Amphibian (两栖动物) species are disappearing at an alarming rate across the globe due to habitat loss, pollution, and disease. FrogWatch trainings cover the importance of amphibians in the environment, how monitoring our local frog population helps to protect them, factors to consider in choosing a site to monitor, how to identify frog species by their calls and how to report findings to FrogWatch USA. Become a citizen scientist with FrogWatch USA, and help save our frogs!
Date: Saturday, June 4, 1:00 p.m.—3:00 p.m.
Price: $10household (includes up to 2 adults and 2 children age 8+)
Training instruction:
FrogWatch trainings cover the importance of amphibians in the environment. The instruction focuses on how to:
1. monitor our local frog population to protect the species;
2. determine factors when choosing a site to monitor;
3. recognize frog species by their calls;
4. report findings to FrogWatch USA.
After passing a test on identifying frog calls at the end of the training, certified volunteers then commit themselves to monitoring a local amphibian habitat (such as a pond or lake) approximately once a week for about 15 minutes, and collecting /submitting data on what they hear. Data collected will be added to a national FrogWatch USA database. In 2020, Rhode Island FrogWatch citizen scientists followed 80 sites almost 900 times! In those 900 observations, FrogWatchers, heard more than 1,220 frog choruses.
Questions: Contact Programs@rwpzoo.org or call (401)785-3510 ext. 358.
Please note: FrogWatch trainings will cover a large amount of information and protocols (规程). While FrogWatching is a great after-dark family activity for all ages, the trainings are designed for interested older children and adults.

Art lovers around the world are remembering Leonardo da Vinci who died in France 500 years ago, on May 2, 1519.
A British art expert announced on Thursday that Britain’s royal family has a portrait (肖像) of the famous artist, often known simply as Leonardo. Martin Clayton, a royal art adviser, said the portrait’s owner is Queen Elizabeth II. He added that the image was made by one of Leonardo’s assistants shortly before his death. Clayton said the “straight nose” and other details look very much like the only other known portrait of Leonardo done in his lifetime. That picture was the work of Italian painter Francesco Melzi. It will be on display at the Queen’s Gallery with about 200 drawings from her collection of Leonardo’s works.
On Thursday, the presidents of Italy and France gathered in the French town of Amboise to mark the anniversary of the artist’s death. He spent the final years of his life in the town. Today art lovers around the world are celebrating Leonardo’s work. He is considered a true Renaissance man, working not only as an artist, but as a scientist and inventor. “There really hasn’t been anybody then or since who has combined this extraordinary genius for these totally different areas,” said Gregory Rubinstein. He is the worldwide head of Old Master drawings at Sotheby’s auction house. “I think that’s what’s at the heart of our fascination.”
Sotheby’s announced Thursday that an important Leonardo drawing is going on display in its New York offices next month. The drawing, called “Leda and the Swan”, was painted in 1506. It is based on a story from Greek mythology (神话). It has not been shown in public since 2003. Leonardo appears to have made the painting while he was also working on “Mona Lisa”, his most well-known painting. The Mona Lisa hangs in the Louvre Museum in Paris. Rubenstein said the “very complete and very beautiful” drawing appears to have been preparatory work for a painting that was never made or was lost. “It’s a very mysterious one because there is no surviving record. and no painting survives,” he said.
4. How will the British remember Leonardo this year?| A．By exhibiting a portrait of Leonardo. | B．By holding a party at the royal family. |
| C．By showing Melzi’s work of Leonardo. | D．By displaying Queen’s collection of works. |
| A．To visit the Queen’s Gallery. | B．To remember Leonardo da Vinci. |
| C．To attend the funeral of Leonardo. | D．To celebrate the anniversary of the Renaissance. |
| A．He is a true lover of art. | B．He is a genius in everything. |
| C．He is a person with many gifts. | D．He is a man living in the Renaissance. |
| A．It is about a mysterious Italian story. | B．It is a rarely seen Leonardo drawing. |
| C．It was painted by Leonardo’s assistant. | D．It is a preparatory work for “Mona Lisa”. |
Inspired by how dandelions (蒲公英) use the wind to distribute their seeds, a University of Washington team has developed a tiny sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind. It could provide unique insights for a variety of applications, including digital agriculture and monitoring climate change.
This system is about 30 times as heavy as a I milligram dandelion seed but can still travel up to 100 meters in a gentle wind, about the length of a football field, from where it is released. Once on the ground, the device, with at least four sensors, uses solar panels to power its onboard electronics and can share sensor data up to 60 meters away.
To keep things light, the team used solar panels instead of conventional batteries. The challenge is that without a battery the system can’t store a charge, which means after the sun goes down, the sensors stop working. In some cases, this might result in data losses. So the team included a capacitor, a device that can store some charge overnight.
To measure how far the devices would travel in the wind, the researchers dropped them from different heights, either by hand or by drone. One trick to spread out the device from a single drop point is to vary their shapes slightly so they are carried by the wind differently. “This is mimicking biology (仿生学), where variation is actually a feature, rather than a bug, ” said co author Thomas Daniel, a UW professor of biology. “Plants can’t guarantee that where they grow up this year is going to be good next year, so they have some seeds that can travel farther away. It’s like putting eggs in different baskets.”
With further improvements, the technology definitely has good prospects. “We can create devices that change shape as they fall, or facilitate some more mobility once they are on the ground to get closer to an area we’re curious about, ” said the lead author Shyam Gollakota, another UW professor.
8. How does the author introduce the device in Paragraph 2?| A．By offering examples. | B．By listing reasons. |
| C．By making comparisons. | D．By giving figures. |
| A．The superior flying capacity. | B．The reason for shape adjustment. |
| C．The complex building procedure. | D．The increasingly wide application. |
| A．Critical. | B．Unconcerned. | C．Favorable. | D．Doubtful. |
| A．To introduce a device. | B．To clarify a concept. |
| C．To explain a phenomenon. | D．To advertise a product. |
As a historian who’s always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate the past, I’ve become occupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors smiling. I’ve found quite a few, but disappointingly my collection of ‘Smiling Victorians’ makes up only a tiny percentage of the vast ocean of photographic portraits (肖像画) created between 1840 and 1900, the majority of which show sitters posing like marble statues in front of painted backdrops, or staring absently into the middle distance. How do we explain this trend?
During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure time was shockingly long: the daguerreotype photographic method (银版照相法) could take several minutes to complete, resulting in unclear images as sitters shifted position or adjusted their arms and legs. So a blank stare instead of a fixed smile became the norm. But exposure time was much shorter by the 1880s. Natural smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.
One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy smile. “Nature gave us lips to cover our teeth, ” ran one popular Victorian saying, indicating an easy-to-ignore fact that before the birth of proper dentistry, mouths and irregular and yellow teeth were like peas and carrots. A flashing set of healthy and clean, regular pearly white teeth was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the super-rich.
A toothy smile, especially when there were gaps or blackened teeth, lacked class: Drunks, beggars, and some music hall performers might makes faces and smile with a laugh as wide 8s Lewis Carroll’s gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly brought-up people. Even Mark Twain, a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographic portraits there could be “nothing more stomach-turning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever”.
12. What do the underlined words “this trend” in Paragraph 1 refer to?| A．Collectors’ preference for portraits. | B．Victorians’ tension before the camera. |
| C．Historians’ search for new photographs. | D．Photographers’ need of new techniques. |
| A．The shockingly long exposure time. | B．The requirement of clear pictures. |
| C．The misunderstanding of dignity. | D．The worrying dental condition. |
| A．To introduce a new topic. | B．To make a certain prediction. |
| C．To illustrate a point of view. | D．To provide some useful advice. |
| A．The Secret of Victorians’ Portraits | B．Photographs of Victorians: Faded Smiles |
| C．A Question for Victorians: to Smile or Not | D．A Strange Story- the Unsmiling Victorians |
