When Clleen Telfer mved t Mnash with her tw daughters, nne f them expected just hw much it wuld change their lives.
It started with buying the small twn’s general stre and ended with the Telfers vlunteering tgether at a Suth Australian fire brigade (消防队).
In the first tw years f the stre, she wuld see the Mnash Cuntry Fire Service (CFS) engines fly past, lcated just acrss the rad. Whether they
were getting int the trucks at a mment’s ntice r cming int her shp fr a feed, she gt t knw the brigade and decided t jin them.
Her desire t give back was shared by her 20-year-ld daughter, Lara. “When the siren (警报器) wuld g ff, I used t hate missing ut,” Lara said.
The pair jined in February last year, and abut a year later they were jined by Clleen’s yungest daughter, 18-year-ld Sphie.
As a senir vlunteer firefighter, Clleen’s respnsibilities have grwn t include driving the brigade’s trucks. “I knw it is ften male-dminated,
but dn’t lk at it like that. Females are just as gd as males in any rle,” Clleen said.
In Nvember 2021, Gergie Crnish became the first wman t be appinted chief fficer fr the CFS. Ms. Crnish said there were still
miscnceptins that wmen might find it hard t d sme jbs. “Wmen are smetimes better suited t sme f thse rles,” she said. “It’s very
easy fr us t assume that strength is everything we need in a firefighter. It’s nt. Smetimes it’s agility and nimbleness (敏捷性和灵活性) that we
actually need in the jbs we’re ging t.”
Being part f smething greater has strengthened the Telfers’ mther-daughter cnnectins in mre ways than ne. “As a mther, yu d wrry
abut yur children, but we’re nt there by urselves,” Clleen said. “We’ve always gt ther firefighters arund wh can help us.”
【小题1】What did Cllee n decide t d after mving t Mnash?

A．Sell ff her lcal stre.
B．Becme a truck driver.
C．Jin CFS as a vlunteer.
D．Set up a vlunteer fire brigade.
【小题2】What is Lara’s attitude tward Clleen’s decisin?
A．Supprtive.
B．Dubtful.
C．Uninterested.
D．Thankful.
【小题3】Which statement wuld Crnish agree with?
A．Wmen are mre likely t get hurt in fires.
B．Wmen are less interested in physical wrk.
C．Wmen are well aware f ther peple’s feelings.
D．Wmen are capable f perfrming firefighting duties.
【小题4】Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?

Bld may be thicker than water when it cmes t human relatinships and it appears that the same is true f jackdaws (寒鸦) after scientists fund
they readily switch friends t gain fd but stick with family even at the risk f ging hungry.
Alex Thrntn, a prfessr f cgnitive evlutin, said, “We mnitr hundreds f wild jackdaws, each f which is fitted with a tiny PIT tag like the
chips (芯片) used fr pet cats and dgs — embedded in (嵌入) a leg ring. In this experiment we randmly divided jackdaws int tw grups — A r B —
and prgrammed a pair f autmated PIT tag-detecting devices t prvide wrms nly if individuals frm the same grup(AA r BB) visited tgether.” If
birds frm different grups arrived tgether — A with B — the feeders wuld remain clsed. Single birds wuld get grain, but nt the mre desirable
wrms.
Thrntn said, “The idea was t find ut if jackdaws culd readjust their scial assciatins. They might have friends in the wrng grup. D
jackdaws ditch them and start t hang ut with individuals wh are in the right grup? The jackdaws turned ut t be very strategic, quickly learning t
abandn friends frm the ther grup s they culd get the best rewards. Hwever, they made an exceptin when it came t their clse relatins even if
they gt nthing. What we were able t d here was test the idea: can individuals keep track f the utcmes f past interactins and update their
relatinships? It turns ut they can.”
Thrntn said jackdaws were an excellent subject matter as they were clever and had dynamic scial netwrks. “Yu’ve gt individuals cming and
ging s beynd their strng relatinships, and they have lts f ther assciatins. They are similar t human sciety.” Michael Kings, f the University
f Exeter, said, “These results help ur understanding-f the evlutin f intelligence as they shw that being able t track and remember infrmatin
abut scial partners can bring benefits.”
【小题1】Which f the fllwing matters mst fr jackdaws accrding t the experiment?
A．Their family.
B．Aviding ging hungry.
D．Their friends.
C．Staying away frm risks.
【小题2】What can be learned abut the jackdaws in the experiment?
A．Jackdaws n their wn gt wrms.

B．Jackdaws with their family gt grain.
D．Jackdaws frm different grups gt grain.

Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic islands are remte, rcky and endlessly fascinating. The wildlife encunters are quietly breathtaking and the scenery

seabird cunt at 14:00 and a clud survey at 18:00. Or yu might be phtgraphing whales and nting their unique markings. In additin, a citizen
science crdinatr (协调员) will arrange shrt lectures.
Take tw examples frm Plar Latitudes (the first t ffer citizen science prjects in the plar regins), and their ship the Seaventure: citizen scientists
studying clud frmatins in Antarctica have prvided a great deal f infrmatin abut hw glbal warming is deeply impacting climate change. Just a
few readings taken during the curse f each vyage have resulted in a wealth f data. Thusands f whale tail phts taken by citizen scientists,
meanwhile, prvided data that was crucial t the creatin f a 20,000-sq-km slw-dwn zne t reduce ship strikes.
There are ften multiple chances t cllabrate (协作) n different prjects during yur vyage and n-bard citizen science crdinatrs will keep
yu psted n the prjects yu can participate in each day.

Mst nights, there was a light cming frm the tiny island n the ther side f the lake. I always thught that was strange because suppsedly, n

The next day, we planned t g fishing. We always g befre sunup and I was s wrried abut versleeping that I wke up extra early. Dale was
already n the bat. I lked acrss the lake, which was smth as glass. “Huh,” I said. “There’s the light again. Only this time there was n wind,
and the flashes appeared in a specific way. “It’s an SOS distress signal!” I said immediately. Dale laughed. “Mrse cde (摩斯密码)? N ne uses that
ld thing anymre.”
“N, watch,” I said. “It ges dt-dt-dt, dash-dash-dash, dt-dt-dt. That’s SOS. I learned it at By Scuts. I had t send and receive messages
using Mrse cde.”
“Yu guys are ging t scare all the fish away!” Dad said. “What’s ging n?”
I tld him abut the light but it had stpped. And he advised us t check if Mr. Mri was at his cabin (小木屋). He might knw Mrse cde due t his
