Sleep-deprived (缺乏睡眠的) human parents knw the value f a quick nap, but it turns ut Chinstrap penguins have us all beat. When nesting, these Antarctic birds take fur-secnd-lng “micrsleeps,” a strategy that allws parents t keep cnstant watch ver vulnerable eggs and chicks, all while amunting t 11 hurs f ttal sleep a day, accrding t a new study.

It’s hard t sleep in a cmmunity f nesting Chinstrap penguins. The Antarctic summer sun prvides 24/7 daylight. And then there’s the eye-watering smell f ammnia mixed with rtting fish and penguin wastes. “It made me dizzy,” says c-study leader Wn Yung Lee, a researcher at the Krea Plar Research Institute.
Like ther penguins, Chinstrap parents take turns guarding the nest. While ne bird prtects
the chicks, the partner hunts at sea. Then the penguins trade places. Fr tw mnths between egg laying and fledging, it’s a series f nnstp demands.
T study hw penguins manage t accmplish all this and get the necessary sleep, Lee and his
team first stuck bilggers, small battery-pwered devices, t the backs f 14 nesting penguins f bth sexes. This device functins like a smartwatch, measuring physical activity, pulse, and the
cean depths f hunting birds. Next, the team captured each f the penguins, anesthetizing (麻醉)
them t attach the devices and temprarily implant electrdes int their skull t measure brain activity. When an animal is awake, the brain cnstantly buzzes with activity. During sleep, hwever, brain waves slw dwn and stretch ut. When Lee started reviewing the data, he was surprised t
discver the birds slept in fur-secnd intervals (间隔) thrughut the day and night while caring
fr their egg r chick.
While the data is cnvincing, Cirelli, a neurscientist at the University f Wiscnsin wh wasn’t invlved in the study, ntes that the researchers nly studied the penguins during nesting
perids, making it impssible t tell if the birds micrsleep when they’re nt parenting. The ther
challenge is understanding hw micrsleep impacts the brains and bdies f the penguins. Sleep deprivatin in humans causes a range f health prblems, and it’s nt clear whether penguins experience this, t.

They recrded the penguins’ waking and sleep duratin.
They captured the penguins and placed devices int their nests.

If yu use the internet, yu’ve prbably heard f a filter bubble (过滤气泡). Internet sites and scial media platfrms use algrithms (算法) that shw yu cntent based n yur previus interactins, likes, and shares. Over time, this creates a filter bubble where yu nly see cntent that
agrees with yur interests and beliefs, which serves t cnvince yu that yur beliefs are true. But what yu might nt knw is that in similar fashin, yur brain has several mechanisms t filter infrmatin, creating persnal filter bubbles that deeply shape hw yu live yur life.
Self-created filter bubbles happen thrugh varius cgnitive prcesses, and they have multiple
cnsequences. They shape yur experience f what’s happening by frming a lens (镜片) thrugh
which yu see and interpret the wrld. On the internet, because things are being presented based n
past user histry, n tw peple get the same results when they search fr smething n Ggle r pen their news feed. In real life, n tw peple are experiencing an event r seeing a situatin in
the exact same way, because we all bring ur wn past experiences and biases (偏见) t situatins,
causing us t prcess them differently.
Filter bubbles can cause yu t stay stuck in self-created and ften self-limiting patterns f thught and behavir. If yu’ve ever wndered why change is s hard, it’s because yur mental filter bubbles make it difficult t see different pssibilities. If yu hld the belief that yu’re nt smene wh can have a high-paying jb, yu wn’t lk fr ne and yu’ll nly seek ut and see jbs that match up with what yu think yu’re wrth.
Filter bubbles can als prevent critical thinking and can lead t a limited and biased view f
the wrld, where peple dn’t cnsider alternative viewpints and dn’t engage with thers utside f their wn circles. When we nly cnsume infrmatin that cnfirms ur preexisting beliefs and values, we dn't questin the truth f that infrmatin r prperly evaluate the evidence.
While yu can’t prevent yur brain frm creating selective filter bubbles, yu can becme
mre aware s that yu dn’t have t be limited r trapped by them.
What can we learn abut filter bubbles?
They have little effect n us.
They shape ur interpretatins f the wrld.
They are frequent ccurrences and have little effect n us.
They assist us in making friends with like-minded individuals.
Hw d filter bubbles impact individuals' ability t embrace change?
They facilitate pen-mindedness and flexibility.
They help individuals adapt quickly t new situatins.
They prevent individuals frm successfully securing a jb.
They make individuals resistant t seeking ut new pprtunities.

What might the authr cntinue talking abut?
Barriers t vercming filter bubbles.

I grew up in an age f delayed gratificatin (满足) , when I had t wait fr almst everything.

And then there was mney. The banks did business n weekdays nly. They pened at 9 and
clsed at 4. 37 Well, check under the sfa cushins r brrw frm family r friends.
Such was the wrld as recently as the 1970s. Everything seemed t perate n a strict clck,

And then, seemingly vernight, everything changed. ATMs, mvies n DVD and, f curse, the persnal cmputer, meant that we culd have almst anything we wanted, when we wanted it.
Hwever, I am nt charmed by what we have gained. 39 Having t wait fr almst
everything meant living a life in slwer mtin. When ne is subject t unchanging, institutinal

In this way the virtue f patience is practiced.
Instead, I am gently fascinated by what was lst.

My glance stpped n a shy-lking girl in the back f the rm. She wre wrn-ut, mismatched clthes. Her hair was unusually shrt and unwashed. I caught myself thinking, “That's
disgusting (恶心的). Desn't she knw what a bathtub is?” As I lked arund, I figured thers

The teacher began checking the attendance, each persn casually lifting his r her hand as names were called in turn.
“Terri Jacksn?” the teacher asked.
Finally we heard a submissive answer frm the back f the rm, fllwed by the sund f rubbing clth. We all shifted in ur seats t see what had happened.
“Scary Terri rubbed her shirt!” ne by jked. “Eww, I bet it's a hundred years ld!” anther
girl cmmented. One cmment after anther brught a rar f laughter.
I was prbably laughing the ludest. Sadly, making Terri feel insecure made me feel secure and cnfident. It was a gd break frm the awkward silence and uncmfrtable first day.
Terri Jacksn was the jke f the whle sixth grade that year. If we had nthing t talk abut,
