It was one of the things we finally talked about when we imagined our life with our children.Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster

20、by the day. It was time to make good on those plans. We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing

21、 dozens of flights, trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, diverse and fascinating the world is. We wanted them to learn all we had learned ourselves through our own travels as young adults.But there was something more than that. What we really wanted was to slow down time. We want

Jemisin, which won the Nebula Award for Best Novel of 2021. One of the reasons why the book was recognized was that it matches up with reality and shows

28、 modern social mentality. The Stone Sky tells a story happening on a broken earth, which often suffers natural disasters. In the novel, the earth “is not simply damaged, it is broken: its current condition was actively inflicted ( 強(qiáng) 加 ) upon through the foolishness of humankind”, sci-fi blog Skulls

In the

31、 story, the dark-skinned people from the hot regions of the earth are regarded as the advanced race, while the paler people from the Antarctic are viewed as inferior ( 較 差 的 ).

35、 reflection of reality and social problems.D. Its explanation of the foolishness of humankind.DShane Gero, a scientist at Aarhus University in Denmark, spent 6 years studying sperm whales (抹香鯨), which communicate through very loud clicks. He found that sperm whales in the Caribbean Sea had different

36、 clicks from those in the Pacific Ocean. He even “translated” the clicks from a group of Caribbean sperm whales, believing them to say, “Im from the Caribbean, are you?”, reported National Geographic. As well as being used for communication, the clicks also allow whales to develop a relationship wit

37、h one another, according to Gero.Apart from sperm whales, other animals like wolves and apes also have different regional accents. Researchers analyzed the howls of different species of wolves.

38、 words, they have their own dialects.According to Darcy Kelley from Columbia University, most animals learn their accents naturally. For example, macaques ( 獼 猴 ) start speaking their dialect as soon as they are born. Scientists placed some macaques in a new environment where their playmates all spo

39、ke a different dialect. But the macaques still spoke their own dialect. Their environment had no influence on their communication, according to the Washington Post.“In most species, communication appears to have a genetic basis,” Kelley explained in the Washington Post. “However, among a small numbe

40、r of species, animals can learn from others and develop their own accents.”Fruit flies are a good example. According to Science Daily, they send messages through their wing movements. Scientists found that fruit flies can only communicate efficiently with others of the same species. However, they ca

41、n learn new dialects by spending time around other species.“A proper accent is vital to mating and warning the coming of enemies, which is the basis of survival,” Kelley told the Washington Post.
