Last spring I talked to a particularly patient and helpful salesman at the local cellphone store about h
ow to access international rvice, since I was headed to Zurich, Switzerland, in June. He was excited and told me his grandfather came from Bal.
“If I get there,” I promid, “I’ll nd you a postcard.”
I’m not sure whether he knew what a postcard was, nor do I remember the last time I nt a postcard. The last one I received, I know, was a lonely one posted by friends visiting Africa a few years ago. They were back a good two months before their card fell into my mailbox, looking as if it might have walked and swum the distance on its own.
Postcards filled my childhood and early adulthood. I nt plenty of them home and to friends on my ravels and collected scores from all comers of the globe. Places I’d been or hadn’t, it didn’t really matter.
But who nds postcards anymore? What do postcards matter when you can e any place with the Internet?
圆脸女孩适合的短发By his expression, I knew my cellphone customer reprentative wasn’t expecting me to follow through. And I didn’t, the following June, for I failed to find s single postcard of Bal in Zurich. But th
en I went to Bal in September and I cho and nt two postcards in care of my acquaintance（相识的人）there.
Over the next few months, I wondered if he’d gotten them, but I had no reason to visit the store until today, when I couldn’t manage some of my smartphone’s sound ttings. And there he was. He didn’t recognize me at first, but once I realized it was him I asked, “Did you get the postcards from Bal?”
He looked at me with fresh and astonished eyes. “Oh, it’s you! I’ve got them posted in my room. My mom loves them, too. I never thought you were rious.”
That’s one reliable customer-relations bond followed through thanks to two small postcards from a grandfather’s birthplace.

Back in the 1960s, a Harvard graduate student made a great discovery about human anger. At age 34, Jean Briggs was allowed to live in an Inuit community where many Inuit families lived a traditional life.
Briggs quickly realized something unusual was going on in the families. “They never got angry with me, and even showing a bit of anger was considered weak and childlike,”Briggs said. For example, once when someone

knocked a hot pot of tea across the igloo（冰屋）, damaging the ice floor, no one changed their look. “Too bad”, the person just said calmly and went to refill the teapot.
Briggs wrote up her obrvations in her book, Never in Anger. But she was left with questions: How do Inuit parents teach their children his ability? How do the Inuit turn angry babies into cool-headed adults?
After reading Briggs’ book, in early December I came to the Arctic town of Iqaluit, Canada, which is an Inuit town, in arch of parenting wisdom, especially when it comes to teaching children to control their feelings. Right off the plane, I started collecting data.
I sat with the elders in their 80s and 90s. I talked with moms. And I attended a local parenting class. All the moms mentioned one golden rule: Don’t shout or yell at small children, for it is a tradition among the Inuit to e yelling at a small child as shameful.
The elders I spoke with said colonization（殖民）over the past century is harming the convention, so the community is working hard to keep their parenting methods. Goota Jaw, who teaches the parenting class at Nunavut Arctic College, is in the front line of this effort. “Shouting is not how we teach our children,” Jaw said. “It is just teaching them to run away.”
“When we shout at a child, we’re raining the child to shout,” said author Laura Markham. “Parents who control their own anger are helping their children learn to do the same.”
28. What did Briggs find about the Inuit?
A. They often behaved like children.
B. They began to lead a modern lifestyle.
C. They developed a habit of drinking tea.
D. They were quite able to control their anger.
29. Why did the author go to Iqaluit?
A. To study how Brigs wrote Never in Anger.
B. To attend a class about the history of the Inuit.
C. To find out how the Inuit rai cool-headed kids.
D. To collect data on education in Inuit communities.
30. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 6?
A. conversation.
B. tradition.
C. trade.
D. organization.
31. Which would Markham most probably agree with?
A. Kids follow the example of parents.
B. Teaching kids to be angry is necessary.
C. Parents often learn parenting from their kids.
D. It is sometimes OK to speak to kids riously.
D
Areas with LED streetlights have fewer moth caterpillars（蛾幼虫）living clo to the light, possibly having huge effects on an area’s wildlife ecosystem.
“We don’t think of light pollution as being as big a driver of biodiversity loss as climate change,” says Douglas Boyes at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. “But that doesn’t mean it’s not a main factor”.
Earlier rearch about the effects of man-made light looked at adult incts like moths, which are able to move around and could be counted twice. Moth caterpillars hardly move more than a few metres in their lifetimes, meaning it is easier to be more exact in measuring light’s influence on them.
Boyes and other rearchers ud Google Maps and Google Street View to find parts of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire in the UK where there were pairs of habitat areas that appeared similar, except that one had streetlights while the other didn’t.
They then counted the number of caterpillars in each 14-metre-long habitat by beating the hedgerows（灌木树篱）and brushing grass margins, finding about eight different species of moth caterpillars. The learn also noted the type of streetlight—whether it was an LED light or an older, yellow, sodium lamp（钠灯）—and the strength of light it produced.
Sites where street lighting was prent had 47 percent fewer caterpillars in the hedgerows and 33 percent fewer caterpillars in the grass margins. LED lights had a greater effect than sodium lamps.
Having a lower number of caterpillars is expected to have effects on future moth number and on other wildlife nearby. Small birds and some incts feed on the caterpillars, while larger birds and bats feed on adult moths.
Heather Campbell at Harper Adams University in the UK says the rearch is helpful for people to know the reasons why incts become smaller in number. “What is really clear from the discussion is how much influence the different types of light are having, with LEDs eming to be wor for caterpillars,” she says.
32. What does Boyes say in paragraph 2?
A. Caterpillars are in danger of dying out.
B. Light pollution may harm biodiversity.
C. Many incts may like light very much.
D. Light pollution is as rious as climate change.
