Sund travels very far underwater, Francis Juanes, an eclgist at the University f Victria in Canada, tld the Assciated Press. Fr fish, he explained, sund is prbably a better way t sense their envirnment than light. Sunds help fish and ther marine animals survive and cmmunicate with each ther. Sunds als help sme cean animals find fd and avid their hunters.
Hwever, increased nise frm humans is making it harder fr these animals t hear each ther. The nise is cming frm shipping traffic, underwater explratin, and ther nisy human activities. Fr many marine animals, their attempts t cmmunicate are being masked (掩蓋) by sunds that humans have prduced. Experts explain that masking happens when ne r mre nises in the water blck sund imprtant t a marine animal’s living. The verall number f marine animals has gne dwn by abut half since 1970. Sme studies shw the stress frm human nise might als affect the immune system as well as reprductive health r behavir. “Imagine having t raise yur kids in a place that’s nisy all the time,” said Je Rman, a marine eclgist at the University f Vermnt.
When peple think f prblems facing the cean, we ften think f climate change, plastics, and verfishing. But nise pllutin is anther thing we need t be mnitring. “Sund pllutin may be easier t deal with than ther cean prblems,” Scientist Juanes says. “If we make smething fr the cean, think abut hw t make it quieter.”

2. With abut 1,000-meter-high steep cliffs (陡峭的懸崖) arund, there Xiazhuang, Chngqing had nly ne pathway ut f the village, and it tk villagers three days t walk t the main twn. Peple there used t risk their lives ging ut f the muntain village. In the 40 years t 1997, 23 peple had died frm falling ff the cliff while cutting firewd r travelling t the cunty seat, and 75 peple had been injured r disabled while ding the same activities. Then, village head Ma Xianglin held a meeting in 1997 and suggested building a rad snaking alng the muntains, but almst n villager agreed because they had n mney, n machines and n cnfidence t take n the tugh prject.
Later that year, arund 100 peple vlunteered t d the wrk after Ma’s effrts. Wrkers hung frm rpes and used hammers, drills and even explsives t create the rad. Falling rcks and ther dangers led t the deaths f six villagers. When they slept in caves (洞穴) at night, they tied a rpe arund their bdies with the ther end tied t the rt f an ld tree t make sure they did nt fall ff the cliff.
“Muntains had islated us frm the utside fr generatins. We had t d smething t ensure the next generatin culd g ut f the muntains fr a gd life,” Ma said. When the 8-kilmeter rad was cmpleted in 2004, it enabled many villagers t travel ut and find wrk. Incmes increased as a result. Ma will retire in five years, planning t widen the current rad and fcus n ecturism. “The spirit f the Xiazhuang peple can’t be lst and has t be passed dwn frm generatin t generatin,” he said.

3.Teenagers are risk-takers. Thse things may nt be understd by the adults arund them. Are they driven by pr judgment r immature (不成熟的)brains?
In their bk Wildhd, the bestselling authrs Barbara Nattersn-Hrwitz and Kathryn Bwers, present findings frm their five-year study n wild animal adlescence(青春期). The tw perfrmed a cmplete survey f age-related death in wild animals and fund smething truly surprising—yung flks are brn t take risks, and with gd reasns.
Life n Earth fr adlescent and yung adult animals is just as dangerus. In the wild yung animals crash, drwn and starve mre ften than their adult animals. And they are mre likely t be targeted and killed by predatrs (捕食者).Old enugh t be away frm hme? But new t the ways f the wrld? This time f life is risky fr human adlescents as well. Wildlife bilgists describe these unprepared creatures as predatr naives(幼稚).
Facing death danger while still maturing is a fact f life fr adlescents acrss species. Adlescents must have predatr awareness if they are t survive. Said anther way: T becme safe, yu must take risks.
Adult bats typically flee predatrs such as barn wls. But adlescent bats have been seen ding the ppsite —flying tward them. This behavir can als be seen in ther wild animals. Bilgists call it “predatr inspectin(檢查)”. Predatr inspectin prvides yung animals imprtant infrmatin abut their deadly predatrs. Familiarity with predatry strategies helps adlescents survive and even avid future attacks. Predatr inspectin is ne f the ways t help predatr naives t becme experienced predatrs.
Studying wild animal adlescence ffers a new understanding f why teenagers act the way they d. Parents shuld balance the urge t prtect with the need t let their teenagers test their wings. The research suggests that adlescents need sme expsure t the dangers they will smeday face n their wn —and withut knwing that, parents’ ver prtectin maybe the riskiest behavir f all.

9. Ever wndered hw many Tyrannsaurus rex (霸王龍) ever walked arund the Earth? The answer is 2.5 billin ver the tw millin r s years in which the species existed, accrding t a calculatin published tday in Science. The figure has allwed researchers t estimate just hw rare it is fr animals t fssilize.
Researchers led by Charles Marshall used a methd emplyed by eclgists studying cntemprary creatures t estimate the ppulatin f T. rex during the late Cretaceus perid.
The team used their estimates f the ttal range f T. rex acrss mdern Nrth America, cmbined with their estimates f the dinsaur’s weight, t calculate that, at ne time, arund 20,000 T. rex wuld have been alive n the planet. That translates t arund 3,800 T. rex in an area the size f Califrnia, r just 2 T. rex mving arund Washingtn DC. Calculating that T. rex survived fr abut 127,000 generatins befre disappearing, the researchers came up with a figure f 2.5 billin individuals ver the species’ entire existence. Only 32 adult T. rex have been discvered as fssils, s the fssil recrd accunts fr just 1 in abut every 80 millin T. rex. This means that the chances f being fssilized were small.
These numbers suggest that fssils in general are rare, and that many species that were less widespread than T. rex were prbably never preserved, says Marshall, wh adds, “The fssil recrd is ur nly direct knwledge f these past histries f ur planet.”
Thmas Hltz, a researcher, says that “we always knew that the chance f any individual becming a fssil was rare, but we lacked the calculatin t figure ut hw rare”. He’d like t see cmparable studies made n disappearing species with mre abundant fssils, which might allw us t better understand histric ecsystems.

By ding thse expanding my wrld r demanding new skills, I feel myself grwing, nt shrinking. Fr my sixtieth, I gt it int my head that I shuld d an Olympic distance triathln (鐵人三項賽), which turned ut t be a real milestne. After ver fur hurs n the curse, I was last amng the 95 cmpetitrs. But I was the ldest wman cmpeting, s that made me first in my age categry. Since then, I’ve lked n the special days as a call fr trying smething different. Fr my sixty-fifth birthday, I went t run a half marathn. And I finished seven activities that tk me ut f my “cmfrt zne” at seventy.
I’m frtunate t have celebrated s many birthdays in gd health and spirits, s whether I succeed in running t Vancuver r nt, I’m grateful fr the pprtunity.
