single largest national park and biggest land-based protected area. It covers 972, 000 square kilometers. The vast

On March 1, Dr. Joseph Dituri began a project to stay for 100 days at a special hotel called Jules’s Undersea
Lodge 30 feet under the ocean surface in a conservation area in Key Largo.
The farther you go below the ocean’s surface, the greater the pressure. Dr. Dituri wanted to learn how this
pressure would affect the human body over time. He believes that high pressure could help people live longer and
stay healthier as they get older. It could also help doctors treat different medical problems, including brain injuries.
While he was living underwater, Dr. Dituri stayed busy. He often exercised in the morning. He kept teaching
his college classes virtually and had online chats with over 5,500 students from 15 different countries. He also
worked with ocean experts to figure out ways to preserve the ocean. He even had a number of visitors who dove
down to spend a little time with him.
On June 9, Dr. Dituri returned to the surface with a new world record, beating the old record of 73 days. Many
friends, family, and other supporters were there to greet him and celebrate his success. Doctors quickly checked
him out to make sure he was okay.
Actually, Dr. Dituri went through several big changes. For one thing, he became 1. 3 centimeters shorter
during his time in the higher undersea pressure. Sleeping much better, his health greatly improved in a couple of
ways. Dr. Dituri and his team plan to study the information they collected during the project. In November, Dr.
Dituri will speak at an important medical meeting in Scotland about the discoveries the scientists made during the
project.
Dr. Dituri says his favorite part of the project was talking with young people. “Who knows?” he said. “Maybe
one day
,
one of them will come. back and break the record we just set. My greatest hope is that I have inspired a
new generation of explorers and researchers to push past all boundaries.
4. What is Jules’s Undersea Lodge special for?

5. Why did Dr. Dituri decide to stay long in the hotel?

B. He was busy with medical experiments.
C. He led a dull life separated from the others.
D. He set a world record of living 73 days underwater.
7. What does Dr. Dituri wish young people to do?
A. Communicate more with him. B. Explore the unknown bravely.
C. Study the information of the project. D. Meet at the conference in Scotland.

Each year, more than 27 million U.S. and Canadian kids get to school by bus. Most of those buses run on
diesel (柴油) fuel, which give out pollution that riders can take in. Pollution levels can be several times higher
inside a diesel school bus than outside it. Why? Pollution can leak in from the floor or blow in through windows.
A U. S. government program started in 2012 offered schools’ money spent on cleaner school buses but not all
schools could get it. Five years later
,
emissions from buses in the winning districts fell. And a year after getting
new buses, student attendance had improved in those districts. For an average district of 10, 000 students, about six
more students attended ‘school each day’ in the winning districts, compared to the losing districts. Winning schools
with higher rates of bus-riding kids had an average of 14 more students in class each day. And winning districts that
replaced the oldest school buses? They had an average of 45 more students in school each day.
Those numbers may sound small, but they add up. And school attendance matters for student achievement.
Almost 3 million U. S. kids ride school buses more than 20 years old. If U. S. school districts had replaced all of
those older buses, there would have been 1. 3 million fewer student absences each year.
There might be other reasons for better attendance. For example, maybe kids preferred new buses. However,
the most-likely reason for fewer student absences was better health. A study done on adults showed that a brief
exposure to diesel emissions reduced “network connectivity” in the brain. In other studies, such network-
connectivity changes have been linked to worsened memory and mental tasks. A Washington State program
upgraded pollution controls in old diesel buses. Afterward, fewer kids were hospitalized in those districts than in
schools without bus upgrades.
Almost all U. S. school districts can apply for the program. But schools in low-income areas, in tribal areas
