Jessie Kendall-Bar,a Ph.D.at the University of Califomia,discovered elephant seals'special ability.She found in the open ocean,elephant seals sleep less than two hours per day.While on land, they sleep more than 10 hours a day."That's really special,"she says.Previous observations had shown that elephant scals in the open ocean surface for a couple of minutes at a time.So scientists knew that they must be sleeping underwater.But they knew very little about it. To find out more,Kendall-Bar developed a headcap to gather data about the animals'brain waves,heart rates,dive depths,and movements to determine when they were sleeping.She 燕语试奉果5要（头2面） 图官突东层学悠 discovered that seals do not sleep in two-hour bursts.Instead,they take some "catnaps () lasting less than 20 minutes each.Starting at the surface,adult seals take 10-minute dives at great depths,usually from 300 to 1,000 feet. At this point,the animals enter the first stage of sleep,or slow-wave sleep.Then,they fall into REM快速眼动)slecp,when their bodies tum upsic记e down.It seems REM sleep at great depths is risky because of the inability to escape at that moment."It is just scary to imagine an animal doing this underwater in that state,"says study co-author Terrie Williams But what's likely happening is that the scals are sleeping at great depths where their primary hunters-sharks and killer whales-hardly appear."The elephant seal is basically using its ability to dive really deep as a protective mechanism (),"says Kendall-Bar."It doesn't have to keep ooe eye open or stay awake.It's sleeping with its entire brain." 28.Wbs does the author start the text with the African elephant? A.To point out the sleep problems of animals. B.To introduce elephant seals'sleeping pattems. C.To praise elephant seals'great ability to survive. D.To stress the importance of getting enough sleep. 29.What has Kendall-Bar found about elephant seals? A.Their sleep habits vary by location. B.They spend a long time playing in the sea. C.They can enter a stage of deep sleep quickly. D.Their brain waves are slower than other large animals'. 30.What is mentioned about elephant seals'slecp m the sea' A.It's a common group activity. B.It can increase their heart rates. C.It's made up of a series of short sleep.D.It helps them develop their swimming ability. 31.Why do clephant seals choose REM sleep deep into the sea? A.To get sufficient food easily. B.To escape from loud noises. C.To maintain their body temperature.D.To svoid attack from natural enemies. D Across the world,studics have consistently found that girls perform significantly better than boys in reading.These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys,and have a more positive attitude towards reading. 兵通过察票6丽《兵2页) 图官宾东辰学校 There are several reasons that help explain these geoder-based differences.Parents read more with their daughters.This sends a strong and early message that books are for girls,as well as equipping guris wth a significant advantage.Recent research has found even though boys read less frequently than girls,girls still receive more encouragement to read from their pareats. So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially engineered gap for boys'reading? To improve boys'reading performance,parents and educators may look for ways to connect boys with reading.This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting the so-called boy-friendly books that boys supposedly prefer.These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works,as many people believe that boys prefer to read non-fiction. But this belief is not supported by recent research,which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction.Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their prefereace may actually be harmful.Fiction readers read more frequenty and demonstrate faster language learning and higher language ability. Besides encouraging more fiction reading.there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books.Firstly,don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or that their interests stay the same over time.To match boys with suitable reading material,have regular discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests. Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of schooling.Girls visit the library in thea free time more than ooys,and as students move to higher grades they often have less access to libraries during lessons.Access to books for boys is essential 【o promote reading. In addition,we should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely to choose to read an scree=s than girls.Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable pastime by being arole modeL Let your children ot students see you read for pleasure. 32.According to the author,what is the man cause of the differences in boys'and girls'reading ability?
