18、 And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak,a situation that isnt just uncomfortable its cold and windy up there butdownright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds arent the only pro

19、blem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gearand much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the worlds largest dump. Heres mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “T

20、he two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma.

Recycle Rubbish On QomolangmaCThe bed should be reserved as a place for sleep, but people tend to read an iPad a lot in bed before they go to sleep.Charles Czeisler, a

26、 professor at Harvard Medical School, and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleep. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people to

27、ok hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.When subjects read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall as

28、leep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.The researchers conclude in todays journal article that given the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and adolescents, more research

29、into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Czeisler and colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note：“Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of ph

30、ones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths.

In the near future, youll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting “print” on your computer.You might find it hard to believe that you could actually “print” an object like you would a picture. B

35、ut it is not that hard to understand how it would work. Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line, modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer, from the bottom to the top, gradually building up a shape.Instead of ink, the materials the 3D printer uses are

36、mainly plastic, resin(树脂) and certain metals. The thinner each layer isfrom a millimetre to less than the width of a hairthe smoother and finer the object will be.This may sound like a completely new technology, but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s. Back then, it wa

37、s barely affordable for most people, so few knew about it. Last year, though, saw a big change in the 3D printing industryprinters became much cheaper.

38、factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses, 3D printing can create just about anything you can think offlutes , bikinis, jewelry, aircraft parts and even human organs. In fact, scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer, according t

39、o Science Daily. The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.However, as 3D printing becomes more common, it may bring about certain problemssuch as piracy. “Once you can download a coffee maker, or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3D printer, who will visit a

40、 retail store again？” an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News. Even more frightening, what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?32.

44、perience, fear may top the list. 36 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter - like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.l Experience fear.I used to be very afraid of speaking in front

45、of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldnt be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasnt that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 37 .l Create space.The first and most important step

46、 to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isnt accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the fight or flight(逃避) re

47、sponse in the body.l Control the breath and feel the fear.Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 39 . With practice, we can
