1. Inspired, Fitz and other rangers launched a one-day event called "Fat Bear Tuesday" on Facebook, where votes were counted via "likes." The following year, the event expanded into a whole week, drawing hundreds of thousands of participants. Over the years, the competition has become increasingly popular. In 2024, it received over a million votes from more than 100 countries.

*. inspired 앞에, Being 생략
via : ~을 통하여

2. Now, however, optics engineers and physicists have developed sophisticated tricks to overcome the diffraction limit of light microscopes, opening up a new world of detail. These “super-resolution” light microscopy techniques can distinguish objects down to 100 nanometers and sometimes even less than 10 nanometers. Scientists attach tiny, colored fluorescent tags to individual proteins or bits of DNA, often in living cells where they can watch them in action.

*. diffraction : (빛·전파·음파 따위의) 회절(回折).
fluorescent : 형광성의

3. Sybilla Masters was the mistress of a prosperous household in Philadelphia. Still, she made time to tinker with ideas on how to improve life in the colonies. Sybilla had watched Native women pound corn with a mortar and pestle. She was inspired by their methods. Sybilla invented a corn gin that could do the same work with less human effort. In 1712, Sybilla sailed to London to get a patent for her invention. A patent is a document issued by the government that gives a person full rights over their invention.
*. tinker with : 만지작거리다
ex)He likes to tinker with old radios.
pestle : 절굿공이

4. Dr St-Onge discovered that people with gastrointestinal problems and lactose intolerance had scarier and more frequent nightmares. She said: "If you have gastrointestinal issues, that could account for a lot of what's happening in terms of sleep disturbances that could be associated with different dreams." Her colleague, Dr Tore Nielsen, said: "Sleep disturbances affect a huge proportion of the general population.“

*. gastrointestinal : 위장의
account for : 설명하다
ex)How do you account for the show’s success?
be associated with : ~와 관련되다
ex)Smoking is associated with many health problems.
proportion : (전체의) 부분, (전체에서 차지하는) 비율

5. Archaeologists think early farmers constructed the Dudderhouse Hill long cairn between 3400 and 2400 B.C.E. It likely served as a symbolic final resting place for the dead, although archaeologists don’t think entire bodies were interred at the site, reports the Guardian’s Mark Brown. Instead, they suspect deceased community members were first left to decompose naturally before certain body parts were transferred to the Dudderhouse Hill long cairn for burial.

*. inter : 매장하다
decompose : 분해하다, 부패하다
cairn : 돌무덤
