National Geographic Exhibit " Titanic : The Untold Story"

The National Geographic Museum is always an interesting and educational place to visit. The admission isn't free but is definitely worthwhile for unique exhibits like this. We'll be taking a self-guided tour but there may also be museum staff on hand. About the exhibition

On this exhibition, you will be surprised to find that the sunken Titanic was discovered by Robert Ballard, who was then carrying out a top secret Cold War mission(任务). In 1985, Ballard's mission was to dive to depths of 9 ,800 feet using a camera system called Argo to find and document the exploded remains of the submarine(潜艇) Scorpion. The objective of the mission was to gain evidence to determine what led to her loss. After concluding his successful investigations, Ballard used the final 12 days of his expedition to discover the remains of Titanic.

The exhibition - originally exhibited at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum -shows the history of the discovery from an entirely new angle. Not only are visitors exposed to the historical events that led to the ship's finding, but they can hear the fascinating stories of some of the passengers on board the ship. In addition to items borrowed from families of the survivors that have not been reunited since the night the ship sank in 1912, the exhibition contains those from the rich collections of the National Archives and the 20th Century Fox Archives. There are also movie sets and clothes worm by actors from the 1997 movie Titanic.

"Ae," she said, meaning ”yes" in Hawaiian, when asked a question by a male voice. ”Ae hanau ia wau i Honoma'ele.”("Yes, I was born in Honoma'ele," she said. ) That voice of an elderly Hawaiian woman was that of my great-grandmother, speaking her native language on a Honolulu radio program more than 40 years ago.

The first time I heard the CD recording, it sent thrills down my back. I never met my great-grandmother, but hearing her speak in the Hawaiian language was like magic. It was a way to meet her and tor the first time, I heard people speaking the Hawaian language to each other.

In Hawaii today, nearly everyone knows how to speak at least a few words of Hawaiian. But the practice of primarily speaking the Hawaiian language from birth nearly died with my great-grandmother's generation. A man named Larry Kimura- the voice interviewing my great-grandmother on that radio program - set out to change that. In the 1970s,when he started the 90-minute radio program, there were just about 2 ,000 of Hawaian speakers left who grew up speaking Hawaian in the home. Today, he puts that population at a couple of dozen.

The Hawaiian language had been banned from school instruction in 1896. And by the time Kimura's show was on the air, there weren't many places to formally learn the Hawaiian language, even as a second language. " Language is the first aspect of a people to vanish," said Kimura.” People don't recognize that until it's almost gone, because they' re hanging onto their typical culture identification tags such as their songs，their foods or what they wear.

As for my family, my great-grandmother did not pass along the Hawalian language to her children. But that doesn't mean it's too late. Last year, my kids and I joined a Hawaiian cultural group and hula school. Word by word, we are trying to teach ourselves what got dropped between the generations.

24. How did the author feel when she first heard Hawaiian spoken?

A. Moved.

B. Excited.

C. Relaxed.

D. Confused.

25. Why did Larry Kimura start the radio program?

A. To honor the author's ancestor.

B. To show the value of the language.

C. To save the Hawalian language.

D. To keep the Hawaiian people alive.

26. What does the underlined word " vanish" in paragraph 4 mean? "

A. Disappear.

B. Develop.

C. Exist.

D. Vary.

27. What does the author and her kids' experience indicate?

A. What is lost between generations.

B. How important cultural education is.

C. The influence of the radio program.

D. The need to protect Hawaiian people.

Few things are more satisfying than sleeping late on weekends. But though the extra sleep may improve your mood, it does not appear to improve your health. A new study shows that so-called " recovery sleep" cannot reset the body clock and may actually lead to some serious health problems.

Christopher Depner, an assistant professor at the Department of Integrative Physiology of the University of Colorado Boulder, said,”Sleep loss can influence a range of physiological systems. It can increase our risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, it can cause weight gain, and it can increase our risk of diabetes (糖尿病)."

In the study, Depner and his colleagues divided the volunteers into three groups.

One group was allowed to get a full night's sleep. The next was kept to just five hours each night. And the third group went back and forth, limited to five hours of shut-eye during the workweek, allowed as much sleep as they wanted over the weekend, and then back to five hours for the last couple of days.

"We found that a loss of sleep leads to a sharp increase in snaking (吃零食). But even more surprising, sleeping on the weekend doesn’t help--and even makes thing worse" said Depener. " After the weekend.,when they went back to getting inadequate sleep during the wok or school week, their liver and muscle insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity or blood sugar regulation was reduced. And this is not something we found in people who had long-term inadequacy sleep schedules. So it's possible that this is a worsening of the body's ability to regulate blood sugar for these specific tissues after the weekend. ”

So make a date with a pillow. And trade the sweets for sweet dreams.

28. What effect does sleep loss have on people?

A. It results in changes in their moods.

B. It does harm to the body clock.

C. It damages the liver severely.

D. It makes people become fatter.

29. What do we know about the volunteers in the second group?

A. They were allowed to have the least sleep in a week.

B. They could have as much sleep as possible on weekends.

C. Their liver and muscle insulin sensitivity was reduced.

D. Their ability to regulate blood sugar was found worsened.

30. What does the author advise readers to do according to the text?

A. To sleep extra hours on weekends.

B. To balance their work and sleep.

C. To trade some sweets as possible,

D. To get enough sleep on weekdays.

31. From which part of a website is the text probably taken?

A. Culture.

B. Health.

C. Sci-tech.

D. Fashion.

For a few months twice a year, the waters off California are home to gray whales moving north or south between the coast of Mexico and the Bering Sea. This year, however, it seems that fewer whales are surviving the journey north. So far this year,a total of 30 dead gray whales have washed up on the West Coast: Eight in Washington, one in Oregon and 21 in California. Those numbers are usually high.

In Northern California, three out of four of the dead whales that have been examined so far appear to have died of starvation and the fourth was killed by a ship strike, said Barbie Halaska, a research assistant at The Marine( 海洋的)Mammal Center ( TMMC)，a nonprofit organization that rescues and rehabilitates ( 使康复) marine mammals in California. Halaska and her colleagues examined the four whales ---three young whales and one adult male---and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days.

Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2 ,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946，so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 individuals and TMMC predicts there are now around 26 ,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean, which is about how many there were before the whaling boom got up steam almost 200 years ago.

Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead whales washing up this year is alarming, Halaska said. Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales' poor health,she said.

Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out for gray whales this time of year.

32. What are the statistics in paragraph 3 about?

A. Severe conditions facing gray whales.

B. An agreement to stop killing whales.

C. The evolving development of gray whales.

D. The number of gray whales in different times.

33. What's Halaska's attitude towards the population of gray whales?

A. Worried.

B. Discouraged.

C. Optimistic.

D. Uncaring.

34. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?

A. The importance of gray whales.

B. Gray whales' living environment.

C. Things to do to help gray whales.

D. Ways to increase gray whales' population.

35. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Gray Whales Are Threatened by Whalers

B. Why Many Gray Whales Died on California's Coast

C. Gray Whales Are in Great Danger of Dying Out

D. Where Gray Whales Move to Avoid Being Hunt
