2.Eradajere Oleita, a 26-year-ld student and envirnmental advcate frm Detrit, has designed an innvative (创新的) slutin t settle tw urgent
prblems in her cmmunity: waste and pverty. Knwn as the Chip Bag Prject, Oleita encurages lcal snack enthusiasts t dnate their empty chip
bags instead f thrwing them away. These dnated bags are then transfrmed int sleeping bags fr the hmeless.
Chip cnsumers can drp ff their empty bags frm ppular brands like Drits and Lays at specific lcatins in Detrit, including a print shp and a
clthing stre. Here, Oleita and her team f vlunteers cllect the bags, clean them thrughly with sapy ht water, and carefully press them tgether.
They reuse stuffing and liners frm ld cats t line the insides f the sleeping bags.
Creating each sleeping bag is a labr-intensive prcess, taking apprximately fur hurs f sewing and requiring anywhere frm 150 t 300 chip
bags, depending n their size. The resulting sleeping bags are said t be resistant t water, light in weight, and cnvenient t transprt.
Since its beginning in 2020, the Chip Bag Prject has successfully cllected ver 800,000 chip bags and has prduced 110 sleeping bags as f last
December. While it may seem simpler t raise funds t purchase new sleeping bags, Oleita and her dedicated vlunteers are driven by a shared missin
— t make a scial impact while als dealing with envirnmental cncerns.

Furthermre, the prject carries symblic significance by rescuing chip bags that wuld therwise end up in landfills and reusing them t aid the
hmeless. This initiative underscres the intercnnectedness f envirnmental issues and pverty, serving as a pwerful reminder f the need t deal
with these challenges cllectively. As Oleita states, “I think it’s time t shw cnnectins between all f these issues.”
【小题1】What inspired Oleita t start the Chip Bag Prject?
A．Her interest in sewing and crafting.

【小题2】Hw are the chip bags cllected fr the prject?
A．By purchasing them frm cmmunity stres.
B．By rganizing cleanup events in the cmmunity.
C．By encuraging lcal businesses t dnate them.
D．By urging lcal residents t dnate their empty bags.
【小题3】What are the three main characteristics f the resulting sleeping bags?
A．Expensive, clrful, and stylish.
B．Durable, heavy, and difficult t carry.
C．Expensive, luxurius, and fashinable.
D．Waterprf, lightweight, and easy t carry.
【小题4】Which wrds best describe Oleita?
A．Selfless and energetic.
B．Devted and innvative.

3.In recent studies, dctrs are emplying feature films t mtivate their patients t pen up abut their issues. Supprters f “film therapy (疗法)”
say that discussing characters and pltlines frm a prper film can help peple t understand their feelings better.
One f thse using the methd is Dr. Zhang, a dctr frm Shanghai, wh charges ¥250 fr a ne-hur “film therapy” sessin. He said, “I was
treating a wman wh had been badly heartbrken in a relatinship, and wh was experiencing such strng feelings that it was difficult fr her t speak
abut them. I tld her that her situatin reminded me f On the Waterfrnt, where the her realizes his brther is dishnest and he feels a great sense f
betrayal (背叛). My patient identified s easily with him that she started t cry. Watching and discussing the film unlcked all the feelings she had buried.
Each time she watched and cried, she felt better.”
Dr. Zhang admits that film therapy isn’t effective fr everyne, but he has successfully used it with arund a third f his patients. He believes that
thrugh the characters, plts, and even the music f films, peple can face their prblems. Fr instance, he mentined the mvie Falling Dwn, in which
Michael Duglas plays the part f an unemplyed man wh is s depressed that he uses vilence, was an example f the dangerus results f nt letting
anger g. “I used this film with a patient wh was very upset because he was hlding back a lt f the anger he felt twards peple wh had hurt him,”
said Dr. Zhang. “We talked abut Michael Duglas’s character and the vilent path he takes, and my patient then realized that he needed t let g f
his feelings mre regularly s as nt t burst ut like a time bmb.”

4.In the first glbal study f lake clr, researchers discvered that abut ne-third f the wrld’s lakes are blue. Hwever, if average summer
temperatures rise, sme clear waters culd turn green r brwn. This clr change may impact hw peple use the lakes and prvide insights int lake
ecsystems. Factrs like water depth and land use als affect lake clr. Green r brwn lakes tend t have mre algae(水藻) and rganic matter.
The scientists then lked at lcal climates during that time t see hw they may be linked t lake clr arund the wrld. Lakes in places with
average summer air temperatures that were belw 19℃ were mre likely t be blue than lakes with warmer summers, the researchers find. If average
summer temperatures increase anther 3℃—an amunt that scientists think is pssible by the end f the century—thse 3,800 lakes culd turn green r
brwn. That’s because warmer water helps algae prduce mre flwers, which changes the qualities f the water, giving it a green-brwn clr, Yang
says.
If sme lakes d becme less blue, peple will prbably lse sme f the resurces that have cme t value, says O’Reilly, a scientist at Suthern
Methdist University in Dallas. But the clr changes wuldn’t necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. “Humans dn’t value lts f algae
in a lake, but if yu’re a certain type f fish species, yu might feel like ‘this is great’,” O’Reilly says.
The clr f a lake can prvide valuable insights int the verall health f its ecsystem, serving as a baseline fr assessing the impact f climate
change n Earth’s freshwater resurces. By clsely mnitring changes in lake clr ver time, scientists can gain a better understanding f ptential
shifts in the envirnment. Cntinued bservatin and analysis f lake cnditins may als aid in predicting future changes and their influence fr
ecsystems and human ppulatins alike.
【小题1】What rle d water depth and land use play in lake clr?
A．They have n impact n lake clr.
B．They determine the size f the lake.
C．They are unrelated t the clr f the lake.
D．They influence the clr change f the lake.
【小题2】Why might warmer water cntribute t the green-brwn clr f lakes?
A．It reduces algae grwth.
B．It prmtes algae grwth.
C．It causes water t evaprate.
D．It has n effect n lake clr.
【小题3】Accrding t O’Reilly, hw might sme fish species react t changes in algae levels?
A．They may benefit frm increased algae.
B．They may migrate t ther deep lakes.
C．They may suffer health cnsequences.
D．They may becme endangered easily.
【小题4】What is the main idea f the last paragraph?
A．The influence f lake cnditins n human ppulatins.
B．The prcess f mnitring changes in lake clr ver time.
C．The significance f lake clr in assessing ecsystem health.
D．The impact f climate change n Earth’s freshwater resurces.

While practical cncerns like a busy schedule r pr health can make exercise mre challenging, fr mst f us, the biggest barriers are mental.
【小题2】 . If yu are less cnfident, yu’ll lack mtivatin t take psitive steps, r yur mtivatin quickly flames ut, r yu get easily
discuraged and give up. We’ve all been there at sme pint.
Whatever yur age r fitness level—even if yu’ve never exercised a day in yur life—there are steps yu can take t make exercise less frightening
and painful and mre fun.
Of curse, yu dn’t have t spend hurs in a gym r frce yurself int painful activities yu hate t experience the physical and emtinal

My stry began in ne autumn mrning, as I runded a bend n the path t schl. I was 13 years ld, and was n the way t schl. It was the first
time I had caught sight f a fx. Fascinated t the pint that I frgt all fear, I dared t g up t it. I had never cme s clse t a wild animal. There was
nbdy else arund, nly me and the fx.
“Hey, fx!” I tried t greet it, thugh my vice was s weak it felt like I was saying hell t myself. It didn’t hear me. It stayed there and I watched
it. My heart was beating fast. It was s cute. Fr a mment, I thught I might be able t tuch it.
Thrughut the day at schl, I culd nly think f the fx at the big tree. At my return t the place where we met, I was sure I’d find it there.
And I did. This time I gathered a little bit mre curage and called ut t it,“Fx!”Of curse it escaped. But that nly made me lng t meet it
again. I decided that if I culd find its cave (洞) and catch it, I wuld try t tame (驯服) it, making it my friend.
Thus, I spent mst f my free time in the frests trying t find the fx during the fllwing mnths. But I never saw it again befre winter came.
During the winter, I fllwed its ftprints far acrss the fields. Suddenly I was alarmed by the calling f wlves near me. I ran away frighteningly,
stumbled and hurt my ankle. It recvered very slwly, s that I had t stay at hme during the winter, reading a bk abut animals f the frest and
fxes.
When spring arrived, I was free again. I lked fr fx caves and waited fr my fx. T my amazement, it had gt yung nes but kept mving
because f my bservatins; therefre I decided t bserve the fx frm a lnger distance.
