【推荐3】With over 70% of the country blanketed in forest, Bhutan is rich in outdoor activities and charming villages that showcase a distinctive culture found nowhere else on the Earth. Here are our picks for the best places to add to your Bhutan traveling list.

Paro

Less than 10 minutes away from the airport, the historic riverside town of Paro is known for the National Museum, Rinpung Dzong and symbolic Tiger’s Nest Monastery. Wander along Paro’s streets and the Paro Weekend Market to explore shops and stands offering handmade souvenirs. When you’ve worked up an appetite, step into any restaurant for fresh, handmade momo dumplings.

Thimphu

In Bhutan’s capital city, spend the day creating your own stamps at the Bhutan Postal Museum, touring the massive Thimphu’s museums and watching policemen manually direct traffic(there are no traffic lights in the entire city). When the sun sets below the mountains, enjoy yourself at bars like Grey Area, a popular art bar with live music where you can shout “tashi delek!”, a Xizang’s expression for good luck and health.

Punakha

Beloved for riverside farms where cows eat among rice and pepper fields, Punakha is home to what is its most beautiful temple, which sits along the Punakha River. Punakha’s low altitude means it tends to be hotter and sunnier than nearby towns and districts, which means you’ll need to take precautions to avoid sunburn.

Khoma

Fashion lovers can expect to visit behind the curtain in Bhutan’s textile center, Khoma. In the eastern district of Lhuentse, this village is home to roughly 1,000 residents—and few cars.

【推荐1】“The mosquitofish is one of the 100 world’s worst invasive (侵入的) species, and present methods to kill it are too expensive. It will take too much time to successfully control the spread of the mosquitofish,” says Giovanni Polverino. “This global pest is a serious threat to many animals living in water. Instead of killing them one by one, we’re presenting an approach that can inform better strategies to control this global pest. We made their worst nightmare become real: a robot that scares the mosquitofish but not the other animals around it.”

In the presence of the robotic fish, mosquitofish would stay closer to each other and spend more time at the center of the testing area. They were unwilling to swim to unknown waters. They also swam more crazily, with frequent and sharp turns, than those who haven’t met the robot. They swam away from the robot and back to their living area. The influence of fear lasted. The scared fish were less active, ate more, and froze longer, presenting signs of anxiety that continued weeks after their last encounter (相遇) with the robot.

For the tadpoles (蝌蚪) the mosquitofish usually hunt for food, the robot’s presence was a change for the better. Tadpoles have poor eyesight. They don’t see the robot well. Because the robot changed the behavior of the mosquitofish, the tadpoles didn’t have predators (捕食者) at their tails anymore and they were more willing to explore in the testing area. “It turned out to be a positive thing for tadpoles. Once freed from the danger of having mosquitofish around, they were not scared anymore. They’re happy.”

After five weeks of brief encounters between the mosquitofish and the robot, the team found that the fish spent more energy towards escaping than reproducing. Male fish’s bodies became thin.

“While successful at preventing mosquitofish, the lab-grown robotic fish is not ready to be put into the wild,” says Maurizio Porfiri. The team will still have to overcome technical challenges.

1. What do we know about mosquitofish?

A．It is the most dangerous species.

B．It costs too much money to feed.

C．It is difficult to be seen by people.

D．It is harmful to many animals in water.

2. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?

A．The mosquitofish’s living area.

B．The uses of the mosquitofish.

C．The mosquitofish’s reaction to the robotic fish.

D．The encounter between mosquitofish and tadpoles.

3. What's the benefit of the robotic fish’s presence for the tadpoles?

A．They had better behavior.

B．They had no more killers.

C．They were more adventurous.

D．They could see the robot clearly.

4. Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Robots Use Fear To Fight Invasive Fish

B．Mosquitofish Are The Most Dangerous Animals

C．Invasive Fish Are Spreading All Over The World

D．Robots Fish Are Hunting And Killing Mosquitofish

【推荐2】Jason Ahn’s favorite parts of Marvel’s Iron Man movies are scenes showing inventions being developed. Many of these scenes are similar to the experiences he went through himself before winning national recognition for an innovative classroom whiteboard design.

For Ahn, 17, a rising senior at Ames High School in Iowa in the US, there was a good month’s worth of nights staying up until 4 am — before going to school the next day — during which he first gained the idea for an auto rolling and erasing whiteboard, or ARE Board. He then submitted it to the Raytheon Technologies Invention Convention US Nationals.

All that work paid off for Ahn in 2022 when he was among inventors from across the country to win awards at the competition.

In his advanced placement physics class — and throughout most of his time in school — he noticed his teachers struggle with having to write and erase the same notes for each of their classes; that was if they could even reach the top of their traditional whiteboards. However, electronic whiteboards are too expensive.

He made a working prototype (原型) of a whiteboard on a motorized conveyor belt system that can be scrolled (滚动) up and down. It is more time and space efficient than a traditional whiteboard. He wanted to make something similar to an electronic whiteboard but far cheaper and easy to use.

“I’ve seen my friends kind of joking, ‘Isn’t this kind of a step backward? We’ve evolved all the way to electronic whiteboards’.” Ahn said.

“In some cases, it’s good to keep the traditional aspects and characteristics of some fundamental tools,” because markers and erasers are more tangible (有形的) and accessible to people, he added.

One of the awards he won at the competition provided him with a patent lawyer to help him get a patent application with the fee covered. He’d be willing to sell a patent to a company.

Ahn thinks of things in daily life that might make the world a better place. “I’m making a notebook of all the ideas that I’m thinking of,” he said.

1. What about Marvel’s Iron Man movies interests Ahn the most?

A．Iron Man’s hi-tech suit.	B．The hi-tech fight scenes.
C．The various hi-tech inventions used.	D．The scenes of hi-tech products being made.

2. What inspired Ahn to invent ARE Board?

A．His teachers’ struggles to erase whiteboards.	B．An electronic whiteboard he came across.
C．A motorized conveyor belt system he found.	D．His cooperation with other inventors.

3. What advantages does Ahn’s ARE Board have over other electronic whiteboards?

A．It is smaller and lighter.	B．It is cheaper and more user-friendly.
C．It is more futuristic.	D．It is mobile and easier to use.

4. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．How to Upgrade Your Classroom

B．Teenagers Can Make a Big Difference

C．An Inspirational Inventor Creates Motorized Whiteboard

D．ARE Board — Whiteboard’s Bright Future
