Not all children want to listen to their parents. However, parents have been around for at least two decades or so longer than their kids. 1. Here are four ways in which they might be right.
2. People should want to grow and change with time in a good way. People who hang around with those who are not as smart as they are will stagnate (停滞). So try to surround yourself with people who are worth learning from.
The more you learn, the less you really know. People tend to believe that they are right about everything before they’ve really learned anything about the world. 3. This is largely due to contrast: people will realize how ignorant (无知) they were in the past after they’ve learned certain things, making them realize how much they’ve left to learn.
Growing up too fast is truly bad. 4. However, these are the years when you are going to be more protected from the cruel realities of adulthood. You should try to appreciate this aspect of this life stage without being concerned with pushing your development too hard.
It is better to try and fail than fail to try. Children have to learn that failure is part of life. 5. However, the sting (刺痛) of failure disappears gradually, and the regret about missed opportunities is going to sting far more for many adults. So don’t stop going for certain goals because of a fear of failure.
A. Parents are wiser than you think.
B. It’s hard enough for adults to accept.
C. Being around people who don’t challenge you is a bad idea.
D. Your childhood years may not be the best years of your life.
E. They have some life experience, and it makes sense to listen to them.
F. People who bring out the best in others will reach their personal best.
G. By the time they have, they’ll realize how complicated (复杂) the world can be.
Dust on furniture may be bad news for waistlines (腰围). But it’s far too early to add dusting to a weight-loss plan. Dietary fats and other materials that make up indoor dust can send a signal to human fat cells, telling them to grow. That process, in turn, might slow the body’s rate of burning energy. Such changes could add to any weight problems a person might have.
“We don’t know what that means to long-term health and certain diseases yet,” says Heather Stapleton, one of the study’s authors. But she notes that her team’s findings also raise a question of whether pollutants in dust might play some role in the growing, global problem of obesity (肥胖).
Stapleton and her colleagues collected dust from homes and offices. Studies found that some materials in the dust could turn on a protein (蛋白质) called PPAR-gamma 1. It’s found in many human tissues. Turning this protein on can cause fat cells to grow. Researchers think this protein may be involved in obesity. But a second study now finds evidence that certain fats are mostly to blame. Cooking oils may send out some of these fats into the air, where they eventually find their way into house dust. Or, the authors say, the fats might enter house dust as part of the hair or skin cells shed (脱落) by people or pets.
“While the findings are amazing,” says Mitchell Lazar, another study author, “these findings need to be taken as very limited.” Indeed, he adds several cautions about how the findings should be understood. “For one thing, people eat these fats in foods all of the time. That is likely to be a lot more than would be consumed from indoor dust,” he said.
1.What do we know about PPAR-gamma 1? _____
A. It comes from dust.
B. It leads to weight gain.
C. It can help get rid of dust.
D. It only appears in human bodies.
2. What’s the best title for the text? _____
A. Can house dust make us fat?
B. Why is it important to clean?
C. Anything to do to deal with dust?
D. What is the best way to lose weight?
Since 2008, hunters have illegally killed more than 3000 rhinos in South Africa. The International Union for Conservation of Nature warns that rhinos may die out by 2026. People who hunt and kill illegally are called poachers. The most effective way to watch for and prevent illegal hunting is from the air. However, piloted flights are too costly. Fortunately, some Spanish college students have invented a drone (无人机) that can observe more places than a plane.
Arnau Garcia is an aeronautical (航空学的) engineering student at the Polytechnic Institute of Catalonia, in Spain. He says observers from the air have trouble finding poachers when they hide under the trees. Mr. Garcia and other students have worked with the drone manufacturer HEMAV to help find the hidden poachers. They make it by using the thermal camera, which is especially sensitive to body heat. Even when the poachers keep still, it can also keep track of them.
The drone can fly in the wind up to 55 kilometers per hour. It has an autopilot system, so it memorizes the flight path. The drone also has a microphone, a video camera and a GPS system. These permit it to report accurately where a picture is taken. After each flight, the drone can bring back detailed information about where rhinos are found, the conditions of water and plants in the area, and the positions of suspected poachers.
Experts say the drone can fly as far as 70 kilometers from the base. It means that it could quickly observe large areas for poachers. However, the same search operation would take days for human observers. Thanks to the drone, many poachers have been caught and the number of rhinos is on the increase. In addition, HEMAV has received an increasing number of orders for the drone. Even South African national park officials attempt to fill the air with drones.
1.What do we know about the drone? _____
A. It may get lost easily in the air.
B. It can’t work in the windy days.
C. It can offer detailed information.
D. It is useless when the poacher stays still.
2.What’s the best title for the text? _____
A. How to make the drone work well
B. A new way to stop illegal hunting
C. The living conditions of rhinos are worrying
D. The drone helps save rhinos in South Africa
