Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window.
\you want one right now?\
The man looked to be in his 60s. He laughed, saying, \week. I am really hoping to get a haircut.\
\
She drove off, went to the salon(美发厅)she owns, and moved a red chair into her car. Then
11
she drove back. The man, named Edward, took a seat. She started to give him a haircut. He told her about his growing up in Mississippi and moving to Minnesota to be closer to his adult children. After the haircut was done, Edward looked in a mirror and said gladly, \

After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she'd felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology(美容学)school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. 4. What did Steller offer to Edward?

Scientist have been studying Antarctica for over a century, but details as basic as what it looks like beneath all that ice have largely remained a mystery. Now, Earther reports that a team of scientists from Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and the UK has published the most detailed
11
data yet on the continent's subglacial topography(冰川下的地形) near the South Pole.
As they report in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, central Antarctica is home to three large canyons(峡谷), one of which is deeper than the Grand Canyon and nearly as wide at some points. The researchers made the discovery by flying a plane with radar over the South Pole, a spot that isn't covered by satellites. They expected to find mountains beneath the ice sheet, but the wide canyons they found between the mountains came as a surprise.
Of the three canyons, two hadn't been documented previously. The largest, the Foundation Trough(基础槽), measures 218 miles long, up to 22 miles wide, and 6,260 feet deep, putting it up there with the planet's most impressive canyons.
The discoveries are significant on their own, but the real purpose behind the research is to better understand how the West and Fast Antarctic ice sheets will react to rising temperatures. Human-caused climate change has made some of the continent's ice not firm, and the West Antarctic ice sheet especially has been slowly melting to the sea. If patterns continue, the coastal glaciers supporting the large ice sheets could fall down, causing sea levels to rise a minimum of 10 feet. If this happens, the canyons could be a major factor in the speed and direction of ice flow from central Antarctica to the coast.
The event isn't likely to happen in the near future, but further study of Antarctica's topography will allow scientists to better predict when it might. 8. Which of the following have scientists known little?
A. The shape of Antarctica ice. B. The condition of Antarctica ice. C. The Grand Canyon. D. The beneath of Antarctica ice. 9. Which of the following is found by a plane with radar?
A. The Grand Canyon. B. The mountains. C. Three large canyons. D. Ice sheets. 10. How do the scientists feel about finding the wide canyons?
A. Ridiculous. B. Interesting. C. Unexpected. D. Common. 11. What's the aim of the study?
A. To know how ice sheets react to rising temperatures.
11
B. To find out how large the three canyons are. C. To document the three canyons.
D. To show the importance of the three canyons.

Hugging a dog is one of the life's greater joys. It is like experiencing a love drug, which is quite true.
Dogs and humans always interact with each other. And if you get to have dogs and hug them every day, you just might live longer than people who don't have to clean animal hair off their clothes, according to a pair of studies recently.
The studies, published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, suggest that dog ownership is linked to a 21%reduction in the risk of death-over the 12-year period studied-for people with heart disease. When you look at all the evidence around dog ownership and their health, it's pretty clear the signal is real.
We've known forever that owning a dog increases one's physical activity. Regardless of weather, you have to get out and walk the dog. Otherwise, you might stay home and watch TV. Owning a dog makes you spend more time outdoors, and time spent outdoors improves health. Owning a dog or interacting with a dog even for a short term also reduces blood pressure. And the biggest advantage of having a dog is what it does for mental health. We see very beneficial effects on depression and anxiety.
Many of us may not have a dog. And these studies have finally convinced someone to get one. We've thought of dogs as a form of comfort. The study forces a rethinking of pets in our society. We've started out with dogs as accomplices during hunts as hunter-gatherers. Gradually, we selected for traits of loyalty and friendship. At this point, many of us can totally see the basic reasons why dogs improve our sense of well-being, reduce loneliness and can be an improvement to our physical and mental health.
12. Who might live longer according to the study?
A. People who hate dogs. B. People who have dogs.
