For many years,Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before.He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare,exotic species.

That might sound like an impossible dream,but Bexler turned it into a reality.

In December 2015,he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea.They were the first people ever to enter the mist-covered region.“As time was limited,we were dropped in by helicopter.Once we were on the ground,there were no trails anywhere;it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.

Within minutes of landing,the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck.The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters — the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.

The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists.They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species — 13 birds of paradise,20 frogs,four butterflies,and five palms.“We were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls.“Everywhere we looked,we saw amazing things we had never seen before.” 

The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists.Two long-nosed echidnas — primitive egg-laying mammals — let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them.An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.

Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before.“In almost all parts of New Guinea,animals are hunted for food,and because of this,they are very cautious of people,” he explains.“This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”

Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia.Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer-edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods.The wooded area is approximately a 10-day walk from the nearest village.

Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely.They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species.“We just scratched the surface,” Bexler says.“Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”

B.The locals live in the centre of the forest.

C.The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.

D.The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.

A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance

We all want it...to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach.　1　 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. 

●　2　 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.Why do you follow them?Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs?Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world. 

●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings,our mistakes and our failures.　3　 You will make mistakes,time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better,why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response?“That didn’t go as planned.But,I tried my best.” 

●Recognise all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strengths before weaknesses.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earn your degree,and you get out of bed today.　4　 

●Now that you’ve listed your strengths,list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don’t feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself.　5　 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are? 

A.Feeling upset again?

B.Where do you start?

C.Nothing is too small to celebrate.

D.Remember,you are only a human.

E.Set an intention for self-acceptance.

F.Stop comparing yourself with others.

G.When does the comparison game start?

2.F　根据后面的“Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.”可知,此处表示“停止与别人比较”。故选F项。

3.D　根据开头提及的“Forgive yourself for mistakes...”以及后面的“You will make mistakes...”可知,此处表示“要记住,你只是个普通人”。故选D项。

4.C　本段讲述要认识自身的长处,将它们写进日记,将你的成就列出来。你有一份工作,你获得了学位,你今天没有赖床。最后总结:无论事情多小,都值得庆贺。故选C项。
