Climate change causes chclate price increase 气候变化导致巧克力价格上涨
我们平时吃的大多数巧克力都是用在西非种植的可可豆制成的，但今年 2 月西非遭遇严重干旱，破坏了可可树的生长，减少了可可豆的产量。可可豆是生产巧克力的主要原料，可可豆短缺意味着巧克力的价格在未来几个月将变得更贵。

'Perfect slar system' fund in search fr alien life 科学家在寻找外星生命的过程中发现“完美太阳系”
研究人员在宇宙中发现了一个“完美的太阳系”，它是在没有发生剧烈碰撞的条件下形成的。
而地球所在的太阳系正是因为在形成时发生剧烈碰撞而成为了由不同大小的行星构成的大杂烩。新发现的行星系统距离地球 100 光年，由六颗大小基本一致的行星构成。这些行星自 120 亿年前形成以来几乎没有发生过改变。
Our slar system had a vilent beginning. Wrlds crashed int each ther as they frmed, disturbing their rbits and eventually leading t the planets f vastly different sizes that we knw tday.
我们所在的太阳系的初始环境充斥着剧烈运动。太阳系中的天体在相互碰撞中形成了各个星球，并扰乱了彼此的运行轨道，最终形成了我们今天所知的大小截然不同的行星。
But a hundred light years away, astrnmers have discvered anther slar system – ne that was created in much calmer cnditins withut s many
vilent cllisins.
但在 100 光年之外，天文学家在那里发现了另一个太阳系 —— 这个行星系统是在更平静的条件下形成的，没有发生过如此多的剧烈碰撞。
As a result, all six f its planets are f similar size, between tw and three times the size f the Earth, and their rbits are in perfect sync with each ther. It als has a bright star that makes it easier t study their atmspheres fr signs f life.
正因如此，这个行星系统中的六颗行星大小相仿，基本都是地球大小的两至三倍，而且这六颗行星是以一种完美的轨道共振方式在进行公转。新发现的行星系统中还有一颗明亮的恒星，这有助于人们研究这些行星的大气层以寻找生命迹象。

Bad dreams 'help t cntrl fear when awake'
不愉快的梦 “有助于控制醒来时的恐惧”
如果你昨晚做了一个不愉快的梦，这可能起到积极的作用。因为研究表明，睡眠中感到害怕有助于在清醒时控制恐惧。
Our dreams – why we have them and what's in them – has lng been a subject f fascinatin. Nw, a new study, published in the jurnal Human Brain Mapping, demnstrates that dreams help us react better t frightening situatins in ur waking lives.
长久以来，我们的梦——为什么做梦以及梦里有什么一直是一个令人着迷的话题。现在，一项发表在《人脑图谱》期刊上的新研究表明，梦能帮我们在清醒状态下更好地应对可怕的情况。
Scientists frm Geneva placed electrdes n 18 subjects whm they wke several times during the night. The researchers wanted t track brain activity during dreams, especially fearful nes. They fund that regins f the brain react t fear in the same way while asleep and when awake.
来自日内瓦的科学家们在 18 名受试者身上放置了电极，并在夜间多次叫醒他们。研究人员想跟踪并记录他们在梦中，特别是在做可怕的梦时的脑部活动。他们发现，大脑的部分区域在睡眠中和清醒时应对恐惧的方式相同。
The researchers next gave a dream diary t 89 participants fr a week. At the end f the week, they were placed in a magnetic resnance imaging machine r MRI and shwn emtinally negative images, such as assaults r distressful situatins, as well as neutral images. Dr Lamprs Pergamvrs said he was surprised by the utcmes.
接下来，研究人员将一本梦境日记发给了 89 名实验参与者，让他们进行为期一周的记录。在这周结束时，他们让参与者躺在磁共振成像机内，向他们展示了一些消极情绪的图像，比如袭击或痛苦的场面，以及无明显情绪倾向的图像。兰普洛斯·佩洛甘姆洛斯博士对该研究结果表示惊讶。
These results reinfrce a neurscientific thery abut dreams, that we simulate frightening situatins while dreaming in rder t better react t them nce we're awake. Dr Pergamvrs is als interested in nightmares, but he cautins they might nt have the same beneficial rle as fearful dreams. He says, unlike bad dreams, in which the level f fear is mderate, nightmares are characterised by an excessive level f fear that disrupts sleep and has a negative impact n the individual nce awake.
这些结果进一步证实了一个关于梦的神经科学理论：我们在做梦时会模拟令人害怕的场景，以确保醒来后能更好地应对这类情况。佩洛甘姆洛斯博士对噩梦也很感兴趣，但他提醒人们，噩梦可能起不到与可怕的梦境相同的积极作用。他说，与恐惧度适中的可怕梦境不同的是，噩梦的特点是恐惧度过高，这种恐惧会扰乱睡眠并对清醒状态下的人产生负面影响。
