Grwing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, tgether with his family, always celebrated significant ccasins by planting trees, which mtivated him t prtect the envirnment. It’s what the nw 18-year-ld sccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an nging prblem with defrestatin.
Mutunkei fllws in the ftsteps f the late Kenyan Nbel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai wh funded the Green Belt Mvement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting f ver 51 millin trees t date.
In 2018, Lesein decided t start a mvement f his wn. He started by planting ne tree fr every gal he scred during a ftball match. He called it Trees4Gals, and it has grwn s much that he nw plants 11 trees, ne fr each member f his team, every time he scres. Thrugh this, he wants t inspire yung peple, specifically his fellw athletes, t fllw in his ftsteps, take nature cnservatin seriusly, and prmise t plant trees every time they scre. As a result, sme f them have adapted this practice fr their sprts. “Seeing that they’re taking that respnsibility because f the prject I started, fr me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said.
The initiative has caught the attentin f English ftball club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry f Envirnment and Frestry, which he nw wrks with regularly and gets advice frm.

The past few mnths have brught electrifying news that, fr the first time, a gene treatment has prvided sme hearing t children brn with deafness.
Eli Lilly annunced this week, fr example, that a prfundly deaf by frm Mrcc given its treatment as part f a clinical trial in Philadelphia can nw hear. And five children in China treated similarly at yunger ages gained hearing with sme able t verbally cmmunicate withut their cchlear implants(人工耳蜗). Their hearing recvery, first cvered by the press in Octber 2023, is described in detail this week in The Lancet.
“It’s an enrmus achievement,” says geneticist Karen Avraham f Tel Aviv University. Otlarynglgist(耳鼻喉科专家) and gene therapist Lawrence Lustig f Clumbia University, whse lab was amng the first t test the same apprach in mice, agrees. “Other than cchlear implants, we haven’t really had any successful treatment s t treat deafness,” he ntes.
The varius effrts frm cmpanies and academic centers each use a virus t insert the same gene, OTOF, int the children’s inner ear s the s-called hair cells there can sense sund and transmit it t the brain.
The new deafness treatments add t a string f recent successes fr the gene treatment field, but als raise questins. The ear’s hair cells dn’t divide, s the new cpies f OTOF they cntain shuld persist and cntinue t instruct the cells t make OTOF. Gene expressin culd drp ff ver time r the ear culd munt an immune respnse that shuts it ff.
But Lustig is ptimistic that the varius challenges will be vercme. “Nw that we’ve gt ne success stry, there’s ging t be mre mney cming in t fund sme f these ther prjects,” he says.
28. What d we knw abut the new treatment?
A. It is a ttally mature practice. B. It’s a China-nly clinical trial.
C. It uses a virus t sense sund. D. It aims t treat the deafness.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes the impact f the treatment?
A. Breakthrugh. B. Regret. C. Disappintment. D. Adventure.
30. What is the prblem f the gene treatment?
A. The brain refuses t receive it. B. Gene stps t prduce hair cells.
C. Gene expressin might be weakened. D. Cmpanies really prfit a lt frm it.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Electrifying News Based n Sme Clinical Trials
B. Gene Treatment That Brings Deaf Children Hpe
C. Ways Hw Scientists Develp Cchlear Implants
D. Challenges Abut the New Deafness Treatment

Hundreds r even thusands f jackdaws(寒鸦) are knwn t launch int the winter sky at nce frm the treetps at sunrise, and then split int smaller grups t feed thrughut the day. Nw, eclgists knw that this synchrnized(同步的) departure is timed with a cmplicated behavir called “cnsensus decisin-making”, where the majrity agree t take actin.
T figure it ut, researchers in the United Kingdm recrded hundreds f hurs f their bird calls in Crnwall ver several mnths. They measured when the first jackdaws began their calls, hw lud the birds were, and hw quickly the swell(增强) f calls rse, and then cmpared these sunds t ftage(镜头) f thse birds’ departures. The team fund that the jackdaw grup left tgether nce the chrus f calls reached a critical mass--the mre rapidly the chrus swelled, the earlier the birds left.
“They all leave tgether in a few secnds. The sky just fills with black birds frthwith. It is just like a black snwstrm,” Alex Thrntn, an eclgist at the University f Exeter, UK, tld New Scientist. Every call is a jackdaw casting its vte t leave. “At first yu just get a few calls, then mre and mre birds jin in and it builds and builds. And the steeper the increase, the earlier they leave,” Thrntn added. On rare ccasins, when the intensity f the chrus desn’t build enugh and the jackdaws dn 't agree, the birds instead launch ff in small numbers.
The team als fund that nce jackdaws reached a cnsensus they departed almst immediately, with hundreds f individuals flying in less than five secnds. When scientist splayed past recrdings f calls back t the jackdaws, getting in the way f the grup's natural crescend(渐强的声音), they were able t push frward the birds’ launching by mre than six minutes. The birds did nt, hwever, change their launch times in respnse t ther nises.
“The gregarius(群居的) birds prefer t leave as a grup, althugh each jackdaw will have a slightly different preference as t when they want t leave, based n factrs like their size and hunger,” Alex Dibnah, a University f Exeter graduate student and lead authr f the study, said in a statement. “Leaving the rst(栖息处) tgether has varius benefits, including safety frm predatrs and access t infrmatin such as where t find fd.”
This research shws the critical rle vcalizatins(发声) play in grup decisin-making fr this species. One next step fr this research, accrding t the authrs, is t figure ut hw human-created nises might affect this prcess and the spread f infrmatin thrughut these cmmunities.
“Imagine a big rst near a twn r busy rad,” Thrntn said. “If the birds can’t hear each ther and can’t frm a cnsensus t leave tgether, it culd have big impacts n their ppulatin.”
What is the purpse f the research in Crnwall?
A. T understand hw jackdaws reach an agreement.
B. T study what makes jackdaws’ departure time unique.
C. T make a cmparisn f jackdaws' calls with ther birds’.
D. T assess the imprtance f jackdaws' cmplicated behavirs.
33. What des the underlined “frthwith” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Frequently. B. Gradually.C. Traditinally.D. Immediately.
34. What can be inferred abut the jackdaw grup frm Paragraph 4?
A. It can reach an agreement within secnds.
B. Its launch times vary little frm seasn t seasn.
C. It can distinguish its natural calls frm ther nises.
D. It makes n respnse t the past recrdings f calls.
35. What d the researchers plan t study next?
A. The impacts f human hunting n jackdaws’ ppulatin.
B. The effects f nises n jackdaws' grup decisin-making.
C. The way jackdaws spread infrmatin in their cmmunities.
D. The rle f jackdaws' vcalizatins in grup decisin-making.

In early Octber, Travis Gienger transprted an enrmus pumpkin(南瓜) frm his hme in Minnesta t the Wrld Champinship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Califrnia. His pumpkin set the recrd fr the biggest ne ever grwn in Nrth America. Hw d cmpetitive grwers get their pumpkins t grw t massive sizes? 36
Gienger, wh teaches hrticulture(园艺学) at Anka Technical Cllege, begins grwing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grws indrs fr the first few weeks, when Minnesta’s sil is t frsty. 37 They can absrb sunlight, nutrients frm the sil, and water there. “At their peak, yu 're watering them with at least 600 liters a day,” he says.
Depending n the variety, pumpkin plants can grw up t a dzen fruits n a single vine(藤曼). But t maximize size, grwers remve all but ne r tw f these pumpkins in rder t decrease each individual fruit's cmpetitin fr resurces._ 38
But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grws? Tw factrs drive natural grwth: cell divisin and cell expansin. Cell divisin accunts fr mst f the grwth at the beginning f a fruit's life. This perid lasts fr abut 20 days in pumpkin plants. 39 Pumpkin cells will expand until arund 50 r 60 days after pllinatin (授粉).
40 Sme varieties f pumpkins have been bred specifically t maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variatin even amng pumpkins f the same variety. This has led t cmpetitin fr the best seeds. Fllwing each harvest, many grwers auctin ff(拍卖掉) the seeds frm their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used fr the fllwing year’s plantings.
A. Bilgy has the answers.
B. Genetics als influences pumpkin grwth.
C. The fllwing tips will give yu a head start.
D. Once it warms up, the plants are transferred utside.
E. When it stps, cell expansin will then cme int play.
F. Grwers extend the grwth perid fr as lng as pssible.
G. Grwers als remve the weeds in the area fr the same reasn.

It had been a challenging week, marked by a sudden large increase in il prices cinciding with a sharp drp in temperatures in Bstn. It was nearly belw zer degree. With three missed wrkdays under my belt, my upcming paycheck was ging t be lwer than nrmal. The stress weighed heavily n me as I carefully sught fr every cnceivable pprtunity t save pennies, ensuring that I culd affrd bth grceries and keep the huse warm.
My eight-year-ld sn didn’t understand when I tld him we were struggling that week. He had his heart set n a particular brand f ygurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dllars t buy it fr him. It was the kind f ygurt decrated with a cartn child skatebarding n its packaging, cntaining a mere tw spnfuls per cup. Such prducts, designed t lure children with their flashy marketing, nly served t make me hate advertising.
Hwever, a bunch f parental guilt gripped me as his inncent eyes met mine, silently questining, “Why is ygurt such a big deal?” Determined t sweep his disappintment, I made a sacrifice typical f single mthers. I returned an item needed t the shelf, ensuring that he culd enjy his favrite ygurt.
On the jurney back frm the grcery stre, a sight caught my attentin—a hmeless man, hlding a sign by the radside. My heart ached, and I turned arund, bserving passers-by purpsefully steer(绕开) clear f him, aviding any meaningful interactin. Even my sn didn’t seem t care much. either. Yet, upn clser inspectin, I nticed the man—bare hands grasping a piece f cardbard, snt frzen t his face, a wrn-ut jacket. And there I was struggling because I had t buy il and grceries. But I decided t help. I pulled ver t the man and handed him a five-dllar bill.

Grwing up in Kenya, Lesein Mutunkei, tgether with his family, always celebrated significant ccasins by planting trees, which mtivated him t prtect the envirnment. It’s what the nw 18-year-ld sccer player treasures, especially since Kenya has an nging prblem with defrestatin.
Mutunkei fllws in the ftsteps f the late Kenyan Nbel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai wh funded the Green Belt Mvement in 1977. This initiative has resulted in the planting f ver 51 millin trees t date.
In 2018, Lesein decided t start a mvement f his wn. He started by planting ne tree fr every gal he scred during a ftball match. He called it Trees4Gals, and it has grwn s much that he nw plants 11 trees, ne fr each member f his team, every time he scres. Thrugh this, he wants t inspire yung peple, specifically his fellw athletes, t fllw in his ftsteps, take nature cnservatin seriusly, and prmise t plant trees every time they scre. As a result, sme f them have adapted this practice fr their sprts. “Seeing that they’re taking that respnsibility because f the prject I started, fr me, that is the biggest achievement,” he said.
The initiative has caught the attentin f English ftball club Arsenal and Kenya’s Ministry f Envirnment and Frestry, which he nw wrks with regularly and gets advice frm.
Like Green Belt Mvement, Trees4Gals, which has planted 5,500 trees s far, has made it. While Lesein has received sme recgnitin fr his initiative, he sets his sights n making it a wrldwide phenmenn. “Ftball is a universal game, and climate change is a universal prblem,” he explains. “It has the pwer t unite, educate and inspire my generatin t create a safer and greener future.” This is why he wants t wrk with the wrld’s biggest ftball federatin FIFA.
As fr what thers can d t fight defrestatin r ther envirnmental cncerns, the teenager says it’s imprtant t just get invlved in sme way, n matter hw small.

The past few mnths have brught electrifying news that, fr the first time, a gene treatment has prvided sme hearing t children brn with deafness.
Eli Lilly annunced this week, fr example, that a prfundly deaf by frm Mrcc given its treatment as part f a clinical trial in Philadelphia can nw hear. And five children in China treated similarly at yunger ages gained hearing with sme able t verbally cmmunicate withut their cchlear implants(人工耳蜗). Their hearing recvery, first cvered by the press in Octber 2023, is described in detail this week in The Lancet.
“It’s an enrmus achievement,” says geneticist Karen Avraham f Tel Aviv University. Otlarynglgist(耳鼻喉科专家) and gene therapist Lawrence Lustig f Clumbia University, whse lab was amng the first t test the same apprach in mice, agrees. “Other than cchlear implants, we haven’t really had any successful treatment s t treat deafness,” he ntes.
The varius effrts frm cmpanies and academic centers each use a virus t insert the same gene, OTOF, int the children’s inner ear s the s-called hair cells there can sense sund and transmit it t the brain.
The new deafness treatments add t a string f recent successes fr the gene treatment field, but als raise questins. The ear’s hair cells dn’t divide, s the new cpies f OTOF they cntain shuld persist and cntinue t instruct the cells t make OTOF. Gene expressin culd drp ff ver time r the ear culd munt an immune respnse that shuts it ff.
But Lustig is ptimistic that the varius challenges will be vercme. “Nw that we’ve gt ne success stry, there’s ging t be mre mney cming in t fund sme f these ther prjects,” he says.
28. What d we knw abut the new treatment?
A. It is a ttally mature practice. B. It’s a China-nly clinical trial.
C. It uses a virus t sense sund. D. It aims t treat the deafness.
29. Which f the fllwing best describes the impact f the treatment?
A. Breakthrugh. B. Regret. C. Disappintment. D. Adventure.
30. What is the prblem f the gene treatment?
A. The brain refuses t receive it. B. Gene stps t prduce hair cells.
C. Gene expressin might be weakened. D. Cmpanies really prfit a lt frm it.
31. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Electrifying News Based n Sme Clinical Trials
B. Gene Treatment That Brings Deaf Children Hpe
C. Ways Hw Scientists Develp Cchlear Implants
D. Challenges Abut the New Deafness Treatment

Hundreds r even thusands f jackdaws(寒鸦) are knwn t launch int the winter sky at nce frm the treetps at sunrise, and then split int smaller grups t feed thrughut the day. Nw, eclgists knw that this synchrnized(同步的) departure is timed with a cmplicated behavir called “cnsensus decisin-making”, where the majrity agree t take actin.
T figure it ut, researchers in the United Kingdm recrded hundreds f hurs f their bird calls in Crnwall ver several mnths. They measured when the first jackdaws began their calls, hw lud the birds were, and hw quickly the swell(增强) f calls rse, and then cmpared these sunds t ftage(镜头) f thse birds’ departures. The team fund that the jackdaw grup left tgether nce the chrus f calls reached a critical mass--the mre rapidly the chrus swelled, the earlier the birds left.
“They all leave tgether in a few secnds. The sky just fills with black birds frthwith. It is just like a black snwstrm,” Alex Thrntn, an eclgist at the University f Exeter, UK, tld New Scientist. Every call is a jackdaw casting its vte t leave. “At first yu just get a few calls, then mre and mre birds jin in and it builds and builds. And the steeper the increase, the earlier they leave,” Thrntn added. On rare ccasins, when the intensity f the chrus desn’t build enugh and the jackdaws dn 't agree, the birds instead launch ff in small numbers.
The team als fund that nce jackdaws reached a cnsensus they departed almst immediately, with hundreds f individuals flying in less than five secnds. When scientist splayed past recrdings f calls back t the jackdaws, getting in the way f the grup's natural crescend(渐强的声音), they were able t push frward the birds’ launching by mre than six minutes. The birds did nt, hwever, change their launch times in respnse t ther nises.
“The gregarius(群居的) birds prefer t leave as a grup, althugh each jackdaw will have a slightly different preference as t when they want t leave, based n factrs like their size and hunger,” Alex Dibnah, a University f Exeter graduate student and lead authr f the study, said in a statement. “Leaving the rst(栖息处) tgether has varius benefits, including safety frm predatrs and access t infrmatin such as where t find fd.”
This research shws the critical rle vcalizatins(发声) play in grup decisin-making fr this species. One next step fr this research, accrding t the authrs, is t figure ut hw human-created nises might affect this prcess and the spread f infrmatin thrughut these cmmunities.
“Imagine a big rst near a twn r busy rad,” Thrntn said. “If the birds can’t hear each ther and can’t frm a cnsensus t leave tgether, it culd have big impacts n their ppulatin.”
What is the purpse f the research in Crnwall?
A. T understand hw jackdaws reach an agreement.
B. T study what makes jackdaws’ departure time unique.
C. T make a cmparisn f jackdaws' calls with ther birds’.
D. T assess the imprtance f jackdaws' cmplicated behavirs.
33. What des the underlined “frthwith” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Frequently. B. Gradually.C. Traditinally.D. Immediately.
34. What can be inferred abut the jackdaw grup frm Paragraph 4?
A. It can reach an agreement within secnds.
B. Its launch times vary little frm seasn t seasn.
C. It can distinguish its natural calls frm ther nises.
D. It makes n respnse t the past recrdings f calls.
35. What d the researchers plan t study next?
A. The impacts f human hunting n jackdaws’ ppulatin.
B. The effects f nises n jackdaws' grup decisin-making.
C. The way jackdaws spread infrmatin in their cmmunities.
D. The rle f jackdaws' vcalizatins in grup decisin-making.

In early Octber, Travis Gienger transprted an enrmus pumpkin(南瓜) frm his hme in Minnesta t the Wrld Champinship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in Califrnia. His pumpkin set the recrd fr the biggest ne ever grwn in Nrth America. Hw d cmpetitive grwers get their pumpkins t grw t massive sizes? 36
Gienger, wh teaches hrticulture(园艺学) at Anka Technical Cllege, begins grwing his pumpkins in mid-April, starting with seeds that he grws indrs fr the first few weeks, when Minnesta’s sil is t frsty. 37 They can absrb sunlight, nutrients frm the sil, and water there. “At their peak, yu 're watering them with at least 600 liters a day,” he says.
Depending n the variety, pumpkin plants can grw up t a dzen fruits n a single vine(藤曼). But t maximize size, grwers remve all but ne r tw f these pumpkins in rder t decrease each individual fruit's cmpetitin fr resurces._ 38
But what exactly happens inside a pumpkin as it grws? Tw factrs drive natural grwth: cell divisin and cell expansin. Cell divisin accunts fr mst f the grwth at the beginning f a fruit's life. This perid lasts fr abut 20 days in pumpkin plants. 39 Pumpkin cells will expand until arund 50 r 60 days after pllinatin (授粉).
40 Sme varieties f pumpkins have been bred specifically t maximize their size. Still, there is genetic variatin even amng pumpkins f the same variety. This has led t cmpetitin fr the best seeds. Fllwing each harvest, many grwers auctin ff(拍卖掉) the seeds frm their biggest pumpkins, which will then be used fr the fllwing year’s plantings.
A. Bilgy has the answers.
B. Genetics als influences pumpkin grwth.
C. The fllwing tips will give yu a head start.
D. Once it warms up, the plants are transferred utside.
E. When it stps, cell expansin will then cme int play.
F. Grwers extend the grwth perid fr as lng as pssible.
G. Grwers als remve the weeds in the area fr the same reasn.

It had been a challenging week, marked by a sudden large increase in il prices cinciding with a sharp drp in temperatures in Bstn. It was nearly belw zer degree. With three missed wrkdays under my belt, my upcming paycheck was ging t be lwer than nrmal. The stress weighed heavily n me as I carefully sught fr every cnceivable pprtunity t save pennies, ensuring that I culd affrd bth grceries and keep the huse warm.
My eight-year-ld sn didn’t understand when I tld him we were struggling that week. He had his heart set n a particular brand f ygurt, but I didn’t have the extra three dllars t buy it fr him. It was the kind f ygurt decrated with a cartn child skatebarding n its packaging, cntaining a mere tw spnfuls per cup. Such prducts, designed t lure children with their flashy marketing, nly served t make me hate advertising.
Hwever, a bunch f parental guilt gripped me as his inncent eyes met mine, silently questining, “Why is ygurt such a big deal?” Determined t sweep his disappintment, I made a sacrifice typical f single mthers. I returned an item needed t the shelf, ensuring that he culd enjy his favrite ygurt.
On the jurney back frm the grcery stre, a sight caught my attentin—a hmeless man, hlding a sign by the radside. My heart ached, and I turned arund, bserving passers-by purpsefully steer(绕开) clear f him, aviding any meaningful interactin. Even my sn didn’t seem t care much. either. Yet, upn clser inspectin, I nticed the man—bare hands grasping a piece f cardbard, snt frzen t his face, a wrn-ut jacket. And there I was struggling because I had t buy il and grceries.
