26、 deserved to own the disabled bunny doll.D. She fell down when she was the disabled bunny doll.COver a hundred years ago in 1911, something strange was found in the glaciers of Antarctica. Crilffith Taylor-an Australian geologist, had discovered a blood red stream pouring out of the ice cascades (瀑布
27、) of Talor Glacier! Popularly known as the Blood Falls, scientists had not been able to find the reason behind the blood red liquid flowing through the ice-until recently. The mystery of the Blood Falls had finally been solved.When these falls were first discovered, scientists had believed that the
28、red colour came from a large amount of red algae (海藻) concentrated in the water. Red algae contain a pigment (色素) which reflects red light, making the algae appear red.This theory made sense, until it was later found that algae do not play a part in the red color of the flowing liquid at all. What r
29、ealty causes Talor Glaciers waters appear blood red, is the presence of iron oxide in the liquid. The waters of the blood falls arc rich in salt and iron content, and when this water comes in contact with the air, it turns redjust like rust! The water in these falls is often referred to as “brine” b
30、y scientists because of the high salt content in the water.This reasoning behind the red colors of the falls was found back in 2003. However, the entire mystery had not yet been solved. How is it then, that the Blood Falls are not frozen?Researchers at the University of Colorado and University of Al
31、aska found that inside the glacier, there was a network of channels and reservoirs that move the water around. Salt water has a lower freezing temperature. In addition, when any substance undergoes a change in state, it gives off heat. Therefore, the brine actually warm itself up while its freezing!
32、 How this works, is that when the brine is flowing through the Talor Glacier, some of it does freeze. As a result of changing state from liquid to ice, the brine gives off heat. This heat is enough to keep the rest of the brine in liquid form, which is why it flows out of the glacier. Incredible new
33、 chemistry facts found, and mystery solved!28. According to the text, the red algae theory was once considered .A. ridiculous B. reasonable C. impractical D. complex29. Why does the Blood Falls look red in colour?A. Because there is too much salt and iron in its water.B. Because its liquid is rich i
34、n red algae.C. Because the flowing liquid reflects red sunlightD. Because the air is thin and rare in Antarctica.30. What is the main reason for the Blood Falls not freezing?A. The water continued flowing constantly.B, There is too much salt in the water.C. The brine gives off heat while freezingD.
35、Temperatures arent high enough for flowing water.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The discovery of the blood glacier.B. The birth of the Talor Glacier.C. The flowing red water in Antarctica.D. The mystery of the Blood Falls.DIf you are in a dilemma about being self-taught or getting formal ed
36、ucation, you have come to the right webpage. In this article, we note the advantages of each of these to help you decide which one would be the best for you.Perhaps the biggest advantage of being self-taught is that you are able to save a lot of money. With each passing year, the cost of getting a d
37、egree is on the rise. As a result, many students these days tend to graduate from college with a significant amount of debt. This makes it necessary for them to get a job as soon as possible, otherwise a number of serious issues may arise. Besides, it is possible to learn faster on your own, by focu
38、sing on only those areas that you are interested in. Finally, learning on your own can be a great confidence builder. You have to struggle to gain knowledge but once you clear the basics on your own, you will find yourself being much more confident about your abilities.One of the biggest advantages
39、of formal education is that you get a degree which is a mark of recognition that you have achieved a level of knowledge in that particular field. Many companies tend to prefer candidates who have a college degree. Whats more, though formal education lacks the convenience and flexibility of self-educ
40、ation, it offers you much more in terms of the actual structure of the learning process. Last, being formally educated means that you will enter a college or other similar educational institutions. There you will get the benefit of being taught and guided by learned teachers and other subject expert
41、s. This will be a big benefit as you will be able to lake advantage of their experience and gain in-depth knowledge about the subject.Thus, both formal education and self-education have their own sets of advantages. The choice between the two comes down to individual preferences as well as personal
42、situations.32. Which of the following is an advantage of self-education?A. A faster pace of learning B Being guided by subject experts C. A wider range of ways to gain knowledge D.
