25、 quite sure why.The herd has covered more than 500 kilometers since they wandered out of their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve, located in southwestern China along its border with Laos and Myanmar. Authorities in China have tried to keep the animals away from populated areas with p
26、iles of fruit and vegetables and physical barriers. The herd was spotted last week on the outskirts (郊区) of Kunming.“One potential explanation for the elephant migration is overcrowding in the nature reserve these animals once called home,” says George, an elephant specialist at Colorado State Unive
27、rsity. Asian elephants are endangered, only around 300 surviving in China, but the population living in the reserves of the Xishuangbanna region has been growing in recent years. George says this wayward (任性的) group might have set out to find a new home with less competition for resources.“Weve seen
28、 elephants expanding their range for decades now, as their populations increase, and they search for more food for the growing herd,” says Becky Chen, a conservation scientist at the Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. Other experts wonder if this is an example
29、of a herd being misled by an inexperienced leader, or if the decision to roam was an almost random choice.Authorities have instructed residents along the route to stay inside if the elephants are nearby and avoid disturbing the herd. If the animals cant be turned back to their former forested home,
30、scientists and land managers may need to make provisions (准备) for the elephants to live permanently in Kunming.Chen says she hopes the situation will raise awareness of human-elephant conflict and elephant conservation. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tole
31、rance,” she says. “How can we use this event to let everybody pay attention to coexistence between people and animals?”28. Which is the possible reason for elephant migration?A.

Life.DHave you ever got the thought or feeling that youre being watched? Well, guess what? You might be right.According to a study published in Nature on Ju
34、ne 23, astronomers have found that 1,715 stars have had a direct view of Earth since humans have been here.In order to do this, scientists used a previous method that looked for life on other planets.But instead, they changed the method so it could try to determine what places could see us.The team
35、looked at 331,312 stars within 326 light-years of Earth, with each light-year equaling 9.4 trillion kilometers. Out of all those stars, only 1,715 of them could see Earth within the last 5,000 years, with an extra 319 stars that will be able to see us in the next 5,000 years.“When I look up at the s

37、see that there is life here because of the oxygen on Earth. If that didnt give it away, then the radio waves we have sent out into space would also be an indicator ( 标 志 ). In fact, human-made radio waves have already traveled through 75 of the closest stars on Kalteneggers list.Why havent we heard
38、from anyone yet, then?It takes a long time for messages to travel between star systems. By the time a message could be received, that advanced civilization (文明) would probably not exist anymore.Alan Boss, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the US who wasnt part of the study, wrot

More than half of British airline pilots say they have fallen asleep during flight, a survey said yesterday.According to BALPA
87、, the British Airline Pilots Association, 300 out of 500 pilots surveyed admitted being asleep during work. And one third of these sleeping pilots said that they had woken up to find their co-pilot also asleep. Pilot exhaustion became the headlines and aroused public concern this week when a newspap
88、er reported two pilots on a British flight fell asleep, leaving the full plane traveling automatically in the air. The survey came before the European governments decide on the air rule changes.The rule changes would mean that pilots could work a total of 110 hours in a two-week period, more than th
89、e 95-hour limit under the current regulations and at night pilots could be expected to fly for up to 11 hours, against a current 10-hour limit.Many people are worried about the changes. Tiredness is already a major challenge for pilots who are deeply concerned that the new EU rules will increase levels of tiredness, which is believed to be the leading cause for air accidents, beating mechanical faults and natural threats such as storms or fogs.
