(广州高二期末)Everyone needs a buddy, even sharks.Sharks are often described as Hollywood monsters, the lone wolves hiding in the deep, hunting for prey.But that description of sharks is increasingly out of step with what scientists are learning about the animals.Instead, they say, some species of sharks are social creatures who return day after day to a group of the same fellow sharks.
Papastamatious's team studied gray reef sharks living in the waters off Palmyra Atoll Island.They attached small location transmitters to track the animals' movements around the reef.After tracking the sharks for four years, the researchers found that the same groups of sharks frequently returned to the same parts of the reef repeatedly.They also found that some of the groups stuck together longer than previous studies have observed.
The sharks might be motivated to stay together, Papapastamatious says, because it makes hunting for food easier.“If we hang out together and I see something, then you can come and try and take advantage of that,”he says.“And alternatively, if you see something, then I can try and take advantage of that.”
He emphasizes that the sharks don't hunt together, but says that as long as the group isn't too large—which would raise competition and conflict—socializing appears to benefit the sharks.And that may be one of the factors that led to sociality in the species.
David Shiffman, who studies sharks' ecology and conservation at Arizona State University, says he was surprised to learn the sharks stuck together for so long.“I mean, I don't have a lot of friends I do that with,”he jokes.
Sharks are amazing creatures, Shiffman says.In addition to knowing where to grab a bite by watching their friends, he says, some species of sharks can also learn to solve simple puzzles, just by watching other sharks solve them.Given their intelligence and social abilities, he says perhaps it's time to drop prejudices about sharks.“It turns out that they are a lot smarter than most people think, and they have some complex ability to process their environment and learn and change,” Shiffman says.

(宜宾高二调研)As is commonly known, Antarctica is an icy continent with extreme environment.However, a new study provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past.
The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment from under the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica.In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old.At that period, dinosaurs were the ruler animals of the land.
Johann Klages, a German geologist, was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journal Nature.He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor.Klages said an examination showed that the material didn't form in the ocean.
The researchers estimate that the area—about 900 kilometers from the South Pole had average yearly temperatures of about 12℃ to 13℃.The soil included fine dirt particles and hard clay, as well as substances linked to at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found.Although no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles and many insects in the environment.
The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth experienced in the past and is currently undergoing today.The soil in the sediment dates back to the planet's warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today.The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a fourmonth polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life.Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.

Whale watching is becoming an increasingly popular industry. You'll never forget your first whale. The impact it has upon you is enormous and life is never quite the same again. My first was a 40foot grey whale, off the coast of California, and I've been a whale 1 since then. Now, I have to go whale watching regularly just to be able to survive boring daily life.
I may be crazy, but I am certainly not alone. The world has no 2 of devoted whale watchers: Since its beginnings in the mid1950s, whale watching has grown rapidly, with more than 13 million people joining organized whale watching trips every year now.
The trouble is that a few hours of whale watching simply isn't 3 : You go out in the morning and, by lunchtime, you are planning your next trip; by teatime, you are planning the one after that. Before you even realize it is happening, all of your holidays have suddenly started to
4 whales; the only books you read are ones about whales; you wear whale Tshirts, and every time you meet your friends, you talk about whales.
So what is it about these largerthanlife animals that makes them so 5 ? Their sheer
6 is one possible explanation: Imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737; only a cold rock could remain 7 by an experience like that. The fact that we know so little about them is another 8 : Modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond, yet we are only just beginning to 9 these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet. They are great fun to watch, too: Humpback whales, 10 , routinely leap into the air and land back in the water with a tremendous splash.
Then there is the 11 —and deeply moving—level of trust that many whales display towards people. We have hunted them without 12 for untold years, with cruel, explosive harpoons(鱼叉), until they were on the edge of extinction(we still hunt them today, even though 13 ). Yet they seem to have 14 us for all those years of greed and cruelty and they trust us, when we don't really deserve to be 15 . It's a truly humbling experience when an enormous whale comes alongside your boat and greets you like an old friend.
