In Costa Rica, one big中rest is poachers(偷猎者)-people who take the eggs illegally in order to sell them.Kim Williams-Guillen is a scientist who works for the University of Michigan and Paso Pacifico, a group that works to protect animals in Costa Rica. After watching a couple of TV po
29、lice shows, she suddenly had an idea- what if poachers could be located using a fake(假的) turtle egg with a GPS tracker inside?Dr. Williams-Guillen then worked with other scientists to create the fake egg. They used a special material known as Ninjaflex to 3D-print a ball about the size and shape of
30、a real turtle egg. The inside of the egg was a device like a small cell phone with a battery, and a GPS. As long as it had a cell signal, the egg could report its location once an hour. The researchers called the finished device the InvestEGGator.The researchers carried out an actual field test with
31、 these GPS-enabled eggs by placing them with the real ones in 101 different turtle nests on the beaches in Costa Rica. They wanted to track illegal poaching routes and activities.

33、. It really must be used in the context of a multi-pronged conservation approach that uses education, building better economic opportunities, and enforcement to help fight sea turtle egg poaching.

36、Which opinion does Kim Williams-Guillen probably agree with?A. Further efforts are needed to protect the sea turtle.B. The fake eggs are the best way to catch the poachers.C. People should stop buying and eating the sea turtle eggs.D. More reserves should be built for the endangered species.DTheres

Studies suggest that a simple walk in the woods can lead to better sleep and lower stress and living near green space can even help you live longer. But not everyone lives near a park or easily gets outdoors
38、. Now a new study finds that a virtual(虚拟)nature experience can have some of the same effects.In the study, researchers from the University of Exeter in the U.K, wanted to see if the same positive impacts of being out in nature would translate to experiencing nature virtually.

66、es coming from the upstairs game room and decided to investigate. She discovered that our son, Hunter, had been playing the video game Fortnite since he got home from school the previous day. What she found angered both of us.We were sick and tired of the amount of time Hunter spent playing video ga
67、mes. He would often sleep until 1:00 or 2:00 pm. on Saturdays because he stayed up playing game until 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.Driven to break this habit, we tried several different approaches, like limiting the time he was allowed to play each day, but we couldnt find anything that worked consis

I put no limit on the number of miles our son could run in a day, so technically the only limit to the amount of time he played was based on how far he decided to run.The first couple of days didnt go very well. Eventually Hunter came around, and the temptation of playing games was too much.
