Read the passage and answer the questions below.

The deep ocean is dark, cold, and full of strange creatures that people rarely see. But in early 2025, scientists announced an amazing discovery, and it did not happen the way most people imagined. Nobody found this animal by diving into the deep sea. Instead, researchers found it in a much stranger place: a seafood market in Vietnam.

For years, fishermen near Vietnam's coast had been catching large sea bugs from deep water and selling them as food. People even said these sea bugs tasted better than lobster. Scientists bought some of these creatures to study them closely. That is when they noticed something surprising: one type of sea bug did not match any known species at all.

This mysterious sea bug turned out to be completely new to science. It can grow much bigger and heavier than a normal land insect, with a tough shell covering its soft body. But its most unusual feature is its head, which looks strikingly similar to Darth Vader's helmet from Star Wars. Because of this, scientists gave it the official name Bathynomus vaderi.

This story teaches an interesting lesson. Sometimes, big scientific discoveries are not hiding in faraway places - they can be sitting right in a local market, waiting for someone to look closely. Vietnam's deep sea clearly still holds secrets, and there may be more surprising creatures waiting to be noticed, even in ordinary, everyday places.

The passage suggests that before scientists studied it, this sea bug was most likely _____.

  • completely unknown to people in the area before 2025
  • already familiar to people, just not recognized as a new species
  • considered too dangerous for people to eat
  • caught by researchers diving into the deep water near the coast

According to paragraph 3, the official name of this sea bug ____.

  • was chosen by the local fishermen who sold it in the market

  • describes the tough shell that covers its soft body

  • is exactly the same as the name used for a normal land insect

  • was inspired by a specific character from a famous movie

What does this story suggest about how much scientists currently know about ocean life?

  • There are likely still many species that remain unknown.

  • They have already identified nearly every creature in the deep sea.

  • Deep-sea animals are too rare to ever be sold in local markets.

  • Vietnam's coastal waters have already been fully explored.

The final paragraph implies that important scientific discoveries _____.

  • always require expensive expeditions to faraway places in the deep sea
  • can sometimes occur by paying closer attention to common, everyday locations.
  • are usually made by local market sellers rather than professional scientists
  • can happen only when scientists are specifically searching for a new species

Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

Research has shown that teenagers who use bright screens before bed often sleep worse than those who don't. Scientists believe screen light can confuse the brain into thinking it is still daytime. As a result, the body produces less of a natural chemical called melatonin, which normally helps people feel sleepy.

One clear from recent studies is that teenagers today sleep an hour less, on average, than they did twenty years ago. Doctors are concerned about this because good sleep plays a key role in memory and concentration. Teenagers who don't get enough rest often find it hard to attention during lessons, even when they feel wide awake.

Experts now teenagers to avoid screens for at least an hour before bedtime. Some schools have already tried introducing 'no-phone' evenings, with promising early results. Teachers report that students seem noticeably more the next morning.

In recent years, environmental organizations have developed several advanced technologies to address the severe global problem of water pollution. A remarkable milestone was reached in 2025 when a project called The Ocean Cleanup successfully removed twenty-five million kilograms of plastic from marine environments. A significant portion of this recent environmental success was achieved through the continuous deployment of special machines known as Interceptors. These innovative watercraft function like giant robotic vacuums, and they are entirely powered by solar energy instead of traditional fossil fuels. Because a massive amount of ocean plastic originates from dirty inland waterways, the Interceptors are strategically placed to catch floating waste before it enters the sea. The autonomous river boats utilize a smart barrier system that gently guides the floating trash onto a moving conveyor belt without trapping any aquatic animals. Once the internal collection containers become completely full, local operators are automatically notified by a digital communication system so that they can quickly extract the gathered rubbish. The collected plastic materials are subsequently transported to nearby land-based treatment facilities for careful sorting and commercial recycling. This high-tech approach provides a highly practical method for cleaning our natural habitats because the vessels intercept the garbage early while operating continuously on renewable power.
