“The ppsite f play isn’t wrk; it’s depressin,” says play researcher Stuart Brwn. “The adult-play shrtage is becming a public health crisis.” Play may appear insignificant, but recent studies indicate it may be as essential as the need fr sleep. Playfulness helps sme yung animals learn t master their bdies and their envirnments — and nce they d, mst stp playing as adults.
“Adult play prmtes qualities that we humans culd use mre f,” says Jeff Harry, a play cnsultant. Unfrtunately, scial standards restrain (抑制) ur urge t let lse. “Being a playful adult is really disapprved in ur sciety,” he says. “Yu dn’t want peple t think that yu’re childish.”
“It hasn’t always been this way,” says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Bstn University. When Gray reviewed descriptins f the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he nticed that they were ften described as “gd-humred” and “jyful”. “What we wuld call wrk — hunting and gathering — was fun,” he says. “Generally speaking, we like t d the things that are necessary fr ur survival. Humans tk ne giant step away frm fun when we started planting crps. Then we invented factries and lst sight f play entirely,” Gray adds.
We may be able t reverse this situatin, says Harry. As we fully make the transitin t a knwledge-based ecnmy, wrk and play are beginning t merge (合并) again. Sme f tday’s mst successful cmpanies, such as Ggle and Apple, were started by peple tinkering (小修补) in their garages.
“Play is all abut lking at a tugh wrld with creativity and ptimism,” Brwn says. He ges s far as t declare that “adult play is necessary fr ur survival as a species”.
The next time I’m caught playing, I knw exactly what I’ll say, “I am nt wasting time, r acting immature. I’m playing fr the benefit f all humanity. Yu’re welcme.”
8．Why des Stuart Brwn cnsider adult play essential?
A．It prmtes creativity.B．It battles depressin.
C．It facilitates cperatin.D．It imprves adaptivity.
9．What scietal factr restrains adult play accrding t Jeff Harry?
A．Fear f judgment frm thers.B．Lack f sufficient time fr leisure.
C．Cultural emphasis n persnal values.D．Pressure frm wrk-related respnsibilities
10．Which statement will Peter Gray agree with accrding t Paragraph 3?
A．Adult play cntributes psitively t wrk.
B．Scial attitudes tward play regularly shift.
C．Humans initially fund jy in survival activities.
D．Industrializatin clsely cnnected wrk and play.
11．What is the purpse f the text?
A．T stress the significance f adult play.B．T discuss the evlutin f wrk and play.
C．T advcate playfulness in mdern businesses.D．T explre the impact f adult play n depressin.

High in the Swiss Alps and the Arctic, scientists have discvered micrbes (微生物) that can digest plastics — imprtantly, withut the need t apply extra heat. Their findings, published in the jurnal Frntiers in Micrbilgy, culd ne day imprve plastic recycling.
It’s n secret that plastic pllutin is still a big, glbal issue. Since its prductin explded during and after Wrld War II, humans have created mre than 9.1 billin tns f plastic — and researchers estimate that less than ne tenth f the resulting waste has been recycled. T make matters wrse, the mst cmmn recycling ptin — when plastic is washed, prcessed and turned int new prducts — desn’t actually reduce waste: The recycled materials are ften f lwer quality and might later end up in a landfill all the same.
S, researchers are lking fr slutins t the plastics prblem that g beynd cnventinal recycling — and ne prcess they’ve experimented with is breaking dwn plastics using micrbes. But the knwn plastic-digesting micrbes can nly d s at warm temperatures abve 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When dne at an industrial scale, the amunt f energy needed t generate that much heat makes the prcess give ff mre carbn —and cst mre mney.
But the micrbes fund in the Arctic and Swiss Alps can functin at cler temperatures: They were able t break dwn bidegradable (可生物降解的) plastics at 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In the new study, c-authr Jel Rüthi and his clleagues discvered that f the ttal 34 types f micrbes examined,19 were successfully able t break dwn a frm f plastic called plyester-plyurethane, and 17 culd break dwn tw types f bidegradable plastic mixtures.
Unfrtunately, the plastics that the micrbes partially degraded represent a “really small amunt f plastics in circulatin,” said Gavin Lear, an envirnmental micrbilgist, wh was nt invlved in the study. Lear acknwledged that using natural micrbes can prvide a head start when it cmes t designing a strategy fr bi-recycling. If we mve away frm the cnventinal nn-bidegradable materials, “and we start t use mre f these bidegradable plastics, then it’s gd that we knw hw t degrade them mre quickly s they’re less f an envirnmental prblem,” he cncluded.
12．What d we knw abut the cnventinal recycling?
A．It des nt live up t expectatins.B．It cntributes t mre waste.
C．It is nt as ppular as befre.D．It ensures new prduct quality.
13．Which best describes the methd f using the micrbes in the previus studies?
A．Impractical.B．PineeringC．Reliable.D．Invaluable.
14．Why is the new study mentined in paragraph 4?
A．T prve the micrbes have an bvius taste preference.
B．T shw the finding pens drs t a mre efficient system.
C．T clarify hw the prcess f breaking dwn plastics wrks.
D．T explain why bi-recycling is better than cnventinal recycling.
15．What d the underlined wrds “head start” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Reward.B．Criterin.C．Prtectin.D．Advantage.

“Adult play prmtes qualities that we humans culd use mre f,” says Jeff Harry, a play cnsultant. Unfrtunately, scial standards restrain (抑制) ur urge t let lse. “Being a playful adult is really disapprved in ur sciety,” he says. “Yu dn’t want peple t think that yu’re childish.”
“It hasn’t always been this way,” says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Bstn University. When Gray reviewed descriptins f the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he nticed that they were ften described as “gd-humred” and “jyful”. “What we wuld call wrk — hunting and gathering — was fun,” he says. “Generally speaking, we like t d the things that are necessary fr ur survival. Humans tk ne giant step away frm fun when we started planting crps. Then we invented factries and lst sight f play entirely,” Gray adds.
We may be able t reverse this situatin, says Harry. As we fully make the transitin t a knwledge-based ecnmy, wrk and play are beginning t merge (合并) again. Sme f tday’s mst successful cmpanies, such as Ggle and Apple, were started by peple tinkering (小修补) in their garages.
“Play is all abut lking at a tugh wrld with creativity and ptimism,” Brwn says. He ges s far as t declare that “adult play is necessary fr ur survival as a species”.
The next time I’m caught playing, I knw exactly what I’ll say, “I am nt wasting time, r acting immature. I’m playing fr the benefit f all humanity. Yu’re welcme.”

High in the Swiss Alps and the Arctic, scientists have discvered micrbes (微生物) that can digest plastics — imprtantly, withut the need t apply extra heat. Their findings, published in the jurnal Frntiers in Micrbilgy, culd ne day imprve plastic recycling.
It’s n secret that plastic pllutin is still a big, glbal issue. Since its prductin explded during and after Wrld War II, humans have created mre than 9.1 billin tns f plastic — and researchers estimate that less than ne tenth f the resulting waste has been recycled. T make matters wrse, the mst cmmn recycling ptin — when plastic is washed, prcessed and turned int new prducts — desn’t actually reduce waste: The recycled materials are ften f lwer quality and might later end up in a landfill all the same.
S, researchers are lking fr slutins t the plastics prblem that g beynd cnventinal recycling — and ne prcess they’ve experimented with is breaking dwn plastics using micrbes. But the knwn plastic-digesting micrbes can nly d s at warm temperatures abve 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When dne at an industrial scale, the amunt f energy needed t generate that much heat makes the prcess give ff mre carbn —and cst mre mney.
But the micrbes fund in the Arctic and Swiss Alps can functin at cler temperatures: They were able t break dwn bidegradable (可生物降解的) plastics at 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In the new study, c-authr Jel Rüthi and his clleagues discvered that f the ttal 34 types f micrbes examined,19 were successfully able t break dwn a frm f plastic called plyester-plyurethane, and 17 culd break dwn tw types f bidegradable plastic mixtures.
Unfrtunately, the plastics that the micrbes partially degraded represent a “really small amunt f plastics in circulatin,” said Gavin Lear, an envirnmental micrbilgist, wh was nt invlved in the study. Lear acknwledged that using natural micrbes can prvide a head start when it cmes t designing a strategy fr bi-recycling. If we mve away frm the cnventinal nn-bidegradable materials, “and we start t use mre f these bidegradable plastics, then it’s gd that we knw hw t degrade them mre quickly s they’re less f an envirnmental prblem,” he cncluded.
12．What d we knw abut the cnventinal recycling?
A．It des nt live up t expectatins.B．It cntributes t mre waste.
C．It is nt as ppular as befre.D．It ensures new prduct quality.
13．Which best describes the methd f using the micrbes in the previus studies?
A．Impractical.B．PineeringC．Reliable.D．Invaluable.
14．Why is the new study mentined in paragraph 4?
A．T prve the micrbes have an bvius taste preference.
B．T shw the finding pens drs t a mre efficient system.
C．T clarify hw the prcess f breaking dwn plastics wrks.
D．T explain why bi-recycling is better than cnventinal recycling.
15．What d the underlined wrds “head start” in paragraph 5 mean?
A．Reward.B．Criterin.C．Prtectin.D．Advantage.

I’m Li Hua and have just cmpleted my tw-week academic exchange prgramme in the UK recently. This unique experience granted me a frnt-rw seat t bth diverse learning envirnments and lcal life. Academically, I engaged with challenging cursewrk and dynamic seminars, learning nt just frm textbks but frm lively debates with peers. Living alngside lcal students, I navigated the intricacies f daily life abrad, adapting t new nrms and custms.
The greatest challenge? Overcming the initial language barrier and adjusting t cultural differences! Hwever, these bstacles became steppingstnes t my grwth. This adventure has taught me that embracing challenges is essential fr fstering intercultural understanding and persnal grwth.

The ld man begged them nt t frighten his hrse. Hwever, they replied, “Turn ut, then!” and cntinued t hit his wagn with their whips and thrw at him with snwballs. “The terrr f the ld man and his hrse was increased, and the latter ran away with him, t the great danger f his life,” the teacher cntinued. Eventually, the ld man managed t calm his hrse and bring it back under cntrl, but nt befre sustaining significant damage t his wagn and sleigh. “That ld man is yur teacher’s father.” The teacher cncluded his stry.
The bys listened quietly, reflecting n their actins. They came t realize hw rude and unkind their cnduct appeared frm anther pint f view.
