When her grandmther first invited her t sing in church, she knew hw uncmfrtable it wuld be t stand in frnt f peple, but she didn't want t disappint her.

It culd be said that trees naturally call fr attentin as they climb tward the sky with their arms utstretched. Yet, it's still easy fr us t ignre them. As we rush thrugh ur wn day-t-day lives, trees seem t play the rle f an insignificant backdrp.
Nthing culd be further frm the truth. Rted t a single spt, trees appear sill.But that stillness is nt assciated with laziness. In fact, trees are guards f the planet as the impact f their hard wrk carries miles farther than the grund in which they stand.

S it's time t put trees in the sptlight. The Arbr Day Fundatin, the wrld's largest nnprfit, is devted t this exact missin: inspiring peple t plant,prtect, and hnr trees. We knw there's never been a mre imprtant time fr trees. And we knw there's never been a mre imprtant time fr mankind t engage in its rle as envirnmental guards. This isn't a ne-sided relatinship.What we give t nature we will receive in return, tenfld(十倍地). S as springtime arrives nce again, take a mment and appreciate what a tree can be.

A pill has been used t electrically stimulate stmach cells in pigs in rder t increase levels f ghrelin (胃饥饿素)，a hrmne which regulates hunger and eases nausea (恶心) . If the technlgy translates t humans, it culd treat nausea and lack f appetite in peple with eating disrders, r thse receiving treatments fr cancer.
Current interventins, which use electrical stimulatin t ease symptms (症状) f nausea, require invasive (侵入的)surgeries. S, Givanni Travers at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy and his clleagues designed a nn-invasive capsule.
Inside the capsule, a battery generates electrical currents that travel alng a gld wire wund arund the utside. The gaps carved nt the surface f the capsule absrb fluid s that the wire can electrically stimulate stmach tissue that sets ff the release f ghrelin. The device is cated in a thin cvering that breaks dwn nce it reaches the stmach.
Travers and his team tested the capsule in 13 pigs. Eleven f the animals received 20 minutes f stimulatin while the ther tw received n stimulatin. The researchers measured bld levels f ghrelin befre and 10 minutes after stimulatin. They fund that, n average, ghrelin increased by abut 40 per cent in pigs that underwent stimulatin.
"The levels we see are cmparable t levels that we wuld expect t cause hunger r prevent nausea, but we didn't evaluate thse symptms in animals," says Travers. "Part f the next steps invlves ding this in humans t understand whether nausea, fr example, can be treated using this system."
"T my knwledge, this is the first absrbable device that can deliver electrical stimulatin t the human bdy," says Stavrs Zans at the Feinstein Institutes fr Medical Research in New Yrk. "The technlgy culd be adjusted t deliver electrical stimulatin t ther rgan tissues," he added.
