based
on
the
maximum
speed of flashes of light an individual can see before the light source is seen as constant. Dogs, for

One example of this phenomenon at work, the authors say, is the housefly and its ability to
avoid being hit. The research showed flies
can achieve,
Professor Graeme Ruxton of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, who worked jointly on
the research project, said in a statement,
higher frequencies than our eyes do is of no value if the brain cannot process that information
equally
quickly.
Thus,
this
work
highlights
the
impressive
abilities
of

In

If
you
wear
glasses,
chances
are
you
are
smarter.
Research
published
in
the
famous
British
journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence
were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.
The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and
study
showed
intelligence
can
be
connected
to
physical
characteristics.
One
characteristic
was
eyesight. In out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed
glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.
It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call
this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of
those
things
caused
the
other.
And
it's
worth
noting
that
what
constitutes
intelligence
is
subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.
Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more
intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear
glasses
are
seen
as
smarter,
hard- working
and
honest. Many
lawyers
use
this
idea
to
help
win
their
cases.
Lawyer
Harvey
Solves
explained
this.
Glasses
soften
their
appearance.
He
said
sometimes there has been a huge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke
the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren't found guilty.
Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people
who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for
fashion
only.
They
want
to
look
worldly
or
cool.
But
not
everyone
is
impressed
by
this
idea,
though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart
and
hip
(
时髦的
). However,
that
hasn't
stopped
many celebrities
from
happily wearing
glasses
even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high- profile fan of fashion glasses.
(

What does the new study show?
A. People wearing glasses are smarter.
B. People wearing glasses are healthier.
C. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer.
D. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.

What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Shift.

C. Proof.

Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?
A. Because it can create a moral image. B. Because it can mislead the witnesses.

Antarctica has become one of the world's most popular tourist destinations. Since 1969, the
average number of visitors to the continent has increased from several hundred to over 34,000

protection

the
industry
is

managed
by
the
International
Association
of
Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO).
The first expedition (
探险
) to Antarctica with travelers was in 1966, led by Swedish explorer
Lars Eric Lindblad. He wanted to give tourists first-hand experience of the ecological sensitivity of
the Antarctic environment, in order to educate them and promote a greater understanding of the

world.
In
1969,
Lindblad
built
the
world's
first
expedition
ship,
the
MS
Lindblad Explorer, which was specifically designed to transport tourists to Antarctica.
In 1977, both Australia and New Zealand started to offer scenic flights to Antarctica through
Qantas and Air New Zealand. The flights often flew to the continent without landing and returned
to the departure airport. The experience was an average 12 to 14 hours with up to 4 hours of
flying directly over the continent. The flights from Australia and New Zealand stopped in 1980. It
was
largely
due
to
the
Air
New
Zealand
Flight
901
accident
on
November
28,
1979.
In
1994,
flights to Antarctica continued again.
Despite
the
potential
dangers
and
risks,
trips
to
Antarctica
continued
to
grow.
According
to
IAATO, 34,354 travelers visited the continent between 2012 and 2013. Americans contributed to
the largest share with 10,677 visitors, or 31.1%, followed by Germans 11.1%, Australians 10.7%,
and the British 10.2%. The rest of the visitors were from China, Canada, Switzerland, France and
elsewhere.
The
cost
of
a
trip
to
Antarctica
can
range
from
as
little
as
$$3,000-$$4,000
to
over
$$40,000,
depending on the scope of transportation, housing, and activity needs. The higher end packages
typically involve air transport, on- site camping, and a visit to the South Pole.

I have three kids and a great husband and I'm enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun.
This feels like
who I truly am. Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be.
So I booked a trip to find out. I travelled, for the first time, without my husband or kids. I went
to Iceland with a friend, who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence.
For six days, we were immersed in wild, raw scenery and real weather
—
all kinds of weather.
Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal reminds you how little
you actually need. And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes.
I found silence in Iceland
,
and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside
of kids as I shared stories with strangers.
When I stopped talking and just listened
,
I became more generous. I 1earned that choosing to
be generous can create more space, more food and more warmth.
But I didn't really gain any better appreciation of what I want from life or my job. I suspect the
anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude
and joy
,
and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.
I came home to noise
,
rush and love; with no less confusion on who I want to be. I know the
answer isn't waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland. The answer is in front of me
with every step on my own 1ife's path, and in every choice I make.
