15、ad never spoke about his life back in Ethiopia and yet he insisted on teaching us this language, Tufa said. “There were so many resources at my fingertips for the other languages I was learning and so many people that speak them. But when Dad was teaching us Oromo, there were no textbooks or learnin

16、g materials at all. And that struck me as really strange.But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking .about Oromo was so painful for her father. The Oromo are the largest racial group of Ethiopia. But since their land was seized in the 1880s, the people have s

17、uffered a lot. The Oromo language was banned, including from political life and schools. Oromo texts were destroyed. Tufas father, an Oromo, fled to Egypt and, in the late 1970s, he was given asylum（庇護(hù)）in Australia.By the time the Oromo ban was lifted, Tufas father had established a small, private O

18、romo school in Melbourne to teach the language to the children of asylum seekers. As she helped to teach the students, Tufa realised the teaching resources were awful. She decided to create posters and worksheets for her fathers students, using her own money to get them printed.Three other Oromo sch

19、ools that had opened in Victoria by then heard about the materials and all of them wanted copies. Tufa realised that if there was a demand for Oromo child education materials in Australia, there must be other communities around the world where resources were also needed.She launched a crowdfunding c

20、ampaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials. By the end of 2014, in just six weeks, she had raised almost $125,000. Word of her project spread. Her resources have also found their way to Ethiopia, with people sending copies to family members who still live there. This year, she plans to

What schools need in teaching Oromo.CGlobal heating appears to be making trees drop their leaves earlier, according to new research, contradicting the idea that w

24、armer temperatures delay the beginning of autumn.The finding is important because trees draw huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the air and therefore play a key role in managing the climate.The rising temperatures also mean that spring is arriving earlier and,overall, the growing season for trees i

25、n the planets temperate zones(溫帶地區(qū)） is getting longer. However, the earlier autumns mean that significantly less carbon can be stored in trees than previously thought, providing less of a brake on global heating.The new research is based on a huge dataset of observations of European trees, experimen

26、ts that varied light and CO2 levels, and mathematical models. It showed that as well as temperature and day length, the amount of carbon a tree has absorbed in a season is a key factor in determining when it no longer needs its leaves and drops them. The scientists liken the effect to a person becom

27、ing full after a heavy meal and being unable to eat more food. Earlier models that did not include the amount of carbon a tree absorbs during a season indicated that autumn could be two to three weeks later by the end of the century on current emissions (排放） trends. But the scientists new model indi

28、cates autumn may actually come up to six days earlier. Christine Rollinson, an ecologist at the MortonArboretum in Illinois, USA, said the earlier models were known to be simplifications butwere the best available.“The big challenge is that autumn has always been a bit of a mess,” she said. “Dependi

29、ng on where you are and which species youre looking at, theres some evidence that leaf fall is happening earlier and some that its happening later. But understanding how well a tree grows during the season really helps explain that tree-to-tree variation.”Rollinson said that we cant put all of the r

30、esponsibility on to growing trees. We can cut emissions from fossil fuel burning and deforestation to address the climate emergency.28. What is the result of rising temperature?A. Later spring.B. More carbon storage.C.Shorter growth season.D. Earlier autumn leaf-off.29. What does the underlined word

32、ng.D.Present more evidence.DChimpanzees (黑猩猩） enjoy watching movies together, scientists have discovered, inresearch that suggests social bonding through shared experience has deep evolutionary roots.It is widely known that humans can bond over group activities such as watching a movie or playing bo

33、ard games. But it has been unclear whether the underlying psychology behind this effect is present in other species.In the research, chimpanzees were placed in pairs and shown a short video. The researchers then measured how long it took them to approach their partners, how close they got and how lo

34、ng they remained in proximity (靠近）two measures of social bonding. Chimpanzees who had viewed the video with either another of their own species or a human approached their partner faster or spent longer in proximity to them, compared with those who had watched the video on their own, the scientists

35、found.The finding indicates that social bonding created by shared experience may have deeper evolutionary roots than previously thought.“Animals can stand together and watch a waterfall, but they dont seem to seek out those kinds of experiences, said Wolf, an author on the study. “So for a long time

36、 we thought they werent capable of processing that way or they werent feeling any psychological consequences from doing so.“Its exciting that at least some parts of the psychology that we need to connect through shared experiences may actually have a slightly older evolutionary history than previous

37、ly suspected.”The animals were tracked for only three minutes after they had watched the film, so it is not clear whether shared experiences strengthen social bonds in the long term. The research used animals in captivity (圈養(yǎng)），and scientists said it was not known whether the same effects would be ob
