21、Sharks aren't the scariest things in the ocean for scientists who dive to work. Powerful currents, created where the ocean floor drops away, can be just as deadly. “You can get sucked down by the pressure within minutes, ” notes Marcel Jaspars. He's a chemist who once saved himself from such a current. He came across it while taking photos of a sea sponge near Indonesia, in Southeast Asia. Luckily, he inflated his dive vest in time. He was able to float to the surface and escape the potentially deadly current.
Diving has risks. But the scientists who work underwater are trained to deal with these dangers. For Jaspars, the rewards of research and underwater adventure are greater than the risks. He searches for unusual chemicals made by ocean life. Then he analyzes them for components that might serve as medicines for people.
The sea may seem like a strange place to look for new drugs. But organisms (生物体)in the ocean have had to adapt to a tough environment. Some of the chemicals they make for survival might help people, too. More than 50 years ago, scientists discovered a new anti-cancer drug in a sea sponge. Since then, researchers have been hunting the seas for more of such useful natural products.
With the help of underwater robots and small submarines(潜水艇),Jaspars and other scientists are searching the seas— from the shallow to the oceans' great depths. Their goal: finding chemicals made by marine life for use in one day treating human disease.
Now Jaspars directs the Marine Biodiscovery Center. It's at the University of Aberdeen, in Scotland. There he focuses on microbes (微生物)living in very cold environments, such as the Arctic Ocean. “It's too cold and deep to dive there,” he says. So scientists on research ships pull up buckets of mud from the seafloor. Later, they send him small samples of what they've pulled up.
【1】Why is Jaspars' experience mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.To advise ways of surviving in the sea.
B.To explain his ability and luck in the sea.
C.To show the danger of deadly current to divers.
D.To tell us the value of his underwater adventure.
【2】What does the author think of Jaspars' research and underwater adventure?
A.Secure.
B.Unique.
C.Unbearable.
D.Rewarding.
【3】What's the purpose of Jaspars' searching the seas?
A.To find chemicals for new medicines.
B.To study all kinds of ocean creatures.
C.To be trained to deal with ocean dangers.
D.To look for new medicines for marine life.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.The risks of searching the seas
B.Risky diving for new medicines
C.The most dangerous things in the sea
D.Jaspars, a chemist inventing medicines
22、At just 19 years old, Arik Ancelin is making a name for himself in the rapping (说唱表演) world, which he hopes will pave the way for fellow artists with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) like himself. He has already seen plenty of success with his first three albums as well as his TikTok. But Arik’s latest victory may be the biggest one yet: a co-operation with producer and vocalist DJ Nitti Gritti.
The song they created together is called “True Colors”. This true labor of love focuses on the beauty of being different and encourages listeners to follow their dreams no matter what. “It makes me feel happy because I do want a lot of people to hear that message,”Arik said. “I just want them to take this away. You can be different. I want you to be feeling good today. I just want you to be pursuing your dreams.”
To celebrate the recent release of their song, Arik and DJ Nitti had the amazing opportunity to perform it together at an Orlando nightclub, something that was an absolute dream for the up-and-coming rapper.
In addition to being a huge fan of Arik’s, DJ Nitti also wanted to cooperate with him because of his love for his own cousin, who has autism (自闭症). “It’s actually very close to my heart to be able to work on music, especially with someone with a disability. And, to treat everyone equally,” DJ Nitti said. “It’s a message that is right up my path, and it means a lot to him to sing about it. So, I wanted to help him get his message out.”
In just a short period of time, DJ Nitti has been able to do just that, helping Arik get one step closer to his dreams. “I want to be one of the biggest disability rappers,” Arik said, “and I want to be an inspiration to all types of people.”
We can’t wait to cheer him on as he does just that! Listen to part of their song in the video below, and don’t forget to share this story with friends to lift their spirits today.

24、 Kids are born with emotional reactions such as crying, frustration, hunger and pain. But they learn about other emotions as they grow older. Babies are essentially guided by emotions pre-wired into their brains. For instance, their cries are usually an attempt to avoid unpleasant things or to move towards pleasant ones (food, touch, hugs). Listening to recordings of play songs can maintain six-to nine-month-old babies in a relatively contented or neutral(中性的)state considerably longer than recordings of infant-directed or adult-directed speech.
By the time they turn one, toddlers(幼童)begin to understand that certain emotions are associated with certain situations. At this age, parents can talk to kids about emotions and encourage them to name those emotions. By the time they turn two, kids are able to adopt strategies to deal with difficult emotions. Helping toddlers avoid distressing situations or distracting them from those situations is one of the most effective emotion-regulation strategies.
Kids experience many emotions during the childhood years. Many secondary emotions come into play at this age as a child’s emotions are either validated(验证的)or invalidated, influencing future emotional reactions. Emotion regulation is not just about expressing emotions in a socially appropriate manner. It is a process that involves teaching children to identify emotions, helping them identify what triggers(引起)those emotions, and teaching them to manage those emotions by themselves. Modeling appropriate behavior is also important during the childhood years. The best way to teach your child to react to anger appropriately is to show her how.
Ultimately, helping kids manage their emotions begins by validating those emotions and providing an environment in which they feel safe to express them. As several studies have shown, kids who feel safe are more likely to develop and use appropriate emotion regulation skills to deal with difficult feelings.
【1】Which of the following is got when one is born?
A.The ability to cry and feel pain.
B.The ability to name some emotions.
C.All the other emotions besides crying.
D.All the secondary emotions of humans.
【2】When do people understand the relation between emotions and situations?
A.Before they are born.
B.As soon as they are born.
C.When they are one year old.
D.After they come into childhood.
【3】How can a child learn to react to emotions best?
A.By learning on their own.
B.By seeing and copying their parents.
C.Through studying and living at school.
D.Through talking to children of the same age.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.The Process of a Child’s Growth.
B.Emotions That Children May Have.
C.A New Study about Children’s Emotions.
D.An Age-by-age Guide to Helping Kids Manage Emotions.
