Every year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,” takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchman's daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks(鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese(小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.
His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.
However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.
To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are

treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.
He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It's a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story.”

Unless you're very young or very old, it's likely you have some kind of relationship with, e-mail, whether you get hundreds of messages a day or a few dozen a week. A new study suggests that how we deal with these incoming messages could be affecting our stress levels and overall health.

A team from the Future Work Centre in the UK surveyed 2, 000 people across various industries, sectors, and job roles, asking participants how they managed their email and how much associated stress they felt as a result. Overall, those who spent the most time organising and staying on top of messages felt the most email-related pressure too.
“While e-mail can be a valuable communication tool it's clear that it's a source of stress of frustration for many of us. The people who reported it being most useful to them also reported the highest levels of e-mail pressure!” said one of the team, Richard Mackinnon.
Two of the habits linked to more email-related stress were checking for messages first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Half of those surveyed had push notifications (消息推送)set up for new e-mail, while 62 percent of respondents left their e-mail app open all day and all night. Both were linked to higher levels of e-mail pressure. The survey also found that managers suffered more than non-managers.
Stress is not just a problem when it comes to our mood-it's been linked to a lot of disorders such as heart disease, weight gain, memory impairment (减弱),digestive problems, and depression.
The researchers suggest that the relationship between email-related stress and the negative impact on home life is not the same for everyone. 28. What's the purpose of the study?
A. To find out how many people have an email account B. To know what sort of people use email most.
C. To find out how email management is related to stress. D. To show what changes email has brought about to people. 29. What does Richard Mackinnon think of email?
A. It brings more strengths.
B. It is not an essential tool. D. It makes people puzzled.
C. It is a double-edged sword
30. Which of the following habits causes the most stress?

B. Checking email in the evening.

Picture an iceberg (冰山). You'll probably imagine something white as snow rising up out of a blue sea. But icebergs can be all sorts of shades. They can be from a frosty blue to an attractive green.
Researchers and sailors have observed emerald(翠绿色) icebergs for years. A large piece of ice “mast-high” and “green as emerald” even appears in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 1834 poem. But they haven't found out exactly why these icebergs look the way they do.
A new paper led by Stephen Warren was published. It all has to do with what icebergs are made out of. Icebergs break off glaciers(冰川) or ice shelves, which happens mainly around Antarctica and Greenland. They begin their lives as snowfall that accumulates over time. So icebergs contain air pockets with the form of bubbles that spread light. With some exceptions and rare lines, glacier ice tends to look bluish white.
At first, Warren guessed that the green was a product of melt carbon. And it came from rotting plants or sea animals. But samples(样本) didn't prove it. Another idea started to take shape after they had found a high concentration of iron in a sample of sea ice from the Amery Ice Shelf.
When glaciers rub across land, they produce what's known as glacier flour. It is a product of bedrock being ground down by the moving mass. As glaciers move away, these remains are usually washed out into water in particles sometimes too small to be noticeable to your eyes. But on land soil and rocks contain iron oxides that often have rosy colors. Like reds, yellows, and browns -and since the sea ice contained 500 times more iron than the glacier ice, Warren wondered whether the remains were responsible for icebergs taking on a green appearance.
He doesn't know for sure. He's hoping to secure money so that he can return to the area and study the icebergs themselves.
