【题目】Clean Your Cup

I recently started a new job in a small office, where four of us shared a fridge. In that fridge is a Brita water filter pitcher(布里塔水过滤器). One of my1(colleague) complained(抱怨) the water tasted "dirty". It went on for a few days. She suggested that the water should2(test) out. She was3(surprise) that I could drink the water without any trouble. I started to doubt my taste, but the water really tasted fine.

Finally, she became aware that the problem was4(actual) her cup. She simply forgot to clean it for a long time,5affected the water inside it. She cleaned her cup, and drank the water with no problem.

I can’t help but look at this, and reflect on the world we live in. Too often we quickly blame other people, other things, anything else6ourselves. The world isn’t perfect, but I think we should take a step back sometimes and ask7(we) some tough questions. Can I be better? Is my heart really pure?

【题目】Biros have been observed to sleep while in flight for the first time ever. Because of some flights that can often last several days, weeks, or even longer, some sea birds have long been thought of being able to fall fully asleep while “on the wing”, though it was not proven.

Now researchers say they have evidence which shows birds can sleep in flight. Scientists from Max Planck Institute used a sample of 15 adult female frigatebirds(军舰鸟) to test the sleep patterns. Each bird had a small electroencephalogram(EEG脑电图) sensor fitted to record changes in the animals’ brain activity as they flew for up to 10 days and over 3,000 kilometres.

The readings showed that during flight the birds could sleep using one hemisphere of the brain, or both together. It was known that frigatebirds could sleep with one “half” of the brain, which allows them to keep one eye open and “connected” to the awake half.

According to the research, it is sleeping technique used by birds for finding directions. “Frigatebirds sleep mostly while circling in rising air and keep the eye connected to the awake hemisphere facing the direction of flight, suggesting that they watch where they are going,” says the study.

Despite the ability to fall “fully” asleep, the birds were found to do it less in the air compared to one land. They slept “very little and less deeply while in flight. This suggests that though it is possible, falling totally asleep is not very good during flight which will need the bird’s attention.

The researchers said the short sleep could be serving as “power naps” to keep the birds going until they return to land. Further study could help us understand why lack of sleep affects humans so badly.
