Driving safety is said to be influenced by the songs or music drivers are listening to on the roads. Top ten safest songs to drive to are Come Away With Me by Norah Jones,I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Tiny Dancer by Elton John. Each of the songs has an optimum tempo(最佳节奏）for safe driving, imitating the human heartbeat at around 60 to 80 beats per minute.

A new species of snailfish was found at a record breaking depth of 8,145 meters. It was found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench(海沟）,the deepest site on earth.
The new species was recorded at a depth of 8,145 meters. It broke the former depth record,set in 2008,by nearly 500 meters. “This really deep-sea fish does not look like anything we have seen before，and nor does it look like anything we know of, ”Alan Jamieson from the University of Aberdeen said. “It is unbelievably easy to be damaged, with large wing-like fins (鳍）and a head looking like a cartoon dog. ”
The Mariana Trench sits nearly 11 ,000 meters below sea level in the Pacific Ocean. There very few large animals are found. It’s too cold and dark for most fish. However, new robotic technology is allowing researchers to explore this extreme environment, which has been long thought too bad for any life to exist. Along with the new species of snailfish, researchers filmed several other rarely seen creatures. They include super giant amphipods. They can measure a foot or more in length and are often referred to as the uinsects of the sea”.
Larger animals, like rattails and cusk-eels，live in shallower waters of 5,000 to 6,500 meters. Super giant amphipods live at mid-depths of 6,500 to 8,000 meters. The newly found snailfish lives at depms greater than 8,000 meters.
In 2012, director James Cameron became the first person to visit the bottom of the trench in more than 50 years. A year later, scientists published research showing that the trench has many microbes(微生物）that are able to survive on the remains of dead animals, water plants, and other microbes that float down the trench slopes (斜坡).
32. What can we know about Snailfish according Paragraph 2?
A. It doesn’t look like any commonly seen species.
B. It can easily survive in a new environment.
C. It likes travelling at different depths underwater.
D. It has very beautiful appearance.
33. Which of the following animals live in the shallowest water according to the passage?
A. Rattails and cusk-eels. B. Super giant amphipods.
C. The newly found snailfish. D. Largest animals,
34. What was the result of the scientist’s research about the trench in 2013?
A. There were many dead animals there.
B. James Cameron was the first to Teach there.
C. Life hardly survives there,
D. There was life down there.
35 What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Researchers discovered life in the deepest ocean.
B. A new species of snailfish was found at the deepest site on earth.
