21、What have eight legs, hunt among a group of fish and can throw a mean sucker punch(猛击)? According to research published in Ecology last week, the answer would be octopuses. Octopuses punch fish. Deliberately.

The first time researcher Eduardo Sampaio witnessed this phenomenon, he laughed. Normally that'd be fine but at the time he was underwater wearing scuba(水肺潜水)equipment. "I almost choked on my regulator," he said in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition. "When I saw it for the first time, I just burst out laughing."

The octopus is typically a solitary creature, but sometimes an octopus might take part in a hunting party made up of fishes. A grouper's(石斑鱼)gestures, for example, can clue(提示)an octopus into the location of prey. Sampaio and his co-researchers were studying this mutually beneficial behavior when they came across an octopus punching fish while hunting.

Although researchers have observed octopuses punching fish before, the behavior happening in the context of a hunting party is new. And it can come suddenly, out of nowhere, Sampaio said. "You can see there some punches are almost like a small boop," Sampaio said. "And the other ones that even the whole arm curls up and uncurls afterwards, you know, like the motion of a boxer doing a punch. "

s a partner-control mechanism, Sampaio explained, to drive the fish away from the octopus

23、Studying in the library can help many students focus better, especially if their only other option is to study in a noisy home or residence hall. Library study is also handy for groups of students who want to study together.

【1】. Even if you would usually bring your computer or MP3 player to study while by yourself, leave that behind to study with a group. If you do pack these devices in your bag, be aware that you can only use them if your group takes a break or has self-study time during the meeting. 【2】. And you can leave them behind altogether if you think you might be attracted to do so.

Stick to a normal floor. If the library is large enough to have a designated quiet floor, stay off it. Quiet floors are meant for individual study. 【3】. As such, you should stick with a floor that is not designated as a quiet area.

Find a large table. 【4】. If you have a small group of two or three people, a small circular table will still probably work. If you have a group that is larger than that, though, you will likely need a larger rectangular table.

Reserve a larger study room or meeting room. Some libraries will allow you to use any study room as long as it is open when you get there. For exceptionally large groups, consider asking about using a large meeting room at the library. 【5】. Oftentimes, you will need to reserve the room in advance, but this is not always the case.

24、   A new study researched how bad technology affected employees' mental health. The research involved experiments in which brainwaves were measured as people were put through a series of bad technology experiences. The experiments involved adults of many ages with different levels of computer skills. Subjects were tested with simple computer problems, like troubled sign-in operations. Others dealt with slow-speed connections to the Internet. Still others experienced system crashes.

“The moment people started using bad technology, we saw a doubling of their levels of stress,” said Olivier Oullier, president of EMOTIV, which is a technology company. “I was a bit surprised by that, because you rarely see those levels going so high,” he said. The experiments showed that technology related stress had a lasting effect, he added.

In addition to tech failures affecting the mental health of employees, the problems can also affect a company's business, the research found. Such problems can reduce productivity, especially that of younger workers, who rely heavily on technology to work. The research showed a thirty percent production drop among study subjects under age 40. And lower productivity in turn increased their stress levels.

As stressful as the tech problems were for those in the study, Oullier said, such effects were likely to be even more severe in the real world. He said the subjects knew they were involved in an experiment so they may not have been as personally affected by the results.

As Oullier has pointed out, another issue is that many employees are working remotely and this can also add to tech difficulties. In an office, computer support helpers are usually available to help workers solve tech problems. But working from a kitchen or home office, employees are often on their own. When they face more tech problems, they get more stressed.

“When you're stuck at home and all you have is a computer provided by your employer, you might not have access to tech support,” Oullier said. “That's why it's so important when you re remote to have technology that works.”

【1】What did researchers do to all subjects in the experiment?

A．They got them exposed to tech failures.

B．They asked them to gain computer skills.

C．They required them to calm others down.

D．They tested them with complex problems.

【2】Why are young employees affected more severely by tech failures?

A．They have a preference for work from home offices.

B．They have heavier dependence on technology at work.

C．They play an important role in a company's tech business.

D．They are not as skilled and experienced as old employees.

【3】Which of the following statements does Olivier Oullier agree to?

A．Remote work leads to lower productivity.

B．Tech- related stress has a temporary effect.

C．Lack of tech support adds to stress levels.

D．Access to technology ensures good health.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Bad Technology Has Little to Do With Productivity.

B．Tech Failures Can Make Employees More Stressed.

C．Working Remotely Can Lead to Poor Mental Health.

D．Computer Skills Are Particularly Necessary at Work.
