Today, over six billion people live on the planet. This means that there are very few places on Earth with no people. One place that has very few people is at the bottom of the Earth. In Antarctica, the icy continent surrounding the South Pole, you will not find anyone who lives there all the time.

First, Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. For example, it can be –l30℃ in the winter. Humans cannot live in this kind of environment. Because it is so cold, very few plants or animals live there. This means there are no farms and no places to find wild plants or animals to eat.

Second, Antarctica can be dangerous. Many people think that it is safe to travel to Antarctica in the summer months when it is warmer. However, Antarctica is mostly ice, so when it’s summer, the ice melts. When the ice melts, the ice can break. So, people cannot travel around Antarctica during the summer. If the ice breaks, they could fall into the water and die.

Another serious problem in Antarctica is the sun. Because Antarctica is mostly ice, there are no trees so there is no shade. Also, the ground is mostly white ice so the sun bounces off (反射) it. The light from the sky and the light from the ground can burn people’s skin and hurt their eyes. People must be very careful in this situation. For example, they must wear sunglasses to protect their eyes. They must also cover their hands and faces all the time.

Although Antarctica is a tough place to live, explorers have discovered coal in Antarctica. This leads them to believe that Antarctica at one time was a land of swam (沼泽) and forests.

1.This text is mainly about _____.

A. the discovery of Antarctica

B. how people travel around Antarctica

C. different animals found in Antarctica

D. why it is difficult to live in Antarctica

2.We can learn from the text that _____.

A. Antarctica is a place with no animals

B. no people can survive in Antarctica

C. Antarctica is colder than any other continent on Earth

D. the temperature in Antarctica is below zero all the time

3.When is the most dangerous time to travel around Antarctica?

A. In spring. B. In summer.   C. In autumn.   D. In winter.

A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London.　 Head researcher Dr. Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks". The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr. Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. It's really interesting and shocking.

Dr. Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time.　 This means we do not work at our best. She asked, "What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better. "The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr. Linnell's research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Let's wait to see what will happen.

1.What did Dr. Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe?

A. Himba people are cleverer than others.

B. Himba people aren't used to the life in city.

C. Himba people focus better in the desert

D. Himba people give up traditional farming.

2.What happened in the past one hundred years?

A. Many people returned to the countryside.

B. Big cities attracted many people to live and work.

C. Many people couldn't concentrate on one task.

D. The way companies operate changed a great deal.

3.The underlined word "outdoors" in the last paragraph probably refers to "______".

A. villages　　 B. cities

C. towns　　 D. countries

4.What is the main purpose of the text ?

A. to remind people to focus better.

B. to advise people to live in countryside.

C. to share a recent study with readers.
