BCimabue, the greatest painter of a Middle Ages in Italy, was surprised one day after his lunch break to discover that a fly had seated itself under the nose of a character that he had been working on. He swatted (重拍) at the fly,
10、but it did not move. He reached out to touch the insect, only to find it was only wet paint. Turning around, he saw that his apprentice (学徒), Giotto, was laughing. Giotto had painted the fly when Cimabue was away, and it looked so real that Cimabue had been completely fooled. Giotto di Bondone was b
11、orn into a poor family in a village. Legend has it that one day, when Cimabue was wandering around the countryside, he spotted a young shepherd boy drawing pictures of his sheep, which were so vivid that Cimabue immediately asked him to come to Florence and learn how to paint. That was how Giottos s
12、tory began in Florence, where the young student flourished under Cimabues instruction and soon surpassed his master in skill. At that time, people in paintings didnt look real, and the symbolism of art was difficult for viewers to connect with it. Innovation (创新) was not stressed, so art had remaine
13、d the same for hundreds of years. However, Giotto thought art should be something more, connected with people in a more realistic way. His masterpieces included the forty major frescoes (壁画) for the Arena Chapel. Adopting many techniques that were uncommon then, he painted people the way he saw them
14、, instead of the overly tall and boxy people that other artists painted. He created three-dimensional space by using perspective, something that had not been done since Roman times.In addition to painting, Giotto wrote poetry and drew architectural plans.

An ambitious new programme allows doctors to write prescriptions (处方) for free annual passes to Canadas national parks, encouraging their patients to improve their health both mental and physical by ta

The first passes were handed out last month, giving holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves.

Participating doctors have only 100 annual passes to hand out for now, but PaRX hopes that the programme will be expanded. “Medical researc

27、 Access to ParksDFew animals appear more affectionate than the black-browed albatross (信天翁). These large seabirds are socially monogamous (一夫一妻制的) and often mate for life, staying with the same partner with trust. But “divorce” is not unheard of. As is the case with other monogamous animals, a femal
28、e albatross will leave a partnership that lacks breeding (繁殖) success. Although “divorce” is natural among these birds, Ventura recently began noticing that its rates seemed to vary from year to year for the roughly 15,500 pairs of black-browed albatrosses breeding on New Island. “There were clearly
29、 years in which more pairs split up, compared with the previous years,” says Ventura, whose team combed through about 15 years of breeding data.To investigate, the group focused on two environmental variables (变数) vital to the albatross: wind speed and sea-surface temperature. Each affects the birds
30、 in different ways. Higher winds make it easier for them to soar for greater distances to gather food. Increasing sea-surface temperatures, on the other hand, limit the nutrients available tothe albatross bycurbing the production of phytoplankton (浮游植物), which hashugeeffects on the rest of the marin

As a result, albatrosses must travel farther and struggle more to find enough food.This throws breeding schedules intodisarrayand increases stress levels among partnerships both factors that can decrease breeding success. And digging deeper, the team found that in warmer years female alb
32、atrosses were more likely to leave their mate even after successful breeding attempts. “Previous successful females are theones that are most affected by this.” Ventura says. Ventura assumes that similar patterns may appear in other seabird populations and possibly among some monogamous mammals, highlighting a potentially overlooked consequence of climate change. “If you have a situation where increasing sea-surfacetemperatureisleading to higher divor
