A year ag, I decided t create a mre envirnmentally friendly kitchen, fcusing n reducing
the single-use prducts such as plastic bags and paper twels. I’m nt ging t sugarcat my
experience. It takes cmmitment and willingness t change lng-held habits. In creating my
kitchen, I tried a lt f different alternative prducts and sme ld cmmn sense and the result,
has been wrth the effrt. I’m recycling mre and relying less n single-use prducts and I’m
saving mney, t.
I’m nt kidding when I say that I used t really lve plastic strage bags, s this was, perhaps,
the biggest challenge fr me. Switching t reusable strage bags is a financial investment, but the
cst is reasnable cnsidering that I previusly spent at least $100 annually n single-use plastic
bags and wrap. I will check nline regularly fr recycling updates, where a zer-waste bx fr
kitchen items is ffered, frm party supplies t mixed-material fd cntainers.
I’m a clean freak (狂热爱好者) and used t g thrugh an amunt f paper twels n a daily
basis, but it’s easy enugh t cut up sme ld T-shirts r twels t wipe dwn surfaces. I’m als a
fan f bamb paper twels, which have the lk and feel f traditinal paper twels. They are
made frm a highly renewable surce and als break dwn in just 45 days. Better yet, they can be
reused up t 100 times. As fr kitchen spnges (海绵擦 ), I keep an eye ut fr thse made with
natural and recyclable materials.
When purchasing husehld items nline frm cmpanies like Amazn r Jet, I will ask t
have them shipped in as few bxes as pssible r as small a bx as pssible if a single item is t be
sent. I’ll let the cmpany knw that they shuld pay mre attentin t hw t package items fr
delivery.

Bees aren’t the nly insects pllinating (给……授粉 ) red clver. Mths (飞蛾) d abut a
third f the flwer visits after dark, new research suggests. The discvery stresses what
researchers may be missing in researching int the night shift f plant pllinatin, including a
previusly unknwn benefit f the mth pllinatin t the clver—a bst in seed prductin.
This wrk may help deepen scientists’ understanding f the pllinatin services prvided by
nighttime mths. Fr abut a century, the general understanding f clver pllinatin has been that
bees —and bees alne—are the key insect players. “Clver is a valuable agricultural plant and has
received a lt f studies,” says Jamie Alisn, a pllinatr eclgist at Aarhus University in
Denmark. “Yet, nne f thse studies have said anything abut the pssibility f mth
pllinatin.”
Álisn and his clleagues discvered mths’ pllinatin rle while studying hw plants and
their insect pllinatrs wuld respnd t climate change by mving uphill. T recrd the exact
pllinatrs that wuld g t grassland plants, the team set up 15 time-lapse (延时) cameras in the
Swiss Alps. The methd allwed Alisn and his clleagues t investigate nighttime visitrs. In all,
the team cllected mre than 164,000 phts f red clver flwers, with 44 f these images
capturing visits by insect pllinatrs.
Mst f these flwer hney seekers—sme 61%—were bumblebees. But a substantial
prprtin (比例 )―34%―were mths, mstly large yellw underwings, visiting in the early
mrning hurs. Butterflies and either a wasp r anther bee species finished the ther 5 percent f
the visits.
“Mths are well-knwn as regular pllinatrs f many ther plants, but their rle in clver
pllinatin seems t have been verlked.” Alisn says. He and his clleagues als investigated
hw many seeds the clver flwers prduced, and they had a happy surprise.
“It’s clear that the rle f nighttime mths as pllinatrs f crps has largely been ignred,”
Funamt, a pllinatin bilgist at the University f Tky, says. “I think future studies will
reveal many plant species that are thught t be dependent n pllinatin by daytime insects are
actually pllinated by nighttime mths, t sme extent.”
28. What was deeply rted in scientists’ mind abut clver pllinatin?
A. It psed risks t ther plants.
B. It merely depended n bees.
C. It ruined the prductin f clver seeds.
D. It failed t be carried ut at night.

29. Why did the researchers use the 15 time-lapse cameras?
A. T recrd pllinatrs visiting grassland plants.
B. T study the effect f climate change n insect pllinatrs.
C. T recrd the changeable cnditins in the Swiss Alps.
D. T capture mre images f different insects.
30. What did the researchers think f their research result?
A. They felt astnished at that.
B. They thught it was disappinting.
C. They believed it needed further cnfirmatin.
D. They thught it was influenced by many factrs.
31. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Mths Draw the Attentin f Researchers
B. Scientists Are Lking fr Night Pllinatrs
C. Scientists Find a Way t Help Clver Flwers
D. Mths Are Fund t Pllinate Clver Flwers at Night

Music is a part f every culture arund the wrld. In fact, the ability t appreciate music is
built int ur brains. Music makes us feel gd. Many music studies lk at the lng-term benefits
f being a music listener r participating in a music prgram as a child. But can listening t music
help us cnnect and empathize (产生共鸣) with smene right at the mment? A new study aims
t find it ut.
In this study, 60 university students were asked t watch several 15-secnd vides in which a
persn describes an autbigraphical (自传体的 ) experience. In sme cases, peple in the vide
talk abut a relatively rdinary event, like mving int a new apartment, while ther stries
cntain strng emtinal cntent, like recalling a terrible accident r a lved ne’s death.
While students watched these vides, the researchers randmly played either “emtinally
neutral (中立的)” music r very sad music in the backgrund. After watching each vide, the
students expressed hw much sympathy they had fr the persn in the vide, and hw much they
wanted t help that persn. They were als tested n their scial reasning skills—hw well
they understd the persn’s thinking methd in the vide. All f these culd be signs f empathic
cnnectin (同感沟通).
Results shwed that peple watching the sad vides felt mre sadness themselves and mre
sympathy fr the ther persn than thse watching the neutral vides—nt a big surprise. But
these empathic feelings were strengthened by listening t sad music. The music had n effect,
hwever, n whether r nt the students culd reasn ut the ther persn’s experience and
understand what they might be thinking r feeling.
While music is nt the nly way — ther art frms, like fictin and dancing, have als been
shwn t increase empathy, fr example—music culd be a pwerful tl. “It’d be very
interesting t extend ur finding further, t see if listening t music in a scial cntext can
imprve ur real-wrld ability t empathize with and feel sympathy fr thers in the lng term,”
says the lead researcher Brennan McDnald.
32. What des the new study want t find ut?
A. Whether music can benefit us.
B. Whether music can aruse genuine emtins.
C. Whether music can imprve the scial effect.
D. Whether music prgrams can increase ur cnfidence.

A. T film a shrt autbigraphical vide.
B. T share ne f their miserable experiences.
C. T think up ways t help the persn in need.
D. T watch vides while listening t different backgrund music.
34. Which f the fllwing belngs t the pinin f the researchers?
A. We can increase ur sympathy by using sme music.
B. Music helps us understand thers’ thinking prcesses.
C. Mst adults are much mre emtinal than children.
D. Music can influence us bth emtinally and intellectually.

C. Find mre ways t make peple mre caring.
D. Cmpare the effect f music with that f ther art frms.
