It was August 2018, and Wedelstedt, 56, was n her way back dwn the trail with three friends. A strm was brewing, and they were anxius t get ff the muntain.

Finally, ne hiker, Matt, asked her, “Hw d yu feel abut a fireman’s carry?” Befre she knew it, he had lifted her ver his shulder. “Nw, I’m nt tiny,” says Wedelstedt, a frmer cllege basketball star.

Many peple have lng believed that bright lights draw, r attract flying insects. But that is nt exactly what is ging n, a new study suggests.
Researchers believe that artificial lights at night may cause prblems with flying insects’ natural navigatin systems. As a result, the creatures fly in cnfusin arund prch lamps, street lights and ther artificial lights. “Insects have a navigatinal prblem,” said Tysn Hedrick f the University f Nrth Carlina, Chapel Hill. He added, “They’re accustmed t using light as a cue (提示) t knw which way is up.”
Insects d nt fly directly tward a light surce, but actually “tilt their backs tward the light,” said Sam Fabian f Imperial Cllege Lndn. Fabian was a c-writer f the study that appeared recently in Nature Cmmunicatins. This tilting actin wuld make sense if the strngest light surce was in the sky. But in the presence f artificial lights, the result is midair cnfusin.
Fr the study, researchers attached very small sensrs t mths and dragnflies in a labratry. They then filmed “mtin-capture” vide f flight—similar t hw filmmakers attach sensrs t actrs t fllw their mvements. Researchers als used high-reslutin cameras t film insects flying arund lights at a field in Csta Rica. Such films permitted researchers t study in detail hw dragnflies circle endlessly arund light surces, psitining themselves with their backs facing the light. Researchers als dcumented that sme insects fly upside dwn—and ften crash land—in the presence f lights that shine straight upward like search lights. Insect flight was least disrupted by bright lights that shine straight dwnward, the researchers fund.
“Fr millins f years, insects riented themselves by sensing that the sky is light, the grund is dark—until peple invented artificial lights”, said Avaln Owens f Harvard University.
8. What can we learn frm the study?
A. Insects have a navigatinal prblem.
B. Artificial lights will make insects cnfused.
C. Nt all insects d fly directly tward a light surce.
D. Small sensrs are used t film an insect dcumentary.
9. Which f the fllwing may Avaln Owens agree with?
A. Insects are unlikely t fly upside dwn.
B. Insects can psitin themselves facing the light.
C. Insects failed t rient themselves because f artificial lights.
D. Insect flight was interrupted by dwnward-shining bright lights.
10. What attitude des the authr take twards the study?
A. Ambiguus.B. Objective.C. Optimistic.D. Indifferent.
11. Where can we mst prbably read this passage?
A. In an advertisement.B. In a science textbk.
C. In a nature magazine.D. In a news reprt.

A man may usually be knwn by the bks he reads as well as by the cmpany he keeps; fr there is a cmpaninship f bks as well as f men; and ne shuld always live in the best cmpany, whether it is f bks r f men.
A gd bk may be amng the best f friends. It is the mst patient and cheerful cmpanins. It des nt turn its back upn us in times f adversity r distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in yuth, and cmfrting and cnsling us in age.
There is an ld prverb, “Lve me, lve my dg.” But there is mre wisdm in this: “Lve me, lve my bk.” The bk is a truer and higher bnd f unin. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each ther thrugh their favrite authr. They live in him tgether, and he in them. The best bks are treasuries f gd wrds, the glden thughts, which, remembered and cherished, becme ur cnstant cmpanins and cmfrters.
Bks pssess an essence f immrtality. They are by far the mst lasting prducts f human effrt. Temples and statues decay, but bks survive. Time is f n accunt with great thughts, which are as fresh tday as when they first passed thrugh their authr’s minds, ages ag. What was then said and thught still speaks t us as vividly as ever frm the printed page. The nly effect f time has been t sift ut the bad prducts, fr nthing in literature can lng survive but what is really gd.
Bks intrduce us int the best sciety; they bring us int the presence f the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjy with them and grieve with them. The great and gd d nt die, even in this wrld. Embalmed in bks, peple’s spirits walk abrad. The bk is a living vice. It is an intellect t which ne still listens.
12. Accrding t the authr, what is the difference between ur bks and ur friends?
A. Bks remain patient and cheerful fr a lnger time.
B. Bks prvide cmfrt in ld age, unlike ur friends.
C. Friends can smetimes disappint us, similar t ur bks.
D. Bks reflect a persn’s character mre than their friends d.
13. Why are temples and statues mentined in Para 4?
A. T prve the value f time.B. T highlight the lngevity f bks.
C. T shw peple’s preference fr literature.D. T emphasize the imprtance f ancient architecture.
14. What des the authr advise readers t d?
A. Becme a wise man by reading.
B. Read as many classic bks as we can.
C. Cherish the cmpany f ur bks just like ur friends.
D. Sympathize with yur friends thrugh yur favrite authr.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. Cmpaninship f BksB. Lng Live Bks
C. Our Best friendsD. Lve Me, Lve My Bk
