If you thought pilots dimmed（调暗）the lights before takeoff to give you some shuteye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.
The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”
The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight. Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for
flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, that might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.
24. The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers_______. A. take a short break
B. escape in time of emergency C. create a warm atmosphere
D. adapt their eyes to the bright environment
25. What is one of the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time? A. Slowing down the landing. B. Adjusting the plane lights.
C. Keeping passengers calm. D. Helping the crew judge outside risks. 26. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Dimming lights. B. The escape process. C. Reducing tension. D. The passage. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. A tip of air travel. B. An emergency event on a plane.
C. A warning message on a plane.
D. An explanation of an airline safety measure. C
When was the last time you told someone they inspire you to go to work each morning?
Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, did just that this September, when they pulled individual students out of class to tell them just how much they appreciated them.
The students’ reactions, which were captured (捕捉) on video and shared on YouTube in a now-viral video, ranged from shy thanks to hugs and tears.
“I have been challenged to find a student who makes me want to come to school every day,” says one teacher in the video, “and that’s you.”
Jamie McSparin, a teacher in charge of the school’s academy program for at-risk sophomores （二年级学生）and juniors, posed the challenge, writes ABC News.
“Initially when we pulled the kids out, they all thought they were in trouble,” McSparin told ABC News. “Any teacher-student interaction always seems to be negative (消极的), and that was something that bothered me, too. No matter if they’re a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says. McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.
“I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them, I just don’t think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV. It’s safe to say the challenge was effective.
“I feel special,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.” 28. What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Presented. B. Rejected. C. Ignored. D. Evaluated.
29. How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first? A. Nervous. B. Thrilled. C. Curious. D. Encouraged.
30. What inspired McSparin to challenge the project? A. The trouble caused by students. B. The need of shooting the video.
C. A seminar named the power of positivity. D. A program related to students’ interactions. 31. What message does this text mainly convey? A. Challenge is unavoidable in life. B. Everyone needs to be appreciated. C. Positivity outweighs negativity.
D. News media contribute to students’ progress.

On a college camping trip, curiosity about waves and sand caused Rob Thieler to study shorelines around the world. Thirty years later and now a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic Coast piping plover. The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds（繁殖）along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakes
and the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats（栖息地）, threaten the species（物种）. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets.
Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. That
equals about a third of the distance across the U.S., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a real-time idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.
While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Survey’s
web-based “iCoast—Did the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing
bird’s-eye-view photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts (影响) worldwide. 32. What can we know about the piping plover? A. Its behaviour is changing. B. Its habitat is growing bigger.
C. Its living environment is becoming worse.
D. Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic Coast. 33. Why did Thieler develop iPlover? A. To study shorelines across America. B. To advance information technology. C. To find out global climate change.
D. To monitor changes of piping plover habitats. 34. Which of the following benefits the shorebirds?
A. The camping equipment. B. Research on smartphones.
