Sagarika Sriram was 10 years old when she started reading newspaper stories
about a planet in trouble, one of which was about turtles with plastic in their
stomachs. Sagarika knew she needed to do something. First, she joined a group
which organized cleanup campaigns in her home city, Dubai “The group helped
me understand what an individual can do and how I can really make a difference,”
she says.
Then Sagarika created Kids for a Better World. It’s a digital platform which
has brought together nearly 10,000 youths from all over the world with the goal to
create a greener world.
Sagarika is now 16. She’s part of a growing number of young climate
activists. “We’re the generation that is going to face the results if the climate crisis
is not dealt with,” she says. She believes even individual actions can create a
“ripple effect”. Sagarika says this can build momentum and can move things in
the right direction.
Kids for a Better World is for people aged 8 to 16. It teaches them about what
they can do to reverse climate change. They can grow food, plant trees, collect
recyclables and avoid using plastic bags. “This is the information which can help
change our future,” Sagarika says.Dubai is a desert metropolis. Growing up there has made Sagarika very aware
of the need for action. Her city faces the risk of rising temperatures and its water
supply is shrinking. She believes young people can bring attention to these
environmental challenges.
Sagarika is all about small actions, but she has big plans. She’d like to go to
college in California. While she’s there, she’ll continue being an activist. She’ll

Chinese consumers have said they will avoid eating Japanese seafood over
safety concerns once Japan starts releasing ( 排 放 ) nuclear wastewater into the
Pacific Ocean.

Are you sleeping restlessly, forgetting little things, and feeling depressed and
lonely? Don’t worry. We’ve all been there. You’re probably just stressed out.
Stress isn’t always a bad thing. It can be handy for a burst of extra energy and
focus, like when you’re playing a competitive sport, or have to speak in public.
But when it’s continuous, the kind of situation most of us face daily, it
actually begins to change your brain. Chronic ( 长 期 的 ) stress, like being
overworked or having arguments at home frequently, can affect brain size, its
structure, and how it functions, right down to the level of your genes.
As levels of cortisol (皮质醇) rise, electric signals in your hippocampus (海
马体), the part of the brain associated with learning, memories, and stress control,
decline. When the hippocampus weakens, so does your ability to control your
stress.
That’s not all, though. Cortisol can literally cause your brain to get smaller in
size. Too much of it results in the shrinking of the part of your brain that regulates
behaviors like concentration, decision-making, judgement, and social interaction.
It also leads to fewer new brain cells being made in the hippocampus. This
means chronic stress might make it harder for you to learn and remember things,
and also set the stage for more serious mental problems, like depression and
eventually Alzheimer’s disease.
It’s not all bad news, though. There are many ways to change what cortisol
does to your stressed brain. The most powerful weapons are exercise and getting
into deep thoughts, which involves breathing deeply and being aware and focused
on your surroundings. Both of these activities decrease your stress and increase
the size of the hippocampus, and therefore your memory improves.So don’t feel defeated by the pressures of daily life. Get control of your stress
before it takes control of you.
12. Stress can be a good thing when you .
A．make decisions B．deliver a speech
C．think deeply D．forget little things
13．What may influence your genes’ level according to the text?
A．Having chronic stress. B．Playing competitive sports. C．
Working overtime last Friday. D．Having a fight with your
brother.
14. What does the underlined word “It” refer to in paragraph 6?
A．Relevant behavior. B．Too much cortisol.
C．Social interaction. D．The smaller brain in size.
15. Which of the following can be a good way to relieve stress?
A．Sleeping a lot. B．Changing the cortisol.
C．Doing sports regularly. D．Having social interaction.

The average cost of an iPhone has climbed up, and even the most affordable
Android devices come with arising price. 16 It is wise to pay close
attention to the best practices for extending the life of your smartphone.
Fortunately, there are several ways to do this.
Remove unnecessary apps and photos.
When the storage and capabilities (能力) of the smartphone are being maxed
out, the phone will become much less responsive. 17 To avoid this
unnecessary expense, make sure that you regularly remove any apps, photos,
documents or text messages that you do not actually need.
18
Put your phone on the charger (充电器) when it reaches a battery life of 75
percent. Waiting until the battery life drops to 25 percent will dramatically reduce
its ability to receive and hold a change. Using up your battery and then charging it
back to 100 percent is a bad idea. Your phone will last a lot longer if you charge it
for a few minutes off and on throughout the day.Don’t exercise carrying your smartphone with you.
Some phone users have experienced water damage issues as a result of
sweating while their phone was in their pocket or fastened to their arm. This
problem becomes worsened by the unwillingness of the phone company to cover
even minimal water damage under their guarantee program. 19
Take advantage of cloud storage.
20 This will minimize the risk of data loss if something does go
wrong. Take advantage of any free cloud storage that comes with your
smartphone and perform backups on a regular basis to receive the best results.
A. Power down regularly.
B. Keep the battery in good condition.
C. But it may not be in your best interests to use them.
D. It often convinces people to upgrade before they truly need to.
E. It helps your phone never become overloaded with too much data.
F. So it does not make sense to take the risk of harming it with sweat.
G. Are you wasting your money by replacing your mobile phone annually?

A MOTHER’S DAY SURPRISE
The twins were filled with excitement as they thought of the surprise they
were planning for Mother’s Day. How pleased and proud Mother would be when
they brought her breakfast in bed. They planned to make French toast and chicken
porridge. They had watched their mother in the kitchen. There was nothing to it.
Jenna and Jeff knew exactly what to do.
The big day came at last. The alarm rang at 6 a.m. The pair went down the
stairs quietly to the kitchen. They decided to boil the porridge first. They put
some rice into a pot of water and left it to boil while they made the French toast.
Jeff broke two eggs into a plate and added in some milk. Jenna found the bread
and put two slices into the egg mixture. Next, Jeff turned on the second stove
burner to heat up the frying pan. Everything was going smoothly until Jeff started
fryingthe bread. The pan was too hot and the bread turned black within seconds. Jenna
threw the burnt piece into the sink and put in the other slice of bread. This time,
she turned down the fire so it cooked nicely.
Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.
The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire. Jenna panicked.
Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly. But the stove was a
mess now. Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of
the porridge. But Jeff’s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.
Jenna made him put his hand in cold water. Then she caught the smell of burning.
Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.
