Tgether, they have cllected mre than 1 tn f aluminum cans, nearly 1,000 cans a week fr a year. In January, he c-funded a club called the Cleanup Kids with his best friend.

His missin nw is saving the earth’s rivers, which he pints ut are even mre plluted than the wrld’s ceans. “Eighty percent f the cean’s trash cmes frm rivers,” he says. In 2019, he adpted the name Cnservatin Kid n Instagram, and started psting abut things like hw smething as simple as a deserted face mask can entangle (缠住), chke, and kill turtles, birds, and fish. Mask waste has increased an estimated 9,000% since the pandemic(疫情) began.

The Rman Clsseum was built almst tw thusand years ag. Despite its age and a 14th century earthquake that kncked dwn the suth side, mst f the 150-sme ft building is still standing. Scientists and engineers have lng suspected a key t the building’s durability (使用年限) is the use f a specific Rman cncrete. But exactly hw this slid cncrete has cntributed t the architecture’s strength has been a mystery t researchers acrss the glbe.
A team f researchers recently discvered a ptential answer t why these ancient Rman buildings have been able t weather the test f time while many mdern cncrete structures seem t fall apart after a few decades. The answer is self-healing cncrete.
The material has three cmpnents: limestne (石灰石), vlcanic material and water. What the researchers fund was that the self-healing feature might be simply caused by chemistry accidentally. The limestne in the cncrete is likely the secret.
When the ancient Rmans made mrtar (灰浆), they heated up the lime t turn it int a substance called “quicklime”. And, because they intrduced water t the quicklime during mixing, the heat it prduced set up a chemical fundatin that culd strengthen the cncrete later. When tiny cracks start t frm later, the quicklime stps them frm becming bigger. When it rains, the lime reacts with the water t recmbine as varius frms f calcium carbnate (碳酸钙), quickly filling the crack r reacting with the vlcanic ash t “heal” the material.
Fr materials scientist Ainissa Ramirez, this new understanding f ancient Rman cncrete is a welcme discvery. “This is ne way that the material can be mre envirnmentally friendly,” says Ramirez. “It’s srt f like a message in a bttle. The Rmans made the material. We had t kind f figure ut hw they did it s that we can make better materials — and then, yu knw, in turn, be better prtectrs f ur envirnment.”
8. What can we learn frm Paragraph 1?
A. The secret f Rman cncrete has been revealed.
B. The Rman Clsseum was built in the 14th century.
C. The whle Rman Clsseum survived the earthquake.
D. Rman cncrete is essential t the architecture’s strength.
9. What des the underlined wrd “weather” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Take.B. Stand.C. Avid.D. Fail.
10. What d we knw abut the self-healing prcess?
A. The lime itself culd fill the crack later.
B. The quicklime shuld be made n rainy days.
C. The chemical fundatin culd weaken the cncrete.
D. Cmbining water and quicklime wuld prduce heat.
11. What can be inferred frm Ramirez’s wrds?
A Peple can be inspired t make greener materials.

New research suggests that ne night f sleep with just a small amunt f light may have negative effects n health.
The small, 20-persn study cnducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, directr f the Center fr Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed t measure the physilgical effects f 100 lux (照度) f artificial light n healthy adults while they were sleeping. Fr the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mstly dark rm. The next night, half f them slept in a better lit rm. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests n the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and bld. In the mrning, they’d give bth grups a large amunt f sugar t see hw well their systems respnded t it.
The grup expsed t the light had raised heart rates thrughut the night, and als had truble getting their bld sugar int a nrmal range.
These changes suggest the small amunt f light was enugh t shift the nervus system t a mre excited and alert state. “It’s almst like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were n, althugh the individual was sleeping,” says Zee.
While the findings f this study alne can’t predict what wuld happen in the lng term, Dr. Clwell suspects the harmful effects wuld be cumulative: “This was nly ne night, s imagine if yu’ re living that way cnstantly?”
“That’s ging t increase the risk f lng-term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whse research has lked at the cnsequences f circadian rhythm sleep disrder fr lnger than just ne night. He cncluded that the unpleasant effects were primarily because f the “internal clck” being disturbed — nt necessarily because f the lack f sleep.
This is nt t say that the lack f sleep desn’t als have negative effects n health — it des — but he says it simply stresses the lasting cnsequences f being expsed t light at nighttime.
“Peple think that as lng as they fall asleep and are uncnscius, it’s nt having physilgical effects, but that’s simply nt true,” Czeisler says.
12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. Hw the study is carried ut.B. What type f light affects sleep.
C. Wh is in charge f the research.D. Why light and sleep are cnnected.
13. What d we knw abut the new research?
A. Light plays a critical rle in regulating circadian rhythm.
B. A small amunt f light at night is linked with sleep depth.
C. Leaving the bedrm lights n leads t mental disrder.
D. Sleeping with a little bit f light isn’t gd fr yur health.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cumulative” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Cmmn.B. Slight.C. Increasing.D. Accidental.
15. Which f the fllwing might Czeisler agree with?
A. The mre yu sleep, the healthier yu will be.
B. Physilgical effects disappear with a sund sleep.
C. Sleep quality lies in hw yu feel abut the sleep.
D. It is the circadian rhythm sleep disrder that matters.

New research suggests that ne night f sleep with just a small amunt f light may have negative effects n health.
The small, 20-persn study cnducted by Dr. Phyllis Zee, directr f the Center fr Circadian (生理节奏的) and Sleep Medicine, was designed t measure the physilgical effects f 100 lux (照度) f artificial light n healthy adults while they were sleeping. Fr the study, all the participants spent their first night sleeping in a mstly dark rm. The next night, half f them slept in a better lit rm. Meanwhile, the researchers ran tests n the sleepers: brainwaves, heart rates and bld. In the mrning, they’d give bth grups a large amunt f sugar t see hw well their systems respnded t it.
The grup expsed t the light had raised heart rates thrughut the night, and als had truble getting their bld sugar int a nrmal range.
These changes suggest the small amunt f light was enugh t shift the nervus system t a mre excited and alert state. “It’s almst like the brain and the heart knew that the lights were n, althugh the individual was sleeping,” says Zee.
While the findings f this study alne can’t predict what wuld happen in the lng term, Dr. Clwell suspects the harmful effects wuld be cumulative: “This was nly ne night, s imagine if yu’ re living that way cnstantly?”
“That’s ging t increase the risk f lng-term diseases,” says Dr. Charles Czeisler whse research has lked at the cnsequences f circadian rhythm sleep disrder fr lnger than just ne night. He cncluded that the unpleasant effects were primarily because f the “internal clck” being disturbed — nt necessarily because f the lack f sleep.
This is nt t say that the lack f sleep desn’t als have negative effects n health — it des — but he says it simply stresses the lasting cnsequences f being expsed t light at nighttime.
“Peple think that as lng as they fall asleep and are uncnscius, it’s nt having physilgical effects, but that’s simply nt true,” Czeisler says.
12. What is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. Hw the study is carried ut.B. What type f light affects sleep.
C. Wh is in charge f the research.D. Why light and sleep are cnnected.
13. What d we knw abut the new research?
A. Light plays a critical rle in regulating circadian rhythm.
B. A small amunt f light at night is linked with sleep depth.
C. Leaving the bedrm lights n leads t mental disrder.
D. Sleeping with a little bit f light isn’t gd fr yur health.
14. What des the underlined wrd “cumulative” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Cmmn.B. Slight.C. Increasing.D. Accidental.
15. Which f the fllwing might Czeisler agree with?
A. The mre yu sleep, the healthier yu will be.
B. Physilgical effects disappear with a sund sleep.
C. Sleep quality lies in hw yu feel abut the sleep.
D. It is the circadian rhythm sleep disrder that matters.
