37、rf Camp on any day in June.B A strange army of giants stands around the edges of a remote island in the Pacific Ocean.Or at least that's how it might appear.The figures lining Easter Island are actually huge stones carved to look like hulking(笨重的)human figures.The statues have”guarded” these coa

38、sts for centuries.But not even the islanders are sure how they got there.Join scientific detectives as they investigate this historical mystery.The Mystery Nearly a thousand giant stone figures stand side by side on Easter Island, now a part of Chile.Called moai (MOH-eye) by the locals, the statues

39、can weigh more than 80 tons一about as much as ten whales一and some stand as tall as a three-story building. Scientists think islanders began creating the moai some 800 years ago to honor their ancestors.In land, scientists found a volcanic crater and dug out ancient tools there used to carve figures f

40、rom the volcanic rock.But the crater(火山口) is far from where most of the statues now stand.And scientists know the people didn't have wheels or animals to move the rock giants. So how did the stone figures travel as far as 11 miles from the crater to the island's coasts? Some ideas are pretty

41、 wild一people have suggested that the moai walked by themselves, or even that space aliens beamed down to lend a hand.Scientists struggled to Easter Island to find out the truth.The Detectives "Heave-ho!" cry a group of scientists as they pull on ropes tied to a huge statue.The investigator

42、s are seeking clues about the moai in one of Easter Island's green valleys.Wondering if the islanders could have transported the statues upright with just rope and muscle power, they wrapped three strong ropes around the forehead of a ten-foot-tall moai copy.With several people pulling each rope

43、.they're able to rock the 10,000-pound figure side to side, moving it forward with every tug(拖拽)·"The statue's shape makes this movement fairly easy," team leader Carl Lipo says.In the past, researchers have tried other moving methods.One group tied rope to the top and base of

44、 an actual moai and attempted to drag it forward with twisting motions.Another team laid a real 13-foot moai onto a giant log and pulled the log forward.All the experiments shared one result: The investigators got serious pain!The Evidence Although various scientific sleuths (偵查) found ways to move

45、the moai, researchers still don't agree on what really happened.Some of these techniques might have only worked over short distances and on flat land.Others would have damaged the moai.; Many people think the statues were laid horizontally on wooden sleds which were dragged with rope across log

46、tracks."This would have been the safest way to move the moai," archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg says."It explains why hardly any are damaged." But the truth may never be revealed.(Experts are pretty sure, though, that aliens weren't involved.)After all, the islanders stopped

47、 making the statues at least 300 years ago, later hundreds of islanders left the island or caught deadly diseases brought by explorers.Many of the tnoai's secrets disappeared with them.Today the only remaining witnesses to the events are the moai themselves.

52、e glasses, which can block certain wavelengths of light emitted by electronic screens, make it easier to sleep. Studies have shown that such light, especially from the blue part of the spectrum (光譜),inhibits the body's production of melatonin(褪黑激素)，which helps people fall asleep.Options arc growing for blocking blue light, though experts caution that few have been adequately tested for effectiveness and the best solution remains avoiding brightly lit electronics at night.
