Mako sharks get new protections
At the global wildlife trade meeting in Geneva, countries have decided to protect the endangered mako shark from trade. GENEVA made the proposal (21) more protections should be taken for both short fin and longfin mako sharks and was adopted today after a 102-40 vote at the global wildlife trade summit. The vote still needs to be finalized at the full meeting at the end, when all appendix (附录)change proposals passed in committee are officially adopted.
The proposal, debated at this year's CITES Conference, lists mako sharks under Appendix TT, meaning that they can't be traded (22) it can be shown that fishing wouldn't threaten their chances for survival. Conservationists say this

Japan opposed the measure during the debates, and the United States announced afterward it (25) (vote) no. In the past, the U.S. and others have supported listing other shark species under CITES, but not so in this case, (26) commercial interests. For a lot of these countries, they were happy to list shark species when it was ones they weren't so heavily involved in fishing.

(A)
McCoy was looking fbr a safe place to do drugs when something clearly out of place caught his eye: a luxurious brown leather handbag.
McCoy, 36, could relate all too well. One of his few possessions, the sleeping bag he used in an abandoned house, had recently been stolen. Remembering how angered he'd been by his own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.
He began right away, starting with the address on the bill found in the handbag. After traveling much of the day and finally approaching the address on the bill, he was stopped by a woman, who asked whether she could buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for its owner. 6CBut T am the owner,\" the woman said. \"That's my purse.”
A month earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative fbr a medical device company, had woken up to find her apartment broken into and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall, messy-looking man holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasn't in good shape.
At Smith's urging, McCoy told her his story. He'd been in charge of a landscaping business until 2012, when a car accident left him addicted to drugs.
Smith, amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether there was anything she could do to help. 'Tm a drug addict,\" McCoy warned. \"I don't want to intrude on your life; I'm probably gonna let you down.,,
Unafraid, Smith gave him her phone number, saying, \"If you want to go to rehab (戒毒所)，call me.\" She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left, thinking that would be the end of it. Two days later, she got a call.
Smith realized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug into her savings account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. While there, he would call her to let her know how he was doing. C6We were getting to know each other,\" Smith says. \"His scared, desperate voice turned into a healthy, lively one.,, After 28 days at a rehab program at Johns Hopkins Hospital,

Though the spread of good reproduction （复制品）of works of art can be culturally valuable, museums continue to promote the special status of original work and highlight the authenticity （真实）of its exhibits. Unfortunately, this seems to place severe limitations on the kind of experience offered to visitors.
One limitation is related to the way the museum presents its exhibits. Art museums are often called \"treasure houses\". We are reminded of this even before we view a collection by the presence of security guards who keep us away from the exhibits. In addition, a major collection like that of London's National Gallery is housed in numerous rooms, where a single piece of work is likely to be worth more than all the average visitor possesses. Tn a society that judges the personal status of the individual so much by their material worth, it is therefore difficult not to be impressed by one's own relative \"worthlessness\" in such an environment.
Furthermore, consideration of the \"value\" of the original work in its treasure house setting impresses upon the viewer that since these works were originally produced, they have been assigned a huge value in terms of money by some person or institution more powerful than themselves. Evidently, nothing the viewer thinks about the work is going to alter that value, and so today's viewer is discouraged from trying to extend that spontaneous, immediate, self-reliant kind of interpretation which would originally have met the work.
The visitor may then be struck by the strangeness of seeing such a variety of paintings, drawings and sculptures brought together in an environment fbr which they were not originally created. This '\"displacement effect\" is further heightened by the huge volume of exhibits. In the case of a major collection, there are probably more works on display than we could realistically view in weeks or even months.
This is particularly distressing because time seems to be a vital factor in the appreciation of all art forms. A fundamental difference between paintings and other art forms is that there is no prescribed time over which a painting is viewed. Operas, novels and poems are read in a prescribed time sequence, whereas a picture has no clear place at which to start viewing, or at which to finish. Thus art works themselves encourage us to view them superficially, without appreciating the richness of detail and labor that is involved.
Consequently, the dominant critical approach becomes that of the art historian, a specialized academic approach devoted to \"discovering the meanmg,, of art within the cultural context of its time. This is in harmony with the museum's function, since the approach is dedicated to seeking out and conserving \"authentic\63. The writer mentions London's National Gallery to illustrate . . A. the undesirable cost to a nation of maintaining a huge collection of art B. the conflict that may arise in society between financial and artistic values C. the negative effect a museum can have on visitors5 opinion of themselves D. the need to put individual well-being above large-scale artistic schemes

66. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
A. Heart failure can by all means be cured by Vitamin D3. B. Changes in heart function were measured by ultrasound. C. Tn the others, who took placebo, there was no change in cardiac function. D. Participants were asked to take vitamin D3 or a placebo tablet for one year. E. Sunscreen will prevent people from absorbing more Vitamin D3 to a great extent. F. The finding could make a significant difference to the care of heart failure patients. Vitamin D3 Improve Heart Function
A daily dose of vitamin D3 improves heart function in people with heart failure, a five-year University of Leeds research project has found.
Dr. Klaus Witte, from the School of Medicine and Consultant Cardiologist at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, led the study. He said: \"This is a significant breakthrough for patients. It is the first evidence that vitamin D3 can improve heart function of people with heart muscle weakness -known as heart failure.,, 67
Vitamin D3 can be boosted by exposure to sunlight, but heart failure patients are often deficient in it even during the summer because older people make less vitamin D3 in response to sunlight than younger people. Vitamin D3 production in the skin is also reduced by sunscreen.
The study, which was funded by the Medical Research Council, involved more than 160 patients from Leeds who were already being treated for their heart failure using proven treatments including beta — blockers, ACE-inhibitors and pacemakers. 68 Those patients who took vitamin D3 experienced an improvement in heart function which was not seen in those who took a placebo.
69 Heart specialists measure heart function by taking an ultrasound scan of the heart and measuring how much blood pumps from the heart with each heartbeat, known as ejection fraction. The ejection fraction of a healthy person is usually between 60% and 70%. In heart failure patients, the ejection fraction is often significantly impaired 一 in the patients enrolled into the
第8页共15页
study the average ejection fraction was 26%.
In the 80 patients who took Vitamin D3, the heart's pumping function improved from 26% to 34%. 70 This means that for some heart disease patients, taking vitamin D3 regularly may lessen the need for them to be fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), a device which detects dangerous irregular heart rhythms and can shock the heart to restore a normal rhythm. TV. Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 -words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Social media and teens' anxiety
From cyber-bullying to cruel comments, social media can be a land mine for kids. Issues parents never worried about are now a risk fbr many teens. With kids' digital well-being a concern, researchers are exploring potential links between social media and the rise in teen suicide rates, tech addiction, and loss of real-life social skills. Many parents are wondering: Is social media causing my kid to have anxiety?
It's a question that worried parents. Some research has observed a relationship between social media use and anxiety in kids, but ifs difficult to know if and when social media causes anxiety or whether kids who are anxious turn to social media as a way to seek support. How kids use social media matters, too. Social comparison and feedback-seeking behaviors have been associated with depressive symptoms, which often co-occur with anxiety.
How can parents keep social media a positive fbr kids?
1. Seeing photos of a trip to the beach your friends didn't invite you to can really be upsetting. If your kid is tired of digital drama, suggest they take a break from social media fbr a while. In fact, if they post a status update that they're taking a break, their friends might be very accepting because they've had similar feelings.
2. People post stuff that makes their lives look perfect — not the homework struggles, or the fight they had with their dad. Remind kids that social media leaves the messy stuff out — and that everyone has ups and downs.
3. In a world where kids could spend their days lying around looking at Wechat, it's doubly important for them to feel as though they're cultivating their inner lives. Prompt them to balance social media with soul-nourishing activities such as hobbies, exercise, reading, and helping others. Otherwise, what are they going to show off about on social media?

When children start school for the very first time, parents often feel a sense of excitement together with a touch of sadness. This is the start of a new adventure for children playing and interacting with new friends sharing, taking turns and settling into a new routine.
But of course, this is not the start of children's education, which in fact began at birth. Back then, parents would have been their children's most influential teachers. During this time at home, a child would have learned more than at any other period in his life. During children's first year in school much time will be spent in learning to read and they need to know that this is fun and worthwhile. Children will naturally copy parents so it is important that parents are seen reading and enjoying books, newspapers and magazines rather than just absorbed in screens. Ultimately an excellent education should be a close partnership between parents and teachers. A child's year splits fairly neatly into thirds: a 3rd at school, a 3rd asleep and a third awake at home or on holiday.
Regardless of the quality of a school, a child's home life is of key importance. It is the determining factor of their academic success. A child may have started on a new journey but his parents5 work is far from finished.
