As a gethermal(地热)scientist，I knw that biling rivers exist-but they are always near vlcanes. Yu need a lt f heat t make that much water bil. We were wrking in the vlcanic gap, a 950-mile-lng area that cvers mst f Peru, where there haven't been vlcanic eruptins fr the past tw millin years.
Yet, we'd fund the Shanaya, a name riginated frm “heating thing”. My measurements averaged 190F-195°F.The lcals think it's s ht because f the Yacumama, r “water mther”-a spirit wh gives birth t waters-represented by a snake head-shaped rck at the rigin f the heated water.
I had t cut my way thrugh the bush at the side f the river t take temperature readings. All the while, right next t me was this very ht, fast-flwing bdy f water. A friend at the nearest village had tld me, “Use yur feet like eyes. Yu can't see heat, but yu can feel it when yu step near it." I wre sandals(凉鞋).
I was at a part f the river measuring 210°F, standing n a rck the size f a sheet r paper, when the rain fell. It was like a curtain rising. The temperature difference between the rain and the river caused a whiteut(临时性失明). I culdn't see, but I whistled t let my partner knw I was OK.
At 130°F, flesh cks, and the water arund me was nearing twice that. My eyes wuld have cked in less than a minute, and I culdn't have seen hw t get ut. I saw rats fall in, their eyes turning milky white. I kept whistling.
After 15 minutes the rain stpped and the steam cleared. A heavy rain in mst situatins wuld have been nthing imprtant. Here, fr a matter f minutes, it thinned the line between researching and being biled alive.

In a series f studies, researchers fund highly trained dgs may be mre successful than untrained pets in independently slving newly-presented prblems.
Researchers have discvered that ne f the factrs underlying this prcess may be persistence(坚持). It invlves reinfrcement, the principle that behavirs that are rewarded becme strnger and mre frequent. The ther side f this is extinctin, which refers t the fact that behavirs that are nt rewarded grw weaker and becme less likely t appear. When extinctin sets in, the animal will simply quit befre the prblem is slved. It is pssible that highly trained dgs have learned t persist and thus have develped resistance t extinctin, which wuld make them better prblem slvers.
In this recent study, the researchers lked at 26 adult dgs divided int tw grups,“trained dgs” and “pet dgs”. There were tw tasks that the dgs were tested n. One was a scial learning task where the dg had t learn t lk directly int the experimenter's eyes. Every time the dg stared at the experimenter's face, they received a treat (reinfrcement) Once the dgs were perfrming this task, the extinctin stage began, and the staring behavir was n lnger rewarded in rder t see hw persistent the newly learned behavir was.
The secnd task fcused n prblem slving. It invlved a flat disk that had bne shaped plastic bnes. The dgs had t learn t remve the plastic bnes t btain the treat hiding under each ne. After the series f rewarded trials, the extinctin stage began, and n mre reinfrcements were prvided fr remving the bnes.
In the scial learning task, the trained dgs gazed at the experimenters mre than the pet dgs during extinctin. While in the prblem-slving task, the trained dgs picked up a larger number f bnes during extinctin. In ther wrds, fr dgs wh had been trained, their newly learned behavirs persisted lnger and were strnger than the behavirs f the pet dgs wh received n training in any area.
( )8. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A. By stating a fact.
B. By raising a dubt.

B. Giving a gat sme grass every time it stands up.
C. Putting a fish back int the pl every time it jumps ut.
D. Yelling at a cat every time it fails t catch a muse.
( )10.Hw can dgs benefit frm training in the experiment?
A. Their newly learned behavirs last lnger.
B. They can grw strnger than untrained dgs.
C. They are mre likely t live lnger.
D. They are better at helping their friends.

With the grwing trend f listening t stries n meditatin apps(冥想应用)，travel tales-smetimes featuring surrunding sunds f places such as rainfrests in Brne-are helping peple get restful sleep. Imagine a vice sftly telling as listeners clse their eyes and snuggle dwn in their beds. Are yu paying attentin? Actually, it desn't matter.
Accrding t the CDC, sme 70 millin Americans struggle with chrnic sleep prblems. T help with this, many adults are bringing back bedtime stries thrugh meditatin apps. Nearly a third f the Calm app’s 300 bedtime stries, which have been listened t mre than 450 millin times, are abut travel. Sme 45 f the bedtime stries n the app Breethe are travel-related. Earlier this year, half f the tp 10 bedtime, stries were travel-themed.
Travel bedtime stries are typically an audi retelling f a trip and rely heavily n descriptins, with ccasinal surrunding nises like cean waves, train tracks, r sft music. Train stries are particularly ppular at bedtime. "Yu need mvement in a bedtime stry-if things are static(静止的)，it's t dull and the listener will get restless," says Martha Bayless, a prfessr at the University f Oregn’s Flklre and Public Culture Prgram.“But the mvement has t be nn-threatening and sthing. The train is the perfect vehicle fr sleep, engaging the senses in a gentle way."
“One pssible reasn why travel bedtime stries calm ur brains is mirrr neurns(镜像神经元),” says Rachel Salas, a neurlgist at Jhns Hpkins Center fr Sleep and Wellness.“These brain cells might cmbine ur wn experiences with smene else's. Fr example, a tale f train travel culd bring a sense f nstalgia(怀旧)fr ur wn past jurneys. The cmfrting sense f smething familiar can help with relaxatin and sleep. Additinally, the sund f a train chugging alng the tracks serves as a type f white nise that lulls peple t sleep," Salas adds.
"In mst travel bedtime stries, nthing much happens," says Bayless. “The bedtime stries are abut the quiet perid between adventures, which is what sleep is als abut."
( )12.In which aspect d peple benefit frm travel tales?
A. Prmting sleep.
B. Inspiring imaginatin.
C. Imprving cncentratin.
D. Gaining travel infrmatin.
( )13. What d the numbers in Paragraph 2 mainly indicate?
A. Mst adults suffer a lt frm a lack f sleep.
B. Adequate quality sleep is essential t human health.
C. Meditatin apps help peple reduce stress effectively.
D. Travel-related bedtime stries are mre appealing t listeners.
( )14. Rachel Salas's wrds in Paragraph 4 serve as________.
A. evidence f the significance f mirrr neurns
B. an explanatin as t why travel tales help with sleep
C. a descriptin f adventurus travel experiences
D. an analysis f hw sleep affects peple’s memry
( )15. In which sectin f a newspaper may this article appear?

Every sentence we speak shws smething abut wh we are as humans. Even peple speaking the same language have distinct dialects. 16 Whether peple say “sda” r “pp may reveal what cuntry and what regin they are frm. What yu call the night befre a special festival may tie t yur religin beliefs.
17 Plants and animals that are given names in any language are generally thse that are relevant t peple speaking the language. The relevance cmes frm the way that the peple have interacted with the animals and plants. In sme cases, this has happened ver centuries.
While we might think f language as having a fixed set f wrds and rules that we learn in schl, in fact language is always develping. New wrds emerge while thers fall ut f use. Prnunciatin changes ver time. S d the meanings f wrds. 18
Our ability t learn language develps when we are yung. Sunds heard as infants, r even in the wmb(子宫),set the stage fr language learning later. Baby cing(咕咕叫)is the result f babies' analysis f the languages spken t them. 19 Children expsed t multiple languages early in life, and grwing up multilingual, develp enhanced cgnitive functins. These may include the ability t fcus and ignre distractins.
Languages are as diverse as the cmmunities that speak them. Each f the apprximately 7,000 wrld languages is a prf t a cmmunity's unique human experience. Yet, many languages arund the wrld are endangered. It is pssible that as many as half f the wrld's languages culd g silent by the end f this century. Why? 20 But they bil dwn t scial inequalities and disrespect fr thers.
