Practical Advice:
Make it social: Walk with friends/family to stay motivated and enjoy quality time.
Start small: Even 4,000 daily steps show measurable health improvements over inactivity.
Focus on feeling good: Regular walker Jon Stride emphasizes that mental well-being benefits outweigh strict
step counts
While official guidelines recommend 150 weekly exercise minutes, this study shows regular 7,000-step
walking provides major health benefits. The key is consistent movement—whether through walking, daily tasks, or
other activities—without overemphasizing perfect numbers. Small, sustainable efforts make the real difference.
1.What is recommended to make walking more enjoyable?
A. Sharing walks with friends.
B. Starting with small goals.
C. Focusing on step counts.
D. Setting MUST-DO daily tasks.
【答案】A
【详解】 此题为直接细节题,解题关键在于定位“Practical Advice”部分与“愉快”相关的具体建议。
文章在“Practical Advice”中第一条明确写道:“Make it social: Walk with friends/family to stay motivated and
enjoy quality time”,这直接对应使步行更愉快的方法。选项B (从小目标开始) 是鼓励起步的建议,但未直
接关联“愉快”;选项C (关注步数计数) 与建议中“mental well-being benefits outweigh strict step counts”相
矛盾;选项D (设置每日必做任务) 在文中未提及,且可能增加压力,与“愉快”目标不符。

Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity
she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew
nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might
call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling
book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.
1. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023?
A. The publication of a best seller.
B. The growth of professional disaster circles.
C. Her involvement in2004 tsunami relief.
D. Her sudden rise to fame through media.

People became very interested in what she did.”这直接对应A 选项“一本畅销书的出版”。B 选项“专业
灾难圈子的发展”文中未提及,她只是在圈内早已知名。C 选项“她参与2004 年海啸救援工作”是她过去
的经历,并非2023 年认知度突然提升的原因。D 选项“通过媒体突然成名”是干扰项,其成名的具体途径
是“出版书籍”,而非广义的“媒体”。

At nine years old, I didn’t realize how extraordinary it was for me and my grandmother to travel from our
Black neighborhood to the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed together in one section, rarely
venturing out alone, my grandmother stood out — confident and athletic while swimming, unlike the other women
worried about their hair or suits.
She would carry me on her back into the ocean, moving steadily along the tide. I followed my grandmother’s
strong motions, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired how she seemed born to the water, emerging
like a queen — proud, radiant, and benevolent.
Summer made our Black bodies more visible and vulnerable against narrow cultural ideals, but my grandmother
never noticed. She focused on teaching me to swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary to some, as the popular media
never portrayed the “great outdoors” as a welcoming place for Black people. It was seen as a space where we might
feel uncomfortable or even threatened. But to me, those perceptions didn’t matter. When I finally learned to swim, it
felt like I had unlocked a profound and personal secret of strength and freedom.
I once wondered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump from ships near shore and swim to freedom. Later I
learned that most coastal waters in West Africa were filled with poisonous fish, making swimming uncommon and
dangerous. Now, whenever I enter the ocean, I remember my ancestors for whom the sea was a place of terror rather
than freedom.
Only after my grandmother’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strong swimmer herself. She had been brushing
the ocean floor with her feet all along, keeping us afloat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deception was
not a lie but a profound act of bravery and courage. Though she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmother was
determined to teach me to swim — not for the strokes, but for the strength and self-belief that would keep me afloat
in life.
1. How was the grandmother different from other women at the beach?
A.She stayed with Black families only.
B.She avoided getting her hair and suits wet.
C.She seemed to swim with ease and strength.
D.She stood outside of the swimming section.
2. What does the author realize about African slaves?
A.They were poisonous by sea creatures.
B.They didn’t enjoy outdoor activities.
C.They rarely swam due to natural dangers.
D.They could have easily escaped by swimming.
3. Why did the grandmother teach the author to swim?
A.To challenge her limits.
B.To build her confidence.
C.To prepare her for dangers at sea.
D.To prove Black people could swim.

For decades, Body Mass Index (BMI) dominated weight assessments. This simple height-weight calculation
sorts people from underweight to overweight. Yet Dr. Melanie Jay from NYU points out its problems: BMI gives the
same ranges for 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents. It ignores muscle mass, bone density, and health
conditions, sometimes regarding fit individuals as overweight. Recent studies show that nearly 30% of people
classified as overweight by BMI actually have healthy body fat percentages and normal metabolic profiles.
1. Why does the author mention 20-year-old athletes and 70-year-old grandparents?
A. To show BMI’s limitations.
B. To prove BMI’s popularity.
C. To describe BMI’s main users.
D. To introduce BMI’s target group.
【答案】A
【详解】 此题为因果关系题。解题关键在于理解该例子在段落论证中所起的具体作用。正确选项A
的依据:该例子出现在第2 段,该段的核心是批判BMI 的缺陷。在提出“BMI gives the same ranges
for...” 之前,本段先总述“ BMI dominated...” ,然后通过“ Yet Dr. Melanie Jay... points out its
problems”进行转折。这个例子紧随其后,是作为“its problems”的具体例证。它生动地说明了BMI 标准
“一刀切”的荒谬性,即它无法区分体质截然不同的人群,从而证明了其“ignores muscle mass, bone
density, and health conditions”的局限性。错误选项解析:B. To prove BMI’s popularity.(为了证明BMI
的流行度):错误。该例子意在批判BMI 的问题,而非证明其流行。段首句已说明其“dominated”,无
需再证明。C. To describe BMI’s main users.(为了描述BMI 的主要使用者):错误。运动员和祖父母是
为了对比说明问题而举的例子,并非在描述BMI 的主要用户群体。D. To introduce BMI’s target group.
(为了介绍BMI 的目标群体):错误。BMI 作为一种通用筛查工具,并无特定目标群体。例子旨在揭示其

The Coller Dolittle Challenge financed by Jeremy Coller, a vegan and animal lover, is unashamedly modelled
on the Turing test (图灵测试). That 20th-century test promotes efforts to design a machine capable of imitating
human conversation, and became a touchstone in the evolution of AI. It also became a focus for concerns about
machines tricking, even taking over, humans. The ability to commune with other species is likely to raise similar,
unsettling questions as research progresses. If we were able to decode animal chatter, should this knowledge change
how we treat them, whether as pets, labour or food? The prize presents a moral challenge and it forces us to reconsider
our relationships with other species.
1. Why is Turing test mentioned in the passage?
A. To stress its role and value in AI progress.
B. To show its difference from the Challenge.
C. To warn of concerns the Challenge may face.
D. To show its use in interspecies communication.
【答案】C
【详解】此题为因果关系题。 解题关键在于把握第二段中图灵测试与挑战的类比关系。原文明确提到
图灵测试“became a focus for concerns about machines tricking, even taking over, humans”(成为了对
机器欺骗甚至接管人类的担忧焦点),并紧接着指出“The ability to commune with other species is likely
to raise similar, unsettling questions”(与其他物种交流的能力可能引发类似的、令人不安的问题)。因此,
提及图灵测试的核心目的是预警跨物种沟通研究可能面临的类似伦理和社会担忧。A 选项虽陈述事实,但
未触及作者引用图灵测试的深层意图;B 选项“显示不同”与原文“modelled on”(以...为模型)的表述

cultures of their own. The buildings within them are irreplaceable to the environment. Opting not to sustain such
architectures essentially is like sentencing a special community to disappearance. Building “green” can be about
preserving time-honored, local building traditions that respect regional cultures, rather than just using the latest and
greatest technologies.
The building materials and craftsmanship are also entitled to respect, not simply due to the environmental cost
of the extraction (开采), transportation and production of them, but on account of the reality that some of such
materials and the craftsmanship related will no longer exist. My little river cottage in West Virginia, which is
constructed with chestnut sourced from the period prior to the die-off of the chestnut trees, is such that the material
in question may never again be obtained. However, the prospective purchaser planned to tear it down, which, in my
view, is not only a mark of disrespect for the material but also goes against the concept of sustainable development.
As the Preservation Green Lab report demonstrates, it takes 10 to 80 years for a new building that is 30 percent
more efficient than an average-performing existing building to overcome the negative climate change consequences
linked to the construction, which emphasizes the necessity of ongoing utilization of pre-existing buildings and
communities, effectively preventing or minimizing the utilization of forests, farms, wildlife habitats, and open areas
for novel construction undertakings.
1. How do most people address old buildings?
A.They restore them actively.
B.They take them seriously.
C.They explore them fully.
D.They treat them lightly.
2. Why does the author mention his little river cottage in the passage?
A.To highlight the virtue of keeping old constructions.
B.To demonstrate the shortage of building materials.
C.To display the attachment to the old constructions.
D.To explain the complexity of building houses.

Have you ever heard about Black Friday and Cyber Monday? Surely, they are all about finding the best deals
on holiday gifts for yourself and family members. And have you heard about GivingTuesday? Here is something
about it!
GivingTuesday is observed annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, which encourages people to help
those in need by making financial donations or doing good in their local community. The “Global Day of Giving”
was started in 2012 by New York City nonprofit 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation.
Unlike Black Friday, GivingTuesday serves a more altruistic purpose. In its first year, the movement brought in
almost $10 million for charities, and things have only improved since. In 2019, many GivingTuesday social media
campaigns worldwide helped raise an amazing $ 1.9 billion from 27 million donors! Over the past five years, many
higher education institutions have also been using the Tuesday after Thanksgiving to ask alumni for donations. In
2019, the University of Michigan, which calls it Blueday, received 5887 gifts totaling over $4 million, while
Pennsylvania State University raised $710 000 to benefit over 85 University programs.
1.Why does the author mention Black Friday and Cyber Monday in Paragraph 1?
A.To make a comparison.
B.To lead to the topic.

A groundbreaking study published in The Lancet Public Health reveals that walking 7,000 steps daily can
significantly enhance brain function and lower the risk of major diseases, challenging the widely accepted but
unscientific 10,000-step standard.
Key Findings:
After analyzing data from more than 160,000 adults globally, researchers discovered that compared to just 2,000
steps per day, achieving 7,000 steps leads to:
25%lower risk of heart disease
6% reduced chance of cancer
38%decreased dementia risk
22%lower likelihood of depression
Lead researcher Dr.Melody Ding clarifies that the 10,000-step target traces back to a 1960s Japanese
pedometer (计步器) marketing strategy rather than medical evidence.
1. How many steps per day can significantly lower disease risks according to the study?
A.2,000 steps.
B.4,000 steps.
C.7,000 steps.
D.10,000 steps.

English Market Towns to Visit in the UK
English market towns come in many shapes and sizes. Each has a personality shaped by the goods and services
produced and traded for centuries. But each town has more to do than shop.
Hereford, Herefordshire
Hereford has remained a lively market town since 1189. Skirting the town square, you’ll find lovely shops,
eateries, and the Black and White House Museum. The Hereford Cathedral is the most impressive building in town.
It’s also home to an ancient library. One of the four original copies of the Magna Carta is displayed there.
Ludlow, Shropshire
Ludlow is known as the Foodie Center of England. Butcher shops, greengrocers, bakeries, and cheese shops
line the town square. Bordering the square, the Ludlow Castle is a “must explore” medieval stronghold. The three-
day Ludlow Food Festival is held each September.
Shrewsbury, Shropshire
Getting to Shrewsbury Town Center from London is challenging but worth the anxiety. The River Severn has
a significant turn through town, almost making an island of Shrewsbury Town Center. The shape creates a perfect
market where goods could be shipped and received using the river as a highway. Flowers are everywhere-hanging
baskets, window boxes, and planters-just what you imagine in an attractive English market town.
Mevagissey, Cornwall
Even if you haven’t been to the small fishing village Mevagissey, you’ve probably seen it in a movie or British
TV show. The working harbor (港口) took shape in 1774. Fishermen go out to sea daily and sell their fish in
harbor-side markets. Don’t leave the harbor without a traditional Cornish pie. It’s delicious.
1.Where can you find an original copy of the Magna Carta?
A.In the Ludlow Castle.
B.In the Foodie Center of England.
C.In the Hereford Cathedral.
D.In the Black and White House Museum.
2.What is a feature of Shrewsbury Town Center?
A.It’s situated near a big island.
B.It’s almost surrounded by water.
C.It’s known for its flower festival.
D.It’s easily accessible from London.
3.What does the author suggest visitors do in Mevagissey?
A.Try the Cornish pie.
B.Watch a British TV show.
C.Go fishing in the sea.
D.Take pictures of the harbor.

The greening of planes, trains and automobiles
Moving goods and people around the world is responsible for a large part of global CO2 emissions (排放). As
the world races to decarbonize everything, it faces particular problems with transportation — which accounts for
about a quarter of our energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Here’s the breakdown of the emissions in 2018 for
different modes of transport.
The fuels for transport need to be not just green, cheap and powerful, but also lightweight and safe enough to
be carried around. Each mode of transport has its specific fuel needs. Much is still to be settled, but here are some of
the solutions to get us going green.
PLANES — Synthetic hydrocarbonsThe
hardest sector to decarbonize is aviation. One
long-term option for sustainable fuel for planes
is to make hydrocarbons from recycled air.
CARS — BatteriesBatteries are energy-efficient and electric
cars can plug into existing systems and services. New solid-
state batteries will take a car farther on a single charge.
TRAINS — ElectricitySome
trains are already electrified
through rails or wires; others
can be made electric in pretty
simple ways.
TRUCKS — Hydrogenfuel cells
Hydrogen fuel cells are a lighter
choice than batteries for trucks, but
making green hydrogen is expensive.
SHIPS — Liquid ammoniaLiquid
ammonia is easy to keep and
transport, but it is hard to ignite (点
燃) and requires an engine redesign.
This energy transition (变革) is global, and the amount of renewable energy the world will need is “a little bit
mind-blowing,” says mechanical engineer Keith Wipke at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. It’s estimated
that the global demand for electricity could more than double by 2050. Fortunately, analyses suggest that renewables
are up to the task. “We need to speed up the development of green energy, and it will all get used,” says Wipke.
1.What percentage of global transport emissions did road vehicles account for in 2018?
A.11.6%.
B.45.1%.
C.74.5%.
D.86.1%.
2.Which mode of transport can go green comparatively easily?
A.Planes.
B.Trucks.
C.Trains.
D.Ships.
3.What does Wipke suggest regarding energy transition?
A.Limiting fuel consumption.
B.Putting more effort into renewables.
C.Improving energy efficiency.
D.Making electricity more affordable.

For decades, social scientists have debated the link between income and happiness. A 2025 cross-country study
published in the Journal of Positive Psychology — involving 120,000 participants from 45 countries across North
America, Europe, and Asia — offers new insights into this complex relationship, challenging some long-held
assumptions.
The research team, led by Dr. Elena Marquez from the University of Zurich, first analyzed the connection
between “absolute income” (total annual earnings) and self-reported happiness scores (measured on a 10-point scale).
They found that for individuals with annual incomes below 75,000, there was a strong positive correlation: each
10,000 increase in income was associated with a 0.8-point rise in happiness. However, above 75,000, the correlation
weakened dramatically — an additional 10,000 only led to a 0.1-point increase. Dr. Marquez labeled this $75,000
figure the “happiness threshold”: beyond this point, more money did not significantly boost happiness.
What surprised researchers even more was the impact of “relative income” (income compared to peers in the
same social group, such as colleagues or neighbors). For participants earning above the 75,000 threshold, relative
income became a key factor. Those who earned 20% more than their peers reported happiness scores 1.2 points higher
than those who earned 20% less — even if both groups had annual incomes above 100,000. “It’s not just how much
you have,” Dr. Marquez explained, “but how much you have compared to people around you. This ‘social comparison
effect’ often overriding the influence of absolute income once basic needs are met.”
The study also highlighted regional differences. In high-cost-of-living regions like New York or Tokyo, the
happiness threshold was slightly higher — around 95,000 — due to increased expenses for housing and daily
necessities. In contrast, in areas with lower living costs, such as parts of rural India or Vietnam, the threshold dropped
to 50,000. Notably, the social comparison effect was more pronounced in individualistic cultures (e.g., the U.S.,
Germany) than in collectivist cultures (e.g., Japan, Thailand), where community well-being is often prioritized over
personal income status.
Critics of the study point out its limitations: it relied on self-reported happiness scores, which may be influenced
by temporary mood swings, and it did not account for non-financial factors like health, family relationships, or
work-life balance — all of which affect happiness. Dr. Marquez acknowledged these gaps but emphasized the study’s
value: “Our findings help clarify when money matters for happiness and when it doesn’t. For policymakers, this
means focusing on reducing poverty (to lift people above the threshold) rather than just boosting overall economic
growth. For individuals, it’s a reminder that chasing more money beyond a certain point may not lead to greater
fulfillment.”
1. What can we learn about the “happiness threshold” from the study?
A.It is a fixed figure of $75,000 applicable to all regions.
B.Below this threshold, more money has little impact on happiness.
C.Above this threshold, relative income matters more than absolute income.
D.It is determined solely by an individual’s annual absolute income.
2. Why did participants earning 120,000 report lower happiness than those earning 100,000 in the same social
group?
A.Their absolute income was still below the happiness threshold.
B.They earned 20% less than their peers in the same group.
C.The 20,000 increase pushed them beyond the happiness threshold.
D.They lived in high-cost regions where the threshold was 95,000.
3. Which of the following is a limitation of the 2025 study?
A.It ignored the influence of relative income on happiness.
B.It only included participants from individualistic cultures.
C.It failed to consider non-financial factors affecting happiness.
D.It used an inaccurate 10-point scale to measure happiness.
4. What does Dr. Marquez suggest policymakers do based on the study’s findings?
A.Focus on increasing the overall economic growth rate.
B.Set a unified happiness threshold for all regions.
C.Prioritize reducing poverty to help people exceed the threshold.
D.Encourage people to compare their income with peers less frequently.

You don’t have to be rich to travel well. For my husband and I, this rings especially true: he’s retired early
and I work part-time as an editor, which gives us plenty of time and freedom but not much in the way of funds. We’ve
happily chosen free time over money, yet we love to travel, and travel usually costs a lot. Still, we’ve managed to
take a lot of affordable trips by house trading.
House trading isn’t the same as Airbnb or renting a room in someone’s home: there’s no exchange of money,
no check-in desks or strict rules, which makes it feel more like staying as guests in each other’s houses. Living in
someone else’s space builds a unique closeness — admiring their bookshelf picks, the way they arrange potted plants,
or family photos on the fridge turns virtual strangers into familiar faces. We’ve even grown repeat trades into real
friendships.
On our very first trade, our partner welcomed us with a bottle of wine and some cheese in the fridge, and we’ve
kept that gracious tradition going with our own “guests”. Since then, we’ve encountered all kinds of thoughtful acts
— from the young couple who left the keys in their mailbox along with a note that said “Enjoy!” to the family who
provided piles of maps, brochures, and local restaurant menus. With these small “insider” tips, we don’t just visit a
city — we slip into its daily flow, free from the rush of moving from one landmark to another.

D.To meet interesting people.

Once considered crazy by fellow villagers, Indonesian eco-warrior Sadiman has turned barren ( 荒芜)hills
green after 24 years of effort, making water resources available in the drought-prone mountainous region where he
lives.
Affectionately addressed as “mbah” or “grandpa”, the 72-year-old has worked persistently to plant trees in the
hills of central Java after fires to clear the land for cultivation nearly dried up its rivers and lakes. ”I thought to myself,
if I don’t plant trees, this area would become dry,“ said Sadiman.“In my experience, banyana trees (榕树)can store a
lot of water,” he said. The long and wide-spreading roots of at least 11,000 banyans trees Sadiman has planted over
617 acres help to retain groundwater and prevent land erosion.
Thanks to his effort, springs have formed where once there was barren and arid land, with their water piped to
homes and used to irrigate farms.
Yet, at the beginning, few village residents appreciated his work. “People ridiculed me for bringing banyan
tree seeds to the village, because they felt uneasy as they believed there are spirits in these trees,” Sadiman added.”
Some even thought he was a mad man because he swapped the goats he raised for saplings(树苗),” said one villager,
Warto. “In the past people thought he was crazy, but look at the result now,” Warto added. “He is able to provide
clean water to meet the needs of the people in several villages.”
Sadiman also funds his work through a nursery of plants such as cloves and jackfruit that he can sell or swap.
“Lack of rain in the area where he planted trees had once limited farmers to a single harvest a year, but now,
the abundant water sources ensure two or three,” he said. “I hope people here can have prosperous lives and live
happily. And don’t burn the forest over and over again,”Sadiman added, with a twinkle in his eye.
1. How did the villagers respond to Sadiman’s deeds initially?
A.They took an indifferent attitude to his activities.
B.They followed in his footsteps with great passion.
C.They were strongly in favor of his tree-planting.
D.They regarded him as crazy and made fun of him.
3. What result does Sadiman’s tree-planting work bring?
A.The region has become a completely wet area.
B.Farmers now get three or four harvests yearly.
C.Springs appear and water serves homes and farms.
D.Rivers and lakes have returned to their original size.

You might want to think twice about that bottled water — because it looks like almost any contact food and
drinks have with plastic packaging can cause microplastics and nanoplastics (纳米塑料) to be released, which end
up in our bodies. That’s according to a new study by researchers in Switzerland.
Microplastics are small pieces of plastic that are less than five millimeters in diameter (直径). Nanoplastics
are even smaller — they’re less than 0.000001 millimeters across. The researchers suggested that simply unwrapping
plastic- covered food or tearing open a plastic food package can cause these tiny particles (颗粒) to be released. The
same is true of making a tea bag in hot water or opening drink bottles that have plastic tops.
In fact, the research team said that microplastics and nanoplastics are released every time a bottle is opened.
They said their study provided the “first systematic evidence” of how normal use of plastic-packed foods and drinks
can contaminate foods with microplastics.
To get their findings, researchers looked at 103 different studies on microplastics. While these varied in quality
and reliability, the researchers said seven were found to be “highly reliable”. And the researchers concluded that
microplastics and nanoplastics enter food and drinks from a large variety of sources — although further high- quality
research is needed. It’s still not clear exactly how harmful microplastics and nanoplastics are to our bodies. But
studies on animal and human cells have suggested that they could be linked to an increased risk of cancer and heart
problems, as well as other issues.
Experts from Stanford University in the US have said that microplastics are “impossible” to avoid because
they are “in the water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the air we breathe”. But they say we can
reduce our exposure to them. Studies like the one done by the researchers in Switzerland can help us make wiser
choices, and may affect the decisions made by companies and governments in the future.
1. Which of the following has possible negative health effects according to the study?
A.Using paper bags to carry bread.
B.Storing food in metal containers.
C.Drinking water from glass bottles.
D.Eating food in plastic package.
3. What can we learn from the microplastic researches?
A.Most studies on microplastics are highly reliable.
B.Microplastic sources in foods have been fully identified.
C.The harm of microplastics to humans remains unclear.
D.Nanoplastics are certain to directly cause cancer.
4. What do experts from Stanford University suggest people do?
A.Accept microplastics naturally.
B.Quit the use of plastic products.
C.Consult professional organizations.
D.Minimize contact with microplastics.

For twenty years, the internet has been my second home while communicating science. Recently, I came across
an image: a crying Earth surrounded by fallen trees, declaring, “No intelligent species would destroy their own home.”
This image troubled me deeply. I refuse to let my eight-year-old son believe humans are stupid or evil — because it’s
obviously untrue. But I often find myself quite lonely. I’m wondering if, perhaps, there are other folks out there who
feel the same as I do.
We didn’t cause climate change through being stupid, but through being extremely smart. Our ancestors burned
coal to solve urgent problems: growing more food, heating and lighting homes. We want to provide a good life for
ourselves and our children. The results have been astonishing. In the U.S. in 1895 one quarter of people died before
age five. Today it’s under 1 percent, and we will keep pushing until it hits zero. Imagine the essays Ben Franklin or
Mark Twain would write about this level of advancement. How would they keep tears from their eyes if they saw
what we’ve achieved?
So much of that achievement has been based on the fossil fuels we’ve burned to generate it, whether coal,
natural gas or oil. We’ve learned that this harms both the environment and people, and to our credit we aren’t always
bad at addressing this. It was not long ago that London cleaned its smoke-blackened air. When rain becomes acidic,
the world changes its policies. When harms are done locally, we tend to be pretty good at cleaning things up. Here’s
where I feel hope: we have already done this, and we know it is possible.
I don’t want my son growing up thinking that his species is in some way evil. I want him thinking humans are
problem solvers, and whatever strategies we take to fix global warming will create more new problems, too. This is
a pretty normal story for intelligent species.

3. What gives the author hope in addressing environmental problems?
A.The complete replacement of fossil fuels.
B.The declining global birth rate.
C.The development of problem-free strategies.
D.Humanity’s proven ability to solve local environmental issues.
4. What is the core message about humanity that the author intends to pass on to his son?
A.The essence of humanity is problem-solving, not destruction.
B.Human intellect is the fundamental cause of its environmental issues.
C.Environmental damage has permanently overshadowed our technological gains.
D.A sustainable future requires a complete break from fossil fuels.

Shirley Raines makes the homeless community in Los Angeles’s skid row (贫民窟) neighborhood feel human.
She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and
make-up services for the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year!
In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma's
house. This event caused a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what
to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day six years ago, Shirley visited
the skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized
how much help they needed, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty.
Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her
make-up, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her
and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took
most of her spare time.
Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even livestreaming (网络直播) some of her
events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit organization, Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly
began donating money or time to expand Shirley’s impact. Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people,
including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly
donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless.
Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real
impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others.

After years spent running and dieting, Casey Johnston came across a post about weightlifting.
“I don’t lift to be attractive. I lift to be strong,” Johnston recalls one devoted powerlifter posting.
“Liar,” Johnston thought to herself. “After all, isn’t attractiveness the reason why most people work out?”
Johnston wanted to look attractive in college. She tried, at first, just dieting. That didn’t get her all the way to
where she thought she should be — weight-wise. Then she started running. She was running more and more and
eating less and less, but sort of staying in the same place. She just had the impression that she should always be losing
weight.
Then she learned that what had happened through all of this weight-loss pursuit was that she had dieted and
exercised away all of her lean body mass (去脂体重). She thought her muscles were just there waiting to be uncovered
if she lost enough weight. It turned out that, actually, if you aren’t protecting your muscles actively, they can go
away.
While running, Johnston found it punishing, but it was a way to achieve one goal that consumed her: not being
fat. She had absorbed the cultural message that the purpose of exercise was to make her as small as possible.
Johnston admits that she was first drawn to weightlifting for the same reason. But gradually, she discovered
strength training could offer more.
She says lifting weights helped repair her disordered eating and allowed her to enjoy food. “When I gave it a
chance, with these basic elements, I found it transformative. That work of looking closer and listening to myself is
worth the time,” she shares. “Most importantly, it changed my attitude about my own body, from one centered on
denial of pleasure to a relationship that now embraces movement, rest and eating equally. My body could feel good,
even powerful.”
1. How did Johnston find the post at first?
A.Inspiring.
B.Ordinary.
C.Innovative.
D.Unconvincing.
2. What was the outcome of Johnston’s dieting and running in college?
A.She became too weak to study.
B.She gained more lean body mass.
C.She didn’t look the way she had expected.
D.She lost more weight than planned.
3. Why did Johnston start to learn to lift weights?
A.For weight loss.
B.For education.
C.For entertainment.
D.For cultural exchange.
