In the 1880s, with a population of 5, 000, Petrolia was one of the richest towns in Canada, all because of the foul-
10、smelling substance extracted (提取) from the ground. Many amazing stories about these great people have been written. Those adventurous individuals brought their hard-earned industry skills to the far corners of the globe, and assisted in the development of major oilfields around the world. Past richn

As they have for almost a century, Fairbank Heavy Hardware and the Oil Well Supply Company continue to provide the tools and materials required to serve many o

16、y, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision, according to a report published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.A teen who ate nothing but fries, chips and other junk food for years slowly went blind. The teens problems began at age 1
17、4, when he went to the doctors office complaining of tiredness. The teen was reportedly a picky eater, and blood tests showed he had anemia and low levels of vitamin B12. He was treated with injections of vitamin B12 along with advice on how to improve his diet.However, by age 15, he developed heari
18、ng loss and vision problems, but doctors couldnt seem to find the causeresults from an MRI and eye exam were normal. Over the next two years, the teens vision got progressively worse. When the boy was 17, an eye test showed that his vision was 20/200 in both eyes, the threshold (起始点) for being “lega
19、lly blind” in the United States.Further tests showed the teen had developed damage to the optic nerve (视神经). In addition, the teen still had low levels of vitamin B12, along with low levels of selenium (硒) and vitamin DThese deficiencies caused doctors to ask the teen about the foods he ate. “The pa
20、tient admitted that, since elementary school, the only things he ate had been fries, chips, white bread, processed ham slices and sausage,” the authors from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom wrote in the report.This kind of vision loss is potentially reversible (可逆的) if caught early. H
21、owever, by the time the teen was diagnosed, his vision loss was permanent. Whats more, wearing glasses would not help the teens vision, because damage to the optic nerve cannot be corrected with lenses, said the study lead author Dr. Denize Atan.8What does the text mainly talk about?AA poor diet can

24、a wildlife researcher at the University of Wyoming. He leads the Wyoming Migration Initiative, which studies the migratory (迁徙的) paths of animals like deer and elk (驼鹿) in the American state of Wyoming. In 2019, Kauffman and other scientists were talking at a conference in Italy. He began learning t
25、hat wildlife around the world had the same difficulties faced by Wyomings migratory deer and elk. “We just naturally got together, and nine or ten of us are working on migrations around the world,” Kauffman told Jackson Hole News & Guide. “We realized that a lot of the same things we were trying to
26、address by mapping migrations in Wyoming were applicable globally.”Their talk in 2019 was the beginning of an international effort that now includes 92 scientists and environmentalists. Their effort is called the Global Initiative on Ungulate (有蹄类动物) Migration. The aim is to gather information on th
27、e seasonal movements of gazelles in Mongolia and Norwegian reindeer. The hundreds of paths would then be presented in an electronic migration map. The researchers wrote a report that recently appeared in the publication Science. The report describes how animal movements over long distances to get fo
28、od and other resources are not doing so well. The main reason for the struggles comes from land development by humans. Roads and fences create barriers for the animals, restricting their movement. And the warming of the planet has also unsettled environmental systems. Joe Ogutu studies migratory eas
29、t African wildebeest, zebra and Thomsons gazelle for the University of Hohenheim in Stuttgart, Germany. Since 2015, he has watched the ungulate migration called Mara-Loita in southwestern Kenya stop working because of fence-building and sharing land space with hundreds of thousands of sheep and goat
30、s. Ogutu hopes that the Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration will bring attention to the Mara-Loita migration and other at-risk paths. “Publicity and attention,” he said, “will hopefully lead to its restoration and protection.”12What did Kauffman realize at the conference in Italy?AThe migratory
