Science Isn’t Always Serious

Each December, a committee (委员会) in Sweden announce who will receive this year’s Nobel prizes. The people     1    (honor) each year have made an amazing contribution to science and culture. They are given awards for solving the mysteries of the universe and for discovering ways to treat serious illnesses.

But not all research is serious. In fact, some of it is quite silly. And it’s this silly research     2    the Ig Nobel Prize celebrates. Awarded since 1991, the Ig Nobel Prize reminds us that science     3    be fun too.

Here are some examples that let us see     4    the Ig Nobel committee stands for. In 2007, its linguistics (语言学的) award was given to three researchers     5    (prove) that rats couldn’t tell the differences between Dutch spoken backward and Japanese spoken backward. And two years ago, a biologist who wrote a book based on his experience collecting dead and almost dead flies     6    (award) for his work.

As with the proper Nobel prizes, every year there is a ceremony    7     the winners receive their awards. The ceremony for the Ig Nobel Prize is as silly as its recognized research. It officially begins when the audience is told to throw paper airplanes at the stage. The serious business begins when the winners are given the chance     8    (summarize) their research – in 60 seconds.

This part of the ceremony     9    (become) more mature over the years. Once, the “60-second law” was carried out by a child named “Miss Sweetie Poo”, who would yell, “Please stop; I’m bored” at any person who took longer than a minute to present their speech.

As for this year, what inspiring breakthroughs were announced at the event on Sept 13? Well, the winner of one of the prizes wrote a paper on how to create a cleaning product     10    means of human saliva (唾液).

So, as we can see, the awards aren’t given for the most scientifically important things in the world. But then again, what’s more important than having fun?
