Over 120 bird species are considered lost as they haven't been seen in the wild for over ten
years.Now,the Search for Lost Birds,a global organization,is taking action.It offers people a
database and encourages them to share information on the lost birds they might find in
the wild.Since its establishment in 2021,the project has discovered 15 missing species
including these.
Long-billed Bush Warbler
Lost:1977|Found:2022
This songbird once existed in such large numbers in the river valleys of Kashmir that some

Black-naped Pheasant-pigeon
Lost:1896|Found:2022
For 126 years,this pheasant-like bird was considered all but lost on its homeland of

scientists,guided by local hunters,finally took a photo of the pigeon.
Dusky Tetraka
Lost1999|Found:2022/2023
In late 2022,researchers retumned to the same location in the rainforest of Madagascar,
where the dusky tetraka had last been seen in 1999.Going down in the rainforest,they finally
tracked the songbird hunting in the thick undergrowth along a river.
Urich's Tyrannulet
Lost:2005|Found:2021
This flycatcher,observed only three times since its discovery in Venezuela in 1899,seemed
to disappear completely after 2005.However,in 2021,a team led by the bird expert David

As a primary school kid,Armand almost grew up at the campsite with his family.Every
holiday,they'd spend a month and a half camping at Leentjiesklip in Langebaan.This is where
Armand developed his love for camping.With this camping seed planted so early,he was always
curious to explore other places.
Three years after graduating from school,Armand bought his first bakkie(箱式轻便货车).
a Toyota Cab.Besides camping.Armand also enjoys driving through scenic landscapes.He does

goes along.Buks,Armand's campsite commander,has a specially-fitted seat on the back seat of
the bakkie.When Armand arrives at his destination for the day,he grabs a beer and takes a walk
with Buks to explore the surroundings.The camping chairs follow,and then Armand takes in the
scenery."Camping in nature is the perfect escape because it provides peace while refreshing
your soul,"says Armand.

The National Health Service suggests that adults should eat no more than6 grams of salt
daily.For children,the amount varies by age.Specifically,kidsaged ntothreeshould have2

Overeating salt can cause high blood pressure.It causes the body to hold water,increasing
blood pressure and putting stress on organs.Moreover,it leads to water retention.However,too
little salt intake is harmful.A study found that adults who ate less than 2 grams of salt a day
were more likely to have heart disease than those who had around the recommended 4 to 5
grams.
Luckily,these days,most pre-packed food has nutrition labels on the back to tell us how
much salt is in the product.Besides,many foods also show the salt content on the front of the
packaging.The salt content can be different in branded foods such as pizza,bread and soups.
Thankfully,the Change4Life Food Scanner can aid you to find out how much salt is in a product
by using its app on your smartphone to scan the barcode(条形a码),You can also use the
traditional method of avoiding adding salt on the dinner table.Always taste a dish first.If
necessary,add salt carefully.

Male mosquitoes may be nearly as blood-thirsty as females under certain conditions,new
research suggests.Male mosquitoes,which are normally disinterested in blood,will take blood
meals when they are dehydrated ()the scientist Jason Rasgon of Penn State and his
colleagues report in a paper.The finding overtums the idea that only female mosquitoes bite,
drink blood and spread diseases.Males may not be totally harmless.
A student in Rasgon's lab noticed that male mosquitoes would sometimes feed on blood in
a tray covered by a thin artificial membrane()when researchers took away water.Rasgon
wanted to know if thirsty males would try to get blood from a person,so he stuck his hand in
cages containing male mosquitoes.Hydrated males mostly ignored him,but dehydrated males
would land and examine his skin.One even bit him but hardly got into the first layer of the skin.
"I was shocked,"says Rasgon.
Male mosquitoes'long.tubelike mouth parts aren't able to bite skin deeply enough to draw
blood.But a wound caused by Rasgon's cat allowed him to test whether males could get blood
another way.Sure enough,a dehydrated male mosquito drank blood from the open wound.
In another experiment,male mosquitoes that were genetically engineered to be unable to
sense wetness didn't take blood meals more often when lacking water.Those findings suggest
that males may go for blood to satisfy their thirst.
One earlier research paper showed that blood was harmful to male mosquitoes.Scientists
thought all male mosquitoes didn't have the ability to break down blood.But in Rasgon's
experiment,male mosquitoes fed only blood lived as long as those that didn't get blood,and
even a little bit longer.
32.What is discovered in Rasgon's research according to Paragraph 1?
A.That female mosquitoes may be harmful.
B.That only female mosquitoes drink blood.
C.That male mosquitoes may bite and drink blood.
D.That male mosquitoes are disinterested in blood.
33.How did Rasgon carry out his research?
A.By taking away water.
B.By experimenting on himself.
C.By placing his cat in the cage.
D.By creating a thin artificial membrane.
34.What didn't Rasgon expect in his research?
A.Male mosquitoes would be able to bite deeply into human skin.
B.Male mosquitoes would try to drink human blood when dehydrated.
C.Female mosquitoes would become interested in blood when hydrated.
D.Female mosquitoes would prefer water over blood meals when dehydrated.

B.Blood would make mosquitoes more harmful.
C.Male mosquitoes were able to break down blood.
D.Male mosquitoes fed blood would live as long or longer.

Low times matter.
We'd all love to be happy 100%of the time,but that's not realistic.37
"Let's
not forget that if we didn't experience low times,we'd never fully appreciate the highs,"says
clinical therapist Kate Morris-Bates,the founder of InsideOut Wellness.

The University of Califoria's study found that on rainy days,people remembered details
better than on sunny days when their memory was less accurate."People having negative
emotions (are more focused and thoughtful than those having positive ones,"explains
Kate."Research shows that we are less likely to make mistakes in our memories when we are in
a bad mood."
Negativity makes us focus.
If we are too optimistic,there's a chance we can leave ourselves open to danger.Kate says
that if a situation has a big risk,a pessimist(悲观主义者)is more likely to think about the
worst.39 Then we should think if we are using our optimism or pessimism well.
How can you handle your anger?Rather than refuse it,be open to the emotion.Use it to
understand what makes you angry and improve your response.One way of doing this is to keep

A Fish on the Baseball Field
My parents always hoped I'd play baseball.You would be amazed at how much they loved
baseball.They actually met in line to buy hot dogs at a baseball game.Also,my dad was the star
pitcher on his high school team,which happened to go all the way to the state
championship!·
You might think that with a family history like that,baseball would just be in my blood and
I'd be naturally talented at it.Unfortunately,you'd be wrong.When I was little,my dad got me a
plastic bat and ball and a mini catcher'smit(捧球手套),I could throw OK,but no matter how
much I tried,I could not catch or hit at all!
Last year,my friend Ollie was super excited to join a baseball team.Then my parents
decided baseball would be the best thing for me,too.Before I could say"Thanks,but no thanks",
they had signed me up!
Don't get me wrong.The experience wasn't terrible.Our coach was nice and the kids were
great.Even though I never became good at baseball,I did improve.But the very best part of the
whole experience-the silver-lining part-was something completely unexpected.
After every baseball practice,Ollie's grandmother would take us to the community pool on
the way home.Ollie was more interested in playing in the pool than swimming.I,on the other
hand,could not get enough of swimming.
Ollie usually ended up leaving the water to hang out with his grandmother while I stayed in
for a few more minutes with a girl named Isabel,a member of the swim team.We often
challenged each other to see who could hold her breath underwater longer or who could get to
the other side of the pool faster.
One day,Isabel said,"You are a natural little fish.Do you want to join our swim team?"
She looked at me with expectation.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右:2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答
I was hesitant(犹豫).
When I arrived home,I nervously told my parents about the swim team.
