Exploring Antarctica

An important scientific expedition in 1958 took hundreds of scientists to Antarctica, which is a large continent at the southern tip of the earth, and surrounds the South Pole, and most of which is covered by snow and ice. The great ice sheet goes on and on. At some places in Antarctica the ice is more than three miles thick. The Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans ring the continent.

The expedition in 1958 was part of International Geophysical year（IGY：地球物理年）, which is the name given to a world-wide scientific research program, that more than 5 000 scientists took part in. Actually, the IGY lasted 18 months—not for just a year. A part of its research is still going on.

Geophysics is the science of the earth and atmosphere. “Geo” is earth and “physics” is the part of science that deals with matter and motion（运动）—not with plants and animals.

The survey was conducted for Common Sense Media, a nonprofit organization devoted to helping families find the right way to deal withthe world of media and technology.
Ninety-two percent of parents said they are concerned that children share too much information online, and 85 percent said they are more concerned about online privacy than they were five years ago. In other findings, Common Sense Media found that 68% of parents are not at all confident in search engines keeping their private information safe and secure and 71% of parents said the same about social networking sites.
The survey found a great deal of concern about the online geo-location services which find and show the exact position of somebody through the net. Ninety-one percent of parents said search engines and social networking sites should not be able to share the physical location of children with other companies unless the parents approve.
“The survey results present a clear divide between the industry’s view of privacy and the opinion of parents and kids,” Common Sense Media CEO and founder James Steyer said.
