Years ag when I was starting t explre the wrld in earnest — making my first trips t Africa and Asia and the Arctic — I believed that lking at the wrld thrugh a camera held back my ability t see what was really in frnt f me and t ntice what mattered. I thught that trying t capture (捕获) gd pictures tk me ut f the mment and made me cnscius f cnstructing an image rather than absrbing what I was experiencing.
I’ve since changed my mind abut that. Tday I take plenty f phts, nt just n my travels but in the everyday life — when I ntice an interesting mushrm while walking the dg, r watch the clud frmatins befre a strm. I understand nw that taking pictures can be a way t stp and make better sense f the wrld arund us.
That’s ne imprtant utcme f the wrk that ur phenmenal phtgraphers d fr Natinal Gegraphic And it’s why I’m s pleased that we have devted this mnth’s magazine t immersing yu in that wrk.
Of curse, these prfessinals have a much different relatinship with phtgraphy than I d. Their wrk is creatively, intellectually, and lgistically challenging in ways that mst f us hbbyist phtgraphers can hardly imagine. Fr them, it is an art and a science that they’ve perfected — a way t stp us in ur tracks and make us pay attentin t a stry that needs t be tld. At their best, phtgraphers reveal what isn’t readily seen.
In additin t impressive phts, we’re letting yu hear directly frm a handful f ur phtgraphers, wh share stries that take yu deeper int sme f their mst interesting prjects. Yu’ll learn the extreme lengths t which ur cntributrs have gne t capture sme f these shts, and get a clser lk at the equipment that makes it all pssible.
I hpe yu enjy the issue.

5. What is a key ability f prfessinal phtgraphers accrding t the authr?
A. Simplifying cmplex prcesses.B. Imagining tuching stries.

Sme peple tday might be early risers because f DNA they take after Neanderthals tens f thusands f years ag, suggests new research.
When early humans migrated frm Africa t Eurasia rughly 70,000 years ag, sme f them mated with Neanderthals, wh had already adapted t the clder, darker climates f the nrth. The ripple (涟漪) effects f that intermating still exist tday: Mdern humans f nn-African ancestry (血统) have between 1 and 4 percent Neanderthal DNA. Sme f that DNA relates t sleep mre specifically, the internal bdy clck knwn as the circadian rhythm.
Fr the new study, researchers cmpared DNA frm tday’s humans and DNA frm Neanderthal fssils (化石). In bth grups, they fund sme f the same genetic variants invlved with the circadian rhythm. And they fund that mdern humans wh carry these variants als reprted being early risers.
Fr Neanderthals being “mrning peple” might nt have been the real benefit f carrying these genes. Instead, scientists suggest, Neanderthals’ DNA gave them faster, mre flexible internal bdy clcks, which allwed them t adjust mre easily t annual changes in daylight. This cnnectin makes sense in the cntext f human histry. When early humans mved nrth ut f Africa, they wuld have experienced variable daylight hurs — shrter days in the winter and lnger days in the summer fr the first time. The Neanderthals’ circadian rhythm genes likely helped early humans’ ffspring (后代) adapt t this new envirnment.
Ntably, the findings d nt prve that Neanderthal genes are respnsible fr the sleep habits f all early risers. Lts f different factrs beynd genetics can cntribute, including scial and envirnmental influences. The study als nly included DNA frm a database called the U.K. Bibank—s the findings may nt necessarily apply t all mdern humans. Next, the research team hpes t study ther genetic databases t see if the same link hlds true fr peple f ther ancestries. If the findings d apply mre bradly, they may ne day be useful fr imprving sleep in the mdern wrld, where circadian rhythms are disturbed by night shifts and glwing smartphnes.
8. What des the new research fcus n?
A. DNA’s dramatic changes.B. Genes’ influence n early risers.
C. Neanderthals’ sleeping patterns.D. Ancestrs’ envirnmental adaptability.
9. What is paragraph 2 intended t shw cncerning the new research?
A. Histrical cntext.B. Additinal prf.
C. Sample analysis.D. Studying prcess.
10. What is the real benefit f carrying Neanderthal’s DNA fr mdern humans?
A. Getting up earlier.B. Having healthier daily rutines.
C. Being mre flexible in their wrk.D. Pssessing a better circadian rhythm.
11. What can be inferred abut the findings frm the last paragraph?
A. They get prf frm ther studies.B. They are cnfirmed by early risers.
C. They suggest ptential applicatins.D. They reveal factrs in sleeping disrders.

We learn abut the wrld thrugh the knwledge accumulated ver thusands f years. standing n the shulders f great men, we dn’t have t experience endless trial and errr, just as the wheels d nt have t be reinvented each time t run a car. But where des ur ability t learn frm thers cme frm?
A study led by Markus Paulus, prfessr at Lyla Marymunt University, shws that the ability has its rts in earliest childhd. “It’s generally assumed that children’s ability t imitate (模仿) is inbrn, but accrding t ur bservatin, children imitate because they themselves are imitated by caregivers. This interactin enables a cultural transfer f knwledge, which, thrugh generatins’ effrts, cnsequently leads t the develpment f human beings,” says Markus Paulus.
In this research, Paulus recrded the interactin between mther and child ver several mnths. The babies came int the lab fr the first time at the age f6 mnths , while their final visit was when they were18 mnths ld. As they engaged in varius play situatins , the interactins and imitatins f mther and child were analyzed. The lng-term study shwed that the mre sensitive a mther was in her interactins with her six- mnth-ld child and the mre ften she imitated the baby, the greater the child’s verall ability was at the age f18 mnths.
Paulus’ research shws that mutual imitatin is the keystne f knwledge transfer , thrugh which children successfully learn varius skills, such as hw t use bjects , waving and acquisitin f language. “This interactin is the nucleus f learning and, finally, gives rise t evlutinary success f human,” says Paulus.
“Cultural learning is an essential part f human evlutin, and it is rted in the imitatin f thers, particularly ur caregivers during ur earliest childhd,” says Paulus. “Thrugh this, we learn frm each ther and pass n knwledge t the next generatin, s certain actins r techniques d nt have t be cnstantly invented again. ”
12. Why des the authr mentin the example f wheels?
A. T praise the inventin f car wheels.B. T describe the prcess f trial and errr.
C. T emphasize the necessity f new tls.D. T shw the imprtance f prir knwledge.
13. What can we learn abut Paulus’ research?
A. Children’s imitatin was recrded by mthers.
B. Sensitive mthers encuraged children’s imitatin.
C. Children’s ability was analyzed thrugh interactin.
D. Effective interactin prmted children’s develpment.
14. What des the underlined wrd “nucleus” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Cre.B. Result.C. Aim.D. Cntent.
15. Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Why des Evlutin Matter?B. Hw t Interact with Children?
C. Imitatin: The Engine f EvlutinD. Cultural Learning: The Rt f Imitatin

It was ne f thse freezing nights we gt here in Minnesta in the middle f winter. The dampness in the air gt trapped and a curtain f fg sank all arund, mixing with the snw n the grund and the strng snw falling frm the sky t white ut everything. Nrmally I wuldn’t drive in that kind f weather, but I’d been at a Tupperware party all evening, and I was s exhausted. The desire t be in the cmfrt f my wn hme beat my better judgment. Hwever never had I imagined my little act culd save my life n such a night.
I was nly n the rad fr a minute befre I regretted my decisin nt t stay put. The winding cuntry rad was ttally deserted. My car’s headlights culd barely cut thrugh the heavy fg. The snw was getting heavier. A lt heavier. Everything beynd a few feet in frnt f me was a mystery. I drve slwly. I wasn’t quite sure where I was, thugh I knew there were railways specifically built fr freight (货运) trains in this area. But in such weather, it was impssible t spt the tracks r any signs f an appraching train.
Trembling with cld, I turned up the heat. The lud blwers did their wrk, sheltering me frm the bitter cld and the sund utside. Seemingly, everything went smthly as I inched frward.
All at nce, my headlights shne n a small animal in frnt f me, right at the farthest pint they culd reach. I hit the brakes-tires screeched (发嘎吱声) against the snw as the car was cming t a stp. When the wrld stpped spinning, taking a clser lk, I fund it was a brwn rabbit, its fur cvered with ice crystals in the headlights. I tapped the hrn, n respnse. I tried again, yet the little creature remained rted-it appeared unwilling t get ut f the way. Curiusly, I gt ut f the car and made my way tward it.
