9、a heart attack, and two of her four childrenboth of her sonsdied in accidents. Keeling had sunk into a deep depression. Her health had begun to slide and her daughter, Cheryl, began to worry that she soon might be losing her mother as well. Keelings daughter is a lifelong athlete. That may be what w

10、ould pull her mother out from under her dark cloud. She suggested a run. Not just a jog around the block, but an official run. At the time, Ida Keeling was 67. It had been decades since Keeling had done any running, and she would later recall that the first “mini-run” was wonderful. “I just threw of

11、f all my bad memories,” Keeling says. She hasnt stopped running since, and its no longer the difficulty it was during that first meet. Since then, Keeling has set records for 60 meters in the 95-99 age group, and in 100 meters for the over 100 group. “I was just exercising,” she says, “and now Im al

16、o learning. In fact, studies show that, when were curious about a subject, we are much more likely to remember information we learned about that subject. If youre an educational professional or are considering earning a teaching degree and entering the classroom, knowing how to enlighten students cu

17、riosity can help you improve learning outcomes. Curiosity most often begins with “why”. Why does natural gas burn blue? Why is blue spelled blue and not blew? Why does the wind blow? If you want to fire up your students curiosity, you need to encourage them to ask and try to answer questions. That m

18、eans you should avoid giving tedious lectures where you explain everything. Instead, try designing your classes so that you re posing questions. And be sure to leave openings for students to participate and ask questions about what they re learning. Not every question your students ask will be a que

19、stion you expect. But all questions prove a curious mind, so dont dismiss questions that dont fit with your lesson. Instead, leave unstructured time in class to address unexpected questions, or establish a system whereby unexpected questions can be “stored” for later, like on a whiteboard or in an o

20、nline document. In addition to making room for unexpected questions, you should also make room for students exploration of their questions. If you give your students enough time to discuss questions, their curiosity is certainly to expand. Curiosity is a fuel. It drives us to try to figure things ou

21、t and, finally, to learn. So make sure you give your students time for reflection after every class. Ask them to create a quick piece of art to reflect what theyve learned. Not only does this kind of reflection aid in learning, it can also teach students to make curiosity a constantly present part o

Indian elephants, a

25、subspecies of Asian elephants, have been considered endangered since 1986. There are only an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 Indian elephants left in the wild, and the global population is believed to be decreasing. Habitat loss is widely considered a direct threat to Indian elephants. Recent economic gr

26、owth and subsequent increased development in Asia are the main causes of this habitat loss. From expanding human settlements and mining to converting land to plantations and infrastructure(基础建设), many activities can block migratory elephant routes and drive them into smaller sub-populations. When an

27、imals are forced into smaller pockets of populations, they risk losing genetic diversity and have a higher chance of dying from disease and natural disasters. In India, elephants have faced a 70% population decline over the last 60 years. When accounting for climate change projections, scientists pr

28、edict that the elephant population in the country could lose over 40% of its habitat by 2070. As elephants lose their habitats to human settlements and development, interactions between humans and elephants also rise. Elephant populations, especially those living outside of protected areas, wander i

29、nto agricultural lands in search of food and cause crop or property loss. Even worse, these impacts may cause farmers and residents to retaliate against the elephants if they believe their assets are in danger. Poison or other deadly methods have been used. Although countries like India, Vietnam, an

30、d Myanmar have completely banned the capture of wild elephants for any purpose, illegal hunting still happens in those and other nations where Indian elephants live. Countries around the world are taking action to protect Indian elephants. In parts of Myanmar, teams of rangers work to protect and co

31、-manage wild elephant populations with the Wildlife Conservation Society. They use the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool(SMART), a geographic information systems-based software to systematically collect, manage, analyze, and report data collected from forests. With SMART, park managers can deplo

32、y rangers strategically in hotpots for illegal hunting or other illegal activities, manage efforts, and organize resources.12What is the immediate cause of the decline of Indian elephants number?AThe growth of economy.BThe loss of their habitat.CThe change of the climate.DThe increase of illegal hun

33、ting.13What do the figures in paragraph 4 show?AThe main change of ecosystem.BThe main features of Indian elephants.CThe problems caused by Indian elephants.DThe severity of Indian elephants situation.14How does the SMART work?ABy completely preventing hunting.BBy collecting and reporting data colle

34、cted from forests.CBy founding the Wildlife Conservation Society.DBy counting the population of wildlife.15Whats the purpose of this text?ATo advertise for Indian elephants.BTo attract tourists to watch Indian elephants.CTo appeal to people to protect Indian elephants.DTo introduce Spatial Monitorin

37、right” figure. _17_ Getting enough sleep can be a challenge in the teen years because theres a change in the brains production of a hormone called melatonin(褪黑素), which brings about feelings of sleepiness.
