Lindsey Stallwrth, a high schl student frm Alabama, is n her way t a prmising career in palentlgy (古生物学) due t an unexpected discvery n family prperty. Fr years, she had been cllecting fssils n their land in Mnre Cunty, unaware f significant scientific value. Hwever, her teacher at the Alabama Schl f Math and Science, Dr. Andrew Gentry, a palentlgist himself, tk an interest when she shwed him her cllectin.
“Upn examining the fssil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified ne and became eager t learn abut its rigin,” said Andrew.
Lindsey guided her teacher thrugh the rural area where she had unearthed varius relics including shark teeth. Befre lng, they encuntered an especially significant find n the grunds: a large bne frm a 34-millin-year-ld whale skeletn! This led the pair t launch the huge prject f uncvering the rest f the bnes. After tw mnths f hard wrk, they’ve managed t find the animal’s skull (颅骨).
“Assuming the entire skeletn is present, it may require several years fr us t have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.
Lindsey secured a research schlarship t persist in her fssil-digging expeditins alngside her instructr. Her enthusiasm fr the prject was at an all-time high, thugh she had never imagined a childhd pastime wuld lead her dwn this rad. “We wuld g ut and pick up shark teeth and fssil shells, but we never knew anyne that culd tell us anything abut them,” she recalled. “We just thught they were cl.”
“The Research Fellws Prgram allws Lindsey t gain real-wrld experience in scientific research and even present that research at prfessinal cnferences,” Andrew said. “It’s a nce-in-a-lifetime pprtunity fr a high schl student t stand ut when applying t cllege and maybe even discver a new career path.”
4. Why was Andrew fascinated by Lindsey’s finds?
A. He had a persnal interest in gegraphy.
B. He recgnized the significance f ne fssil.
C. He was hping t be financially independent.
D. He wanted t start a palentlgy club at schl.
5. What inspired Andrew and Lindsey t start a fssil uncvering prject?
A. A primitive whale’s bne.B. Sme fssil shells.
C. An animal’s skull.D. Sme shark teeth.
6. Which f the fllwing best describes Andrew and Lindsey’s prject?
A. Risky but interesting.B. Dangerus but rewarding.
C. Demanding but mtivating.D. Bring but grundbreaking.
7. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?

Tday, petry and science are ften cnsidered t be cmpletely separate career paths. Hwever, that wasn’t always the case. The mathematician Ada Lvelace and the physicist James Clerk Maxwell were bth accmplished pets. Similarly, the pet Jhn Keats was als a licensed surgen. The cmbinatin f these disciplines fell ut f favr in the 1800s. Recently, hwever, there has been a reappearance f interest amng scientists in expressing their research thrugh petry, such as lyrics and haiku, as alternative ways t inspire thers with their findings.
“Petry is a great tl fr questining the wrld,” says Sam Illingwrth, a pet and a gescientist wh wrks at the University f Western Australia. Thrugh wrkshps and a new science-petry jurnal, called Cnsilience, Illingwrth is helping scientists t translate their latest results int pems that can attract appreciatin frm thse utside f their immediate scientific field.
Stephany Mazn, a scientist frm the University f Helsinki, participated in ne f Illingwrth’s wrkshps where she and fellw scientists were tasked with writing haikus that highlighted water, a cmmn theme in their research. “It was a lt f fun, and surprisingly easy t write the pem,” Mazn says. She plans t cntinue writing. “We d harm urselves t think that scientists can’t be artistic and that art can’t be used t cmmunicate scientific ideas,” Mazn says.
That viewpint is eched by Illingwrth, wh thinks science cmmunicatin initiatives are t ften dminated by public lectures with their hands-ff PwerPint slides. “Actually, when science cmmunicatin invlves writing and sharing pems, it invites a tw-way dialgue between experts and nnexperts,” he says. Scientist-pet Manjula Silva, an educatr at Imperial Cllege Lndn, agrees, nting that petry simplifies cmplex scientific cncepts int language that everyne can understand.
Scientists and pets are bth trying t understand the wrld and cmmunicate that understanding with thers. The distinctin between scientists and pets is less than peple might think. We’re all just peple with hpefully really interesting things t say and t share.
8. What trend has been bserved recently amng scientists?
A. A decline in interest in petry and science.B. A preference fr traditinal research methds.
C. An increase in cmbining science and petry.D. A fcus n histrical figures like Ada Lvelace.
9. Hw des Sam Illingwrth bridge the gap between science and the public?
A. By translating classic petry int different languages.
B. By teaching at the University f Western Australia.
C. By advcating fr mre funding in gescience research.
D By rganizing wrkshps and publishing a science-petry jurnal.
10. Hw did Stephany Mazn feel abut the experience f writing a haiku in the wrkshp?
A. It was challenging and difficult.B. It was enjyable and straightfrward.
C. It was a waste f time.D. It was t artistic fr her taste.
11. What is ne advantage f using petry fr science cmmunicatin?
A. It simplifies cmplex scientific ideas fr a general audience.
B. It prmtes academic research in universities.
C. It replaces traditinal bring science textbks.
D. It emphasizes the significance f public lectures.
D
Researchers in Japan say they will begin selling new devices that will help peple cut dwn n the amunt f salt they use t imprve the taste f their fd. The develpers are frm Japan’s Meiji University and drink cmpany Kirin based in Tky.
One new device is an electric spn, which sends a weak electric current t the tngue. The current is t weak t be felt. Hwever, it makes salt taste ne and a half times strnger. This means we can eat fd with less salt, but still sense a salty taste.
The Electric Salt Spn will sell in Japan fr arund $120 beginning in June. Meiji University prfessr Hmei Miyashita develped the spn and a similar device electric chpsticks. The chpsticks will likely g n sale next year.
The recent annuncement marks the first time the technlgy has been used in a prduct fr sale t the public. Last year, the effrt gained a different srt f attentin. It wn the 2023 Ig Nbel Prize in nutritin. Organizers describe the prize as recgnizing research that makes “peple LAUGH, then THINK. ”
Miyashita and his labratry have explred ways that technlgy can create human sensry experiences. They have als develped a lickable TV screen that can recreate the taste f fd.
The beer prducer Kirin is turning t healthcare prducts t expand its traditinal business. A cmpany spkespersn said the technlgy might be especially useful fr Japanese peple, whse traditinal diet favrs salty fds. The average adult in Japan cnsumes abut 10 grams f salt per day. The Wrld Health Organizatin recmmends half that amunt.
Eating fds with t much salt can increase the chances f having cardivascular diseases, like high bld pressure and heart attacks. “T prevent these diseases, we need t reduce the amunt f salt we take,” said Kirin researcher Ai Sat. Sat said it is hard t cut salt in the usual way because it wuld mean “eating bland fd.”
12. What is the chief purpse f the new devices?
A. T make fd taste less tasty.B. T ck fd mre efficiently.
C. T help peple reduce their salt intake.D. T replace traditinal cking devices.
13. What is the main idea f the third paragraph?
A. The practical applicatin f different electric devices.B. The price and availability f the electric devices.
C. The awards wn by the Electric Salt Spn.D. The imprtance f reducing salt intake.
14. Why might the technlgy be especially useful fr Japanese peple?
A. They traditinally prefer salty fds.B. Their diet cntains t much fat and sugar.
C. Japan prduces a large amunt f salt each year.D. Many Japanese suffer frm cardivascular diseases.
15. What des the underlined phrase “bland fd ” in the last paragraph mst prbably mean?
A. Fd that is very salty.B. Fd that is tasteless.C. Fd that is nt healthy.D. Fd that is t bitter.
