tein said: It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not. The spare time he referred to could be taken as spending time by yourself. Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one39。s quality, ambition and inspiration. Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand never stopping inputs. However,information, processed and integrated (融入) into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle (忙碌) seems to be the right condition. Successful careers m all walks of life worldwide have proved that the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness.

Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.

Thirty years later and now a . Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is bining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic Coast piping plover. The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds(繁殖)along the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakesand the Great Plains. Rising sea levels associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats(棲息地), threaten the species(物種). To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting into spreadsheets. Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1500 km of breeding range. Thatequals about a third of the distance across the ., which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a realtime idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats. While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Survey39。swebbased “iCoast—Did the Coast Change?” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by paring bird39。seyeview photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policyplans for addressing climate change impacts (影響) worldwide. (1)What can we know about the piping plover? A.Its behaviour is changing.B.Its habitat is growing bigger.C.Its living environment is being worse.D.Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic Coast.(2)Why did Thieler develop iPlover? A.To study shorelines across America.B.To advance information technology.C.To find out global climate change.D.To monitor changes of piping plover habitats.(3)Which of the following benefits the shorebirds? A.The camping equipment.B.Research on smartphones.C.The changea
