In fact, half of the 6,000-7,
17、000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations UNESCO and National Geographic among them hav
18、e for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi wi
19、th an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience of living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions a

25、tect and reconnect.D. Design, experiment and report.CWhen we look at a lovely baby, a puppy or a really cute kitten, many of us want to squeeze it. Why is that?According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, its a typical experience of “cute aggression”. The exper
26、ience results from the fight between the brains “emotion system”, which impels (驱使) people to squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings of “wanting”.In the study, 54 participants between the ages of 18 and 40 were presented with four groups of photos. Two of the groups o
27、f photos were of cute human babies and animals and the other two were of less adorable adult humans and animals. As the participants looked at the photos, there searchers watched their brain activities.According to the researchers, the participants reward systems were found to be active as they look
28、ed at the cute babies, and they seemed to be overwhelmed. By contrast, the reward systems of the people looking at the less cute adults were found to be inactive, and they seemed to be less impelled by their reward systems.This suggests that cute things activate their emotion systems in such a way t
29、hat people are overwhelmed by the experience of cuteness. But reward systems work against these emotions by creating the desire to protect cute things.As Katherine Stavropoulos, the lead researcher of this study at the University of California in the US told Science Alert, “The cute aggression is th
30、e brains way of bringing us back down by balancing our feelings of being overwhelmed.”Stavropoulos compared this process of balancing to an evolutionary adaptation. Such an adaptation may have taken place to ensure that people are able to continue taking care of creatures they consider particularly

Katherine Stavropoulos conducted this study on her own.C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities of all the participants.D

35、ng phenomenon with readers.DWhile the human world is suffering from the novel coronavirus outbreak, our planet is actually showing certain signs of “recovery” from the damage caused by human activity. According to the BBC, new satellite images released by the European Space Agency showed that levels
36、 of air pollutants and greenhouse gases have “fallen sharply” in major cities in Europe and the United States ever since the lockdown(活动限制) started.This is what happened after recent discoveries in Antarctica. An international team of 89 scientists found that the ice in Greenland and Antarctica is m
37、elting six times faster in the xs than it was in the 1990s. And in February, Argentinas Marambio research station in Antarctica recorded a record high temperature of 20.75 on the continent.So what exactly will happen if the temperature keeps rising and the ice keeps melting? A third study might give
38、 you an idea. A team of scientists drilled a hole into the seafloor in west Antarctica and extracted material from underground, in which they found traces of roots, spores and pollentypical products of a rainforestthat dated back 90 million years ago. In other words, Antarctica was very likely a rai
39、nforest back when the dinosaurs walked on Earth. But given the fact that the South Pole has four months of darkness during wintereven millions of years agoscientists believe that the rainforest could only exist if the greenhouse gas concentrations were extremely high back then to keep the continent
40、warm when there was little or no sunlight.“We didnt know that this Cretaceous (白垩纪的) greenhouse climate was that extreme,” Johann Klages of the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany and a co-author of the research told the Guardian. “It shows us what carbon dioxide is able to do.”Ice or no ice, Antarc

Even when your brain is doing important and difficult stuff, youre not aware of most of whats going on. _36_ For the most part, its doing
47、a great job, working hard to help you survive and achieve your goals in a complicated world. Because you often have to react quickly to emergencies and opportunities, your brain usually tries to get a simple answer in a hurry rather than a prefect answer that takes time to work out. But as the world
48、 is not simple, this means that your brain has to take shortcuts and make a lot of assumptions. _37_ The problem starts when the brain takes in information from the world through the senses. Even if you are sitting quietly in a room, your brain receives far more information than it can hold on to or than you need to decide how to act.
