The left-coiling shell snails that once were rare and preferences to the shell collector gradually become the preponderance and the majority of the species, especially the sea snail. However, researchers haven't figured the phenomenon yet.

2-1'57
The plants can not only absorb much more nutrient from fungal, but also garner the information of pests and build their own defense to attack of pests. However the researchers fails to verify and confirm this argument totally, another possible alternate explanation has been ruled out.

3-2'16
In the passage, the author points out the cause, a single-cell organism, of the potato-catastrophe in the Ireland and the influence of this event.

4-2'51
Then the researchers found that the original cells preserved till now from that event were much similar to the strain in Mexico, revealing that the original killer to Irish potatoes might come from American land initially.

5-3'10
The gist is that latest research has justified the connection between the cold temperature and the susceptibility for people to catch cold.
At first, the author mentions the common sense which obviously and conspicuously reveals this relationship in everyday life but not in theory.
Then the author points out some failed experiments meant to expose and reveal this connection in history and proceeds to the recent triumph in vindicating this relationship by scientific study. Moreover, the author describes the experiment process in detail.
Finally, some other voices are mentioned that the cold temperature might not be the only factor to the cold.

6-6'58
At the beginning, author presents a recent finding, with the help of cutting-edge technique. that suggests DV's great work, which was commonly thought to be destroyed and decimated by a repainting on the wall of a hall might still exist. Then, some reasons are given. For example, same material found in DV's other painting are also found in the wall, and another type of building material which is generally considered only to be used in early times was also found. More significantly an essentially, air gaps were discovered by a new detection probe only in some parts of the wall, revealing the possible survival of the DV's original painting protected by the indirectly-contacting material on which the repainting-process was put.
Then, according the author, the discovery of DV's original painting was started nearly 30 years ago and only gains the encouraging and uplifting fruit recently due to the use of new technique.
Finally, the author tells us some background information and the old story in the DV's original painting and its replacement in later years.

Main idea: Evidences suggest the theoretical location of Leonardo Da Vinci's lost masterpiece.
Attitude: Neutral
Structure:
>>>Crucial finding in the world of art: Researchers found promising evidences to locate the lost masterpiece of Da Vinci's, which should be【原文：behind Giorgio Vasari's mural "The Battle of Marciano." 】
>>>Introduction of the discovery process: The process has begun and are heading in a very good direction. Using advanced technologies, researchers and scientists found promising data and evidences, suggesting that they're looking at the right place.
       >>>Two things that determined the reliability of this "treasure hunt":
                1) The red material which historically proved only to be used on Da Vinci's pieces and time.
                2) Air gap.
       >>>Scholar S: He is an enthusiastic academy person who specializes in Da Vinci's work of art. After careful study of the great artist's pieces, S found a hint hidden in the painting that says "seek and you will find", which strongly encouraged S to keep pursuing the lost masterpiece. Then he used his expertise and was able to locate 14 possible places. After careful planning and discreet preservation of the other Da Vinci pieces, the work began and the results were very compelling.
>>>Review the historical record of the lost masterpiece: The famous lost masterpiece of the great artist has its story in the history. Da Vinci was under the commission of【Gonfaloniere Piero Soderini】to paint about the Florence political success and honor its great mighty. Da Vinci took this opportunity to test out one of his theories but the result came out different from his previous thoughts. But still, it's no doubt a masterpiece 【原文：called "the school of the world"】
    Then, someone who draw "The Battle of Marciano" later was actually Da Vinci's admirer, and he painted something else to hide the true piece, probably to protect it.【遗漏原文部分：He enlarged and completely remodeled the Hall and painted six new murals over the east and west walls, possibly hiding the Leonardo masterpiece.】
