22、Animals’ abilities are often used to describe people’s personality characteristic. 【1】 But is there any validity(正确性)to such a statement? That’s the question we’re talking here at Short Wave as part of a series called Animal Slander(诽谤).

We’re starting with the phrases “blind as a bat” and “memory of a goldfish” because they are problematic. For one, the phrases are often used in a derogatory(贬义的)manner and it is not cool to make fun of people based on their physical or mental abilities. 【2】

1. Blind as a bat.

People in the U.S. use the phrase “blind as a bat” to laugh at someone for not being able to see well. 【3】 In fact, there are over 1,300 species of bats and none is truly blind.

Different species of bats rely on their eyesight to varying degrees—often in combination with their sense of smell and echolocation(回声定位法). 【4】 They just need their eyes to figure out where they are. And some bats are able to see even better than this. For example, most fruit bats don’t use echolocation at all. They have big eyes that allow them to primarily rely on vision and sense of smell to find fruit.

2. Memory of a goldfish? Maybe you’re not so forgetful after all.

The phrase is that a goldfish’s memory lasts about three seconds. This has been repeatedly proven wrong. Ryan Wong, a professor of biology helped us out with this one. “There are definitely lots of different studies can show that fish have really complex learning abilities and also have the ability to remember information for long periods of time,” Wong says. “【5】”

A．However, the phrase is not right at all.

B．Some bats rely heavily on echolocation.

C．And second, the phrases aren’t even true.

D．The goldfishes’ memory can even last for weeks.

E．He researches fish behavior, learning and memory.

F．For instance, if you’re stubborn, you might be called “pig-headed”.

G．Some bats don’t need their eyes to look up close.

23、As the population of the planet increases, so does the number of homes, business, parking lots, schools, airports and roadways. All these structures use electricity and need to be lighted. Humans demand light. They want their homes more comfortable and they want their streets safe. The problem is that researchers are finding that all the light is having a negative effect on humans and wildlife as well.

Less than 10 years ago I drove to a thinly populated section of my own, lay down in the middle of the road and watched an attractive meteor shower(流星雨). If I did that today, I wouldn’t be able to see the meteor shower.

Nowadays scientists are finding light pollution can be almost as bad as carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）pollution. One of the saddest parts of light pollution is that most of it is unnecessary and most of the outdoor light that we use is wasted. One only needs to look at a row of street lights to see how much of the lights shines upwards and lights the sky: a total waste of electricity.

Additionally, the production of electricity creates pollution by releasing greenhouse gases. This affects the air we breathe and our quality of life.

Scientists are also studying the effects of light pollution on wildlife. Thousands of birds die each year when they crash into highly lighted buildings, as they become puzzled by the light. It has been long known that tiny baby sea turtles become lost and follow the light on the shore instead of heading towards the sea.

Fortunately, light pollution is one of the easiest sources of pollution that can be corrected without a negative effect. Following some guidelines and a little searching on Google can give you many ideas on how to reduce your contribution to light pollution.

【1】According to the passage, the best way to deal with light pollution is to ______.

A. Reducing the output of lights

B. Educating people about light pollution

C. Avoiding the use of unnecessary lighting

D. Inventing environmentally-friendly lights

【2】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Astronauts can’t see clearly in space nowadays

B. Global warming results in light pollution in some way

C. We are almost at a loss how to deal with light pollution

D. Some animals use natural light to direct their movements.

【3】What will probably be provided following the last paragraph?

A. Benefits of searching on Google

B. More bad effects of light pollution

C. Helpful tips for suffering the Internet

D. Ways to decrease light pollution
