On the first night f the new mn, I stand beneath an inky expanse f sky at a Nrthern Califrnia campsite. The darkness is s prfund that my utstretched hand vanishes befre my eyes. It’s nt just an absence f light I’m experiencing: the darkness feels tangible, with a weight and texture f its wn.
The mst well-knwn benefit f the darkness is the rle it plays in releasing melatnin (褪黑素). This critical hrmne desn’t just help us sleep, but can als reduce DNA damage by bsting the bdy’s wn genetic repair machinery. Evidence als reveals that the magic we feel in the darkness is clsely assciated with better mental health.
My wn fascinatin with the dark began in Octber f 2022, when I fund myself flating in a raft (木筏) in the Arctic Sea. Our expeditin guide had mtred ur rubber raft away frm the artificial lights f ur larger ship, turned the uter engine ff, and instructed us t be silent. My shipmates and I lked up int the enrmus night sky as stars mved in the black space abve. The darkness was s dense that I culdn’t tell up frm dwn, r where the night sky ended, and the inky sea began.
I felt a surge f psitive feelings flwing thrugh me as I gazed at the stars n that dark Arctic night.
The experience changed my relatinship t darkness. As smene wh’d always enjyed the idea f ging t bed early t get a gd night’s sleep, I decided t turn ff artificial lights and electrnic devices earlier in the evening. I als began wndering what “dse” f dark each night was ideal fr my health.
Artists, pets and sngwriters have lng understd ur fear f the dark as well as the cmfrt it can bring us. Fr me, it’s the Simn & Garfunkel hit sng, The Sund f Silence — which starts ff with the line “Hell darkness, my ld friend” — that captures the essence f why escaping the light is necessary at times. It reminds us that sme f ur mst prfund mments f healing and insight happen in the dark.
4. Which f the fllwing statements abut darkness is NOT TRUE?
A. It can better ur sleep quality.B. It can imprve ur mental health.
C. It can prtect us frm DNA damage.D. It can change ur damaged genes.
5. What des the Arctic experience shw abut the authr?

What can a seal teach us abut the deep cean? Plenty-as lng as it’s wearing satellite-linked devices n its head. Clive McMahn, wh wrks n an elephant seal tagging prject at the University f Tasmania in Australia, said that deep-diving seals can prvide scientists with a wealth f infrmatin n the structure f the cean flr.
T gather this infrmatin, McMahn and his team attached small satellite-linked devices t seals. The devices tk measurements f temperature and depth as the seals swam. Since 2004, McMahn’s team has tracked mre than 500, 000 individual seal dives beneath the East Antarctic cntinental shelf, which is the edge f a cntinent that lies under the cean.
“Given the remte nature f Antarctica and the surrunding Suthern Ocean, nly a small part f the Antarctic cntinental shelf was surveyed by ships in the past,” McMahn said. “S the infrmatin available abut this area is sparse.” But seals are helping scientists fill in the pieces t this puzzle. In July 2023, McMahn and his team published a study abut their wrk with deep-diving seals in a scientific jurnal.
Infrmatin frm seal dives is helping scientists understand hw the cean affects Antarctica’s rle in glbal climate. “We fund in sme regins that mre than 25 percent f previus estimates f the cean depths were wrng.” said Mark Hindell, wh als wrked n the study. “We nly knw this nw because the seals were diving hundreds f meters belw thse depths. In the mst extreme cases, they dived mre than 1, 000 meters (3,281feet) deeper than what we thught was the ‘cean flr’”.
The data, r infrmatin, frm the dives als revealed new underwater features, including trughs, which are lng, wide and deep sunken areas in the cean flr. Thanks t the seals, the scientists als fund a deep canyn near the Vanderfrd Glacier, which is as lw-mving river f ice hundreds r thusands f meters deep.
8. What is the main purpse f the article?
A. Analyzing East Antarctic shelf’s gegraphy.
B. Discussing cean impacts n climate change.
C. Describing satellite devices in cean research.
D. Intrducing seals’ rle in cllecting cean data.
9. Which is clsest in meaning t “sparse” in paragraph 3?
A. Limited.B. Plentiful.C. Cmplex.D. Unrelated.
10. Why is the seal-gathered data cnsidered imprtant?
A. Seals dive deeper than ther marine animals.
B. Seals are able t replace extensive ship surveys.
C. Seals are equipped with advanced technlgy in devices.
D. Seals access remte cean areas beynd human’s knwledge.
11. What might the article cntinue talking abut?
A. The impact f seal dives n cean ecsystem research.
B. The challenges faced by scientists in tracking seal dives.
C. The significance f the newly discvered underwater features.
D. The applicatins f satellite-linked devices in ther animal studies.

Getting int arguments with strangers nline r family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are prbably all guilty (有过失的) f feeling like we are right, even if we dn’t have all the facts. This phenmenn is called the “illusin f infrmatin adequacy (IOIA)”.
“Interpersnal cnflict is n the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety, and general stress,” says Angus Fletcher, a researcher at the Ohi State University. “We wanted t lk int thse misunderstandings and see hw they culd be reduced.”
In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans nline. All the participants read an article abut an imaginary schl with water shrtage. Grup ne read an article that nly gave reasns fr merging (合并) with anther schl that has better water. Grup tw read an article that nly gave reasns fr the schls staying separate and hping fr ther slutins t the prblem. Grup three was the cntrl grup that read bth sets f the arguments.
They fund the majrity f the first tw grups believed they had enugh infrmatin t decide what t d. They said they wuld fllw the recmmendatins in the article they read and thught thers wuld make the same decisin. Abut 55 percent f the cntrl grup recmmended the schls merge.
The team calls this belief IOIA. Fletcher describes it as, “The less ur brain knws, the mre cnfident it is that it knws all it needs t knw. This makes us leap t cnfident cnclusins and decisive judgments, when we miss necessary infrmatin.”
The team als fund sme were willing t change their minds — nce they had all the facts. Timing als plays a rle. The peple in the study changed their pinins that were recently frmed, nt lng-held beliefs.
Accrding t Fletcher, ne f the best ways t reduce IOIA when disagreeing with smene is t stp and ask, “Is there smething I'm missing that wuld help me understand their psitin better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersnal cnflict.
12. What was the main gal f Fletcher’s research?
A. T find ways t imprve debate skills.
B. T identify types f infrmatin surces.
C. T explain why it is necessary t stick t facts.
D. T explre hw t minimize misunderstandings.
13. Why did participants in Grup ne and tw tend t have IOIA?
A. They held deep-rted beliefs.
B. They received a lt f false infrmatin.
C. They were expsed t ne-sided arguments.
D. They were wrried abut the schl’s situatin.
14. What des Fletcher suggest t fight IOIA?
A. Establishing interpersnal bnds.
B. Seeking t bridge the infrmatin gap.
C. Encuraging thers t see the big picture.
D. Stressing the weaknesses in thers’ psitins.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. Why D Peple Insist They Are Crrect?
B. Des Interpersnal Cnflict Lead t Stress?
C. Can Cnversatins Affect What We Believe?
D. What Cntributes t Sensible Decisin-making?

I lved writing. It was a hbby. But my high schl English teacher, Rachel Green was determined t make me an authr. Her cmments were mre than just abut fixing grammatical errrs. She wrte questins t make my essays mre detailed; she underlined passages that she agreed with. Her letters always started with hw prud she was that I was brave enugh t write the truth, hw she saw ptential in me. I enjyed her wrds — read them ver and ver.
I needed this care, this recgnitin. I was the last Watsn child t attend Jeffersn High Schl. My sister Cheryl was knwn fr being ne f the star writers f the schl newspaper. Dyan, anther sister, was gd at playing the pian. My sisters were invlved in all types f after-schl activities: cheer-leading, vlleyball, track and student gvernment.

One day, Ms Green invited me t read my new stry in frnt f my class in the writing lessn next week. My heart skipped a beat and disbelief washed ver me. I murmured my anxiety abut being laughed at.
