20、climate change, scientists say.As the world warms and Arctic sea ice thins, starving polar bears are being forced ever further south, where they meet grizzlies, whose ranges are expanding northwards. And with that growing contact between the two come increasing hybrids （杂交种）.With characteristics tha
21、t could give the hybrids an advantage in warming northern habitats, some scientists guess that they could be here to stay. Usually, hybrids arent better suited to their environments than their parents, but these hybrids are able to search for a broader range of food sources,Larisa DeSantis, an assoc
22、iate professor of biological sciences at Vanderbilt University, told Live Science.The rise of “pizzly” bears appears with polar bears* decline: their numbers are estimated to decrease by more than 30% in the next 30 years. This sudden fall is linked partly to “pizzly” bears taking up polar bears* ra
23、nges, where they outcompete them, but also to polar bears* highly specialized diets.“Polar bears mainly consumed soft foods even during the Medieval Warm Period, a previous period of rapid warming,“ DeSantis said, referring to fat meals such as seals.Although all of these starving polar bears are tr
24、ying to find alternative food sources, like seabird eggs, it could be a tipping point fbr their survival.Actually, the calories they gain from these sources do not balance out those they burn from searching for them. This could result in a habitat ready for the hybrids to move in and take over, lead
25、ing to a loss in biodiversity if polar bears are replaced.“Were having massive impacts with climate change on species,“ DeSantis said. The polar bear is telling us how bad things are. In some sense, “pizzly“ bears could be a sad but necessary compromise given current warming trends.8. Why do polar b

28、ears are on the rise because of global warming.D. ”Pizzly“ bears have replaced polar bears fbr global warming.Have you ever been in mid-conversation with someone, when you look over and find them standing in the same position as you or holding the same facial expression? It may seem like they have c
29、onsciously（有意识地）copied you, but it is much more likely that it is the chameleon（变色龙）effect at play.The chameleon effect is the unconscious imitation（模仿）of another persons gestures or behaviour. Just as a chameleon attempts to match any environments colours, people acquire the behaviour of others to
30、bring them closer together and help make their interactions smooth.The chameleon effect was confirmed in an experiment by psychologists John Bargh and Tanya Chartran d in 1999. The first part of their experiment included 78 people, who each spoke with an experimenter. During the test, Bargh and Char
31、trand studied whether participants would copy the actions of someone they hadnt met before, like moving the foot and touching the face. The second part measured the impact that copying someone has on the person being imitated.In the first stage, participants increased their face touching by 20% and
32、their foot movement by 50% while in conversation about a photograph with the experimenter. The individuals werent aware of what they were being studied fbr, and the photograph was used to catch their attention to ensure unconscious acts. The second stage involved half of the participants being copie
33、d, and then determining the likeability of the experimenter. The results showed that those who were imitated scored the experimenter higher. It has shown that when someone copies our behaviour, we develop more positive feelings about them. These interactions could be a person unconsciously willing t
34、o be liked, and forming a moment of connection.The main reasons behind humans imitation are positive. However, when people carry this chameleon effect to the extreme, they can lose their sense of self. Those who change their entire personalities in different groups often go unnoticed. But more commo
35、n signs of the chameleon effect are easier to notice. Next time you are in a social gathering, take a look around and you might just see some chameleons for yourself.12.

By distracting their attention from a photo.D. By directing their attention to a photo.14. What can be concluded f
37、rom the experiment?A. Too much of the chameleon effect can be positive.B. People imitating others are not easy to be observed.C. People tend to appreciate others imitating their behavior.D. The copied movements help people to feel less anxious.15. Which of the following reflects the chameleon effect
38、 according to the passage?A. A comedian copies a celebrity vividly on stage.B. Close friends share similar behaviors over time.C. Students adopt teachers, accents fbr fun in secret.D.

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great impact on the environment.16 Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water.
