5、oughout the wood rather than focusing on one weak spotThe discovery should lead to more effective and lighter packaging materials. Carpenters have known ( 1 ) centuries that some woods are tougher than othersHickory(山核桃木),for example,was turned into axe handles and cartwheel spokes(轮辐)because it can
6、 absorb shocks without breakingWhite oak,for example,is much more easily damaged,although it is almost as denseJulian Vincent at Bathe University and his team were convinced the woods internal structure could explain the differences Many trees have tubular(管的)vessels that run ( 2 ) the trunk and car
7、ry water to the leavesIn oak they are large,and arranged in narrow bands,but in hickory they are smaller,and more evenly distributedThe researchers thought this layout might distribute a blows energy throughout the woodsoaking up a bigger hitTo test the idea,they drilled holes 0.65 millimeters acros

9、s actually affected All the energy from the blow goes towards breaking the material in one or two places,but often the pieces left ( 5 ) are pristine (未经破坏的) But instead of the energy being concentrated in one place,the holes provide many weak spots that all absorb energy as they break,says Vincent“
10、You are controlling the places where the wood breaks,and it can then absorb more ( 6 ) ,more safely” The researchers believe the principle could be applied to any material- ( 7 ) exampleto manufacture lighter and more protective packagingIt could ( 8 ) be used in Car bumpers,crash barriers and armor
