Steel is a hard metal that people use to make many different products. Car bodies, bridges, building frames, and containers are just a few of the things made from steel. 1. But steel is better than iron in many ways. Steel is stronger but lighter than iron. Steel also lasts longer than iron.
2. Then they add carbon to the liquid iron. They may also add other materials to make different types of steel. For example, steel with added chromium(铬)is called stainless steel. It will not rust(生锈)or stain. Finally, workers use machines to cool the liquid steel into bars or long sheets. 3.
People made the first steel as early as 1400 BC. Ancient people heated iron inside a pile of burning charcoal(木炭). 4.. The result was not the same as modern steel, but it was stronger than regular iron.
In the 1800s people began to use huge ovens to make large amounts of steel. In the late 1800s builders used steel to make some of the first skyscrapers. 5.. In the 1900s new processes made steel-making easier. Today steel remains one of the most popular building materials in the world.
A. This added carbon to the iron.
B. Steel is quite different from iron.
C. The hardened steel may then be made into products.
D. Steel is basically iron mixed with a little carbon.
E. Then they will be cooled and put on the market.
F. To make steel, workers hear iron until it melts.
G. They also used steel to make large, modern bridges.
When you see someone you know, the easiest way to recognize them is by their face—but not everyone can do this. Many people have prosopagnosia, or face blindness, which is a neurological(神经病学的)condition where the part o the brain that recognizes faces fails to develop. It can stop people recognizing partners, family members, friends or even their own reflection. It was once though to be caused by brain injury (acquired prosopagnosia) but now a genetic link has been proved (development prosopagnosia).
Acquired prosopagnosia is a very rare but as many as one in 50 people may have developmental prosopagnosia. There’s no specific treatment, but training programmes are being developed to help improve facial recognition.
For many, the situation can be dangerous. I’ve heard stories of people being robbed by strangers claiming to be family members, or of children wandering off strange men.
It was only is this century that researchers began to realize exactly how many people in this world were quietly living with the condition.
Like a blind person who can recognize family members by their footsteps, prosopagnosics are forced to develop unusual ways of discovering who it is they’re meeting or talking to. From the obvious markers like hair and voice, to the way one sits, stands or walks, they rely on dozens of means to get through ordinary life.
Faces are an important part of identity. Not to be recognized feels terrible—it’s as if you’ve been overlooked, like someone’s saying you don’t matter. But it’s nothing to the pain of knowing that you’re hurting people’s feelings constantly, and yet being completely unaware that you’re doing it in the moment. To be alienated(隔离的)from the world of faces is a strange position to be in, but I’m comforted by the thought that articles like this will do a little to help people forgive me and others like me.
