24、continents northern coast. Soon they would be eating freshly caught fish and seafood cooked under the stars on an open fire, as their ancestors did. The Rangers are of more than 100 Indigenous groups spread across Australia who have taken on the job of protecting the land of their forefathers. In Ar
25、nhem Land, they are the protectors of 3,300 square miles of land and sea. They comb the beaches by hand, picking up as much rubbish as possible. The task is very difficult as each day it delivers waves of new rubbish. For the Rangers, cleaning the beaches is more than a vacation. For a people whose

In recent years, the government has restored more than 20 percent of Australias land to Indigenous owners. Since 2007, the Indigeno
28、us Rangers Organizations have been at work protecting this land. Luck, one of the few non-Indigenous employees working with the Rangers, said the combination of old and new techniques and an appreciation for the culture of Indigenous workers has been critical to the programs success. “You are workin

DIt is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more
33、 thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But theres more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a persons lifespan(寿命) by 23 percentabout 12 years for the people involved in the study.The study was led by a group of researc
34、hers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people，both men and women but all older than 50.The researchers divided them into three categories：those who didnt read books；those who read up to 3.5 hours a week；those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.After the researchers adjusted for factors like ed
35、ucation，health and income，the data showed that，on average，those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die.In addition，the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers，but only if they spent mo
36、re than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines，they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. Avni Bavishi，the studys leader，said，“We believe people need to know，learn and understand more things when t
37、hey are reading books，because theyre longer and there are more characters，more plots to follow，and more connections to make.”From all of this，the authors concluded that，as with a healthy diet and exercise，books appear to promote a “significant survival advantage”.Clearly，there is a need for more stu
