Once Samaras sees a tornado, the chase begins But a tornado is hard to follow Some tornadoes change (26) _ several times – for example, moving east and then west and then east again When Samaras finally gets near a tornado, her puts the turtle probe on the ground Being this close to a twister is (27) He must get away quickly

The human criterionfor perfect vision is 20/20 for reading the standard lines on a Snellen

eye chart without a hitch The score is determined by how well you read lines of letters of

different sizes from 20 feet away But being able to read the bottom line on the eye chart does not approximate perfection as far as other species are concerned Most birds would consider us very visually handicapped The hawk, for instance, has such sharp eyes that can spot a dime on the sidewalk while perched on top of the Empire State Building It can make fine visual

distinctions because it is blessed with one million cones per square millimetre in its retina And

in water, humans are farsighted, while the kingfisher, swooping down to spear fish, can see well both in the air and water because it is endowed with two foveae – areas of the eyes, consisting

mostly of cones that provide visual distinctions One foveae permits the bird, while in the air, to

scan the water below with one eye at a time This is called monocular vision Once it hits the water, the other foveae joins in, allowing the kingfisher to focus both eyes, like binoculars, on its prey at the same time A frog’s vision is distinguished by its ability to perceive things as a constant moving picture Known as “bug detectors”, a highly developed set of cells in a frog’s eyes responds mainly to moving objects So, it is said that a frog sitting in a field of dead bugs wouldn’t see them as food and would starve

The bee has a “compound” eye, which is used for navigation It has 15,000 facets that divide what it sees into a pattern of dots, or mosaic With this kind of vision, the bee sees the sun only as a single dot, a constant point of reference Thus, the eye is a superb navigational instrument that constantly measures the angle of its line of flight in relation to the sun A bee’s eye also gauges flight speed And if that is not enough to leave our 20/20 “perfect vision” paling into insignificance, the bee is capable of seeing something we can’t – ultraviolet light Thus, what humans consider to be “perfect vision” is in fact rather limited when we look at other species However, there is still much to be said for the human eye Of all mammals, only humans and some primates can enjoy pleasures of colour vision

It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time University students frequently do the minimum of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams But the story is different when you’re older

Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning At 30, I went to a college and did

courses in History and English It was an amazing experience For starters, I was paying, so

there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was

a pleasure not a pain When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers The satisfaction I got was entirely personal

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got

rusty But the joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of

other things since you were young It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department

In some ways, age is a positive plus For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang of it The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts Maturity tells you that you will,
