Facing the Unknown

Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the words and expressions in bold.
Facing the unknown
When something strange or unfamiliar happens, the flight instinct can kick in. Often, making a quick getaway is a sensible and understandable natural response, dating back to a time when our ancestors were running for their lives from dangers, such as wild animals, lightning and fire. So while you may be tempted to check out a strange object or to test the waters of a new situation, it can be safer to steer clear of the unfamiliar.
迅速逃走
避开,绕开
23
Facing the unknown
However, not everyone chooses to
follow this instinct. Instead of
retreating to their caves, some of
our ancestors chose to subdue their
fears and pursue the unknown - and
this curiosity led them to, for
instance, discover the use of fire.
撤退到
征服
24
Facing the unknown
In more recent times, Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen endured one of the most hostile environments on Earth when he set out into uncharted territory to reach the South Pole.
These reactions help humankind delve into the unknown and advance towards a more progressive and civilised society. Of course, exploration doesn’t have to mean blindly throwing ourselves into the unknown, and it’s never wrong to think twice before taking action. While there is no need for us to shrink from new situations,we should always look into things first and consider our options.
忍耐,忍受
打算,着手
钻研,探究
三思而后行
退避
调查
考虑我们的选择

New connections are formed between different parts

sleep is necessary to this function
Why do some people dream in colour and others don’t?
Interviewer: Welcome to Science Matters. My guest today is brain scientist Dr Janice Long. Dr Long, could you tell us something about your research?
Janice Long: Of course. One of my research areas is sleep, surrounding which there are still many mysteries. For example, we spend one third of our lives sleeping, but still don’t fully understand why we need sleep.
Interviewer: It’s because our brains need time to rest and do maintenance, right?
Janice Long: Certainly, that is believed by some researchers. But actually, more recent studies prove that our brains remain active during sleep.
Interviewer: Really? If sleep is not for rest, what other reasons could there be for it?

Asking for more information
Explaining
Janice Long: Another theory says we sleep due to the brain making lots of poisonous chemicals when we’re awake. It can only remove these chemicals when we’re asleep. But so far, there isn’t enough data to prove it. Personally, I think it might be one reason for sleep, but not the most important one.
Interviewer: I see. So what factor do you believe to be the main cause of sleep?
Janice Long: Well, most scientists, including myself, believe that sleep, especially dreams, can aid learning and help us make memories.
Interviewer: Make memories? Would you tell us more about this?
Janice Long: You see, while we’re awake, new connections are formed between different parts of the brain. Sleep gives our brains the opportunity to reflect on those connections and use them to form new memories in dreams.
Interviewer: That’s fascinating. So, I guess sleep isn’t quite as mysterious anymore?
Asking for more information
Janice Long: Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Though we’ve conducted a lot of research, we still can’t prove that sleep is necessary to this function. Hopefully we’ll figure it out eventually!
Interviewer: Good luck with that! And what other mysteries are there surrounding sleep?
Janice Long: Well, there are many unanswered questions: why do we “see” our dreams? Why do some people dream in colour and others don’t? The list goes on, and there is a lot of research still to be done... [fade out]
