted the tiger gene and then watched as th

31、e mouse continued to grow normally,suggesting the tiger gene had been activated.Team leader Dr.Andrew Pask said it was the first time DNA from an extinct species had been used to“induce(引起)a functional response in another living organism”.However,the animals entire gene structure would have to be re
