In December 2015, he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured(v.冒险) into an
isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the
mist-coveredregion.“Astimewaslimited,weweredroppedinbyhelicopter.Oncewewereontheground,
therewerenotrailsanywhere;itwasreallyhardtogetaround,”Bexlersays.
Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird with strange orange skin
hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of
honeyeaters—thefirstnewbirdspeciestobesightedonNewGuineain60years.
The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously
unknown plant and animal species—13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms. “We
were like kids in a candy store,” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had
neverseenbefore.”
The newfound species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas—primitive
egg-laying mammals—letthevisitors pickthemupandtake thembacktocamp to studythem.Anechidna

Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all

explains. “Thisareagives scientists aplacewheretheycango tostudythe behaviours ofanimals thathave

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in NewYork City when a woman and a young
boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the
woman asked, “So, howhave you been?”Andthe boy --- who couldnothave beenmore than7 or 8 years
old---replied,“Frankly,I’vebeenfeelingalittledepressedlately.”

The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem
childlikeanymore.Childrenspeakmorelikeadults,dressmorelikeadultsandbehavemorelikeadultsthan
they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they
oncewerenolongerexists.Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to
social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the
new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell
sixthgradersthingswekeephiddenfromfifthgraders.
Inthelast30years,however,asecret-revelationmachinehasbeeninstalledin98percentofAmerican
homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they
children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to
thelesschallenging,morevividmovingpictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social
information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that
must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex
materials.

Roughly 42% of Americans are nearsighted today, compared to 25% in 1971. The World Health
Organization predicts that about half of the world’s population will have nearsightedness by 2050. It’s
apparent that our eyesight is becoming increasingly poor, but researchers are only now beginning to
understandwhy.
Generally a childhood phenomenon, nearsightedness happens when the eyeball grows too long from
frontto back,takingonmore ofanoval(n.椭圆形)shaperatherthanasphere(n.球形).Eyeshave a“stop
signal” so that they grow corresponding with the head, explains Gregory Schwartz, an associate professor
at Northwestern University. However, that signal can be interrupted by genetic and environmental factors,
which leads to our eyeballs growing a bit too much, leading to far-off objects looking out of focus. Signs
