Endangered whales in the inland waters of Washington State will now have individual health records, which researchers hope will help them identify threats to the whales’ health. There are typically 84 whales living in Puget Sound from spring to fall. These were listed as endangered in 2005 and are both genetically and behaviorally different from other killer whales. They use distinct calls to communicate and eat salmons (鲑鱼) rather than other marine mammals. Because of pollution, lack of prey (捕食) and disturbance from boats, their numbers have varied in the past few decades. The whales are already thoroughly tracked and recorded. Researchers trail them and keep track of their measurements, waste and exhaled (呼出的) breath. Individual health records, which combine all of the existing research on the whales, will be added to this program. On Tuesday, during a meeting in Seattle more than two dozen wildlife experts discussed how this would be carried out. The records will include data on behavior, reproductive success, skin diseases and more. They will be used to monitor individual health as well as overall trends. “The goal is to really start getting a lot of data and pull them together in a way that permits easier analysis.” Joe Gaydos said. “Finally, the real benefit of any health record is to help make management decisions.” The records will help identify threats to the whales’ health and provide insight into how to reduce or fix them. “It will be really powerful to rule out things that aren’t important and focus in on what’s really important,” Barre said. An initial database will be launched this summer using information on sex, age and gender as a starting point. Additional information will be added next year. Some details, such as who will manage the data and who will have access to it, have not yet been worked out. 28. When don’t the whales live in Puget Sound? A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In autumn. D. In winter. 29. How do the whales living in Puget Sound exchange information? A. By using different calls. B. By eating salmons. C. By turning their bodies. D. By changing their breath. 30. Why did the wildlife experts hold the meeting in Seattle? A. To find out how to add individual health records. B. To discuss how to keep away from skin diseases. C. To know how to improve individual health efficiently. D. To learn the way to keep track of their measurement. 31. What is Barre’s attitude towards the analysis? A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Defensive. D. Approving.

Samsung says new Galaxy Note 7 smartphones will be available in U.S. stores starting Wednesday to replace about 1 million devices that are being recalled because their batteries can catch fire. The South Korean company has been scrambling to fix problems caused by faulty batteries in the latest version of its top of the line smartphone, which first went on sale last month. When it first offered on Sept. 2 to replace the affected Note 7 phones, Samsung said it would swap them for models of its other phones, such as the Galaxy S7, until supplies of replacement Note 7 devices became available. Samsung followed up last week by announcing that U.S. consumers who had purchased one of the recalled phones could choose between a replacement or a refund fro the device, which sells for about $850. That offer was jointly announced with officials at the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission after Samsung was criticized for not coordinating more closely with the commission. Safety officials have urged Note 7 owners to turn off their phones and return them immediately. They cited reports of Note 7 batteries overheating in the United States, including 26 instances where individuals were burned and 55 that caused property damage. The problem doesn’t affect all Note 7 phones, because Samsung uses batteries from different suppliers. But the company has said about 2.5 million devices may be affected worldwide, including 1 million sold in the United States. Samsung also said it’s pushing out two software updates through wireless carriers. One will show a green battery icon to confirm that a Note 7 device is a new one that doesn’t have the battery problem. The other will display a short notice to owners of older phones covered by the recall telling them to turn off their device and take it in for a replacement. About a quarter of affected phones had been exchanged in the United States by Tuesday, According to a spokeswoman for Samsung’s U.S. subsidiary. She was unable to say how many Note 7 buyers sought refunds, but said “the vast majority” received a different Samsung phone as a replacement. 33. What’s wrong with the affected Note 7 phones? A. The price of them is too high. B. Their batteries can catch fire. C. They are similar to iphone 7. D. They have problems with their earphones. 33. What can a U.S. consumer who had purchased one of the recalled phones do according to Samsung’s announcement? A. To sell his/her recalled phone to others for about $850. B. To choose a replacement and a refund for his/her recalled phone. C. To return the recalled phone and get a replacement or a refund (about $850) for the device. D.
