2、t solutions.A 1,400-year-old Peruvian method of diverting water could supply up to 40,000 Olympic-size swimming pools worth of water to Lima each year.It is one 1 of how ancient methods could support existing modern ones in countries without enough water.Man-made reservoirs store rainwater and water

3、 overflow for use during dries times.But reservoirs are costly,require years to plan and can still 2 to meet water needs.Perus capital,Lima,depends on water from rivers high in the Andes Mountains.It takes only a few days for water to flow down to the city.So when the dry season begins in the mounta

5、o increase the water supply during the dry season by diverting and slowing water as it travels down the mountains.This 6 -based method is made of special canals that guide water from its source to a series of water bodies and hillsides.The water goes 7 into the ground,then flows downhill through the

6、 soil and 8 in water bodies near the community.Its aim was to increase the waters travel time from days to months in order to provide water throughout the day season.The researchers 9 how much the system slowed the flow of water by -2-injecting special dye in the highlands and noting when it reappea

8、ed in Huamantanga with the knowledge of physical 13 of Limas surroundings.The resulting estimates say the system could increase Limas dry-season water supply by 7.5 percent overall and up to 33 percent at the start of the dry season.The system is also 14 sound.Ochoa-Tocachi,a researcher,estimated th

13、photographs of faces can help doctors 17 the possibilities.Yaron Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built neural network to look at the overall impression of faces and 18 a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.They 19 the neural network,called Deep

14、Gestalt,on17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 genetic syndromes.The team then asked the Al to 20 potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions.It included the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.Gurovich and

15、 his team also 21 the neural networks ability to distinguish between the different genetic mutations(变异)that can lead to the same syndrome.They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome,which can result from mutations in any one of five genes.DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source

16、 of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time.Its clearly not 22 but its still much better than humans are at trying to do this.As the system makes its assessments,the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are 23 and made available for doctors to view.This helps them to un

19、many,many years.This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and then 29 the diagnosis through checking genetic markers.For some diseases,it will cut down the time to diagnosis dramatically.For others,it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and,30 help fi

44、er market,for example,Tommy Hilfiger.Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass-market sales than on 89 designs.Some well-known designers have even teamed up with international high street shops who want to add a luxury product to their range.90 ,the London branch of H&M,a clothing company f

45、rom Stockholm,has started selling cut-price clothes by high-fashion designers.Recently,hundreds of people 91 outside for up to 12 hours to buy clothes designed by Lanvin!Some camped there overnight,even though at the time England was -9-experiencing an extremely cold winter.Is this 92 to labelled go

46、ods really worth all the trouble?An article in The Economist suggests labelled clothes really do 93 the wearers.It quotes research from Tilburg University,in the Netherland,which explains that such clothes bring status and even job recommendations,but only when the label is 94 !The universitys first

47、 research experiment involved photos of a man wearing a polo shirt.The photos were digitally 95 so that one shirt had no logo,another had a luxury-designer logo and the third had a non-luxury logo.On a five-point scale for status,the luxury designer logo rated 3.5,no logo rated 2.91 and the non-luxu

48、ry logo came last,rated 2.84.It seems it may be better to have no logo at all than to have the 96 logo!In another experiment,people watched one of two videos of a job interview of the same man.In one,his shirt had a luxury logo on it,in the other it didnt.The man with the logo was rated more 97 the

49、job and even received a recommendation for a 9%higher salary!The research concluded that like a peacocks tail,designer labels are seen as 98 of superior status:the peacock with the best tail gets all the girls.But while a peacock cant make his tail look more attractive,it seems humans can 99 their s
