A
In the last 50 years, sea surface
temperatures around Antarctica have risen by
1-2°
C, which is more
than
twice the global average.
Loss of
species
Global warming could basically
change the ecosystem, leading to the loss of some
species. Sharks are
going to arrive in
Antarctica as long as the warming trend continues,
a bit more slowly than crabs-crabs are
going to get there first, but once they
do get there they are able to eat the organisms
that live there.
Professor Wilga said
the arrival of sharks and shell-crushing bony
fishes would lead to great changes
in
the number and
proportions(
比例
)of species
found there.
Shrimp, ribbon worms and
brittle stars are likely to be the most attackable
to population declines.
Animals living
in shallow water in Antarctica are unique on Earth
today because they
evolved(
进化
)in a
very cold environment over tens of
millions of years.
Extreme conditions
In the course of a process we call
Antarctic cooling that started about 40 million
years ago, all major
seafloor predators
such as sharks and crabs went extinct in
Antarctica because they were not able to deal
with these extreme conditions.
However, today global warming is
removing barriers to invasions and we’ve seen
recently that crabs,
especially king
crabs, are on the doorstep of Antarctica-they can
potentially re-invade the shallow waters if
warming continues.
Urgent
local and global actions are needed to protect
this last environment and measures are needed to
stop alien species being brought in
through ships.
Strange creatures
Animals that live on the seafloor of
Antarctica are some of the strangest creatures on
Earth. The
extreme cold and darkness
has presented huge challenges to marine life over
the passage of time, leading to
the
evolution of fish equipped with anti- freeze
proteins in their blood.

They will
change the numbers and proportions of species in

As seniors in college
looking forward to life’s next
goals
-graduation and employment-it is
essential to
have a sense of feeling
important. Every time I look through job listings,
there is a small, and sometimes
not so
small current running through my mind, spitting
out little charges that are meant to stop me from
even applying. The charges come
in the form of words that seem to shout
out like “It is not even worth
trying!”
or “You look as if you were a qualified
man...”
I met with a
professor last week about a specific posting that
really got me excited. Maybe the first
time I could actually imagine myself in
a position. I do not want to tell you which one
because then there
will be one more
person applying for it. However, the professor
said to me, “You and thousands of other
people are interested in that job.” His
response successfully
dampened(
抑制
)my initial
enthusiasm. So I
went back to work on
my cover letter, feeling like one little itty-
bitty(
极小的
)sardine swimming
in a school
of thousands, with far less
motivation than I had initially.
Of
course, the realities are good, and we should
never feel deserving of, or entitled to, a
position. I
would say there are only a
few select students out there. The cream, who has
academic advantages, would
be sure to
stand out. The rest of us, struggling through our
course loads, are the crop. But being the crop
does not make us any less important!
The point is that, like the old Hasidic
story goes in Jewish tradition, we should always
remember to
carry two slips of paper in
our pockets, especially during times of challenge
and transition. When feeling
beat
down
, or lost within a school of
sardines, take out one slip of paper that says
“For my sake, the world
was created”.
But for fear that you become a person filled with
self
-importance, carry a second slip of
paper to serve as a gentle reminder, “I
am but dust and ashes.”

Internet time tied to teen
depression(
抑郁
) symptoms
Spending time online is normal
behaviour for teenagers. But too much Internet use
by teens
—
or too
little, for that matter
—
might be related to
depression, a new study finds.
The
findings, reported in the journal of Pediatrics,
do not mean that the Internet is to blame. For
one,
teens in the study who spent no
time online were also at increased risk of
depression symptoms. Instead,
the
researchers say that both heavy Internet use, and
non-use, could serve as signals that a teenager is
having a hard time.
For the
study, Dr Pierre-Andre Michaud and his colleagues
at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland,
surveyed 7,200 individuals aged 16 to
20 about their Internet use.
Those who
w
ere online more than two hours per day
were considered “heavy” Internet users,while
those online anywhere from several
times per week to two hours per day were
considered “regular” users.
The teenagers also answered a number of
health-related questions, including some standard
questions
about
判定
) how often a person feels
sad or hopeless. Compared with
regular
Internet users, the study found, kids who were
heavy users or non-users were more likely to be
depressed or very depressed.
Among male teens, heavy users and non-
users were both around one-third more likely to
have a high
depression score, compared
to “regular” users. Among girls, heavy Internet
users had an 86 percent greater
chance
of depression, while non-users had a 46 percent
greater likelihood compared to regular users.
That was with factors like family
income and any chronic health problems taken into
account.
Since teenagers typically go
online to contact with friends, the researchers
speculate(
推测
) that those
who are never online may be more
socially isolated.
8
.
How long are
those who are online per day considered “heavy”
Internet users?
A
.
More than two
hours.
B
.
More
than eight hours.
C
.
More than
twelve hours.
D
.
More than ten
hours.
9
.
What’s
the purpose of Dr Michaud and his colleagues’
study?
A
.
To know the
actual number of teenagers online.
B
.
To know the
actual time of teenagers online.
C
.
To know the
influence of study online on teenagers.
D
.
To know the
relationship between the Internet use and
depression.
10
.
What’s the
meaning of the underlined word “isolated” in the
last paragraph?
A
.
Independent
B
.
United
C
.
Separated.
D
.
Capable.
11
.
According to
the accounts of the sixth paragraph, what can we
conclude?
A
.
Non-<
/p>
users of Internet aren’t likely to be
depressed.
B
.
Among girls,
heavy Internet users are more likely to suffer
depression than regular users.
C
.
Heavy users
will lead to death unless limited.
D
.
Non-users have
more possibility to be depressed than heavy users.
D
A study,
conducted by David Evans of the World Bank and
Anna Popova of Stanford University,
looked at 19 programs around the world
in which individuals were given cash transfers
from the
government, either as a
handout or as a “reward” for something like
getting kids to school on tim
e or
taking them to the doctor for
checkups
.
Evans
and Popova looked at the impact those cash
transfers had on the family budget and whether or
not they led to an increase in spending
on alcohol and cigarettes
.
What they found was that
they almost
always led to a reduction
in a family’s alcohol and
tobacco
purchases
.
The
news may surprise some people, but it’s true, and
the researchers have several theories about
why
.
One theory is that the cash transfer
made things possible that once seemed impossible
.
Investing in
their kids’ education or
buying
healthier and more expensive
foods may be within reach now, but without
the cash handout, these goals weren’t
even a possibility
.
So
families cut back on other expenses (like
alcohol and tobacco) to make those
dreams a reality
.
Another theory is that
peopl
e just generally seem to do what
they’re told
.
If they are
given money
and told to use it for
their family’s welfare, in most cases, they will
do just that
.
And that leads
to the third
theory: These cash
transfers are usually given to women, and studies
show that when women control the
purse
strings, more money is spent on taking care of
their children
.
Whatever the reason for the trend, the
data is clear
—families that receive
cash handouts don’t waste
the money on
booze
and
cigarettes
as
was
previously thought
.
Instead,
they
typically
use
that
money
for
the
benefit
of
their
families
.
And that’s money
well spent
.
12
.
The study
proves that
.
A
.
cash transfers
help poor families get what would seem unavailable
otherwise
B
.
cash
should be given to poor people as a reward for
something good for kids
C
.
given cash
handouts, poor people would spend the money on
alcohol and tobacco
D
.
poor people
would save the cash given by the government for
emergency needs
13
.
A cash
transfer led to a reduction in a
f
amily’s alcohol and tobacco purchases
because
.
A
.
the education
gained with the cash would help them drop alcohol
and tobacco
B
.
the
money previously for alcohol and tobacco would
help realize their dream
C
.
buying
healthier and more expensive foods left less money
for alcohol and tobacco
D
.
that was the
promise made before the cash transfer was given to
the poor family
14
.
In paragraph
5, when the author said “women control the purse
strings”, he just meant “
”
.
A
.
women are told
what to do
B
.
women are given
the money
C
.
women
know what to do with the money
D
.
women have the
final word for money
15
.
The passage
mainly tells us
.
A
.
how the study
was carried out
B
.
why cash
transfer is preferred
C
.
the findings of
a study and explanations to them
D
.
the theories
for a study about cash transfers
