17、物could exist.thats why a nasa team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in antarctica. a curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the cameras cable. scientists also pulled up a tentacle触须they believ

18、e came from a jellyfish.“we were operating on the presumption that nothings there. said nasa ice scientist robert bindschadler. “it was a shrimp youd enjoy having on your plate.“we were just gaga狂热的over it, he said when talking about the long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. tech

19、nically, its not a shrimp. its a lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.the video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. and it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of antarctic ice i

20、n freezing dark water, what about other cold places? what about europa, a frozen moon of jupiter?cynan ellis evans, a scientist of the british antarctic survey called the finding fascinating. he said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and dont live there permanently.but kim, who is

21、a co-author of the study, doubts it. “the site in west antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. bindschadler drilled a 20 cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. that means its unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small area, sh

22、e said.“yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. while some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp cant, kim said. “so how do they survive? thats the key question. kim said.“its pretty amazing when you fin

26、done about what the creatures live onbbeing a mother is apparently not like it was in the good old days.todays parents yearn for the golden age that their own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and 1980s, researchers found. mothers have less time to themselves and feel under greater pressure to handle wor

27、k and family life than the previous generation. as a result, 88 per cent said they felt guilty about the lack of time they spent with their children.the survey of 1,000 mothers also found that more than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did just three hours a week or 2

28、6 minutes a day. and 64 per cent said this was because they felt they had to go out to work, while nearly a third29 per centsaid they were under constant pressure to be the perfect mother, the report found.other findings showed social networking and parenting websites, as well as technology such as

29、skype, were important in providing help and support among female communities. kate fox, a member of the social issues research centre, which conducted the survey for procter & gamble, said: with increasing pressure on mothers to work a “double shift to be the perfect mother as well as a wage-ear

30、ner support networks are more important than ever. it comes as a separate report examining childcare in the leading industrialised nations found that working mothers in britain spend just 81 minutes a day caring for their children as a primary activity. mothers who stay at home, on the other hand, m

38、e due to inbreeding, and the conflict between the need to expand natural habitats and local communities' economic interests, bird experts have warned.the crested ibis, once widespread in japan, china, russia and the korean peninsula, almost became extinct in the first half of the 20th century.be

39、fore 1981, when seven crested ibis were accidentally found in yangxian county, in northwest china's shaanxi province, academics thought the species had been extinct in china for almost 17 years.due to the huge effort put into species protection since 1981, the number of crested ibis in china has

40、 risen to an estimated 1,617, including 997 in the wild, the state forestry administration said at a meeting on crested ibis protection in xi'an on monday.however, although the ibis population exceeds 1,000, the birds are still not free from the threat of extinction, said fang shengguo, director

41、 of the state conservation center for gene resources of endangered wildlife at zhejiang university.“ornithologists used inbreeding in the early stages of protection so that numbers of the precious birds could increase quickly, but that method had consequences, fang said."studies have proved tha

42、t as a result of inbreeding, crested ibis have the lowest genetic diversity of all endangered birds," fang said."it means a high mortality rate and more physical defects for hatched chicks."“the government should collect genetic information from all crested ibis and establish a geneti

43、c database as soon as possible, then design a scientific mating plan for the species, fang said.so far, about 90 percent of crested ibis live in shaanxi province, and fewer than 140 ibis live in three zoos in other parts of the country, including beijing zoo, according to liu dongping, an assistant

44、researcher at the national bird banding center of china, which is affiliated to the chinese academy of forestry.the bird has lost the ability to migrate, he said, adding that if an unexpected natural disaster occurred in shaanxi province or an infectious disease spread through the area, the ibis pop

45、ulation could be greatly reduced.experts also warned that the increased population of ibis, whether in the wild or in captivity, requires a larger and more varied natural habitat.rampant hunting, the massive loss of habitat caused by deforestation and the overuse of pesticides, which killed aquatic

46、insects on which the ibis feed, are believed to be the main reasons for the sharp reduction in the ibis population before 1981.so, in 1983, a state-level natural reserve was set up in shaanxi province to protect the bird. but the struggle for living space between human and animal has never stopped,

47、said lu baozhong, deputy director of the shaanxi crested ibis conservation station."for example, ibis often look for loaches in farmers' rice fields. sometimes their claws trample the rice seedlings. in another case, villagers discovered some land with abundant mineral resources which happe

48、ned to be a habitat for ibis," said lu, who has devoted 30 years to ibis protection.a long-term win-win solution for ibis and local communities needs to be developed, one that would provide ecological compensation for local residents, lu said.50whats the best title for the passage?athe rare bir

52、 a better habitat for the crested ibis.cthe problems of the crested ibis have not been solved now.dthe government has established a genetic database of the crested ibis.di would like to tell you a story about my uncle theo. he is my oldest uncle, a tall, thin, grey-haired man whose thoughts are alwa

53、ys on learning and nothing else. he is quiet, gentle and absent-minded and with about as much sense as a child where money is concerned. well, he applied a post in camford university. it was a very good post and there were hundreds of candidates who applied for it, and about fifteen, including theo,

54、 were asked to be interviewed.camford is a very small town; there is only one hotel in it, and it was so full that they had to put many of the candidates two in a room. theo was one of these, and the man who shared the room with him was a self-confident fellow called adams, about twenty years younger than theo, with a loud voice, and a laugh that you could hear all over the hotel. but he was a clever fellow all the same and had a good post in iscaiot college, narkover. wel
