The world's nights are getting surprisingly brighter. This is bad news for all kinds of creatures, including humans － as light pollution is becoming worse, taking away the darkness of night almost everywhere.

Satellite* observations* made by researchers show Earth's artificially-lit* outdoor area grew by 2% a year from 2012 to 2016. So did night time brightness. Light pollution was even worse than that, according to the German-led team, because satellites cannot observe some of the LED lighting, especially blue light.

"Honestly, I had hoped that with LEDs we were improving the situation, for this new lighting technology has been developed to use less energy. But it turns out quite disappointing. ", said Kyba, the lead author of the study.

"Asia, Africa and South America, for the most part, have seen an increase in artificial night lighting. The cities in developing nations are brightening quite rapidly. Other bright places include greenhouses in the Netherlands and areas of agriculture. More and more places are fixing outdoor lighting because of its low cost and the growth in communities' wealth," the scientists said.

One of the co-authors, Franz Holker of the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries in Berlin, said things were already in a terrible situation.

"Many people are using light at night without really thinking about the cost," Holker said. "Not just the economic cost, but also the cost that you have to pay for environmental damage."

The effect from the increasing artificial light is obvious, according to the researchers. People's sleep can be marred, which in turn can hurt their health. The life of birds, fish, insects and bats can be harmed. Plants can have longer growing periods. And people may forget about seeing stars or the Milky Way if the light pollution continues.

Kyba and his team suggest avoiding bright lights whenever possible and using more useful ways to shine light on places such as parking lots or city streets. For example, dim, closely spaced lights can provide better visibility than bright lights that are more spread out.

1.Why is light pollution becoming worse according to the passage?

A.Because LED lighting gives off blue light.

B.Because there is increasing artificial lighting.

C.Because people can pay for the electricity bill for home.

D.Because scientists didn't suggest avoiding artificial lighting.

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.We can use bright lights in city streets.

B.LED lighting can help reduce light pollution.

C.Maybe we can't see the stars because of light pollution.

D.The cities in developing nations don't fix outdoor lighting.

3.What does the underlined word "marred" probably mean?

A.recorded B.controlled C.improved D.influenced

4.What's the best title of the passage?

A.The Disadvantages of LEDs B.Brighter Nights Are Dangerous

C.What Causes Light Pollution D.Ways to Reduce Light Pollution

You are in the shopping mall and see a lady trying to open the door with bags in both hands. You help her open the door. “Thank you!” she says warmly.1.　

The most widely-used reply is “You’re welcome”. This is what you might have learned in your textbook. It is formal. So you’ll hear the shopping assistant reply with this – and hopefully with a smile, too!2.

While the textbook is correct, there are other good choices as well. That’s because spoken English is quite informal (非正式的). More common replies these days include “No problem”. 3. It’s also common when you’ve helped someone with a favor − for example, helping someone move a heavy box. It means it wasn’t difficult to give a helping hand. “Sure thing” is another popular reply.

4. If you’re speaking with an Australian friend, they might say “no worries”. Americans like using “Sure” or “It’s fine”.

However, 5.So try these phrases and find the reply that suits your own style.

A.Another formal reply is “my pleasure”, which is getting outdated.

B.How would you reply?

C.People usually say it among friends.

D.People in most countries say “thank you” the same way.

E.There is no wrong way to reply to “thank you” .

Storytelling

Storytelling has caught the human imagination for thousands of years. People everywhere have told stories to amuse, to teach, to remember, and just to pass the time. People started telling stories long before writing was invented.1.But people all over the world still tell one another stories out loud. A person who can tell a good story nearly always finds listeners.

Before people developed writing, storytelling was the most important way to pass along information. Anything a culture wanted to protect一its beliefs, its history, and its traditions—had to be told out loud. Each generation would tell the culture’s stories to the next.2.Knowledge passed on in this method is called the spoken tradition. Even cultures that know how to write still pass along some information in this way.

3.In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do this important job.A culture’s best storytellers had good memories. They could also make the stories very interesting, so people would listen and remember them. Sometimes people would sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems.4.

However, stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them. A storyteller might change a story in order to make it better. Or a teller may simply not remember all the details of a story. Unlike written stories, the spoken tradition is not created by any one person. 5.Sometimes the stories are collected and written down long after they have been created.

A.In this way the stories were passed along.

B.In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.

C.Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.

D.Instead, a whole culture helps shape the changing stories throughout history.

E.Today stories are also written down in books and acted out in movies, TV shows, and plays.
