Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming sea life.

Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for almost two decades. “We've been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long?term change in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we've been able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean.”

Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact on shellfish and coral in particular.

“As carbon dioxide dissolves in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic acid，” Dore explains. “And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the PH down, and makes it more acidic.”

The seawater samples Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirm what the theory predicts.

The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.

“It's important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It's potentially catastrophic.”

A．Climate Change Affecting Seawater

B．Oceans Becoming More Acidic

a．Sea life is endangered.

b．CO2 goes into the surface water.

c．The ocean chemistry is affected.

d．CO2 decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic.

e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up.

Engineers should embrace（接受） the arts，Sir John O'Reilly，a fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology，argued in a lecture．

About 59% of engineering companies in the IET's 2014 survey feared skill shortages could threaten（威脅） business．

"There is nothing as creative as engineering," Sir John told the reporter．He says science，technology，engineering and mathematics - often known as "Stem" subjects，are vital for a modern knowledge economy．But there is a massive shortfall in the number of recruits（招聘） - with a recent study by the Royal Academy of Engineering saying the UK needs to increase by as much as 50% the number of Stem graduates it produces．

Delivering this year's Mountbatten Lecture at the Royal Institution，Sir John argued that engineers should recognise the role of the arts in their work - among other benefits; this could attract more people into the profession．The lecture，F(xiàn)ull Steam Ahead for Growth，advocated a wider adoption -- Steam，or science，technology，engineering，arts and maths．Engineers should embrace the arts as being key to creativity and an important component of innovation（創(chuàng)新），crucial to creating new products and boosting future competitiveness，he argued． "Engineering and technology is an increasingly diverse and creative field," said Sir John．

Some university engineering departments already cooperated with art schools to develop understanding，he told the reporter．In particular he mentioned Cranfield University's Centre for Creative Competitive Design and Imperial College's work with the Royal College of Art．The two sets of people could work well together and more emphasis on the creative side of engineering could improve the success of products，he said．

"Aesthetics(美學(xué)) is part of it," he told the reporter，adding that Apple's iPod was not the first digital media player，nor the only one that worked - but it came to dominate the market "because it was nice to have"．

Sir John said he was not suggesting universities started requiring A-level art from engineering applicants - the key subjects for admission would continue to be maths and the sciences．But an emphasis on creative skills would help "broaden the pool and attract more people in"．

1.According to a recent study by the Royal Academy _______ ．

A． skill shortages could threaten business

B． engineering graduates are not as creative as expected

C． there are not enough arts graduates produced in the UK．

D． the UK needs more graduates in science，technology，engineering and mathematics

2.According to the lecture Full Steam Ahead for Growth，_______ ．

A． engineers should cooperate with arts majors

B． Accepting the arts could attract more people into engineering

C． engineers should realize arts play the most important part in their work

D． engineering and technology is as diverse and creative as before

3.By giving the example of Apple's iPod，Sir John intends to _______ ．

A． stress the importance of arts

B． stress the importance of marketing

C． stress the importance of communication

D． stress the importance of science and technology

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A． More university students should study arts instead of engineering．

B． Engineering and technology is increasingly different and unrelated fields．

C． The IET's skills survey raised concerns about the number of recruits to engineering．

D． Students from some university engineering departments have already transferred to art schools

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A． Lack of creativity makes it difficult for the engineering major to find a satisfactory job．

B． The key subjects for engineering majors remain to be maths and the sciences rather than arts．

C． University engineering departments should cooperate with art schools to improve the success of products．

D． Engineering needs to emphasize its creative side to encourage more young people to choose it as a career．

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

The stories we share with one another are important． They show wisdom and provide inspiration． They are important to our development． But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told． Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle．When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside． And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy． It displays we are human． We are not perfect or better． It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development． Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely． But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not．There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A． It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

B． It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C． It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D． It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.

A． story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B． people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C． people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

D． some stories make themselves feel uneasy

3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?

A． freed B． broken C． unfolded D． untouched

4.The writer aims to convince us to _______.

A． be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B． share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C． remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D． realize the importance of being honest when making friends

Does happiness have a scent?

When someone is happy，can you smell it?

You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．

For the study，12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．

Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．

Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．

“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，” said study co-author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．

This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．

Researchers have yet to isolate(分離) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented． Scent therapies（香味療法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．

Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．

1.What is the main finding of the new research?

A． Men produce more sweats．

B． Negative emotions have a smell．

C． Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．

D． Women have a better sense of smell．

2.The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________．

A． Avoid

B． Practice

C． Continue

D． try

3.What is the application value of the new research?

A． Perfumes could help people understand each other．

B． Some smells could be developed to better our mood．

C． Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．

D． Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ________．

A． happiness comes from a scent of sweat

B． positive energy can deepen understanding

C． people need more emotional communication

D． social surroundings can influence our emotions
