Scientists in England are using tw self­directed water vehicles t explre the animal and plant life f the Celtic Sea.
The Celtic Sea is a bdy f water ff the suthern cast f Ireland. The area is knwn fr its unusual sea life. Scientists want t knw why sea creatures are s attracted t this part f the Atlantic Ocean.
One f the research vehicles is pwered by batteries (电池). It cllects infrmatin fr the Natinal Oceangraphy Center in Suthamptn, England, and the Wrld Wildlife Fund. The vehicle’s lw energy requirements permit it t stay flating n water fr up t 30 days. Reprts f what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.
Stephen Wdward is an engineer wh helped design the vehicle. He says the vehicle has equipment that can discver small rganisms called zplanktn (浮游动物) and fish. He adds that ther sensing equipment measures water currents and ther features f sea life. The vehicle als creates a map f the sea.
Anther vehicle is pwered by the sun and the wind.It can stay flating n water fr mnths. The rbtic vehicle sends infrmatin abut the s­called bidiversity htspts. A bidiversity htspt is an area f an cean that has a lt f plant and animal life activity.
Lavinia Suberg is ne f the scientists studying the Celtic Sea. She says prductive cean areas, like the Celtic Sea, attract zplanktn. The zplanktn then attracts fish. She adds that areas with a large increase f fish ften attract sea mammals and birds.
Using these rbtic cean vehicles greatly reduces the cst f explring the sea with manned labratries. Scientists can spend mre time analyzing the cllected infrmatin. They say the research will give them a better understanding f the needs f the Celtic Sea fr future management and prtectin.
8．Why d the British scientists explre the Celtic Sea?
A．T study the gegraphy f the sea.B．T learn why the sea is rich in sea life.
C．T test their self­directed water vehicles.D．T learn abut the sea creatures in the sea.
9．Accrding t the text，the water vehicles ________.
A．are cntrlled directly by humansB．wrk depending n the map f the sea
C．can send the infrmatin back directlyD．can keep flating n water fr a lng time
10．Accrding t Lavinia Suberg, the sea mammals and birds ________.
A．are afraid f living alneB．mainly feed n zplanktn
C．like t live in warm cean areasD．are especially interested in fish
11．What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A．The aim f sea explratin.B．The cst f explring the sea.
C．The imprtance f the water vehicles.D．Ways t deal with the cllected infrmatin.
It’s nt what yu wuld cnsider t be a healthy drink. But research suggests drinking beer can actually lwer yur bld pressure and reduce yur weight. Xanthhuml (黄腐酚), cntained in beer, culd reduce damage dne by high-fat diets, scientists claim. Such diets lead t a series f cnditins including besity, high bld pressure and bld sugar. But trials n mice fed with high-fat fds shwed that giving them beer culd curb sme f the cnditins.
Figures suggest a quarter f adults in the UK suffer frm metablic syndrme (代谢综合征), and arund 35 percent f Americans are believed t have it. It puts yu at greater risk f develping heart disease — the wrld’s leading killer — but it can be changed by making healthy lifestyle changes. Scientists at Oregn State University made the cnclusin after testing xanthhuml (XN) n bese mice. The findings back up previus research that has suggested the cmpunds culd be used in future t treat metablic syndrme.
And they ffer fresh hpe fr fighting metablic syndrme, because they cause n ptential side effects unlike cmpunds under current tests. Xanthhuml is knwn t transfrm int 8-PN, and researchers have lng been criticized fr the side effects. Prfessr Fred Stevens, lead authr, said, “If smene tk XN ver lnger perids f time, it culd lead t side effects, ptentially.”
But Prfessr Stevens said they came acrss the “slutin t the prblem” by adding water t XN — which stpped the creatin f 8-PN. And varius tests n mice, published in the jurnal Scientific Reprts, shwed the derivatives wrked but caused n harm. High-fat diets als lead t memry lss — but the cmpunds allwed mice t keep their learning, the researchers fund.
12．What des the research mentined in the first paragraph find?
A．Beer is in a way gd fr peple’s health.
B．Beer is ttally harmful t peple’s health.
C．High-fat diets are very ppular with peple.
D．High-fat diets can lwer peple’s bld pressure.
13．What des the underlined wrd “curb” in the first paragraph prbably mean?
A．Increase.B．Cntrl.C．Cause.D．Cntinue.
14．Hw did scientists at Oregn State University draw their cnclusin?
A．They studied sme nrmal mice.
B．They cmpared the results f different studies.
C．They bserved sme patients with heart disease.
D．They cnducted tests n sme verweight mice.
15．Which f the fllwing can slve the side effects f XN?
A．Keeping learning.B．Ding mre tests n mice.
C．Adding sme water t XN.D．Drinking mre beer if pssible.
Being a peple-pleaser (讨好型人格) is secnd nature t many peple. We tend t calm thse arund us, ften regardless f ur wn needs. Actually, it is unhealthy t d s. 16 Here are sme tips ne can fllw.
Be sure f yur wn value.
Yu were created differently frm every ther human. Overcming peple-pleasing starts with clearly knwing the value f yur thughts and actins, and that yur presence matters. By pleasing peple at the cst f yur wn desires, yu’re frgetting that yu are here fr a reasn.
17
When smething ges wrng, it’s quite natural fr me t say srry. It is pretty true f yu if yu’re a peple-pleaser t. Hwever, befre wrds f aplgy trip frm yur lips, stp and lk at the situatin. Aplgize sincerely and timely n cnditin that it’s really yur fault. Otherwise just let it g.
Keep saying n.
18 Indeed, getting ver peple-pleasing requires peple t understand that yu can say n and mean it. Saying n may be hard, but the mre yu say it, the mre yu understand hw imprtant it is t say.
Speak up.
Peple-pleasers like t agree with the masses. We are quiet, listening, waiting t agree n whatever decisin is reached. Many times, I simply stayed quiet and agreed, even when I really didn’t like the plans at all. And bitterness surged when I was asked t deal with what I didn’t want. 19 Even smetimes yu have t shut s as t be heard.
Withut any dubt, it’s difficult t g against the nature that yu tend t please everyne arund yu. 20 It’s the same with me. The best part is we get the grace f a new day t try all ver again.
A．Say srry actively.
B．Aplgize prperly.
C．It seems cmmn t agree t everything.
D．Chances are that yu’ll fail int ld patterns midway.
E．What cunts much is t change sme f yur daily habits.
F．Saying n is always the first chice fr many peple t make.
G．Learn t use yur vice bravely if yu’d like t vercme peple-pleasing.
