Climate change culd turn the Arctic Ocean int a high-speed ice superhighway. Large pieces f sea ice in the Arctic are becming thinner as ld ice melts. The new ice that’s replacing it travels farther and faster than the lder ice des. As the new ice travels, it carries dirt, rganisms and pllutin alng fr the ride, new research shws.
Researchers have been tracking the mvements f the Arctic ice fr several years. They nticed that the area cvered by ice making the trip frm ne side f cean t the ther has grwn larger and larger. That mvement means that far-away reaches f the Arctic are becming mre cnnected, ntes Rbert Newtn, frm Clumbia University.
The speedy ice is a prblem, he explains. The reasn: It increases the risk f spreading pllutin frm sme envirnmental disasters, such as il spills. An il spill during the summer culd becme trapped in this autumn ice. The ice culd then quickly mve frm ne cuntry’s waters t anther’s, he ntes, rapidly spreading the spill’s impact n the envirnment.
Between when it frms and melts, the ice can get pushed acrss the Arctic by winds and cean currents. These frces mre easily pushed yung, thin ice alng than ld ice. Newtn and clleagues wndered what the impact wuld be n these ice rafts( 浮水排) and the pllutin they held. Less ice culd mean less space t carry a large lad f pllutants. But a less crwded Arctic might let the ice travel farther and faster.
In the study, the researchers put tgether pictures f the Arctic, which came frm satellites far abve the surface. They used cmputer sftware that can recgnize the edges f sea ice. This allwed them t fllw the mvements f the ice frm frmatin t melting. T help them d that , they als included tracking buys(浮标) n the ice that had been equipped with GPS devices.
Abut 60% f the Arctic ice travels less than 100 kilmeters frm its birthplace, they fund. The rest cvers an area equal t tens f thusands f square kilmeters. It can travel hundreds r even thusands f kilmeters. And that ice is mving faster as well.
What des the text fcus n?
Climate change is becming mre serius.
The Arctic ice travels fast and carries pllutin.
It’s difficult t fllw the mvements f the ice.
The Arctic is likely t be cvered by the ice.
Why is the speedy ice a prblem accrding t Rbert Newtn?
It travels much faster than befre.
It is much easier t pllute than befre.
It results in mre envirnmental disasters.
It makes pllutin mre likely t be spread.
Why did the researchers study pictures f the Arctic taken by satellites?
T find ut hw far the ice can g.
T make it clear hw the ice cmes int being.
T learn abut the riginal situatins f the Arctic.
T see hw a mving ice cnnects itself with anther.

The deep, gentle vice helped calm the nervus girl. Asking a favr f the President f the United States was n casual matter, especially fr a seventeen-year-ld girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wuldn’t have dared t ask yu, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan t make it in an admirable manner.”
President Lincln smiled. “Painters, sculptrs — they’ve all tried t make the best f this rdinary face, but I’m

The President’s eyes, brightened at her shw f spirit. “Srry, madam, I have underestimated yu as I didn’t knw
yur backgrund.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bny fingers, in thught. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like t let yu d it, but as yu knw, we are in the middle f a war. Hw culd I pssibly take the time t pse fr a sculpture nw? I hardly have a minute t myself.”
Vinnie glanced arund and nted the size f his ffice. “I wrk quickly,”she said. Her vice was sft but cnfident as she pinted t the crner near the windws. “If I were t bring my clay here and wrk fr three hurs every afternn, I culd cmplete mst f the prject while yu are at yur desk.”
The President seemed t cnsider her idea seriusly. He gt up and shk Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard that yu are a talented yung wman, and I have fund yu charming and intelligent as well. I cannt make my decisin immediately, but yu will hear frm me sn.”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitatin frm the President.
What gave Vinnie cnfidence t make her request f President Lincln?
Her aggressive persnality.
Mr. Mills’s encuraging remark.
President Lincln’s gentle vice.
Her interest in a challenging jb.
Hw did President Lincln first respnd t Vinnie’s request?
