The Arctic's permafrost is inciting— and fast. That's bad news, because these frozen soils store billions of tons of carbon, just waiting to be released. So is there a way to save the permafrost? One team of researchers thinks it may have found a possible solution: big animals, herbivores - animals that eat only plants.
Back in 1996 researchers started an experiment called Pleistocene Park. They fenced in about eight square miles of land in northeast Siberia. Then they introduced different types of herbivores: reindeer, horses, bison, sheep and other large creatures.
Since then, scientists have studied these animals' effects on the ecosystem. One outcome is that these large herbivores help keep the ground very cold — cooler than it would otherwise be.
“The snow in winter is important for soil temperature, because it acts as an insulating layer. So the air in winter, at the high latitudes, is much colder than the soil." Philipp Porada, a vegetation ecologist at the University of Hamburg. "So the idea of this experiment was to introduce large herbivores — and to quantify their effects on soil temperature to see if they can actually protect permafrost soils against melting. And this works because of the animals' trampling（践踏），and this leads to less insulation of the soil against cold air temperatures and results in a cooling effect.”
Freezing air reaches the soil more easily. Porada and his colleagues realized the significance of this effect, so they pulled data from Pleistocene Park and Sweden to model what effect herbivores could have on permafrost if they lived in large numbers in the Arctic.
They found that even in a worst-case situation, some four degrees Celsius of global wanning: “These herbivores in the model reduce soil temperature substantially, by 1.7 degrees on average. And this leads to a preservation of around 80 percent of the original — today's permafrost area. Without the herbivore effect in the model, only 50 percent of the permafrost area would remain by the year 2100. So we can say the effect of the herbivores in the model leads to a substantial preservation of permafrost soil." 24. Why is the Pleistocene Park Experiment mentioned?
A. To provide the past research data.
B. To share soil preservation experience.
C. To introduce a way to save permafrost.
D. To prove animals' effect on soil temperature.
25. What does the underlined word "insulating" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Covering. B. Blocking.
C. Storing. D. Freezing.
26. What does herbivores' trampling contribute to?
A. Cooling the ground. B. Heating the soil
C. Damaging the ground. D. Softening the soil.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Permafrost Is Disappearing B. Preservation of Permafrost
C. An Experiment on Herbivores D. Herbivores Help Save Permafrost

A century ago, people needed help to understand science. Much as they do today.
Then as now, it wasn't always easy to sort the accurate from the erroneous. Media regarded science as secondary to other mission. When science made the news, it was often confusing, or misleading.
E.W. Scripps, a newspaper publisher, and William Emerson Ritter, a biologist, sensed a need for reliable news about science, devoted to truth and precision. So Science Service was born - soon to give birth to the magazine now known as Science News.
In its first year. Science Service delivered its weekly news reports to newspapers. By 1922 they became available to the public, giving birth to Science News-Letter, the ancestor of Science News. Then as now, the magazine included all flavors of science — from the atom（原子）to outer space, from agriculture to oceanography, from transportation to nutrition.
In those early days, much of Science Service focused on space and new technologies, filled with various guessing and arguments. Much of the century's scientific future was predicted, though not all predictions aged well.
In the century since, real science has progressed to an advanced degree of wisdom, to an extent almost unimaginable to the scientists and journalists of the 1920s.
When Science Service launched its mission, astronomers were unaware of the extent of the universe. No biologist knew what DNA did. Geologists saw that Earth's continents looked like separated puzzle pieces, but declared that to be a coincidence.
Modern scientists know better. Yet somehow scientists still pursue the same questions. It turns out that the past century's groundbreaking experimental discoveries, revolutionary theoretical revelations and prescient guessing have not removed science's familiarity with false starts, unfortunate missteps and shortsighted prejudices. Researchers today have expanded the range of the reality they can explore, yet still trip through the remaining uncharted jungles of nature's facts and laws, seeking further clues to how the world works.
Science is more like it is today than it ever has been. It remains as challenging as ever to human inquiry. And the need to communicate its progress, sensed by Scripps and Ritter a century ago, remains as essential now as then.
28. What led to the birth of Science Service?
A. Media's attitude to science.
B. Difficulty in defining science.
C. People's love for their mission.
D. Need for true and precise science.
29. What do Paragraphs4-5 mainly discuss?
A. The content of Science Service.
B. The future of Science Service.
C. The limits to the then scientists.
D. The problems facing modem scientists.
30. What's the author's attitude towards the past science?
A. Uncaring. B. Unfavorable. C. Supportive. D. Passionate.
31. What docs the author mean in the last paragraph?
A. Science in the past was not real science at all.
B. People have fully grasped the nature of science.
C. Today is the best time for science development.
D. Dependable news about science should be accessible anytime.

Imagine a world where you move around in front of a personal computer in your own sound space. You listen to your, favorite songs, play loud computer games or watch a movie - all without other people hearing the sound. That is the possibility presented by "sound beaming,'' a new technology from No veto Systems, an Israeli company.
On Friday, the company debuted(首发)a desktop device that sends sound directly to a listener without the need for headphones or a special receiver. No veto Systems gave The Associated Press (AP) a chance to test its SoundBeamer 1.0 before its debut. The AP's Louise Dixon writes that listening to the device is like something from a science fiction movie. The sound seems so close that it feels like it is inside your cars while also in front, above and behind them.
Noveto expects the device will have many uses. Office workers could listen to music or conference calls without others hearing. People could play a game, a movie or music without waking up others in the same room. Because the device docs not use headphones, it is possible to hear other sounds in the room clearly.
The device uses a 3-D technology that finds and follows the ear position of the listener. It sends ultrasonic(超声的) waves to create sound pockets by the user's cars. Sound can be heard in stereo or 3-D. The 3-D method creates sound on all sides of the listener, the company said.
The demo(样本)version of the device included nature videos of birds on a lake, bees flying and a quiet waterway. Most people trying the technology for the first time just say, 'Wow. ! really don't believe it. It sounds like a speaker, but no one else can hear it ... it's supporting you and you're in the middle of everything. It's happening around you.”
By changing a setting, the sound can follow a listener around when they move their head. It is also possible to move out of the sound beam's path and hear nothing at all.
While the idea of sound beaming is not new, Noveto was the first to launch the technology. Its chief executive officer Christophe Ramstein said a “smaller" version of the device will be ready for release to consumers next year.
32. What docs the Soundbeamer Product mainly feature?
A. Its various uses.
B. The application of 3-D technology.
C. An escape from other sounds around.
D. The absence of headphones for a listener.
33. How do the people on trial find the device?
A. Scientific. B. Fashionable.
C. Lifelike. D. Convenient.
34. What can a user do with the device?
A. Make sound pockets. B. Enjoy natural scenes.
C. Play games with friends. D. Produce a science fiction movie.
35. What will get improved about the device?
A. Its original idea. B. Its present size.
C. Its positioning ability. D. Its sound effect.

Thinking optimistically isn't simply about seeing the glass half-full. 36 Those who are optimistic may be more aware of the positives, but they also look for opportunities in the challenge which sometimes turn out to be positives. They choose flexible thinking - the kind that sees things from multiple perspectives, not only because it produces better results, but because it consistently makes them feel better. And they don't settle — instead of expecting more from those around them, they expect more from themselves. Here are three ways to teach yourself to think more optimistically:
37 .
Setbacks can often feel like there is nothing positive to be gained. However, setbacks, like any adversity（逆境）we face, presents a set of circumstances that demands our skills. 38 When you can teach yourself reframe setbacks in this way and look not to what is difficult, but what must be learned, you take a powerful step toward thinking more optimistically.
Use paradoxic
