These items could include weapons, chemicals, laptops and batteries for bombs, the research team said on Tuesday. Research suggested that WiFi can now be used to estimate the volume of liquids such as water, acid, alcohol and other chemicals for explosive material. The study led by researchers at the Wireless Information Network Laboratory (WINLAB) in the School. of Engineering showed a wireless device with two to three antennas(天線)that could be fitted in existing WiFi networks. The detection system analyzes what happens when wireless signals go through and bounce off objects or materials. The approach, which the paper states, works by separating the wireless interference(干擾)caused by two factors of objectsthe material and shape. Most dangerous objects such as weapons are usually metal or liquid, which have significant interference, researchers said. When it was tested on a backpack, the accuracy rate topped 95 percent. But the accuracy dropped to about 90 percent when objects inside bags are wrapped. And the tech could save lives if used in museums, stadiums, theme parks or schools, the team said, noting its design can inspect bags or luggage without being an exposure to privacy. It uses channel state information (CSI) that is readily available in lowcost WiFi devices. This could have a great impact on protecting the public from dangerous objects, said Yingying Chen, a coauthor of the study, There39。s a growing need for that now. In large public areas, it39。s hard to set up expensive screening equipment like what39。s in airports. Manpower is always needed to check bags and we want to develop a method to try to reduce manpower.” The peerreviewed study, which recently won a best paper award at the 2018 IEEE Conference on Communications and Network Security, is now published online. Future work will continue to focus on ameliorating the accuracy of identifying objects and imaging shapes and volumes, researchers said.（1）What does paragraph 3 talk about?

Studies show that older people tend to remember the positive things in life rather than the negative things, while younger people remember the positive and negative equally well. The dominant psychological theory to explain this is that older people are aware of their limited time left, so they prioritize positive emotional experiences. But about a decade ago, I worked with biologist Robert Trivers on his idea that there was an evolutionary basis for older people39。s increased positive outlook. Our research took us in the fascinating direction of exploring how the body uses its energy. When our ancestors needed more energy than usual, perhaps while being chased by a tiger, they had to get that energy from somewhere in the body. Could they borrow it from the brain? That organ uses 20 percent of our metabolic (新陳代謝) output, whether we are solving math problems or watching television reruns. Due to this constant energy requirement, borrowing energy from the brain when our need surpasses the available supply is not an option. Perhaps we could borrow energy from our muscles. Because we use far more muscle energy when we are active than w
