On Christmas Eve, a team of reindeer will help Santa Claus deliver gifts to children all around the world.
The reindeers, led by their fearless leader Rudolph, won’t be the only ones doing something special. Back in the
highest Arctic, their cousins have a remarkable ability changing their eye color.
During the summer months, when the days are long and the sun is bright, reindeer’s tapetum lucidum (荧光
膜), a mirror-like layer at the back of their eye, appears golden, which helps bounce the majority of light off the
eyes, effectively acting like a pair of natural sunglasses. As winter comes, and the days become shorter and
darker, the tapetum lucidum turns blue to absorb more light, allowing reindeer to improve their night vision and
see clear in low light conditions.
With these adaptations, reindeer can adapt and thrive in one of the harshest environments on Earth. Unlike
humans, reindeer can see well into the shorter Ultra Violet (UV) range. This UV vision enables them to spot
food and predators (捕食者) more effectively in the snowy landscape. Lichens, a key part of their winter diet ,
absorb UV, so they show up dark against UV-reflecting white snow. Wolf and polar bear fur also absorb UV, so
instead of disappearing against snow they pop out in high contrast, allowing reindeer to spot potential threats
from a distance.
Reindeer change their eyes by adjusting their tapetum lucidum, which is made of collagen fibers. In winter,
the collagen fibers become packed tighter, causing the tapetum lucidum to mainly reflect blue light. This
change happens when reindeer dilate their pupils (瞳孔). In summer, the reindeer’s pupils return to a smaller
size, which helps reindeer reduce the amount of light entering the eye.
But their unique adaptation may hurt them. Today, the increasing use of artificial lighting, especially during
the winter months, poses a potential threat to their sensitive eyes. It can make reindeer lose their way, affecting
their ability to survive in their challenging environment. So it is crucial for us to be mindful of our use of
electricity and make efforts to minimize light pollution to ensure the well-being and survival of these
magnificent creatures.
24. What do we know from paragraph 2?
A. The shape of reindeer’s eyes varies with seasons.
B. It is difficult for reindeer to live in low light conditions.
C. The tapetum lucidum helps reindeer adapt to seasonal changes.
D. Reindeer’s eyes appear golden in winter while blue in summer.
25. What is the use of UV vision for reindeer?
A. To help them see clear in dark nights.
B. To distinguish food of different colors quickly.
C. To protect their eyes from harsh sunlight in summer.
D. To better locate food and enemies during snowy days.
26. What does the underlined word “dilate” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Relax. B. Expand. C. Narrow. D. Hide.
27. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To call on people to protect reindeer from light pollution.
B. To show the reasons for the decline in reindeer population.
C. To present humans’ great efforts to reduce artificial lighting.
D. To prove reindeer’s strong adaptability to harsh environments.
C
“Practice makes perfect” is a very popular expression. However, can we take this saying literally?
One popular theory is that if a person practises for at least 10,000 hours, they will reach “perfection”—or,
in other words, become an expert in their field. This theory was made famous by Malcolm Gladwell in his 2008
best-selling book, Outliers: The Story of Success. He gave the examples of the music group The Beatles and
Microsoft co-creator Bill Gates, who clearly put in over 10,000 hours of practice before they became
successful.
However, Gladwell’s book has been said by many to be too simplistic and generalising. Although
Gladwell’s work was largely based on research done by Anders Ericsson, Ericsson argued that 10,000 hours
was just an average figure. Some people, for example, needed far fewer than 10,000 hours, and others many
more. More importantly, Ericsson said that just practising a lot was not enough; the type and quality of practice
