Shane Gross is from Saskatchewan, Canada, a province far away from the sea, so his first underwater experiences were in a cold, green lake with a disposable film camera.Despite this, he's always been fascinated by the ocean, especially sharks, and watched Jaws countless times.After backpacking through Australia in 2009 and diving along the way, he decided to pursue his passion seriously.In 2011, he moved to the Bahamas to work as a dive instructor, which allowed him to spend more time in the water and improve his photography skills.
In 2017, while diving at one of their regular spots, “Sea Garden”， Gross and his friend encountered a turtle (海龟)．They were deeply upset at the terrible scene — the turtle was trapped, struggling, and ultimately dying.Realizing there was nothing they could do to save it, Gross removed the abandoned fishing line wrapped around the turtle and documented the moment.His photograph later won first place in the conservation category of the 2019 International Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition, bringing attention to the problem of sea waste that often goes unseen.
When asked about his approach to creating remarkable underwater photography, Shane Gross advises underwater photographers to go beyond just one image.He encourages them to document the entire scene they're passionate about, even if it means taking some shots above the water.Once you have a story to tell, create a shot list and keep shooting until you have recorded it fully.
For Shane, spending time in the ocean is deeply fulfilling.“I live a marine (海洋的) lifestyle，” he says.“But most people don't share this connection.” To bridge this gap, he created Bahamas Underwater, a book combining stories and vivid imagery to introduce people to marine ecosystems and their wonders.Shane recommends that taking the time to admire the breathtaking views of the ocean should be the initial step toward creating meaningful change — a shift from indifference to active care.

Distraction is often said to be the major cognitive (认知的) crisis of our time.In a recent article in The Atlantic, Rose Horowitch noted that “university students have trouble staying focused on even a poem”， and many American middle and high schools have shifted from literary texts to shorter passages.
Actually, accusations of declining attention are nothing new in modernity.Even in the early 20th century, Ezra Pound observed a shift from poetry to prose (散文), explaining it as a result of readers' inability to engage with the linguistic complexity of poetry.Over the decades, similar complaints about attention have continued.
Yet, Horowitch suggests that rather than a loss of reading ability, we may be witnessing a shift in consumption habits.Students now view reading books much like listening to old record albums — outdated.Meanwhile, the popularity of audiobooks continues to grow.This suggests that the issue is not an inability to read long novels but rather a shift in what people value.“Students can still read books，” Horowitch wrote.“They're just choosing not to.”
This raises a deeper question: What kind of attention do we truly need, and why Psychologists distinguish between focused attention and broader attention.In the famous Invisible Gorilla Experiment, participants counting basketball passes failed to notice a person in a gorilla suit dancing in the background.A wider focus, in contrast, may engage different cognitive skills and offer unique benefits.
Could the younger generation be developing valuable attention modes we fail to recognize What of the rapid, quick fire, written exchanges of instant messaging The art of making short and clever statements in 140 or 280 characters What about the skills and quick reactions needed in video games These new ways of engaging with content challenge us to rethink — with history as our guide — how we might approach long form culture in fresh and flexible ways.
8．What does the underlined word “accusations” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Criticisms. B．Origins.
C．Trends. D．Indicators.
9．What does the increase of audiobook listeners imply according to Horowitch
A．Printed books are less accessible.
B．Reading preferences have changed.
C．Digital reading devices are more popular.
D．Modern people have limited reading time.
10．Why does the author mention the Invisible Gorilla Experiment in paragraph 4
A．To display the difficulty of multitasking.
B．To illustrate the limitation of focused attention.
C．To prove the wide presence of distraction in daily life.
D．To stress the importance of cognitive flexibility in sports.
11．What will probably be discussed next
A．More valuable lessons taught by history.
B．Challenges facing the young generation.
C．The impact of technology on literacy skills.
D．Strategies for book reading in the digital age.

Needles, though essential for delivering many vital medicines, are not popular among patients.Many people experience discomfort or anxiety at the sight of a needle, making injections (注射) an unpleasant experience.Now, new research led by Giovanni Traverso at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) offers a way to give medicine without this discomfort — by copying how squids (鱿鱼) shoot ink and water.
Dr.Traverso's tiny automated injectors are packaged in capsules that patients can swallow.Once inside the digestive system, the capsules break down, releasing the injectors, which then deliver drugs through the surface layer of stomach or other digestive organs and into the subsurface tissues below.This method allows patients to receive treatment without seeing or feeling a needle.
Although the technique is promising, it is not yet entirely reliable.For an injector to work effectively, it must be positioned almost perfectly upright against the target tissue.With skin injections, a medical professional can adjust the angle by hand, but inside the digestive system, this is much more difficult.
To solve this problem, Dr.Traverso turned to squids, which can shoot ink and water at high pressure in multiple directions.Inspired by this natural ability, he and his team worked with a medical company to develop tiny spring loaded devices that release fast streams of medicine when activated.Tests on digestive tissues from pigs and dogs showed that the devices can effectively give injections even at angles below 70°.
While human trials have yet to begin, Dr.Traverso hopes the technology will soon help people with diabetes, a disease that requires the patients to get multiple injections daily.A more convenient delivery system could make treatment easier and less stressful.But the potential applications extend beyond diabetes — similar devices may one day be used to administer vaccines, making immunization (免疫接种) more accessible.If all goes well, fear of needles could become a thing of the past.
12．What can we learn about the new injectors from the first two paragraphs
A．They are made from squid ink.
B．They are invisible to human eyes.
C．They enjoy popularity among patients.
D．They operate within the digestive system.
13．What challenge does Traverso's technique face
A．Keeping the injector at a correct angle.
B．Finding a proper site for drug delivery.
C．Having reliable medical professionals.
D．Accessing the deep digestive system.
14．What can we infer about the technology from the last paragraph
A．It proves effective in human trials.
B．It may cure people of needle anxiety.
C．It shows promises for future applications.
D．It will reduce the cost of diabetes treatment.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Secret of Squid Ink Shooting
B．Painless Injection: A Gift from Squid
C．Nature: A Guide for Medical Innovation
D．The Development of Injection Techniques
