The San Diego Zoo is celebrating an extreme rare event:the arrival of 41 Indian narrow-headed softshell turtles.This is the first time the species,which is native to South Asia,has been successfully bred(繁殖)in North America.
   The turtles typically live at the bottom of deep rivers and streams in northern India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,and Nepal.Adults can grow up to 3.6 feet long and weigh as much as 440 pounds.During monsoon(季風)months in central India and dry months in other regions,the turtles lay up to 190 eggs in a nest on the beach and cover it with dirt to protect the eggs.When the babies hatch,they can fit in a person's palm,at 1.5 inches long.
   The San Diego Zoo got its first two Indian narrow-headed softshell turtles in 1997.The zoo planned to breed them and hoped to learn more about the species,whose numbers had begun to drop due to pollution,destruction of their habitats,and capture by humans for their eggs,meat,or use as pets.The species is listed as endangered,and researchers don't know how many remain in the wild.
   After learning that it only had female turtles,the zoo added a male to the habitat in 2001.Staff have been waiting for over 20 years to see if the turtles would breed.This summer,zookeepers found four nests in the enclosure.They hatched1 11 turtles in August.Then,in September,staff members found 30 more tiny turtles in a nest they hadn't noticed. "They are kind of cute, "said Kim Gray,head of the zoo.
   The babies were moved to an indoor habitat where they can be protected and studied.The zoo plans to give about a half of the baby turtles to other zoos and aquariums that want to help protect the species. "This is a thrilling moment for us, " Gray said, "and a big step forward in the preservation of this species. "

  • 1."An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Similarly,if we drink a little more water every day,we may find that we need to go to the doctor less often.A healthy diet is made up of water and different kinds of foods.We know that healthy foods like fruits,vegetables and fish ,are important as they offer energy and fiber,without giving us much fat and sugar.But why is water important?
       The human body needs water to survive.Water is important as it carries poisons and waste out of our bodies.However,doctors advise us to drink plenty of water ,much more than the small amount we need to stay alive.
       Some doctors believe that water is important for health in all kinds of ways.They believe that many illnesses and health problems appear as a result of dehydration--a lack of water.Most people are dehydrated (脫水)at least some of time,although they probably don't know it.It is surprising to learn that if we feel thirsty,we are already in the first stages of dehydration.In fact,we are advised to drink water before we feel thirsty.
       These doctors think that health problems such as headaches,high blood pressure could be helped if people drink more water.They also believe that drinking more water can help people who are fat.Water contains no calories so it will not make us gain weight.If we drink water ,we will probably drink less sugary soft drinks.Doctors also believe that drinking more water may stop people from overeating.They say that many people think that they are hungry when they are,in fact,thirsty.Doctors suggest,therefore,that we eat less food and drink more water.
       There are still many health problems that cannot be solved by drinking water,so we should not stop going to see the doctor completely.

  • 3.    Popular destinations have seen an increase in incidents involving tourists in recent years.Reports of a man damaging the Colosseum in Rome (羅馬圓形大劇場) show that behavior has worsened even in places that rarely had problems in the past.
        What's behind these acts?One answer is social media.Instagram and TikTok have made it easy to find"hidden diamond"restaurants and discover new destinations to add to your travel list.But this way of travel planning has had other consequences.
        It is known as social proof when we look to the behaviors of others to justify our own actions.Now,travelers also look to social media for proof of how others behave while they go pleasure-seeking on vacations.If others are throwing caution to the wind while on vacation,this can cause a domino(多米諾) effect of bad behavior.
        Besides,because tourists are often sheltered in hotels away from local communities,they might wrongly think that traveling to a place far from home is an opportunity for consequence-free bad behavior.They underestimate or ignore the effect their actions can have on local communities.
        In response to tourist misbehavior,the island of Bali,a famous tourist destination in Indonesia,introduced new guidelines for visitors in June 2023.These include rules about proper behavior in the protected temples,around the island and with locals,and respecting the natural environment.
        Tourists now need a license to rent motorbikes,and can not set foot on any mountain or volcano in Bali due to the nature-protection laws.Besides,travelers must only stay in registered hotels,which will impact a number of Airbnb properties.
        Other destinations have taken similar steps.Iceland,Hawaii,and Costa Rica have required visitors to obey local laws and custom.Where such efforts aren't successful,some places such as Thailand's famous Maya Bay have taken it further and fully closed to tourists,at least temporarily.

    (1)What is a reason behind what tourists have done in recent years?

    A.They misjudge the results.
    B.They needn't obey the rules.
    C.They're misled by the locals.
    D.They can't accept the custom.
    (2)What does"throwing caution to the wind"in paragraph 3 mean?

    A.Acting immediately.
    B.Exploring bravely.
    C.Wandering aimlessly.
    D.Behaving wildly.
    (3)What can tourists do in Bali from June 2023 on?

    A.Visit a temple with respect.
    B.Climb up the volcano.
    C.Rent motorbikes as wished.
    D.Stay in an Airbnb house.
    (4)Why do the tourist destinations take measures against the tourists?

    A.To reduce the influence of social media.
    B.To set a limit on the number of visitors.
    C.To restrict tourists' improper behavior.
    D.To prevent tourists from being injured.
