1.(2016上)Scientists have found the first evidence that briny water may flow on the surface of Mars during the planet's summer months. The confirmation of water on the surface of Mars is important and would raise a host of questions, chief among them: Where is the water coming from, and what does it mean for the prospect of life, past or present?They found telltale fingerprints of salts that form only in the presence of water in narrow channels cut into cliff walls throughout the planet's equatorial region. The slopes appear during the warm summer months on Mars, then vanish when the temperatures drop. Scientists suspected the streaks were cut by flowing water, but had previously been unable to make the measurements.The salt content of the water is important because without it, the water would freeze in Mars' bone-chilling temperatures. The water could be coming from subsurface ice, from salts attracting water from the thin Martian atmosphere or possibly bubbling up from an aquifer.The discovery is important as it could affect thinking about whether the planet that is most like Earth in the solar system could support present-day microbial life.Mars reconnaissance orbiter makes its measurements during the hottest part of the Martian day, so scientists believed any traces of water, or fingerprints from hydrated minerals, would have evaporated. Also, the chemical-sensing instrument on the orbiting spacecraft cannot hone in on details as small as the narrow streaks, which typically are less than 16 feet wide.But scientists created a computer program that could scrutinize individual pixels. That data was then correlated with high-resolution images of the streaks. Scientists concentrated on the widest streaks and came up with a 100-percent match between their locations and detections of hydrated salts.Then,NASA declared "Mars mystery solved" in a press advisory without offering even a hint as to what mystery they meant. "It's a little bit of an over-the-top announcement by NASA," Ojha said. "There are so many mysteries to be solved."Whatever the water's source,the prospect of liquid water,even seasonally,raises the intriguing prospect that Mars could support life. Much more information about the water's chemistry, however, would be needed before scientists could make that assessment.NASA's ongoing Mars rover Curiosity has found evidence that Mars had all the ingredients and suitable habitats for microbial life to exist at some point in its past.

In just a few hours, she was due to depart on her first trip to Africa.A school friend had moved to a farm outside Nairobi and, knowing Goodall's childhood dream was to live among the African wildlife, invited her to stay with the family for a while.Goodall, then 22, saved for two years to pay for her passage to Kenya: waitressing, doing secretarial work, temping at the post office in her hometown, Bournemouth, on England's southern coast. Now all this was for naught, it seemed.It's hard not to wonder how subsequent events in her life- rather consequential as they have turned out to be to conservation,to science,to our sense of ourselves as a species-might have unfolded differently had someone not found her passport, along with an itinerary from Cook's, the travel agency, folded inside, and delivered it to the Cook's office. An agency representative, documents in hand, found her on the dock. "Incredible," Goodall told me last month,recalling that day. "Amazing."Within two months of her arrival in Kenya, Goodall met the paleontologist Louis Leakey — Nairobi was a small town for its white population in those days - and he immediately offered her a job at the natural history museum where he was curator. He spent much of the next three years testing her capacity for repetitive work.Louis Leakey believed in a hypothesis first put forth by Charles Darwin that humans and chimpanzees share an evolutionary ancestor. Close study of chimpanzees in the wild, he thought, might tell us something about that common progenitor. He was, in other words,looking for someone to live among Africa's wild animals. One night, he told Goodall that he knew just the place where she could do it: Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve, in the British colony of Tanganyika (now Tanzania).In July 1960, Goodall boarded a boat and after a few hours motoring over the warm waters of Lake Tanganyika, she stepped onto the pebbly beach at Gombe.Her finding, published in Nature in 1964, that chimpanzees use tools — extracting insects from a termite mound with leaves of grass - drastically altered humanity's understanding of itself; man was no longer the natural world's only user of tools.After two and a half decades of living out her childhood dream, Goodall made an abrupt career shift, from scientist to conservationist.

1.(2016上)人口问题归根到底是发展问题。我们应关注人口变化与可持续发展之间的关系,统筹人口数量、素质、结构、分布之间的关系,特别关注人口结构变化对经济社会发展的影响,将人口问题纳入国家经济社会发展规划,促进人口增长与经济社会发展相协调、与资源环境相适应。大规模的人口流动成为推动社会变迁和经济发展的重要力量,也加剧了家庭的小型化、多样化、离散化。人口流动和家庭结构变化对公共服务和社会治理带来挑战。我们应大力推进流动人口基本公共服务均等化,让流动人口在城镇获得均等的生存和发展机会,公平地享受公共资源和社会福利,参与政治、经济、社会和文化生活,实现经济立足、身份认同和文化交融。
