Have you ever noticed that your fingertips are wrinkled (起皱的) when you’ve just finished swimming or washing dishes? It seems as if your hands have aged 30 years in a second. But is this an accident? Or is it something that nature has built into our bodies?
“If your finger’s wrinkling up had no use at all, it wouldn’t need to.” Professor Tom Smulders from Newcastle University UK told BBC News. By studying wet fingers closely, Smulders and his partners found that the wrinkles looked a bit like
B. a science magazine D. a book review
the patterns on the car tire or the bottom of the running shoes. So they made a guess that wrinkles on fingers might be able to help the hand hold things more tightly.
To test this, researchers asked 20 people to pick up marbles (大理石) from water with their hands. But before they started, some of the people had to keep their hands in water for half an hour. The researchers found that the people with wrinkled fingers completed the task faster than those with dry hands. But when they were asked to move dry marbles, all the people performed equally well no matter they had the wrinkled fingers or not. Researchers said our ancestors might not have played with marbles but wrinkled fingers could have made it easier for them to climb around in the wet forests and catch fish from rivers. Similarly, our toes also get wrinkled in water. This may have developed from our ancestors need to run on wet ground.
But the question is if wrinkled fingers are so helpful, why don’t our hands just stay that way all the time? Researchers explained that wrinkling had its
disadvantage: wet fingertips are far less sensitive than smooth ones, reducing our sense of touch.
4. What does the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refer to? A. Whether fingers have wrinkles after they are put in water. B. Whether wrinkled fingers can hold things more tightly. C. Why keeping things in water makes them wrinkled. D. Why wrinkles help hands hold things more tightly. 5. The test shows that _________.
A. wrinkled hands hold dry things more tightly than dry hands do B. dry hands hold dry things more tightly than wrinkled hands do C. wrinkled hands hold wet things more tightly than dry hands do D. dry hands hold wet things more tightly than wrinkled hands do 6. What might be the disadvantage of wrinkled fingers? A. They are too sensitive to be touched.
