Researchers are using an underwater drone (无人机) to get information on carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the ocean. It is believed to be the first time that such a device (装置) has been used purposely to test CO₂ levels.
The device, which the team also calls a glider, is designed to go down to 1,000 meters in deep ocean areas and can operate for weeks at a time.
The purpose of the research is to provide scientists with data (数据) about how climate change is influencing the ocean’s chemistry. The self-swimming drone was placed in the Gulf of Alaska this spring. Reporters from The Associated Press recently joined researchers on a boat in Alaska’s Resurrection Bay to see the drone in action.
The team says the project could be a major step forward in measuring(测量) the environmental health of oceans. The scientists are most interested in levels of ocean acidification(酸性). This happens when CO₂ emissions(排放) in the air make their way into the ocean. Ocean acidification can harm or kill some kinds of sea life.
Scientists have connected CO₂ emissions with global(全球) warming caused by human activities.
In a way, oceans have given humans a helping hand by taking in(吸收) some of the CO₂. If there were no oceans’ uptake, there would be much more CO₂ in the air. This would trap more of the sun’s heat and further warm the Earth.
“But the problem now is that the ocean is changing its chemistry because of this uptake,” said team member Claudine Hauri.
One of the best ways to measure ocean acidification is to collect CO₂ measurements. Until now, these collections were mostly done from ships or with devices floating at the ocean surface or on the ocean floor.

| D． |
It is used to measure CO₂ levels in the air. |
(3). What does the underlined word “uptake” in Paragraph 6 most probably mean?
| A． |
The act of covering an area. |
B． |
The act of slowing something down. |
| C． |
The act of taking something in. |
D． |
The act of killing or harming something. |
(4). What is troubling the scientists?
| A． |
The underwater drone can’t swim by itself. |

The drone can only last one week at a time. |
| C． |
Oceans are stopping taking in CO₂from the air. |
| D． |

This is a typical(典型的) day for Yang Jinlong.
At 9 a. m. , he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm(节奏) of bamboo clappers(响板), which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6. p.m. , and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day.
On June 10, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced 325 national intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1, 557 items. Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. The art form has been introduced to local schools as part of their art education.
Yang has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk.
“Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said.
Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak in the local dialect(方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhym.
Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country.

AQ is the ability of a person to think, manage, experience and overcome difficult situations. ___（1）__ But now, just like IQ, it is also important to develop our ability to rise in challenging（挑战性的）or difficult situations and improve our AQ. I would like to share my ideas on how to deal with countless difficult situations.
Exercise and walk. Whenever a difficult situation happens, try to exercise or walk at least 30 minutes a day. __（2）__ And the problems with your study will no longer trouble you, since you’ve cleared your mind and you’re sure you’ll make it.
__（3）__ If allowed, when a difficult situation happens, it’s best to take a break to think and cool down. You can go to a cafe and read a book you’ve been wanting to read but had no time. ___（4）__ When you take your mind off your problems, you’ll find yourself much better no matter what they are.
Last but not least, once you have overcome the difficult situations, be kind to yourself by giving yourself a prize. It may not be something expensive. It can be an experience or something that will make you feel fulfilled and pleased. __（5）__
Even if there are still difficult situations in my life now, the list above has helped me better than before. I hope it will help you too in overcoming whatever difficult situations you are going through.

It is easy to believe that the daily life of a plant is simple and boring. They seem to just stand there and sunbathe. In fact, plants are always busy doing many things. Measuring（估量）light is one of them. This activity helps plants to plan better for the future.
To start with, we should know how plants feel the light. In fact, there are some special proteins（蛋白质） in their cell（细胞）. Once receiving light, they will call on other cells to produce, resulting in the growth towards the light.
Then what can plants get from measuring the changes in the amount（量）of daylight? This helps them to tell what time of the year it is. If a plant is beginning to get more daylight, it knows it’s spring. Because of this, it may then start producing flowers.
If the amount of daylight starts to get low, the plant knows that autumn is coming. It may start to store “food” for its growth. For example, the potato plant will make tubers（块茎）—the potatoes that we eat.
Plants record not only the amount of daylight they receive, but also the quality（质量） of light. Some forms of light can help plants grow better. Direct sunlight, for example, works better than light that is being separated through the leaves of other plants. A plant can’t get the right form of light when it is prevented from getting light by other plants. It may then begin to grow taller or produce larger leaves in order to get more sunlight.
