Poetry is a kind of writing in which the sound and meaning of groups of words express ideas or emotion in addition to the experiences or strong feelings the writer 1 . Unlike most other forms of writing, poetry is often written in lines, rather than paragraphs. Poetry also sounds different from other forms of writing, often using rhythm and rhyme to create an interesting sound when read aloud. Poetry catches the attention of a reader because it 2 to both emotions and senses.
Sound is 3 the single most important aspect of any poem. The sound that any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each 4 word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this 5 pattern, or “beat” in the sounds. This is called meter.
Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece. As far back as 700 BCE, poets there recited their work at public 6 and religious ceremonies. The great epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer came from Greece. The Greeks eventually 7 Roman poets, such as Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid 30 BCE. In medieval times, poems such as Beowulf, The Divine Comedy by Dante. and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer were written. Religion and romance became the 8 of choice for many poets at that time.
Poetry 9 even more during the Renaissance period of history, an era of many great cultural achievements. This was the period during which Shakespeare, the most well-known poet, was making his mark! Needless to say, a trend had started. Poetry has continued to grow and change as a form of 10 expression in modern times.

Rhinoceros horns(犀牛角) are big business. Traditional Chinese medicine uses them to treat rheumatism and gout, even though they have no actual pharmaceutical properties beyond placebo(安慰剂). And craftsmen carve them into dagger handles. A kilogram can thus 1 as much as $60,000, so there is tremendous incentive for poachers to hunt the animals. Since almost all rhinoceros populations are endangered, several 2 , this is a serious problem.
Some conservationists therefore suggest that a way to reduce pressure on the animals might be to 3 the market with fakes. This, they hope, would reduce the value of real horns and 4 , the motivation to hunt rhinos.
That would require the fake s to be good. But Fritz Vollrath, a zoologist at Oxford University, thinks his skills as a forger(伪造者) are up to the challenge. As he writes in Scientific Reports, he and his colleagues from Fudan University, in Shanghai, have come up with a cheap and easy-to-make fake 5 similar to the real thing.
The main ingredient of Dr. Vollrath’s forged horns is horsehair. Despite their 6 appearances, horses and rhinos are reasonably closely related. Horses do not have horns, of course. But, technically, neither do rhinos. The “horns” of rhinoceros are composed of hairs 7 tightly together using a mixture of dead cells.
Examination under a microscope showed that hairs collected from horses’ tails had similar features to those found in the horns of rhinos except that horse hairs had a special layer 8 in those of the rhino, but the researchers were able to remove this with a solution of lithium bromide.(溴化锂溶液)
They bundled the treated horse hairs as tightly as they could in a matrix of a special glue, and then left the bundles in an oven to dry. The result was a rough material that, with some 9 , looked like rhino horn.
Whether to launch 10 fakes onto the rhinoceros-horn market would truly reduce prices and demand remains to be tested. But it might. It is an old trick in warfare to leave the enemy with forged, worthless money. Something similar may yet help save the rhino.

A.average B.adapt C. consisting D.persistent E. exactly F. stuck G. failing H. extremely I. referred J. initial K. range
From roughly the 16th to 19th centuries, much of the Earth was caught by a persistent freezing cold. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere (半球) experienced long stretches of temperatures so cold that people witnessed crops 1 and rivers freezing — like the Scheldt River. Thousands of people walking and playing across the frozen River Thames; Soldiers on horseback seeing ships 2 in the ice; Natives using snowshoes to outsmart the English army…These were some of the images that define the Little Ice Age — a period of several centuries last millennium in which parts of the Northern Hemisphere struggled with a(n) 3 cold. But what caused the Little Ice Age, how long did it last, how did people 4 to the freezing cold — and what lessons can we learn as we enter our own period of climatic change?
The Little Ice Age was not a true ice age — 5 cooling was probably only in the order of 0.5 degrees Celsius, or 1 degree Fahrenheit — or was it consistently cold. Dagomar Degroot, associate professor of environmental history at Georgetown University has 6 to the era as a series of “little ice ages.”
Although some researchers argue it may have begun earlier, NASA defines the Little Ice Age as beginning around 1550 and 7 of three cold peaks-around 1650,1770 and 1850.
Scientists are still working out 8 what caused the Little Ice Age too. Theories 9 from decreased solar activity to increased volcanic eruptions, to the decline of populations in North America, which allowed forests to replace agricultural land, in the process removing about seven billion tons of carbon from the atmosphere. A 2022 study argued that the 10 trigger was actually a rise of extremely warm water flowing north from the tropics in the late 1300s,which pushed Arctic ice into the North Atlantic.
Whatever the cause, the consequences of the Little Ice Age have a lasting effect on history, although to what extent is still controversial.

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2030, there could be 8.0 billion people on earth. Will there be 1 food for all these people, or will we have a food shortage? Some scientists think fish farming could 2 this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could cause serious environmental problems.
Fish farming is not a 3 thing. There were fish farms in China 3, 000 years ago. Today, about one-third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.
Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. Unfortunately, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. These meat-eating fish live on 4 food made from wild fish. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. The 5 of wild fish is already decreasing.
Eventually, many types of wild fish could go 6 . What will we do then? 7 of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy for humans. They say the fish contains dangerous chemicals. They also blame the issue on fish farming because it pollutes the water. Another criticism is that farm-raised fish can spread diseases to wild fish.
Some people say that the farming methods being used now hasn’t 8 enough fish anyway. Instead of putting fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms should be moved far out into the ocean. Several countries have already 9 with deep-ocean farms. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move across the ocean.
Like most things, there is both a good and a bad side to fish farming. Fish farming may help to 10 millions of people. At the same time, however, fish farming may damage the environment.

We are increasingly learning that our guts (肠胃) and our brains are intimately linked. But while there has been extensive research into how our diets can accelerate brain aging, less is known about the foods that can prevent cognitive 1 .
“The 2 field of Nutritional Cognitive Neuroscience uncovers specific foods and nutrients that promote brain health across the lifespan,” Aron Barbey, director of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told Newsweek. “Central to this effort is the discovery of nutrient profiles that can be used in nutritional interventions 3 at enhancing brain health.”
In a new study, published in the journal Nature Aging, Barbey, Jisheng Wu, and Christopher Zwilling used state-of-the-art technology to establish a set of specific nutrient profiles associated with better cognitive performance in adults over the age of 65, offering a 4 path towards designing nutritional interventions to promote healthy brain aging.
The study involved 100 cognitively healthy participants aged 65 to 75. The analysis 5 two types of brain aging among the participants: accelerated and slower than expected. And those with slower brain aging had a distinct nutritional profile. The researchers said that this nutritional profile is closely linked with nutrients found in the Mediterranean diet, which has 6 been associated with healthy brain aging.
The Mediterranean diet is 7 by a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and olive oil, with a moderate intake of cheese and fish and a limited intake of red and processed meat. This study provides a more 8 analysis of these associations.
“First, it’s one of the largest and most comprehensive studies to use blood-based biomarkers to investigate the 9 between diet and brain health,” he said. “Second, it goes beyond traditional cognitive tests by employing multimodal neuroimaging measures, and provides a more complete picture of brain health.”
However, Barbey noted that further research was needed to confirm these results. Observational studies like this one need to be followed by controlled trials conducted 10 to confirm the effectiveness of the identified nutrient profile in promoting brain health.

MUJI products came into being in the early 1980s as a result of a new mood, calling for a return to simplicity in daily life. Our aim was — and still is — to provide our customers all over the world with the fundamental things they need to live a busy, modern, urban lifestyle. These things must be made from good, 1 materials, with no unnecessary frills or fancies and must sell at a reasonable price. Our clothes must feel good on, our stationery must be practical and our household goods must be easy to use. This may seem elementary but it has always been a primary goal to ensure that MUJI customers should never pay for what they can’t use—i. e. added extras and fancy packaging. So, at MUJI you’ll find no 2 prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods.
At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different. Moreover, our products are made from materials which we 3 on a global scale, not because we think an exotic origin sounds more exciting than one on our doorstep but because we are committed to using the best available material, wherever it comes from. Using these superior materials, we design our products so that their simplicity brings out their inherent 4 , both of the material they’re made from and the products themselves. Finally, we present our products in the 5 of packaging — if any at all ——which neither masks nor makes them look any more than they are. As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more 6 , the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI.
The Company’s basic principle is to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. Through the careful selection of materials, 7 manufacturing processes and simplifying our packaging, we have continually introduced high quality MUJI brand products onto the market, at lower than usual prices. For the materials, the 8 selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.
When packaging products, MUJI seeks not to decorate them but rather to 9 their natural colors and shapes. For this reason, we use bulk packaging and place products in plain, uniform containers. Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in 10 with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste. Thus, all MUJI products appear on store shelves in simple packaging bearing only product-related information and a price tag.

Nine out of every ten humans are right-handed, an imbalance that researchers for decades have attempted to explain, without definitive success.
One of the ideas considered is the fighting hypothesis, which suggests that left-handedness provides an advantage in combat, albeit with an overall hit to physical health that keeps lefties rare in the population. Indeed, males — who historically have competed most strongly for resources and mates — are left-handed at slightly higher rates than females. Moreover, studies suggest that lefties tend to outperform right-handed people in fighting sports as well as in sports that require hand-eye 1 like tennis, baseball, and volleyball. This is likely because players are unaccustomed to competing against lefties as they are rarer.
However, a big problem with the fighting hypothesis is that its predicted health disadvantage hasn’t 2 in large studies. On the whole, left-handed people don’t seem to suffer from more health problems than right-handed people, nor do they live shorter lives.Left vs. Right
Noticing this 3 issue, a trio of scientists based out of Lund University in Sweden and Chester University in the United Kingdom proposed an update to the fighting hypothesis that comports better with current data. In an article published in the journal Symmetry, Matz Larsson, Astrid Schepman, and Paul Rodway 4 that right-handed humans actually had a greater fighting advantage over much of our species’ history, which is why they’ve become far more numerous.
“When left-handers became rarer, they gained a surprise advantage and the 5 of left- and right-handers in a population stabilized,” they further explained.
So why do right-handed humans have a fighting advantage? According to the researchers, it has to do with the position of the heart and the notion that humans did most of their fighting with handheld, pointy weapons like wooden spears for much of our species’ existence.
About three-quarters of the heart is situated in the left hemithorax, making the left side of the chest a(n) 6 target for a mortal blow. The researchers note that when humans battle with stabbing weapons, the hand 7 to hold the weapon determines which area of the chest is exposed to an opponent. A left-handed grip will rotate the left side of the chest, and thus most of the heart, toward an enemy, while a right-handed grip will rotate it away. Moreover, a free left arm could be used to deflect spear strikes in combat. 8 , this means that right-handed humans might be more protected from a deadly strike.
Based on this 9 version of the fighting hypothesis, a key prediction can be made. Since there is no health disadvantage from being left-handed and fighting with pointy weapons is no longer an evolutionary pressure, we should see the proportion of left-handed people stay the same in modern societies or broadly rise. Some studies suggest that left-handedness has increased in the 20th century, but it is uncertain if this is due to genetic or cultural reasons.
It should be noted that this new explanation for the preponderance of right-handed people is still very much a hypothesis, based on 10 from physiological facts and behavioral anecdotes, with further support from large, albeit observational, data sets. The modified fighting hypothesis is cogent, but as yet unproven.

4.考查动词。句意:在Symmetry期刊上发表的一篇文章中,Matz Larsson、Astrid Schepman和Paul Rodway认为,在人类历史的大部分时间里,惯用右手的人实际上拥有更大的战斗优势,这就是为什么他们的数量越来越多。分析句子可知,空处作主句的谓语,动词contend“认为,主张”符合题意,表示这三位科学家提出了一个新的主张,且结合句意可知,主句描述的是一般性的事实,时态宜用一般现在时,且主语是复数,contend应用原形。故填contend。
5.考查名词。句意:他们进一步解释说:“当左撇子变得越来越少时,他们获得了一个惊人的优势,左撇子和右撇子在人口中的比例稳定下来。”分析句子可知,空处被the限定,作句子的主语,名词proportions“比例,占比”符合题意,句中表示“左撇子和右撇子的比例”,且结合句意可知,此处指历史各个发展阶段的比例,proportions应保持复数形式。故填proportions。
6.考查形容词。句意:大约四分之三的心脏位于左半胸,这使得左胸易于成为致命一击的目标。分析句子可知,空处作修饰target的定语,形容词susceptible“易受影响的,易受伤害的”符合题意,和target搭配表示“易受……的目标”,句中表示“易于成为致命一击的目标”。故填susceptible。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员指出,当人类用刺状武器战斗时,用来握着武器的手决定了胸部的哪个区域暴露给对手。分析句子可知,空处是修饰the hand的后置定语,是非谓语动词,动词utilize“使用,利用”的过去分词形式utilized符合题意,和the hand逻辑上是被动关系,句中表示“用来握着武器的手”。故填utilized。
8.考查副词。句意:总的来说,这意味着右撇子可能更容易受到致命打击的保护。分析句子可知,空处是修饰整个句子的状语,形容词collective的副词形式collectively“总的来说”符合题意,表示基于上文的分析得出下文的总结,且空处位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Collectively。
9.考查形容词。句意:基于这种新颖的战斗假说,我们可以做出一个关键的预测。分析句子可知,空处是修饰version的定语,形容词novel“新颖的”符合题意,句中表示“这种新颖的战斗假说”。故填novel。
10.考查名词。句意:值得注意的是,这种对右撇子占优势的新解释在很大程度上仍然是一种假设,它基于对生理事实和行为轶事的推测,并得到了大量(尽管是观察性的)数据集的进一步支持。分析句子可知,空处作based on的宾语,动词speculate的名词形式speculation“推断,推测”符合题意,是抽象名词,句中表示“对生理事实和行为轶事的推测”。故填speculation。

Eating on a plane used to be common practice. But in the age of COVID-19, many passengers are 1 less inclined to remove their masks to take a mid-flight bite ― or to even have a snack at the airport.
As a result, it’s more common to eat at home before embarking on a flight. Those with longer travel journeys may even eat a large meal to carry them through the day. Still, not all preflight eats are created 2 .
Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, a registered dietitian based in New York City, said it’s worth considering your overall health as you prep for travel, including what you eat and drink. “It’s important to eat foods that will keep your immune system strong, keep you hydrated and are easily digested before flying,” Beckerman said.
So, which foods are best 3 on a day when you’re traveling by plane?
“It’s super common for dehydration to set in when flying, thanks to the lack of humidity and dry air in the 4 ,” Beckerman said. “That’s why it’s not the smartest to have a meal high in sodium (钠) the day before or morning of your flight.” Beckerman also advised going easy on the salt shaker, opting for snacks without added salt to avoid dehydration-related headaches.
Alcohol consumption tends to cause dehydration and has a different effect on the body than if you were to have a drink at ground level due to the low pressure in the cabin and the low oxygen 5 in blood. Therefore you are more likely to get drunk faster and urinate frequently.
A cup of coffee can leave you dehydrated in an already dry environment and coffee also has a mild diuretic effect, which can lead to more frequent trips to the bathroom.
Beyond the dehydrating effects, caffeine can also keep you awake during a flight, which is often an opportunity to catch up on sleep. The need for more frequent bathroom visits can also 6 with your ability to doze during your travels.
If you have a sensitive stomach, you might want to 7 clear of foods that can mess with your digestion. That includes highly 8 snacks like candy and fast food, which often contain ingredients that could 9 your digestive system.
A balanced meal that satisfies your 10 with water and hydrating fruits contains moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates and lean protein, and is low in added sugars and sodium is ideal.

The Rise of Retro Fashion
Do you care about what you wear? Some people are very fashion-conscious, carefully selecting the clothes they buy and how they dress. Fashionistas (时尚达人) always want to be seen in the latest designer gear. But that trend is changing as retro or vintage clothing is becoming a popular and often cheaper 1 .
Of course, “vintage” clothing is really second-hand clothing, worn before but given a second life. The fashion industry has rebranded this stuff to make it look 2 and possibly give it a higher price tag. Whereas we may have seen an old faded pair of jeans or a dress with a flower 3 sold at a jumble sale (旧货拍卖会), now we are 4 with boutique and pop-up shops dedicated to the stuff. And in the UK, one supermarket chain has started selling second-hand clothes in some of its stores. According to managing director Steve Lynam, the more people invest in the circular economy and shop vintage, the bigger 5 we will have on climate change.
Certainly, buying vintage puts 6 on extending the life of clothing. It cuts down on waste and helps to reduce the environmental damage caused by manufacturing new clothes. It’s also led to the rise of retro-fashion-items that your mum or dad wore decades ago that now look 7 cool again! It’s a big thing with younger people and has been helped by the rise of platforms like Depop and Vinted, which sell “worn” clothes online. As lanina Lucca, Senior Vice President at Depop explained: “The new 8 is looking to make choices that reduce their impact on the environment, with 77% of Gen Z saying that their biggest environmental 9 being that they want their choices to reduce waste.”
Another popular way of buying old clothes is in a vintage kilo sale. People pick what they want and then pay according to 10 rather than per item. Some items are upcycled — re-modelled or re-worked by adding embroidery, patches and other additions. However, these second-hand clothes are worn or re-designed, the sustainability of vintage fashion means it’s here to stay for some time to come.

Satellites Can Help Us Fight Climate Change
At the beginning of 2021, President Joe Biden exclaimed that “science is back” as we continued our efforts to 1 the COVID emergency. That phrase continues to ring true across the federal government. Science and its applications are being used at every agency to deal with public health 2 , build new transportation infrastructure, inform policy decisions and tackle the climate crisis.
Recently the Interior Department’s U.S. Geological Survey assumed 3 of Landsat 9 from NASA, which built and launched it in 2021.This satellite is designed to 4 Earth’s land, water and other natural resources. Landsat missions support environmental sustainability and climate resilience. The Landsat program, which launched in July 1972, has helped us understand our planet and the changes that are occurring on it. That partnership has propelled research and observation forward through the launch of 5 Landsat satellites, each replacing its predecessors and working in tandem with new capabilities and strengths.
I attended the historic launch of Landsat 9 in California. It was nothing 6 of amazing. I toured the mission control center and met a young scientist from the Navajo Nation living far away from home. She uses Landsat 7 to see her home from many miles away, and with such data, she enables her community to manage water resources in the face of a changing climate. This is the power and beauty of science at work.
All around the globe, scientists are using Landsat and other imagery to interpret what is happening on Earth today and to compare it with the 50 years’ 8 of data the Landsat program has collected.
This science-based program and those like it across federal agencies are powerful tools in our efforts to responsibly manage our resources. Their prioritization helps to demonstrate the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to lead with science. So, too, the resources provided through the president’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act will be key to the development of longer-term sustainability measures as we 9 to climate change, including building more resilient communities and protecting our natural environment.
Landsat NEXT is the upcoming mission we will develop with NASA to power better science and decision-making for the next 50 years. Science is indeed 10 us on a path to a brighter future.

Cosmetic surgery has become increasingly popular in modern society, offering individuals the opportunity to enhance their physical appearance through various procedures. However, people’s attitudes towards cosmetic surgery are 1 and complex, reflecting a range of beliefs and values.
One common attitude towards cosmetic surgery is the acceptance and 2 of it. With advancements in medical technology and the rise of social media influencers 3 beauty standards, more people view cosmetic surgery as a valid means of self-improvement. For some, undergoing plastic surgery is similar to getting a haircut or going to the gym — a personal choice to enhance one’s confidence and self-esteem.
On the other hand, there is a segment of society that holds a more 4 view of cosmetic surgery. Some individuals believe that altering one’s appearance through surgery perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards and 5 physical appearance. They argue that true beauty comes from within and that society should focus on advocating self-acceptance and body positivity.
Additionally, there is a subset of people who view cosmetic surgery as a luxury 6 only to the wealthy and privileged. Some argue that 7 should be allocated towards more essential healthcare needs rather than cosmetic enhancements.
Furthermore, cultural and religious beliefs play a significant role in 8 attitudes towards cosmetic surgery. In some cultures, altering one’s appearance through surgery may be seen as taboo or challenge to traditional values.
Overall, people’s attitudes towards cosmetic surgery are influenced by a variety of factors including societal norms, personal values, cultural beliefs, and economic considerations. While some 9 cosmetic surgery as a tool for self-improvement and enhancing confidence, others view it with skepticism, 10 its impact on beauty standards and societal priorities. Ultimately, the choice to undergo cosmetic surgery is a personal decision that reflects individual attitudes and values towards beauty and self-image in today’s society.

The summer heat has reached its breaking point for a group of high school students in Wales, as the boys decided to protest their school’s strict uniform policy which 1 wearing shorts no matter what weather, by showing up to school in skirts.
After they 2 to the bathroom to change into all-black skirts, seventeen White church High School students emerged wearing skirts on campus, and they 3 in the campaign to resist the customary uniform trousers. The boys’ 4 was less an act of politically urged civil disobedience than it was a way to beat the heat.
While none of the boys were punished for their protesting efforts, the movement was short-lived. After proudly 5 into the headmaster’s office shouting “we want to wear shorts”, they were quickly ordered to change back into trousers. “We had a 6 with some boys and they have worn trousers,” said Principal Jones Williams.
Protester Tyrone Evelyn, 15, told Wales Online that the group would continue 7 for a change. “It’s just appropriate for the weather. Over the last few days I’ve had a few headaches and skin irritations. Girls can wear skirts, so I don’t see why we can’t wear shorts. It’s a reasonable protest.”

Poetry is a kind of writing in which the sound and meaning of groups of words express ideas or emotion in addition to the experiences or strong feelings the writer 1 . Unlike most other forms of writing, poetry is often written in lines, rather than paragraphs. Poetry also sounds different from other forms of writing, often using rhythm and rhyme to create an interesting sound when read aloud. Poetry catches the attention of a reader because it 2 to both emotions and senses.
Sound is 3 the single most important aspect of any poem. The sound that any given word makes, or the sounds that come from specific groups of words used together, are what make poetry so unique as a form of writing. A typical story or report does not focus on the sounds that each 4 word makes when read. But poems generally contain few words, so it is important that each word plays a role in making an impact on the reader. Rhythm is the flow of sounds created by successive words in a poem. When you read a poem you can often hear this 5 pattern, or “beat” in the sounds. This is called meter.
Some of the oldest and best-known poetry in the world came from Ancient Greece. As far back as 700 BCE, poets there recited their work at public 6 and religious ceremonies. The great epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer came from Greece. The Greeks eventually 7 Roman poets, such as Virgil, who wrote the Aeneid 30 BCE. In medieval times, poems such as Beowulf, The Divine Comedy by Dante. and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer were written. Religion and romance became the 8 of choice for many poets at that time.
Poetry 9 even more during the Renaissance period of history, an era of many great cultural achievements. This was the period during which Shakespeare, the most well-known poet, was making his mark! Needless to say, a trend had started. Poetry has continued to grow and change as a form of 10 expression in modern times.

Rhinoceros horns(犀牛角) are big business. Traditional Chinese medicine uses them to treat rheumatism and gout, even though they have no actual pharmaceutical properties beyond placebo(安慰剂). And craftsmen carve them into dagger handles. A kilogram can thus 1 as much as $60,000, so there is tremendous incentive for poachers to hunt the animals. Since almost all rhinoceros populations are endangered, several 2 , this is a serious problem.
Some conservationists therefore suggest that a way to reduce pressure on the animals might be to 3 the market with fakes. This, they hope, would reduce the value of real horns and 4 , the motivation to hunt rhinos.
That would require the fake s to be good. But Fritz Vollrath, a zoologist at Oxford University, thinks his skills as a forger(伪造者) are up to the challenge. As he writes in Scientific Reports, he and his colleagues from Fudan University, in Shanghai, have come up with a cheap and easy-to-make fake 5 similar to the real thing.
The main ingredient of Dr. Vollrath’s forged horns is horsehair. Despite their 6 appearances, horses and rhinos are reasonably closely related. Horses do not have horns, of course. But, technically, neither do rhinos. The “horns” of rhinoceros are composed of hairs 7 tightly together using a mixture of dead cells.
Examination under a microscope showed that hairs collected from horses’ tails had similar features to those found in the horns of rhinos except that horse hairs had a special layer 8 in those of the rhino, but the researchers were able to remove this with a solution of lithium bromide.(溴化锂溶液)
They bundled the treated horse hairs as tightly as they could in a matrix of a special glue, and then left the bundles in an oven to dry. The result was a rough material that, with some 9 , looked like rhino horn.
Whether to launch 10 fakes onto the rhinoceros-horn market would truly reduce prices and demand remains to be tested. But it might. It is an old trick in warfare to leave the enemy with forged, worthless money. Something similar may yet help save the rhino.

From roughly the 16th to 19th centuries, much of the Earth was caught by a persistent freezing cold. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere (半球) experienced long stretches of temperatures so cold that people witnessed crops 1 and rivers freezing — like the Scheldt River. Thousands of people walking and playing across the frozen River Thames; Soldiers on horseback seeing ships 2 in the ice; Natives using snowshoes to outsmart the English army…These were some of the images that define the Little Ice Age — a period of several centuries last millennium in which parts of the Northern Hemisphere struggled with a(n) 3 cold. But what caused the Little Ice Age, how long did it last, how did people 4 to the freezing cold — and what lessons can we learn as we enter our own period of climatic change?
The Little Ice Age was not a true ice age — 5 cooling was probably only in the order of 0.5 degrees Celsius, or 1 degree Fahrenheit — or was it consistently cold. Dagomar Degroot, associate professor of environmental history at Georgetown University has 6 to the era as a series of “little ice ages.”
Although some researchers argue it may have begun earlier, NASA defines the Little Ice Age as beginning around 1550 and 7 of three cold peaks-around 1650,1770 and 1850.
Scientists are still working out 8 what caused the Little Ice Age too. Theories 9 from decreased solar activity to increased volcanic eruptions, to the decline of populations in North America, which allowed forests to replace agricultural land, in the process removing about seven billion tons of carbon from the atmosphere. A 2022 study argued that the 10 trigger was actually a rise of extremely warm water flowing north from the tropics in the late 1300s,which pushed Arctic ice into the North Atlantic.
Whatever the cause, the consequences of the Little Ice Age have a lasting effect on history, although to what extent is still controversial.

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2030, there could be 8.0 billion people on earth. Will there be 1 food for all these people, or will we have a food shortage? Some scientists think fish farming could 2 this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could cause serious environmental problems.
Fish farming is not a 3 thing. There were fish farms in China 3, 000 years ago. Today, about one-third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.
Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. Unfortunately, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. These meat-eating fish live on 4 food made from wild fish. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. The 5 of wild fish is already decreasing.
Eventually, many types of wild fish could go 6 . What will we do then? 7 of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy for humans. They say the fish contains dangerous chemicals. They also blame the issue on fish farming because it pollutes the water. Another criticism is that farm-raised fish can spread diseases to wild fish.
Some people say that the farming methods being used now hasn’t 8 enough fish anyway. Instead of putting fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms should be moved far out into the ocean. Several countries have already 9 with deep-ocean farms. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move across the ocean.
Like most things, there is both a good and a bad side to fish farming. Fish farming may help to 10 millions of people. At the same time, however, fish farming may damage the environment.

We are increasingly learning that our guts (肠胃) and our brains are intimately linked. But while there has been extensive research into how our diets can accelerate brain aging, less is known about the foods that can prevent cognitive 1 .
“The 2 field of Nutritional Cognitive Neuroscience uncovers specific foods and nutrients that promote brain health across the lifespan,” Aron Barbey, director of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, told Newsweek. “Central to this effort is the discovery of nutrient profiles that can be used in nutritional interventions 3 at enhancing brain health.”
In a new study, published in the journal Nature Aging, Barbey, Jisheng Wu, and Christopher Zwilling used state-of-the-art technology to establish a set of specific nutrient profiles associated with better cognitive performance in adults over the age of 65, offering a 4 path towards designing nutritional interventions to promote healthy brain aging.
The study involved 100 cognitively healthy participants aged 65 to 75. The analysis 5 two types of brain aging among the participants: accelerated and slower than expected. And those with slower brain aging had a distinct nutritional profile. The researchers said that this nutritional profile is closely linked with nutrients found in the Mediterranean diet, which has 6 been associated with healthy brain aging.
The Mediterranean diet is 7 by a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and olive oil, with a moderate intake of cheese and fish and a limited intake of red and processed meat. This study provides a more 8 analysis of these associations.
“First, it’s one of the largest and most comprehensive studies to use blood-based biomarkers to investigate the 9 between diet and brain health,” he said. “Second, it goes beyond traditional cognitive tests by employing multimodal neuroimaging measures, and provides a more complete picture of brain health.”
However, Barbey noted that further research was needed to confirm these results. Observational studies like this one need to be followed by controlled trials conducted 10 to confirm the effectiveness of the identified nutrient profile in promoting brain health.

MUJI products came into being in the early 1980s as a result of a new mood, calling for a return to simplicity in daily life. Our aim was — and still is — to provide our customers all over the world with the fundamental things they need to live a busy, modern, urban lifestyle. These things must be made from good, 1 materials, with no unnecessary frills or fancies and must sell at a reasonable price. Our clothes must feel good on, our stationery must be practical and our household goods must be easy to use. This may seem elementary but it has always been a primary goal to ensure that MUJI customers should never pay for what they can’t use—i. e. added extras and fancy packaging. So, at MUJI you’ll find no 2 prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods.
At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different. Moreover, our products are made from materials which we 3 on a global scale, not because we think an exotic origin sounds more exciting than one on our doorstep but because we are committed to using the best available material, wherever it comes from. Using these superior materials, we design our products so that their simplicity brings out their inherent 4 , both of the material they’re made from and the products themselves. Finally, we present our products in the 5 of packaging — if any at all ——which neither masks nor makes them look any more than they are. As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more 6 , the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI.
The Company’s basic principle is to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. Through the careful selection of materials, 7 manufacturing processes and simplifying our packaging, we have continually introduced high quality MUJI brand products onto the market, at lower than usual prices. For the materials, the 8 selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.
When packaging products, MUJI seeks not to decorate them but rather to 9 their natural colors and shapes. For this reason, we use bulk packaging and place products in plain, uniform containers. Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in 10 with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste. Thus, all MUJI products appear on store shelves in simple packaging bearing only product-related information and a price tag.

Nine out of every ten humans are right-handed, an imbalance that researchers for decades have attempted to explain, without definitive success.
One of the ideas considered is the fighting hypothesis, which suggests that left-handedness provides an advantage in combat, albeit with an overall hit to physical health that keeps lefties rare in the population. Indeed, males — who historically have competed most strongly for resources and mates — are left-handed at slightly higher rates than females. Moreover, studies suggest that lefties tend to outperform right-handed people in fighting sports as well as in sports that require hand-eye 1 like tennis, baseball, and volleyball. This is likely because players are unaccustomed to competing against lefties as they are rarer.
However, a big problem with the fighting hypothesis is that its predicted health disadvantage hasn’t 2 in large studies. On the whole, left-handed people don’t seem to suffer from more health problems than right-handed people, nor do they live shorter lives.Left vs. Right
Noticing this 3 issue, a trio of scientists based out of Lund University in Sweden and Chester University in the United Kingdom proposed an update to the fighting hypothesis that comports better with current data. In an article published in the journal Symmetry, Matz Larsson, Astrid Schepman, and Paul Rodway 4 that right-handed humans actually had a greater fighting advantage over much of our species’ history, which is why they’ve become far more numerous.
“When left-handers became rarer, they gained a surprise advantage and the 5 of left- and right-handers in a population stabilized,” they further explained.
So why do right-handed humans have a fighting advantage? According to the researchers, it has to do with the position of the heart and the notion that humans did most of their fighting with handheld, pointy weapons like wooden spears for much of our species’ existence.
About three-quarters of the heart is situated in the left hemithorax, making the left side of the chest a(n) 6 target for a mortal blow. The researchers note that when humans battle with stabbing weapons, the hand 7 to hold the weapon determines which area of the chest is exposed to an opponent. A left-handed grip will rotate the left side of the chest, and thus most of the heart, toward an enemy, while a right-handed grip will rotate it away. Moreover, a free left arm could be used to deflect spear strikes in combat. 8 , this means that right-handed humans might be more protected from a deadly strike.
Based on this 9 version of the fighting hypothesis, a key prediction can be made. Since there is no health disadvantage from being left-handed and fighting with pointy weapons is no longer an evolutionary pressure, we should see the proportion of left-handed people stay the same in modern societies or broadly rise. Some studies suggest that left-handedness has increased in the 20th century, but it is uncertain if this is due to genetic or cultural reasons.
It should be noted that this new explanation for the preponderance of right-handed people is still very much a hypothesis, based on 10 from physiological facts and behavioral anecdotes, with further support from large, albeit observational, data sets. The modified fighting hypothesis is cogent, but as yet unproven.

Eating on a plane used to be common practice. But in the age of COVID-19, many passengers are 1 less inclined to remove their masks to take a mid-flight bite ― or to even have a snack at the airport.
As a result, it’s more common to eat at home before embarking on a flight. Those with longer travel journeys may even eat a large meal to carry them through the day. Still, not all preflight eats are created 2 .
Tracy Lockwood Beckerman, a registered dietitian based in New York City, said it’s worth considering your overall health as you prep for travel, including what you eat and drink. “It’s important to eat foods that will keep your immune system strong, keep you hydrated and are easily digested before flying,” Beckerman said.
So, which foods are best 3 on a day when you’re traveling by plane?
“It’s super common for dehydration to set in when flying, thanks to the lack of humidity and dry air in the 4 ,” Beckerman said. “That’s why it’s not the smartest to have a meal high in sodium (钠) the day before or morning of your flight.” Beckerman also advised going easy on the salt shaker, opting for snacks without added salt to avoid dehydration-related headaches.
Alcohol consumption tends to cause dehydration and has a different effect on the body than if you were to have a drink at ground level due to the low pressure in the cabin and the low oxygen 5 in blood. Therefore you are more likely to get drunk faster and urinate frequently.
A cup of coffee can leave you dehydrated in an already dry environment and coffee also has a mild diuretic effect, which can lead to more frequent trips to the bathroom.
Beyond the dehydrating effects, caffeine can also keep you awake during a flight, which is often an opportunity to catch up on sleep. The need for more frequent bathroom visits can also 6 with your ability to doze during your travels.
If you have a sensitive stomach, you might want to 7 clear of foods that can mess with your digestion. That includes highly 8 snacks like candy and fast food, which often contain ingredients that could 9 your digestive system.
A balanced meal that satisfies your 10 with water and hydrating fruits contains moderate amounts of complex carbohydrates and lean protein, and is low in added sugars and sodium is ideal.

The Rise of Retro Fashion
Do you care about what you wear? Some people are very fashion-conscious, carefully selecting the clothes they buy and how they dress. Fashionistas (时尚达人) always want to be seen in the latest designer gear. But that trend is changing as retro or vintage clothing is becoming a popular and often cheaper 1 .
Of course, “vintage” clothing is really second-hand clothing, worn before but given a second life. The fashion industry has rebranded this stuff to make it look 2 and possibly give it a higher price tag. Whereas we may have seen an old faded pair of jeans or a dress with a flower 3 sold at a jumble sale (旧货拍卖会), now we are 4 with boutique and pop-up shops dedicated to the stuff. And in the UK, one supermarket chain has started selling second-hand clothes in some of its stores. According to managing director Steve Lynam, the more people invest in the circular economy and shop vintage, the bigger 5 we will have on climate change.
Certainly, buying vintage puts 6 on extending the life of clothing. It cuts down on waste and helps to reduce the environmental damage caused by manufacturing new clothes. It’s also led to the rise of retro-fashion-items that your mum or dad wore decades ago that now look 7 cool again! It’s a big thing with younger people and has been helped by the rise of platforms like Depop and Vinted, which sell “worn” clothes online. As lanina Lucca, Senior Vice President at Depop explained: “The new 8 is looking to make choices that reduce their impact on the environment, with 77% of Gen Z saying that their biggest environmental 9 being that they want their choices to reduce waste.”
Another popular way of buying old clothes is in a vintage kilo sale. People pick what they want and then pay according to 10 rather than per item. Some items are upcycled — re-modelled or re-worked by adding embroidery, patches and other additions. However, these second-hand clothes are worn or re-designed, the sustainability of vintage fashion means it’s here to stay for some time to come.

Satellites Can Help Us Fight Climate Change
At the beginning of 2021, President Joe Biden exclaimed that “science is back” as we continued our efforts to 1 the COVID emergency. That phrase continues to ring true across the federal government. Science and its applications are being used at every agency to deal with public health 2 , build new transportation infrastructure, inform policy decisions and tackle the climate crisis.
Recently the Interior Department’s U.S. Geological Survey assumed 3 of Landsat 9 from NASA, which built and launched it in 2021.This satellite is designed to 4 Earth’s land, water and other natural resources. Landsat missions support environmental sustainability and climate resilience. The Landsat program, which launched in July 1972, has helped us understand our planet and the changes that are occurring on it. That partnership has propelled research and observation forward through the launch of 5 Landsat satellites, each replacing its predecessors and working in tandem with new capabilities and strengths.
I attended the historic launch of Landsat 9 in California. It was nothing 6 of amazing. I toured the mission control center and met a young scientist from the Navajo Nation living far away from home. She uses Landsat 7 to see her home from many miles away, and with such data, she enables her community to manage water resources in the face of a changing climate. This is the power and beauty of science at work.
All around the globe, scientists are using Landsat and other imagery to interpret what is happening on Earth today and to compare it with the 50 years’ 8 of data the Landsat program has collected.
This science-based program and those like it across federal agencies are powerful tools in our efforts to responsibly manage our resources. Their prioritization helps to demonstrate the Biden-Harris administration’s commitment to lead with science. So, too, the resources provided through the president’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act will be key to the development of longer-term sustainability measures as we 9 to climate change, including building more resilient communities and protecting our natural environment.
Landsat NEXT is the upcoming mission we will develop with NASA to power better science and decision-making for the next 50 years. Science is indeed 10 us on a path to a brighter future.
