Nrth Americans value independence, and Eurpeans value tgetherness. I never fully understd that steretype until tw mnths ag, when I left Canada fr a4-mnth perid in a lab in France. On my first day, Pierre, a Ph.D. student, tapped me n my shulder and asked, “Cffee?” I ndded and fllwed him t the cmmn rm, where ther grad students were filing in. I sat there, cautiusly sipping the bitter liquid and trying hard nt t reveal my uncultured tastes, while lab chatter filled the air.
Cffee breaks are a ceremnial part f lab culture here. The chatter smetimes turns t serius scientific tpics. But mstly, the meet-ups ffer a chance t wind dwn, t share stries abut life inside and utside the lab and t sympathize with peple wh understand what yu’re ging thrugh.
The lighthearted atmsphere and sense f cmmunity is a welcme cntrast t my life in Canada, where I spent mst f my wrkdays in islatin. I went int the lab each mrning with set gals fr my day. At lunch, I’d keep my eyes glued t my cmputer while I fed frkfuls f salad int my muth, trying t pwer thrugh my t-d list.

My time in France has taught me that it’s imprtant t create space fr rganic cnversatins abut lab life. A scientist’s life can feel islating, but it’s nt necessarily s when yu’re cnnected t a supprtive cmmunity.
4. Hw did the authr feel when he drank cffee fr the first time in France?

Beethven appears t have created a wrk f art that nt nly freed him frm his persnal struggles, but ne that als speaks t the jy f living tgether in peace and harmny.
Have a dialgue between the tw ppsing parts and yu will find that they always start ut fighting each ther until we cme t an appreciatin f difference—a neness f the tw ppsing frces.

Disease-carrying msquites can spread diseases withut affecting themselves. Nearly 700 millin peple get a msquit-brne illness each year, which results in ver ne millin deaths. Humans experience cntinuus pressures frm disease-carrying msquites in many parts f the wrld, s we have t find ways t fight against thse insects because they keep getting scarier.
Even thugh DEET remains the mst cmmnly usedand mst pwerfulmsquit repellent (防护剂) ever develped, scientists are actively pursuing effective prducts based entirely n plant ils. While DEET is an effective cntact repellent, many peple dislike the ily feel and smell n their skin, and smetimes sme peple are sensitive t it. Cnsumers are always interested in alternatives t DEET and ther synthetic (合成的) repellents, s there are numerus natural repellents n the market.
In my lab at Iwa State University, my team and I have been cnducting research n natural prducts as pssible insect repellents fr the past 20 years. In the past few years, three f my Ph.D. students havecntributed greatly t ur research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing and testing mre than 300 clsely related chemicals cming frm the best f natural repellents like citrnelll, menthl and thyml.
These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species f dangerus msquites. The first grup f the new repellents act thrugh the air. These chemicals have a vapr actin that prvides prtectin. These are ptentially mst useful in backyards, parks, huses, barracks and hrse barns. The ther grup f the new repellents are the classic nes that stp insects frm standing n a treated surface, such as human skin, clthing r tents; sme researchers have cnducted testing n sme humans t cnfirm the effectiveness and identify the very best nes.
The new repellents were designed and made frm the natural materials in plant essential ils. They maintain many f the advantages f the natural repellents: They are fully bidegradable (可生物降解的), with n eclgical cncerns r envirnmental wastes, and generally cnsidered safe like the thusands f types f plant essential ils used in the flavr and perfume industries. Hwever, thrugh testing will be cnducted t determine if they are truly nn-pisnus because there is still n enugh evidence.
12. What des the authr mainly want t shw in Paragraph 1?
A. The way msquites spread disease.
B. The high death rate f msquit-brne illness.
C. The difficulty f fighting disease-carrying msquites.
D. The urgency f finding tls t fight against msquites.
13. What is a disadvantage f DEET?
A. It causes discmfrt t the users. B. It greatly harms peple’s health.
C. It can’t be applied universally. D. It wn’t be effective fr lng.
14. What can we learn abut the secnd grup f the new repellents?
A. They can kill msquites indirectly.
B. They are mainly used in the pen air.
C. They are mre effective n human skin.
D. They can prevent msquites frm cntacting users.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude t the new repellents?

Disease-carrying msquites can spread diseases withut affecting themselves. Nearly 700 millin peple get a msquit-brne illness each year, which results in ver ne millin deaths. Humans experience cntinuus pressures frm disease-carrying msquites in many parts f the wrld, s we have t find ways t fight against thse insects because they keep getting scarier.
Even thugh DEET remains the mst cmmnly usedand mst pwerfulmsquit repellent (防护剂) ever develped, scientists are actively pursuing effective prducts based entirely n plant ils. While DEET is an effective cntact repellent, many peple dislike the ily feel and smell n their skin, and smetimes sme peple are sensitive t it. Cnsumers are always interested in alternatives t DEET and ther synthetic (合成的) repellents, s there are numerus natural repellents n the market.
In my lab at Iwa State University, my team and I have been cnducting research n natural prducts as pssible insect repellents fr the past 20 years. In the past few years, three f my Ph.D. students havecntributed greatly t ur research by designing, synthesizing, purifying, characterizing and testing mre than 300 clsely related chemicals cming frm the best f natural repellents like citrnelll, menthl and thyml.
These students have successfully tested these repellents against three species f dangerus msquites. The first grup f the new repellents act thrugh the air. These chemicals have a vapr actin that prvides prtectin. These are ptentially mst useful in backyards, parks, huses, barracks and hrse barns. The ther grup f the new repellents are the classic nes that stp insects frm standing n a treated surface, such as human skin, clthing r tents; sme researchers have cnducted testing n sme humans t cnfirm the effectiveness and identify the very best nes.
The new repellents were designed and made frm the natural materials in plant essential ils. They maintain many f the advantages f the natural repellents: They are fully bidegradable (可生物降解的), with n eclgical cncerns r envirnmental wastes, and generally cnsidered safe like the thusands f types f plant essential ils used in the flavr and perfume industries. Hwever, thrugh testing will be cnducted t determine if they are truly nn-pisnus because there is still n enugh evidence.
12. What des the authr mainly want t shw in Paragraph 1?
A. The way msquites spread disease.
B. The high death rate f msquit-brne illness.
C. The difficulty f fighting disease-carrying msquites.
D. The urgency f finding tls t fight against msquites.
13. What is a disadvantage f DEET?
A. It causes discmfrt t the users. B. It greatly harms peple’s health.
C. It can’t be applied universally. D. It wn’t be effective fr lng.
14. What can we learn abut the secnd grup f the new repellents?
A. They can kill msquites indirectly.
B. They are mainly used in the pen air.
C. They are mre effective n human skin.
D. They can prevent msquites frm cntacting users.
15. What’s the authr’s attitude t the new repellents?
