A
“
Garlic
coffee
”
can be good news to
coffee-loving pregnant women as a man in
northeastern Japan
invented the drink
that looks and tastes like coffee but is made up
entirely of locally grown garlic.
“
My drink is probably the
world
’
s first of its
kind,
”
said 75-year-old
Yokitomo Shimotai,who was a
coffee shop
owner in Aomori
Prefecture
.“
It contains no
caffeine so it
’
s good for
those who would like to
drink coffee at
night or pregnant women
.”
Shimotai,who started the
drink
’
s sale in January
2017,said the drink was accidentally made from a
cooking mistake about 30 years ago,when
he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables
at his shop.
He mashed
(
捣烂
) the burnt garlic with a
spoon and mixed it with hot he drank it,he was
surprised at its
“
coffee-like
taste
”
with bitterness.
Shimotai began researching the drink
after retirement,aimed at turning it into a
product.
After repeating trials and
errors on the best way to make it,he created a
“
coffee
”
he can be satisfied
with about six
years ago by using an electric furnace
(
火炉
) to roast the cooling
it,the garlic is
mashed up.
Shimotai took a patent on the method in
2015,and opened a workshop in neighboring Iwate
Prefecture.
While his drink has a
pleasant smell of roasted garlic,it will not cause
bad breath because it is
carefully and
fully roasted,according to Shimotai.
The drink is now available at two
souvenir shops in Aomori Prefecture,or by ordering
by telephone.
A packet containing one
cup of garlic coffee costs 324 yen ($$2.8).Orders
can be made with his
workshop called
Techno Baisen Kobo at 0195(37)1999 in the city of
Ninohe,Iwate Prefecture.

Everyone knows
chameleons (
变色龙
) can change
color,but why do they do it? Suppose you were
given these three options:(a) to match
with their surroundings,(b) to get a mate,or (c)
to impress
people would choose (a).But
the real answer is (b).
It
’
s not a hard-
and-fast rule:there is evidence that the colorful
changes of some chameleons can be a
instance,the small-sized chameleon Bradypodion
taeniabronchum seems to match its
surroundings more closely when facing
an enemy with better color most
chameleons,however,changing color is
all about getting a mate.
In their
natural environment,most chameleons match with
their surroundings pretty well,says
ecologist Kristopher Karsten of
California Lutheran University in Thousand when
they change
color,they tend to make
themselves easier to ing males will often battle
it out with a color-
change fight.
The color-change process
doesn
’
t work the way you
might expect it to either.
Most of us
would think it is achieved by some kind of
pigments (
色素
).But a study
published in
March 2015 suggests that
the color changes have nothing to do with
chemistry at d,it turns out
1
there are some
nanocrystals (
纳米晶体
) within
the chameleon
’
s changing
the positions of these
crystals,the
chameleon can show different shades of color.
It
’
s not just
about how chameleons are also unusually good at
using their eyes.
In a neat study
published in July 2015,zoologists showed
chameleons two objects that moved around
a computer chameleons were able to
split their vision,each eye independently focusing
on a
different ally,the chameleons
seemed to make a choice,both eyes locking onto the
same
way they could do a better job of
judging how far away the objects were
—
and thus how far to
shoot out their tongues.
All
that said,there is a lot that we still
don
’
t know about chameleons.
4
.Why does Bradypodion
taeniabronchum change color?
hunt
food.
cheat its enemies.
make itself disappear.
attract
human
’
s attention.
5
.How do male chameleons
compete with each other for a mate?
changing color.
staring at each other.
fighting with each other.
matching with their surroundings.
6
.How do chameleons change
color?
producing more nanocrystals.
using different kinds of pigments.
changing the positions of their cells.
changing the positions of their
nanocrystals.
7
.What is
special about chameleons
’
eyes?
can tell different colors.
can see objects from a long distance.
can notice objects on a computer
screen.
can focus on two objects at
one time.
