If you listen to music much,you know that most pop songs are about three or four minutes long.Mr.Dylan's new song is nearly 17 minutes long.
What is just as surprising as the length of the song is its subject.It is about the death of the US President John F.Kennedy in 1963.There's not much to the song musically.It's more like a long poem set to simple music.
You might think that a 17﹣minute song about the death of a president might not be all that popular.Through the years,Mr.Dylan has shown that he doesn't really care about what's popular.But,as it turned out,the song was downloaded over 10,000 times.It became NO.1 on Billboard's Rock Digital Song Sales Chart.The unusual new song has given the singer his first No.I hit (热门歌曲)

14.Can cuttlefish(墨鱼) watch and react to03﹣D movies?To study this,some scientists did an experiment on them.I's wasn't easy.Finally(深度知堂) just like humans.
"It's took a lot of time to make them wear their glasses," Trevor Wardill.One of the scientists,said. "They wanted to play with them." The glasses are similar to those we wear when watching 3﹣D movies.Once the cuttlefish got hungry.the scientists would show them a 3﹣D video featuring two shrimps(虾)
In some cases they would get so close to the video shrimps that they were hitting the screen.This proved that cuttlefish do have depth perception.
"I was very excited.We were jumping up and down," Wardill said.He also said that the cuttlefish would immediately get real shrimps as a reward.The study proved that the cuttlefish can see in 3﹣D,but not in exactly the same way as humans.Also,cuttlefish aren't really fish.They are actually marine mollusks(海洋软体动物) and probably the world's most intelligent invertebrates(无脊椎动物).
"While cuttlefish have similar eyes to humans,their brains are quite different," Paloma Gomzalez﹣Bellido,said. "we know that cuttlefish's brain isn't like that of humans.They do not seem to have a single part of the brain focusing on processing vision(视力).Our research shows there must be an area in their brain that compares the images from their left and night eyes and examines the differences."

15.An Olympic Village is a place that houses Olympic competitors.It is a place where they prepare for what might be the most important moment in their life.But we want to know more about this mysterious(神秘的) place:What really happens in the village?
We asked swimmer Natalie Coughlin,a three﹣time Olympian and 12﹣time medalist.She said, "People think it's a lot more attractive and interesting than it is.It isn't.It's like a huge college campus,a post office and a huge cafeteria﹣ except that everyone is anxious,getting ready for their biggest event under unbelievably high pressure."
But some other Olympians look differently at their campus. "It's like the first day of college,water polo player Tony Azevedo said. "You're super excited.Everyone is meeting people and trying to socialize with others."
Coughlin said, "The best spot to be in the village is the cafeteria.Not only does it provide a place to talk with the rest of the players from your country,but it's a great chance for people﹣watching.One of her favorite games was to guess what sport someone in front of her took based on their body type.
Living in the same village means the players will run into one another all the time.Coughlin shared this story:While in London in 2012,suddenly applause(喝彩) broke out at the arrival of someone.Coughlin thought it was one of the British royals(王室成员),who was the world's greatest runner at that time.
It's a pretty wild scene and the biggest melting pot — a place where large numbers of people,ideas and cultures ore mixed together﹣﹣you've been in, "said swimmer Erie Shanteau.Felix agree saying. "You get to meet people from other countries that you wouldn't even come into contact(遇见)
