In its natural habitat, the sun bear spends over 80 percent of its active waking time in daylight

12、.But when disturbed by human activity, that changes dramatically. In areas where people are pushing into the sun bears habitat, the animals are spending 90 percent of their waking time after dark. Effectively, the threat of human presence is making the sun bear change into “the moon bear”.Led by sci

13、entists at the University of California, Berkeley, the study found that human activity is driving scores of mammals to shift their activity from the daytime into the dark hours of the night. As many animals have already been forced out of their local habitats, others are attempting to avoid interact

14、ion with humans by separating themselves in time rather than in space.For the work, the researchers examined the behaviors of 64 mammal species, including deer, tigers, boars, and, of course, sun bears. They observed increased nocturnal (夜间的) behavior in a large majority of them, with species that a

15、re naturally active during the day tending to shift their activity to after dark, and those that are naturally nocturnal becoming more so. The mammals affected ranged across body size, habitat type, region of the world, and diet.Human activity of all sorts affect animals，lives, including activities

16、like hunting, agriculture and land development, harvesting local natural resources, even hiking or walking through wild areas. Sport hunting in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe drove antelopes to spend more of their active waking hours at night, restricting their access to water. Similarly, hike

21、talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is no

22、t enough.I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100, 000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this

23、business consultant who gave me the phrase, They are one skill away from great wealth.There is an old saying that goes, Job means just over broke . And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most

24、 workers live within their means. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.When I ask the classes I teach, How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonalds?” almost all the students raise thei

25、r hands. I then ask, So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonalds makes more money than you? The answer is obvious: McDonalds is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or not

26、hing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.1、The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that .Ahe has a sharp sens

31、rising things as coal,limestone,air,and water.The artificial food will be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it.The future hospitals will probably have body banks that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living.People of t

Over the course of three experiments on 35young and health

38、y volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasnt any difference in reactions to tests

39、between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be

40、 on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to

41、 unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when theyre in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors

42、 note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.“The clinical implications havent been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry （精神医学）and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided

43、 by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”1、What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMay make

44、 senseBMay be ridiculous.CMay cause argumentsDMay be disturbing.2、What can we know from Paragraph 3?APeople are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.BBusiness travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.CIt brings much trouble to those who stay far away from their homes.DIt tak
