unique artistic style. Tw years ag, the 88-year-ld master passed away, and shrtly befre his death, a remarkable
exhibitin charting his decades-lng career pened. Having traveled frm Cambridge t Kirkcudbright, the majr
exhibitin has nw fund its latest stp at Ditchling Museum f Art + Craft, where it will be n display fr five

Ditchling stp, mixing well with the riginal cllectin rganized by the Quentin Blake Centre fr Illustratin. Fr
example, a set f carefully arranged wardrbe (衣柜) drs perfectly matches the previusly displayed pencil
drawings frm Ethel and Ernest, creating a cmplete stry f his creative jurney.
Briggs was a brn stryteller wh cmbined picture bks and cmics. He mastered the art f balancing jy
and srrw: his famus Snwman brught tears with its silent, heartbreaking melting scene, while his easily
annyed yet warm Father Christmas caused cnstant laughter. Having imprved his skills at Wimbledn Schl f
Art and later the Slade Schl f Fine Art, he laid a slid fundatin fr his distinctive style that resnated deeply
with bth children and adults.
Even after achieving fame, Briggs kept a simple heart. A newly fund Finnish editin f The Snwman bre
his 2014 nte: “I gt my mst famus character’s arms wrng.” This exhibitin is a lve letter t his fans, wh,
standing befre his wrks, feel clse t his creative struggles and jys. Leaving the museum, they are eager t
revisit his bks, stepping again int the magical wrld he created with simple yet deeply tuching lines.

Frm Flrida’s Wetlands, the Miccsukee peple have lng shared islands with a 7-ft female alligatr (短吻
鳄), warmly called Mama Gatr. Fr 60 years, they’ve bserved her shape the ecsystem: digging pnds t hld
water in dry seasns and building raised nests fr eggs in rainy seasns, with humans keeping a respectful distance
during nesting. This clse cexistence mirrrs a brader truth — alligatrs are vital “ecsystem engineers,” nt
just cld-blded killers.
Scientific research nw backs the Miccsukee peple’s wisdm. Alligatr pnds serve as shelters fr fish,
frgs and plants during dry seasns, while their nests create dry platfrms fr ther animals and birds. Water birds
even nest abve alligatrs, which act as bdyguards against ring-tailed bears, in a tw-way beneficial arrangement.
As tp predatrs (捕食者), alligatrs mve nutrients arund by mving between habitats, eating in castal areas
and answering the call f nature upstream, bsting the fd web frm water plants t larger animals.
Once n the edge f extinctin due t hunting fr their skins in the 19th and 20th centuries, American
alligatrs made a remarkable cmeback after 1967 prtectin laws, with wild ppulatins recvering t ver three
millin in Flrida and Luisiana. Tday, researchers uncver mre hidden benefits: alligatr-rich wetlands stre
high levels f carbn, aiding climate change cntrl, and sme alligatrs exhibit surprising adaptability — frm
resident individuals staying clse t hme t highly mbile nes traveling hundreds f kilmeters t castal waters
fr fd, despite lacking salt-prcessing glands (腺体).
Cnservatin effrts, including landwners’ head-starting prgrams and the Miccsukee peple’s egg-rescue
initiatives, cntinue t safeguard alligatrs. Bilgists stress that these animals deserve recgnitin nt as mnsters,
but as kind guardians that maintain freshwater ecsystems, supprt bidiversity and fight climate change. As the
Miccsukee knw, cexisting with alligatrs means respecting nature’s delicate balance.
8. Hw des Mama Gatr affect the lcal envirnment?
A. By living with the Miccsukee peple. B. By keeping a distance frm humans.
C. By creating pnds and high nests. D. By bsting the riginal fd web.
9. Which f the fllwing best describes the impact f Alligatr pnds?
A. Wide-ranging. B. Duble-edged. C. Shrt-lived. D. Time-limited.
10. What des the authr imply in paragraph 3?
A. American alligatrs can prcess salt. B. The 1967 laws have prven effective.
C. Nearby habitats have been destryed. D. Adaptability f species is significant.
11. What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Alligatrs: Prtectrs f the Ecsystem. B. Mama Gatr: A Star f the Grassland.
C. The Miccsukee: Guardians f Nature. D. Wetlands: Sites f Cnservatin Effrts.

Sleep is risky. When yu fall asleep, yur defences are dwn, making yu an easy target fr predatrs and
ther threats. And yet, the majrity f living things d it, including mst animals, insects and even many plants. S,
why did it first develp? It’s a mystery that scientists have been trying t slve fr decades.
Recently, a team f Israeli scientists decided t dive int the cean in search f an answer, placing tw ancient
sea creatures in their sights: the upside-dwn jellyfish and the starlet sea anemne, which are amng the ldest
animals t have develped n Earth. Publishing their findings in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins, the scientists
reprt that these early creatures need abut as much shut-eye as humans d and that sleep may have first emerged
as a means f prtecting delicate nervus tissue.
Bth jellyfish and the starlet sea anemne sleep abut a third f the day — abut 8 hurs in human terms —
in their natural habitats, and that the sleep schedules they keep respnd heavily t sleep lss, envirnmental light,
and bdy clcks. Feeding the creatures melatnin — a natural hrmne (荷尔蒙) invlved in sleep cntrl, whse
prductin is influenced by light — led t increased sleep during times when each creature wuld nrmally have
been mre active, but had little impact n their activity during nrmal rest perids. It als reduced DNA damage in
bth species during times f the day when they were nrmally awake.
The scientists measured DNA damage in the tw creatures under different cnditins as well and fund that it
climbed when they were awake and wrsened when they were shrt f sleep, but declined when they were asleep
and fllwing “recvery” sleep. They fund that DNA damage pushed the creatures t sleep mre. Mst
surprisingly, they cnducted further research, and the results shwed that mre DNA damage led t mre sleep, and
mre sleep reduced DNA damage.
The findings suggest that sleep may have arrived n the scene t allw living things t survive the destructin
f time.
12. Hw des the authr present the issue in the first paragraph?
A. By cmparing different species. B. By explaining a key cncept.
C. By raising a puzzling questin. D. By shwing research findings.
13. What discvery did the scientists make abut the tw simple sea creatures?
A. They have regular sleep patterns. B. They sense fd in bright cnditins.
C. They live in shallw castal waters. D. They take in xygen thrugh their skin.
14. Why des the authr mentin “DNA damage”?
A. T indicate the harm f staying awake. B. T illustrate the initial functin f sleep.
C. T present the risks f cell damage. D. T intrduce a basis fr clck cntrl.
15. What des the authr imply in the last paragraph?
A. Rest keeps ff dangers. B. Wakefulness hurts cells.
C. Light affects activities. D. Sleep fixes DNA damage.

partners. “In thse days,” Beth remarked thughtfully, “yung wmen ften traveled with relatives wh kept them
cmpany.” Her eyes met Gina’s, and in that quiet mment, an unspken questin passed between them.
“Gran,” Beth began hesitantly, “wuld yu cnsider… cming t Asia with me in January?”
Time seemed t stand still. Gina felt smething shift inside her — a lng-silent fire starting t burn. Lking
