15.While learning the science lessons,I used to get a doubt--why ear,nose,tongue and eyes should be called as special senses?The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings.Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs,they do show some connectivity.Interestingly,our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food.Isn't it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal?That does not mean we go deaf after a meal,but the hearing pitch(强度)does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue,but do you know that unless saliva(唾液)dissolves something,our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten.Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds(味蕾)present on the tongue.Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.
Women are much better smellers than men.They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly recognize the exact fragrance of the sample.We all can store almost 50,000 different smells,which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils(瞳孔)do not respond to light alone,but to the slightest bit of noise around too.Thus surgeons,watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment.Even a small noise can enlarge their pupils,change the focus and make their vision less clear.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell,which is unique to us,except the twins.This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn.It may be due to this smell that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around.

14.Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural(就职)Ball dress four years ago---and the risk paid off.
The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a red dress by designer Jason Wu.She teamed the dramatic dress with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.
She surprised the fashion world by returning to a Wu design which had been made for her.
    Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball,Michelle shone in a white,one-shouldered floor-length dress by the designer.
Wu,who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years,saw his career take off after the First Lady's surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.
He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the dress and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.
After her 2013 decision,Wu told Women's Wear Daily:"Mrs.Obama likes to keep her secrets.She fooled me again."
Wu released a women's clothing and accessories(配饰)collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official appointments.
The sleeveless dress with low-cut back flattered (突出)49-year-old Michelle's arms and neat waist.
It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain color tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.
