Endangered plar bears are breeding (繁殖) with grizzly bears (灰熊), creating “pizzly” bears, which is being driven by climate change, scientists say.
As the wrld warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving plar bears are being frced ever further suth, where they meet grizzlies, whse ranges are expanding nrthwards. And with that grwing cntact between the tw cme increasing hybrids (杂交种).
With characteristics that culd give the hybrids an advantage in warming nrthern habitats, sme scientists guess that they culd be here t stay. “Usually, hybrids aren't better suited t their envirnments than their parents, but these hybrids are able t search fr a brader range f fd surces, ” Larisa DeSantis, an assciate prfessr f bilgical sciences at Vanderbilt University, tld Live Science.
The rise f “pizzly” bears appears with plar bears' decline: their numbers are estimated t decrease by mre than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly t “pizzly” bears taking up plar bears' ranges, where they utcmpete them, but als t plar bears' highly specialized diets.
“Plar bears mainly cnsumed sft fds even during the Medieval Warm Perid, a previus perid f rapid warming,” DeSantis said, referring t fat meals such as seals. “Althugh all f these starving plar bears are trying t find alternative fd surces, like seabird eggs, it culd be a tipping pint fr their survival.” Actually, the calries they gain frm these surces d nt balance ut thse they burn frm searching fr them. This culd result in a habitat ready fr the hybrids t mve in and take ver, leading t a lss in bidiversity if plar bears are replaced.
“We're having massive impacts with climate change n species,” DeSantis said. “The plar bear is telling us hw bad things are. In sme sense, “pizzly” bears culd be a sad but necessary cmprmise given current warming trends.”
28. Why d plar bears mve further suth?
A. T create hybrids.B. T expand territry.
C. T relieve hunger.D. T cntact grizzlies.
29. What makes “pizzly” bears adapt t natural surrundings better than their parents?
A. Brader habitats.B. Mre fd ptins.
C. Climate preference.D. Imprved breeding ability.
30. What des the underlined phrase “a tipping pint” in paragraph 5 refer t?
A. A rare chance.B. A critical stage.
C. A psitive factr.D. A cnstant change.
31. What's the main idea f the text?
A. Plar bears are changing diets fr climate change.
B. Plar bears have already adjusted t climate change.
C. “Pizzly” bears are n the rise because f glbal warming.
D. “Pizzly” bears have replaced plar bears fr glbal warming.

Have yu ever been in mid-cnversatin with smene, when yu lk ver and find them standing in the same psitin as yu r hlding the same facial expressin? It may seem like they have cnsciusly(有意识地) cpied yu, but it is much mre likely that it is the chamelen(变色龙) effect at play.
The chamelen effect is the uncnscius imitatin(模仿) f anther persn’s gestures r behaviur. Just as a chamelen attempts t match any envirnment’s clurs, peple acquire the behaviur f thers t bring them clser tgether and help make their interactins smth.
The chamelen effect was cnfirmed in an experiment by psychlgists Jhn Bargh and Tanya Chartran d in 1999. The first part f their experiment included 78 peple, wh each spke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Chartrand studied whether participants wuld cpy the actins f smene they hadn’t met befre, like mving the ft and tuching the face. The secnd part measured the impact that cpying smene has n the persn being imitated.
In the first stage, participants increased their face tuching by 20% and their ft mvement by 50% while in cnversatin abut a phtgraph with the experimenter. The individuals weren’t aware f what they were being studied fr, and the phtgraph was used t catch their attentin t ensure uncnscius acts. The secnd stage invlved half f the participants being cpied, and then determining the likeability f the experimenter. The results shwed that thse wh were imitated scred the experimenter higher. It has shwn that when smene cpies ur behaviur, we develp mre psitive feelings abut them. These interactins culd be a persn uncnsciusly willing t be liked, and frming a mment f cnnectin.
The main reasns behind humans’ imitatin are psitive. Hwever, when peple carry this chamelen effect t the extreme, they can lse their sense f self. Thse wh change their entire persnalities in different grups ften g unnticed. But mre cmmn signs f the chamelen effect are easier t ntice. Next time yu are in a scial gathering, take a lk arund and yu might just see sme chamelens fr yurself.
32. Why d peple acquire thers’ behavir?
A. T grab thers’ attentin.B. T build a bnd with thers.
C. T adjust t the surrundings.D. T match the envirnment’s clur.
33. Hw did the experimenter ensure participants’ uncnscius behavirs?
A. By hiding a camera frm them.
B. By keeping a clse eye n their actins.
C. By distracting their attentin frm a pht.
D. By directing their attentin t a pht.
34. What can be cncluded frm the experiment?
A. T much f the chamelen effect can be psitive.
B. Peple imitating thers are nt easy t be bserved.
C. Peple tend t appreciate thers imitating their behavir.
D. The cpied mvements help peple t feel less anxius.
35. Which f the fllwing reflects the chamelen effect accrding t the passage?
A. A cmedian cpies a celebrity vividly n stage.
B. Clse friends share similar behavirs ver time.
C. Students adpt teachers’ accents fr fun in secret.
D. Peple change their habits t cheer up thers n purpse.
