Pashby's persnal stries run thrugh the bk，frm her childhd memries f playing in Dartmr's sudden fg t current life in fg-prne （容易起雾的） Ctswlds.On her jurneys，she als explres her "fg self"，a cncept described by pet Alice Oswald，reflecting her absrptin in fg.Fg enables Pashby t see things differently and welcme the unknwn.She sees it as a "visual representatin f dreams".The bk cmbines science with engaging cntents n histry，nature and persnal experiences.We learn new names f fg and much abut the relatinship between fg and art.Pashby discusses hw fg influenced the Impressinists like Mnet，and hw writers frm Dickens t Wilde used fg as characters.She believes creative thughts are brught abut by fg's transfrmative pwer.

Fr decades，scientists have mnitred nly a narrw range f chemical pllutants in the envirnment.Yet the mdern wrld cntains thusands f industrial cmpunds，frm industrial catings t husehld cleaners，and mst have never been systematically tested fr safety.T discver what else might be hidden in nature，researchers are turning t sme unexpected assistants：sea lins，cndrs（加州秃鹰），alligatrs（短吻鳄） and ther animals.
These creatures act as"sentinel species，"meaning they can ffer insight int the invisible chemistry f their surrundings.Because they live lng lives and ccupy the tp f fd webs，pllutants tend t build up in their tissues.By studying their bld，feathers，r rgans，scientists can detect nt nly familiar pllutants such as PCBs and flame retardants but als entirely new chemical families that had previusly gne unnticed.
A technique knwn as nn-targeted analysis allws researchers t search fr all chemical cmpunds within an animal sample rather than searching fr ne pllutant at a time.Using this pen-ended methd，teams have identified hundreds f chemicals in wild animals—many came frm industrial prducts，plastics，and husehld cleaners.Each finding helps map hw mdern pllutants travel thrugh air，water，and fd chains.
In Califrnia，cndrs that feed n marine carcasses carry signs f chemicals transprted frm the cean.Alligatrs in Flrida reveal pllutants leaking frm factries and wastewater systems.These results serve as a warning：pllutin is nt limited t cities r industrial znes but spreads acrss ecsystems and species，including humans.
Scientists argue that this brader apprach culd reshape hw envirnmental mnitring is dne.Rather than reacting t ne chemical crisis after anther，researchers can nw build a cmprehensive picture f eclgical health.As ne bilgist said，"When wildlife tells us smething is wrng，it's nt just abut them—it's abut the planet we share."The message is bth scientific and mral：prtecting nature's warning species means prtecting urselves.
12.What des the underlined phrase"sentinel species"in paragraph 2 mean？ ______
A. Pllutant indicatrs.B. Waste cllectrs.
C. Chemical prducers.D. Husehld cleaners.
13.Why des the authr mentin cndrs and alligatrs in paragraph 4？ ______
A. T cmpare their dietary patterns in the wild.
B. T prve harmful substances differ in varius regins.
C. T explain the link between diet and chemical expsure.
D. T emphasize pllutants can travel thrugh varied habitats.
14.What can be inferred abut the brader apprach in the last paragraph？ ______
A. It helps reslve envirnmental crises effectively.
B. It replaces the existing pllutin mnitring methds.
C. It prvides an integrated view f envirnmental prblems.
D. It judges wildlife's living cnditins thrugh human behavir.
15.What can be a suitable title fr the text？ ______
A. Hw Humans Prtect the Warning Species
B. Hw Animals Accumulate Industrial Pllutants
C. Hw Humans Benefit frm Wildlife Mnitring
D. Hw Animals Help Scientists Track Dwn Pllutants
