听力原文: Piglets may be happy wallowing in the mud, but they get a much better start in life if they are nurtured on a warm waterbed. Instead of snuggling up to their mothers for warmth in their cold pigsty and running the risk of being crushed--a common cause of early death--German scientists said waterbeds could be a safer alternative.
When Martin Ziron and researchers at the Institute of Animal Breeding and Genetics in Giessen, Germany tested various heating methods on 1,400 piglets during their first weeks of life, waterbeds won hands down.
'Around 99 percent of the piglets preferred warm waterbeds to any of the alternatives, spending well over half the day lounging about on them and only getting up to feed or play,' New Scientist said Wednesday.
The scientists compared the number of injures, which usually occur while scrambling for a feeding position, and the weight gain of the piglets which were provided with plastic plates, foam mats waterbeds, straw or concrete. Piglets on the waterbeds had fewer injuries and gained much more weight than the animals kept on concrete.
According to the magazine, the waterbeds are made from a tough plastic membrane and can be heated from underneath by an electric mat or from above by infrared lamps.

听力原文: Mosquitoes do not randomly perch on just anyone's body and begin sucking for the most fragrantly appealing humans. Mosquitoes use odor to sort attractive people from the unattractive to find those that are most tasty. Researchers found one sure way to stop attracting the little bugs--stop breathing. Mosquitoes can sniff out an attractive target from as far as 40 miles. When humans exhale, they expel a plume of CO2 and other odors that travel through the air. The appetizing stir is the equivalent of a dinner bell, alerting mosquitoes that a warm meal is within range. When a mosquito is trailing an attractive target, it zigzags up the breath plume until it makes contact, landing on the skin and patiently searching for just the right spot to insert its stylet for an eight-to-ten second feeding. Perspiration, a barely avoidable human condition, also is a mosquito lure--but only if the sweat has formed , bacteria. Bathing helps reduce the attractiveness of sticky bodies, but after-bath products don't. Skin-care products that clean, soften and moisturize not only improve a person's appearance, they're also attractive to mosquitoes. Certain medications, including heart and blood pressure medicine, also alter a person's likelihood of being bitten. Scientists conducted the research to explore the tastes of mosquitoes and help humans protect themselves from mosquito-borne disease.All of the following are causes of being bitten by mosquitoes EXCEPT ______.A.carbon dioxide and other odorsB.sweatC.the quality of your skinD.heart and blood pressure medicine
