Alng the way, hikers walk thrugh the desert, up muntains and then crss seven natinal parks. It is a tugh jurney with a lw cmpletin rate. Just 14% f all hikers attempting a “thru-hike” have succeeded in finishing the PCT.

A recent study in the jurnal Current Bilgy fund that peple danced 12% mre when very lw frequency bass (低音) was played. Scientists wanted t see what factrs f music make us want t dance. “We lk at things like what kinds f rhythms make us really drawn in and want t mve mre,” said Daniel Camern, a neurscientist and the lead authr f the study.
Vlunteers were led int a lab that was changed int an electrnic dance music cncert, with live music perfrmed fr them, wh were equipped with headband s that had a mtin capture sensr. The lab had special speakers that culd play a very lw frequency bass, undetectable t the human ear. The set lasted abut an hur. Researchers intrduced the very lw bass every 2.5 minutes and fund that the cncertgers mved mre when the speakers were n — even thugh they culdn’t hear it.
Camern thinks that ur vestibular (前庭的) system can help explain the reasn. “It’s the inner-ear structures that give us a sense f where ur head is in space,” he says. “That system is sensitive t lw-frequency stimulatin, especially if it’s lud.”
Sme peple hear music and can’t help but mve, whether there are lw, silent bass frequencies r nt. S why d humans dance? “It’s hard t test this, but there has been sme wrk n why we may have evlved this way. We knw that mving tgether in synchrny (同步) when we’re making music tgether and dancing tgether leads t scial bnding. We feel better abut the peple we’re with. We feel mre cnnected with them,” Camern says. “S yu can imagine this has ptential advantages fr grups thrughut the lng histry f ur species.”
Evlutin aside, Camern finds value in knwing his study has uncvered just ne f the ingredients fr what makes us want t dance a little bit mre.
8. What des Camern’s research fcus n?
A The ppularity f dancing amng peple.B. The evlutinary reasns why humans dance.
C. The musical elements that encurage dancing.D. The little effect f lw frequency bass n dancers.
9. What can we learn abut the research setup described in paragraph 2?
A. Lw frequency bass was played regularly.B. Participants tracked their wn mvements.
C. The dance music was perfrmed in a live cncert.D. The human speakers perfrmed fr an entire hur.
10. Why might humans have evlved t dance accrding t Camern?
A. T inspire imaginatin.B. T prmte cmmunicatin.
C. T create wrk pprtunities.D. T stimulate the bdy’s ptential.
11. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. The Science f DanceB. The Benefit Behind Dancing
C. The Rle f Rhythms in MusicD. The Evlutin f the Musical System

In 2021, a wildfire blmed in the Snran Desert in suthwestern Arizna. By June 7, winds had blwn the wildfire east-nrtheast int the Pinal Muntains, in the Tnt’s suthern reaches. The fire rse quickly, climbing ver cliffs (悬崖) and sweeping acrss vast jungles. When the fire hit the tps f muntains with pine frests, it cnsumed them as well.
The Telegraph Fire, as it’s nw called, grew very intense, creating its wn wind as its heat rse, pulling air in frm the edges. On the fifth day, the fire neared the city f Glbe. By then, it had already destryed a large area f Glbe, making it ne f the mst pwerful wildfires in Arizna’s histry, spanning apprximately 700 square kilmeters f land. But the fire wuld nt swallw Glbe. Instead, n a ridge, the Telegraph Fire encuntered a prtective bulwark, remains f a previus great fire.
Accrding t eclgist Kit O’Cnnr, the Telegraph Fire shifted frm a pwerful fire, which was killing rughly 60% t 70% f the trees it encuntered, t a slw-mving grund fire that nly killed abut 1% f the trees it came acrss. “Ultimately, the fire stpped apprximately a kilmeter away frm a residential area n the utskirts f Glbe,” said Lata, a wildfire management expert. She ntes that withut the Pinal Fire, the Telegraph Fire wuld have likely spread int the twn and that they wuld have n means t prevent it.
The decisin t allw the Pinal Fire t burn was guided by a new apprach t wildfire management called ptential peratinal delineatins (PODs). PODs categrize the landscape int znes where fires can ptentially be cntained. These znes are determined befre the fire seasn begins, using a cmbinatin f AI and lcal expertise. A PODs netwrk can assist land managers in identifying pprtunities t explit wildfires that light under manageable cnditins. The gal is that, if subsequent fires break ut under extreme cnditins, there will be fewer bushes available t feed their great pwer.
12. What des paragraph 1 mainly describe abut the wildfire?
A. Its extensin.B. Its rigin.C. Its duratin.D. Its management.
13. What des the underlined wrd “bulwark” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A. A water surce.B. A defensive wall.
C. A type f vegetatin.D. A fire-fighting technique.
14. What is Lata’s attitude t the Pinal Fire?
A. Critical.B. Indifferent.C. Cautius.D. Supprtive.
15. What is the main purpse f PODs in wildfire management?
A. T predict wildfire ccurrences.B. T reduce fuel fr future wildfires.
C. T help land managers put ut wildfires.D. T create landscapes against ptential wildfires.
