When asked how whale songs should be heard,Payne said,"Attentively.You should listen silently.You should listen with nothing else to distract you.That's the way to listen." His own dream of learning"whaleish",as he called it,was only half-complete:he believed that such knowledge draws us closer to the animal kingdom.It troubled him that he would not be alive to help in the fight to protect animals on the brink of extinction."I find 移 myself at 88 years of age,"he wrote in an article for TIME magazine."very close to the end of a long life,coming to terms with the fact that I will not be around to find out what welem 邻 Payne was always curious.with a childlike delight in the natural world and his interests were wide-ranging.Astronomy,giant clams and cellular biology,to name a few.He was also a practical man who spent many of his waking hours working with machinery in a messy workshop.

Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health,according to a study published in the July 5,2023,online issue of Neurology."Our study found that gum 银)disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage(菱缩)in the hippocampus(海马 )which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer's disease,"said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi,Ph.D.of Hiroshima University in Hiroshima,Japan. The study involved 172 people without memory problems.Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study.They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study. This was measured again four years later.For each participant,researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease. Researchers found that the number of teeth and the amount of gum disease were linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain.For people with mild gum disease,having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage,which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth.After adjusting for age,researchers found that for people with mild gum disease,the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging.By contrast,for people with severe gum disease, the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging. "These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,"Yamaguchi said."The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial,and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones." Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people.The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan,so the results may not be applied to other locations. 28.What is Yamaguchi's study mainly about? A.Causes of gum disease. B.The symptoms of brain shrinkage. C.Ways to take good care of one's teeth. D.The connection between the teeth and the brain. 【高二英语第5页（共10页）】 29.How did researchers reach the conclusion? A.By making comparisons. B.By referring to previous studies. C.By conducting a survey among dentists. D.By proving experts'theory in experiments. 30.What do the research findings indicate? A.Gum disease is increasing among people. B.Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance. C.Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health. D.Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease. 31.What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi? A.Exploring treatments for gum disease. B.Seeking new methods to improve brain health. C.Involving people from other places in the research. D.Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer's disease. 0 Imagine finding yourself in a spoken word event (also known as performance poetry).
