10、 and later I read it to myself again and again. In the Suffolk countryside where I grew up, I would often spot deer in the fields. This book made me stop and study the animal tracks (痕迹) on the ground and made me think about the world around me in a different way. The novel is nothing like the sickl
11、y animated movie that came later. It doesnt turn the deer into cartoon, rather, it gives nature a voice, letting us in on the mysteries of its beautiful, secretive world, where even the leaves have something to say. I read this relatively recently when I was doing research for my novel The Unravelli
12、ng. Reading it feels a little like sitting by the fire in a pub on a cold night, a pint of beer in your hand, listening to one of the locals telling attractive stories. At face value, the book is a written and photographic record of a journey across East Anglia. But within each corner? You discover
13、other stories, a hidden history of the world you thought you knew. Reading it made the landscape I have known all my life transform before my eyes. Ive read this book every couple of years since I studied it for English A Level. Each chapter is a story in itself, a special fairytale love letter to t

17、y College Dublin, we have two official languages. Irish is the first and national language, English the second. I grew up speaking Irish in a small pocket of Ireland, in Ballinskelligs, County Kerry, where the language is still relatively common. Much to my surprise, I have found a practical use for
18、 it during my PhD programme.In December last year, I was contacted by producers at the national Irish-language radio station. They wanted to know whether I would be interested in joining a current-affairs discussion, and highlighted the difficulty of finding people with a strong background in immuno
19、logy who spoke Irish fluently.I have since been a guest on the show several times. It wasnt until I was asked to do the radio programme that I realized how important it is to have someone who can speak Irish and communicate effectively. I began to see a benefit in having a platform for talking about
20、 the science that I love, while getting the chance to convey (传达) important information to people who might not otherwise have access to it in English.Not only has Irish been useful for engagement in a broader sense, but it has also directly helped me with my PhD programme.To move beyond science and
21、 communicate with the public, researchers must be able to speak the language of our audience which is not always English. Science needs to reflect the linguistic diversity (语言多样性) of the general population. Having people at all levels of academia (学术界) who speak multiple languages, including Irish a
22、nd other minority languages, is important in bringing science to the masses and can benefit our scientific efforts.8What can we know about County Kerry?AThe author is studying for a PhD there.BThe author stays there most of the time.CMany people speak Irish there.DIrish is the official language ther

25、rgettable.It s an all too common story: A young child walks off during a party and falls into a backyard pool. No one notices shes missinguntil its too late. When Grayson Barron learned of such a tragedy in a friends neighborhood, the 18-year-old immediately jumped into problem-solving mode. The new
26、 pool alarm system hes just developed sends out several types of warnings when someone or something splashes into an unguarded pool. Grayson calls his floating system “The Buoy (浮标)”. The idea is to turn it on when no one is using the pool. A large splash will trigger its built-in sensors to send ou
27、t a series of alertsa flashing light, an alarm that sounds like a loud doorbell and a text to the owners mobile phone. You could be on the other side of the world and know if somebody has just jumped in your pool. Graysons is not the first pool alarm, but the teen says others all have drawbacks. Som
28、e are very costly. Other floating alarms can become stuck in corners of a pool or lose balance. He wanted a low-cost option that was reliable (可靠的). Grayson 3-D printed the main part of his device, then attached sensors. They detect its direction and movements. He then equipped the device with a lig
29、ht, a speaker and a wireless network that can send texts. A battery, which is hooked up to solar panels, keeps the system charged for months. While hard to design, the new system “is so easy to use,” says Grayson. “All I do is turn it on and throw it into a pool.” After that, he says, it just “does
