23、hip.The blue whale holds the current record as the largest creature to live on Earth, but a collection of bones found in Per u might break that record. Researchers have identified a whale species called Perucetus colossus in the publication Nature. Bones from this species, including backbones weighi
24、ng over 100 kilograms each and ribs measuring nearly 1. 4 meters long, were found by Mario Urbina in 2012 in the Ica desert.The area where the bones were found was once underwater, making it a rich source of ocean fossils. The find resulted in 13 backbone vertebrae (脊椎), four ribs and a hip bone. Th
25、e large fossils date back to around 39 million years ago. Alberto Collareta, a lead writer of the study, described the fossils as unlike anything he had ever seen before.The researchers used 3D scanners to study the bones surface and also looked inside. Based on the incomplete skeleton, the team est
26、imated that the ancient creature weighed somewhere between 85 and 340 metric tons. Comparatively, the largest blue whales found fell within that range, at around 180 metric tons. The Perucetus colossus measured about 20meters long, while blue whales can reach 30 meters in length. This means the newl
27、y discovered whale was “feasibly the heaviest animal ever,” said Alberto Collareta. But he added, “it was most likely not the longest animal ever.”Interestingly, the density and weight of the Perucetus colossus bones were much higher than those of a blue whale. This suggests that the colossal whale
28、may have inhabited shallower coastal waters, similar to other coastal animals with heavy bones.Another researcher, Amson, said, without the skull, it is hard to know what the whale was eating to support such a huge body. It is possible that the large creature sought food along the seafloor, the rese
29、archers said. Or it could have eaten up tons of smaller sea life in the ocean. Swiesen, a paleontologist, added that he would not be surprised “if this thing actually fed in a totally different way that we would never imagine.”28What do Paragraphs 1 and 2 say?AMassive prehistoric oceanic bones were

32、ry in Peru Puzzles World ResearchersDThe Backbones Give New Insights about the Blue WhaleHip-hop started 50 years ago as an escape from poverty and violence in Bronx, New York City. The music and style appealed to Black and Latino teenagers. As hip-hop spread throughout New York, so did the culture.
33、People often mix up hip-hop with rap. Rap is a musical style that combines quick recitation of rhymes with musical beats. But hip-hop is more than just music. It is a culture, and rap music is one part of it. Hip-hop also includes other activities, like breakdancing, disc-jockeying and graffiti art.
34、 In his 1993 song Hip Hop vs. Rap, KRS-One said: “Rap is something you do. Hip hop is something you live.” In the early days of hip-hop, playing music on the streets or turning a basketball court into a dance floor may have seemed like a simple invitation to have fun and party. But it actually was a
35、n answer to social and economic injustice in poor neighborhoods. It was a way to show joy and imagination even without resources and wealth.As hip-hop and rap music grew into a force in American culture, entertainers used it to speak to their personal realities. In 1982, in the song The Message, Gra
36、ndmaster Flash and the Furious Five criticized poverty and a lack of investment in Black communities. Several years later, Tupac Shakur complained about police violence in the song Changes. Today, hip-hops influence on music and other industries is so widespread that experts say it becomes difficult
37、 to measure.There is also hip-hops influence on protest, resistance and political dissent (异议) around the world. From the Arab Spring and the Palestinian freedom fight to feminism and class struggles, rap music is a popular expression for calls to action. Music videos produced by artists in Africa,
38、Europe, Asia and South America often include breakdancers, graffiti and other elements of hip-hop.“Hip-hop took the chains off us and said, No, were gonna say it our way, ” Al Sharpton, American civil rights leader, said, “It was that freedom. It was that raw, non-watered down kind of expression.”32
39、What is Paragraph 1 mainly about as for hip-hop?AIts background.BIts content.CIts diversity.DIts popularity.33What can be inferred according to KRS-One?AHip-hop develops quickly in the world.BHip-hop carries an attitude towards life.CHip-hop makes people confused about life.DHip-hop focuses on havin

41、t satisfies the publics tastes.DIt helps speak out for the poor.By clicking the thumbs up, posting a comment, or sharing a post, people are validating (认可) each other at an increasing rate. This, as well as the need for in-person validation, can create anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem and ma
42、ke it addictive to hear praise, acceptance, and acknowledgment in all aspects of life.To break free from external validation, its key to learn to be aware when you are seeking it. 36 Here are some meaningful steps to begin that journey. 37 Getting off social media is a great place to start. This red
43、uces the comparison to others or the anxiety and stress about how your picture, post, or comment is being seen and received by others.Be mindful. Look carefully at what you are doing. 38 These are self-validations that help you build up your acknowledgment of your own abilities, talents, and skills.
44、Do not ask for validation. 39 If you do receive validation (encouragement or acknowledgment) recognize the praise and acknowledge it, then stop. Do not continue to ask others or seek out others for validation.Keep in mind that validation is not a bad thing in your life; it is positive without doubt.
