You don't need to be a whale expert to know that these large animals are most at home in the depths of the world's many oceans. You may not be surprised then, that there were no survivors when 477 pilot whales became stuck on New Zealand's remote Chatham Islands in October. It was one of the

country's  largest mass  stranding(搁浅) incidents.

Whereas in the past local authorities were able to quickly mobilize teams to try and rescue the whales, that ideal result was impossible this time. In a post published by the New Zealand whale protection non-profit organization Project Jonah, the group highlighted the many difficulties involved in any attempt at saving the whales. The remote Chatham Islands have a small population, meaning trained medics would be unable to get to the scene in time. In addition there was a risk posed by predators (捕

食者)attracted to the beach which threatened both rescue teams and any other surviving whales.                      

Due to these factors, the whales that managed to survive for a while onshore had their dreams of returning to the ocean cut short. The decision was finally made to euthanize ( 安 乐 死 )all of the

       remaining living whales on the beach. The general manager of Project Jonah. Daren Grover, described

the outcome as"heartbreaking", according to the New York Post.

This event took place less than a month after 230 whales were found stranded on the Australian  island of Tasmania. Fortunately, about 30 of those animals were able to be saved in time by local

authorities, according to NPR.

The cause of these mass stranding events is not clear at the moment, although various theories have  been raised.Grover said that there may be an issue with the animals' echolocation ability—the sense

that allows them to navigate (引航) through the water.

4. Why couldn't the local authorities rescue the whales this time, according to Project Jonah?

A. The number of stranded whales was too large.

A. The majority of whales were seriously injured.

B.  The island was remote and dangerous for rescue teams

C.  Trained medics in the area were all already busy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. What's Grover's attitude toward the outcome of this stranding incident?

A.Angry.                        B.Sad.                                        C.Doubtful.                     D.Worried.

6. What can we learn from the text?

A.Mass whale stranding incidents are common.

B. About 30 whales were successfully saved this time.

C. This whale stranding incident could have been avoided.

D.The cause of mass stranding events remains a mystery.

7.Where are you most likely to read this article?

A.In a book review.                                              B. In a travel journal.

C.In a leaflet.                                                        D. In a newspaper

When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But if you also gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary  better,  even  months  later.  Linking  a  word  to,brain  areas  responsible  for  movement

strengthens the memory of its meaning.

As   Mathias   and   his   colleagues   describe   in   the   Journal   of  Neuroscience,   they   had   22 German-speaking  adults  learn  a total  of 90  invented  artificial words  over  four  days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were at the same time shown a video.of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the word. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the

gesture themselves

Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German in a  test. At the same time, they had a device attached to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses to their primary motor cortex(皮质运动区)—the brain area that controls voluntary arm movements. When

these interfering signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by  gestures. When the device sent no interfering signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active),  they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex mattered

after using magnetic pulses to deliberately disrupt these areas in language learners.

"There's now quite a lot of literature showing that gestures play a role in learning. I think where this study takes it a step further is trying to understand why," says Goldin-Meadow, a psychologist at the University of Chicago. Research like this, as well as brain imaging, suggests the activation of the brain's motor areas could be a factor."It's not necessarily the only reason why," Goldin-Meadow adds,

"but it's probably a contributor."

Back in 1995, a study showed that gestures facilitated French-language learning. Even transferring the  words  to  a  new  context  worked  better."I  think  we  underuse  gesture  in  our  classrooms," Goldin-Meadow says."People use it spontaneously (不由自主地), if they're good teachers and good

listeners, but we don't necessarily bring it into the class if we don't think about it—and it could be used
