Today, everyone at the university knows her as the “Squirrel Girl” Mary started bringing them food, and gradually they began to trust her. She managed to put a hat on a squirrel and take a picture. Thinking that her colleagues could do with something to lift up their spirits, she started posting similar photos on Facebook. The response was greatly positive, and before long Mary and her squirrels became an Internet _sensation_.Growing up in a neighborhood outside State College, Mary was always fond of birds and animals around her home, but she didnt interact(交流) with people very much. She was later diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome, but the squirrels changed that. “The squirrels are actually a good way to break the ice, because Ill be sitting here patting a squirrel and other people will come over and well just start like feeding the squirrels together and chatting about them， ” she said. “I am a lot more outgoing.”And in case youre wondering how Mary is able to get the squirrels to do what she wants for her photos, it has a lot to do with food. For example, whenever she wants them to hold or play with something, she puts peanut butter on the prop(道具), and theyll grab it. But getting to that part took a while. In the beginning, she would throw peanuts up the trees on campus and invite the squirrels to come down and get them, but they hesitated to approach her. She had the patience to earn their trust, though.This year, Mary is graduating with a degree in English and wildlife sciences. She wants to be a science writer and educate people on how to preserve the environment. As for her furry friends, Mary plans to stay in the area and visit them as often as she can.语篇导读本文为记叙文。宾夕法尼亚州立大学的玛丽曾被诊断出患有阿斯伯格综合征，但是松鼠使她变得外向起来。在和松鼠之间建立信任以后，玛丽拍了一些松鼠戴帽子的照片，这2在互联网上引起了轰动。1What does the underlined word “sensation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AHit.

And while it might be the natural option when there isnt a box of tissues around, it can be bad for you. The main reasons why people feel the need to pick their nose are to clear it of dried liquid, stop an itch(痒), or just because it feels good. Boogers(鼻屎) form when dried liquid and cilium, the tiny hairs that line the nostrils(鼻孔), 3trap the dust, dirt, and other things. When boogers build up in your nose, it can be uncomfortable, and sometimes just blowing them into a tissue doesnt _do_the_trick_.Otolaryngologist Erich PVoigt, MD, told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils. Thats not terribly damaging, but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body, it can cause a cold and flu. So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose.If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils, making you want to pick, consider damping the air at home, or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there.Children, who are most famous for having a finger up their nose, sometimes dont realize how much injury theyre causing, and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeding.So, next time you go to pick your nose, think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers, and maybe reach for a tissue instead. Even if youre alone, and not waiting for the light to turn green, please, use a tissue.语篇导读本文为说明文，主要分析了人们抠鼻子的原因以及抠鼻子所带来的不良后果，并呼吁人们需要时用纸巾而不是用手指抠鼻子。5Why do people pick their nose?ABecause they want to disgust others.
