　　Many people may have thought that the world population World population will just keep rising, haven't they?

15．The 17-day 2022 Winter Olympics from Feb. 4 through Feb. 20 in Beijing saw many cool things that made things much easier for fans and sportsman. Now, let's look at some of them.

16．　　The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London planning to study law but went to art school instead. There he found the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still keep on painting.
　　In his late twenties, he was given money by the Italian government to study art in Rome and liked early Italian artists, which shows in some of his works. He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and wanted to put this light into his paintings.
　　This led him to paint colors thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but he insists he never sure what the results will be. He says, "It's a secret — because I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put anything on top. "Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy. "Anyone can do the colors — you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colors next to."
　　Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he feels that if he did might get bored and not do the painting afterwards. Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. This explains why his favorite models are people who don't ask to see their pictures while he's painting them. "If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it."
　　Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting scene. He says he doesn't want to follow any tradition, but just paints the way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.

　　In the 1920s and 1930s, the airlines were just beginning. It was (1)       for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men, or "steward", helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers' luggage but they did not provide food and drinks. But then1930, a woman called Ellen Church, (2)       the "stewardess".
　　Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iova. She was a different child. She didn't want to work on the farm or marry a farmer — she wanted a more adventurous life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital.

　　It's now common for doctors to do human organ (器官)transplants (移植). But what happened if doctors put a pig's heart into a human?Recently, American doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center not only made it but made it big. (1)      
　　It was my last choice, either die or do this transplant. "said David Bennett, who couldn't receive a human heart transplant because of heart failure, and was given a pig's instead.
　　Transplants usually come from people who have died. (2)      For example there are about 110000 Americans on the waiting list. More than 6000 patients die each year before getting one. (3)      This is hard because the human body almost always rejects (排斥) something that isn't its own.
　　So, why did doctors choose to use a pig's heart rather than other animals?Because pigs, bodies are similar to humans in many ways. (4)      But there's a problem:Pig organs have a special chemical that causes human bodies to reject them. To solve the problem, scientists have changed the pig's DNA, and even added some things normally found in human DNA.
　　Three days after receiving the new heart, Bennett seemed to be doing very well. Experts say it still needs time before operations(手术)like this become normal. (5)      Doors are starting to open, which will lead to major changes in how we do organ transplants.

　　On March 21, MU5735 crashed in Guangxi province. After the accident, workers have been searching hard for the black box. Airplane accidents are few. When they do happen, however, they could mean a large number of deaths. People want answers in order to know why their loved ones lost their lives. And that is where the black box comes into play .
　　A black box is an electronic recording device placed in an airplane to help record information of flying accidents. There are two different flight recorder devices. The flight data(数据)recorder( FDR)records the recent history of the flight through the recording of plenty of data collected several times per second;the cockpit(机舱)voice recorder(CVR)records the recent history of the sounds in the cockpit, including the conversation of the pilots. The two devices may be combined in a single unit. A black box is the size of a shoe box.
　　The name black box was a World War II British phrase. In the war many secret electronic devices were placed in black boxes or housings. That's why it's called black box. But actually the recorders inside are bright orange so that workers can find them more easily in the remains after an accident. EDR and CVR are usually kept in the tail of an airplane where they are more possible to survive a crash.
　　These are highly resilient (有韧性白勺) pieces. Before being put into use, they are tested to see if they can stand a crash into a wall at 750 kilometers per hour a pressure of 2. 25 tons for at least five minutes and a maximum temperature of 1100° for one hour.
　　However, a CVR can store only two hours of cockpit voice recording. It looks increasingly possible that the little black box will be replaced by satellite sending all important data directly to a ground﹣based station, which help to avoid the difficulty of searching for the box and save time. The scientists face challenges such as data recording speed and the length of battery life.
