However, a lot of information is still of the speculation,

12、 and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred R

13、omer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Homer thought that tidal (潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs. Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest

14、among them grew to accomplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods”. Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at

15、 Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the 2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, that by using computer software, her team had managed to link Homers theory to places where fossil deposits (沉积物) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in 2014, Steven Bal

16、bus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools would h

17、ave been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained Mattias Green, an ocean scientist at the UKs University of Bangor. As he told Science, “After a few days in these pools, you become food or you run out of food. the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip

18、(翻转) themselves back in the water.”As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge Universitys paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land-based tetrapods, any or all

19、 of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.1、Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?AAlfred Romer. BCharles Darwin.CHannah Byrne. DSteven Balbus.2、Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus

Now some companies are shortening the working week to increase

22、efficiency, health and happiness.Rich Leigh has introduced a four-day week at his PR company. In fact, his entire company has Friday off, because his firm has adopted a four-day week. It is one of a handful of UK businesses that now operate like this: staff still get paid their previous five-day sal

23、ary, but they work a day less. The company found that they achieved just as muchand there were even sighs of growth. “The key to the schemes success,” Leigh says, “is how happy our employees now are.”The average British worker takes only a 34 minute lunch break and works 10 hours overtime each week

24、(more often than not this is unpaid). Yet UK productivity falls seriously behind their European neighbors, who tend to work fewer hours.British working practices have caused loss and damage to the nations health and happiness. More than half a million workers in the UK were signed off with work-rela

25、ted stress or anxiety last year. Moreover, the work landscape itself is changing. Automation and AI will have a significant impact on the labor market, where unsteady work becomes more common.Britain is the only EU member that allows workers to ignore the EU working time limit and work longer hours.

26、 For campaigners, now is the time for a change. OGrady, an advocate, argues that where businesses have increased their profits as a result of automation, success should be shared with workers in the form of reduced hours. “Its time to share the benefits from new technology, not allowing those at the

27、 top to grab them for themselves.” she says.1、We can learn from the passage that _.ABritish people are the least productive in the worldBMost companies in Britain have conducted a four-day weekCPR company has witnessed a rise in employees happinessDBritish people work longer and get more payment tha

32、ave left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered Chinas greatest playwright and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, and pursued a low-key career as an officia

33、l until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeares large body of plays, poems and sonnets （十四行诗），Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin （紫钗记），Peony Pavilion （牡丹亭），A Dream under the Southern Bough （南柯记，and Dream of Handan（邯郸记.

35、sty（13681644）and the popularity of his works had a good reason. Similar to Shakespeare, his success rode the wave of a renaissance （复兴）in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeares England, Tangs works became hugely popular in China too. During Tangs China, the way, in which playlets were e

36、njoyed and performed, changed. Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. Combining northern tune and southern music, kunqu opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tangs works bene
