On Feb. 23, an envirnmental advcacy grup “Grassrts” led by students hsted its mnthly clthing exchange. The clthing exchange is a free activity n campus where students can dnate clthes in exchange fr new nes.
“One f the key things abut sustainability (可持续性) is t reuse,” Crystal Tynn, C-president and Clthing Exchange Chair, said. “Instead f thrwing away ld clthes and buying new clthes, yu can dnate them and give them a new purpse. Yu might be dne with thse clthing items, but smene else might nt be.”
Accrding t Tynn, “Grassrts” is hping t expand the activities t ther schls. In rder t d s, the team is brainstrming new ways t get the wrd ut abut dnatins, hurs and events. Nw, the clthing exchange is ne f the club’s mst well-knwn activities. “Thrughut the semester when peple realize we have these exchanges, they genuinely bring clthes and participate a lt mre. S it des make a difference t clthing sustainability and it des create a cmmunity where everyne can share their clthes,” she added.
As “Grassrts” is an initiative dedicated t sustainability, paper advertisement is nt an ptin. Instead, the center relies mstly n wrd-f-muth and e-mail annuncements. It is bringing speakers t campus t talk abut sustainability and envirnmental advcacy. It als has partnerships with lcal rganizatins such as “the Sunrise Rchester”, wrking tgether t have vlunteers becme mre invlved in lcal sustainability.
Chle Mendza has been a vlunteer since her freshman year. Nt nly des Mendza appreciate the intended missin f prmting sustainability, but she als thinks the center has transfrmed int a safe and accepting cmmunity space fr all students. Thse wh have cme in lking fr smething practical ften end up leaving with an armful f clthing and a heart full f warmth.
“My favrite part abut wrking there is that we get t help peple find things that they need fr free. Just prviding a place fr students t g where there isn’t pressure t spend mney is really imprtant. A lt f students lve saving, s it’s smething that students can relate and engage with easily, s I think it’s a really easy way t get students mre invlved in sustainability,” says Mendza.
4. Which f the fllwing best describes Tynn’s feelings abut their clthing exchange?
A. Impressive.B. Innvative.
C. Demanding.D. Rewarding.
5. What can we learn abut “Grassrts”?

One f the mst curius features f the mdern wrld is the manner in which design has been widely transfrmed int smething meaningless. But I want t argue design shuld be the crucial blck n which the human envirnment is shaped and cnstructed fr the betterment and delight f all.
Nt surprisingly, in the absence f widespread agreement abut its significance and value, much cnfusin surrunds design practice. In sme subject areas, authrs can assume cmmn grund with readers. Other subject areas can be s difficult that h such mutual understanding exists.
Design sits uncmfrtably between these tw extremes. As a wrd it is cmmn enugh, but it is full f disharmny, has innumerable manifestatins (表现), and lacks bundaries that give clarity and definitin. As a practice, design generates vast quantities f material, much f it ephemeral, nly a small prprtin f which has sustained quality.
S hw can design be understd in a meaningful sense? Design is ne f the basic characteristics f what it is t be human, and an essential determinant f the quality f human life. If things are a necessary part f ur existence, why are they ften dne s badly? There is n simple answer. Cst factrs are smetimes advanced, but the remve between ding smething well r badly can be exceedingly small, and cst factrs can in fact be reduced by apprpriate design inputs.
This bk is based n a belief that design matters prfundly t us all in innumerable ways and represents an area f huge, underutilized ptential in life. It sets ut t explre sme reasns why this is s and t suggest sme pssibilities f change. The intentin is t extend the range f what is understd by the term, and examine the depth f design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity f cultures.
8. What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. The causes f cnfusin.B. The significance f design.
C. The differences in subjects.D. The cmmn grund in peple.
9. What des the underlined wrd “ephemeral” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A Meaningful.B. Enrmus.C. Shrt-lived.D. Hard-wearing.
10. What d we knw abut design?
A. Design is just abut arts r trends.
B. Cst factrs accunt fr inadequate design.
C. The authr argues that design is meaningless .
D. Very few are incapable f imprvement by prper design.
11. What is the bk aimed at?
A. Reducing design inputs.B. Persisting in meaningful design practices.
C. Denying previus cnceptin f design.D. Clarifying the cnfusin surrunding design.

If yu are a psychlgy enthusiast, yu have prbably heard f the famus marshmallw (棉花糖) test. In this task, kids are given a single treat, such as a marsbmallw, and are tld that they can eat that marshmallw nw, r they can wait a little while, and have tw marshmallws instead. Sme kids eat the marshmallw immediately, but mst try their best t wait fr the experimenter t cme back with tw marshmallws.
Wait times in the marshmallw test came t be seen as indicatrs f self-cntrl. But what if the behavir in the marshmallw test has mre t d with cultural criteria than self-cntrl? A 2022 study by Yanaka tested the idea that children may decide hw lng t wait fr rewards based n what they are accustmed t waiting fr in their culture. In the United States (with sme exceptins), there is n widespread custm f waiting until everyne is served t eat yur fd. Hwever, in Japan, there is a mealtime custm f waiting until everyne has been served befre anyne digs in.
Because f this difference in nrms, the researchers assumed that Japanese children wuld wait lnger in the marshmallw test than the American children. This is exactly what they fund. The researchers did a clever fllw-up experiment. They fund ne field where children in the U.S. are accustmed t waiting lnger than Japanese children are: Opening presents. In the U.S., gifts are usually given n special ccasins, such as birthdays and Christmas. On these ccasins, children usually have t wait befre they can pen their presents. In Japan, hwever, gift-giving happens mre ften, and children usually pen presents immediately.
Given these cultural differences, Yanaka expected that if they ran the marshmallw test with Japanese and American kids, but they replaced marshmallws with packaged gifts, then American kids wuld wait lnger t pen them. Once again, their assumptin was crrect. When the ptential rewards were packaged gifts instead f fd, American children waited 15 minutes n average, and Japanese children waited abut fur minutes n average.
This is a pwerful result because it demnstrates the imprtance f culture and habit in shaping behavir. If a child waits nly fur minutes befre giving up n tw marshmallws but then waits almst fur times lnger t pen a gift, can we really say that that child lacks self-cntrl? I dn’t think s.
12. What is the main factr that influences children’s behavir in the experiments?
A. Self-cntrl.B. Parental influence.
C. Cultural criteria.D. Reward preferences.
13. What did the study find abut American children?
A. They ften receive gifts.B. They display higher self-cntrl.
C They prefer gifts t fd rewards.D. Thy tend t wait lnger t pen gifts.
14. Hw did Yanaka cnduct the fllw-up experiment?
A. By referring t data.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By intrducing a cncept.D. By presenting an argument.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards Yanaka’s study?
A. Critical.B. Unclear.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.

On Feb. 23, an envirnmental advcacy grup “Grassrts” led by students hsted its mnthly clthing exchange. The clthing exchange is a free activity n campus where students can dnate clthes in exchange fr new nes.
“One f the key things abut sustainability (可持续性) is t reuse,” Crystal Tynn, C-president and Clthing Exchange Chair, said. “Instead f thrwing away ld clthes and buying new clthes, yu can dnate them and give them a new purpse. Yu might be dne with thse clthing items, but smene else might nt be.”
Accrding t Tynn, “Grassrts” is hping t expand the activities t ther schls. In rder t d s, the team is brainstrming new ways t get the wrd ut abut dnatins, hurs and events.

S it des make a difference t clthing sustainability and it des create a cmmunity where everyne can share their clthes,” she added.

Thse wh have cme in lking fr smething practical ften end up leaving with an armful f clthing and a heart full f warmth.
“My favrite part abut wrking there is that we get t help peple find things that they need fr free. Just prviding a place fr students t g where there isn’t pressure t spend mney is really imprtant. A lt f students lve saving, s it’s smething that students can relate and engage with easily, s I think it’s a really easy way t get students mre invlved in sustainability,” says Mendza.

One f the mst curius features f the mdern wrld is the manner in which design has been widely transfrmed int smething meaningless. But I want t argue design shuld be the crucial blck n which the human envirnment is shaped and cnstructed fr the betterment and delight f all.
Nt surprisingly, in the absence f widespread agreement abut its significance and value, much cnfusin surrunds design practice. In sme subject areas, authrs can assume cmmn grund with readers. Other subject areas can be s difficult that h such mutual understanding exists.
Design sits uncmfrtably between these tw extremes. As a wrd it is cmmn enugh, but it is full f disharmny, has innumerable manifestatins (表现), and lacks bundaries that give clarity and definitin. As a practice, design generates vast quantities f material, much f it ephemeral, nly a small prprtin f which has sustained quality.
S hw can design be understd in a meaningful sense? Design is ne f the basic characteristics f what it is t be human, and an essential determinant f the quality f human life. If things are a necessary part f ur existence, why are they ften dne s badly? There is n simple answer. Cst factrs are smetimes advanced, but the remve between ding smething well r badly can be exceedingly small, and cst factrs can in fact be reduced by apprpriate design inputs.
This bk is based n a belief that design matters prfundly t us all in innumerable ways and represents an area f huge, underutilized ptential in life. It sets ut t explre sme reasns why this is s and t suggest sme pssibilities f change. The intentin is t extend the range f what is understd by the term, and examine the depth f design practice as it affects everyday life in a diversity f cultures.
8. What is paragraph 2 f the text mainly abut?
A. The causes f cnfusin.B. The significance f design.
C. The differences in subjects.D. The cmmn grund in peple.
9. What des the underlined wrd “ephemeral” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A Meaningful.B. Enrmus.C. Shrt-lived.D. Hard-wearing.
10. What d we knw abut design?
A. Design is just abut arts r trends.
B. Cst factrs accunt fr inadequate design.
C. The authr argues that design is meaningless .
D. Very few are incapable f imprvement by prper design.
11. What is the bk aimed at?
A. Reducing design inputs.B. Persisting in meaningful design practices.
C. Denying previus cnceptin f design.D. Clarifying the cnfusin surrunding design.

If yu are a psychlgy enthusiast, yu have prbably heard f the famus marshmallw (棉花糖) test. In this task, kids are given a single treat, such as a marsbmallw, and are tld that they can eat that marshmallw nw, r they can wait a little while, and have tw marshmallws instead. Sme kids eat the marshmallw immediately, but mst try their best t wait fr the experimenter t cme back with tw marshmallws.
Wait times in the marshmallw test came t be seen as indicatrs f self-cntrl. But what if the behavir in the marshmallw test has mre t d with cultural criteria than self-cntrl? A 2022 study by Yanaka tested the idea that children may decide hw lng t wait fr rewards based n what they are accustmed t waiting fr in their culture. In the United States (with sme exceptins), there is n widespread custm f waiting until everyne is served t eat yur fd. Hwever, in Japan, there is a mealtime custm f waiting until everyne has been served befre anyne digs in.
Because f this difference in nrms, the researchers assumed that Japanese children wuld wait lnger in the marshmallw test than the American children. This is exactly what they fund. The researchers did a clever fllw-up experiment. They fund ne field where children in the U.S. are accustmed t waiting lnger than Japanese children are: Opening presents. In the U.S., gifts are usually given n special ccasins, such as birthdays and Christmas. On these ccasins, children usually have t wait befre they can pen their presents. In Japan, hwever, gift-giving happens mre ften, and children usually pen presents immediately.
Given these cultural differences, Yanaka expected that if they ran the marshmallw test with Japanese and American kids, but they replaced marshmallws with packaged gifts, then American kids wuld wait lnger t pen them. Once again, their assumptin was crrect. When the ptential rewards were packaged gifts instead f fd, American children waited 15 minutes n average, and Japanese children waited abut fur minutes n average.
This is a pwerful result because it demnstrates the imprtance f culture and habit in shaping behavir. If a child waits nly fur minutes befre giving up n tw marshmallws but then waits almst fur times lnger t pen a gift, can we really say that that child lacks self-cntrl? I dn’t think s.
12. What is the main factr that influences children’s behavir in the experiments?
A. Self-cntrl.B. Parental influence.
C. Cultural criteria.D. Reward preferences.
13. What did the study find abut American children?
A. They ften receive gifts.B. They display higher self-cntrl.
C They prefer gifts t fd rewards.D. Thy tend t wait lnger t pen gifts.
14. Hw did Yanaka cnduct the fllw-up experiment?
A. By referring t data.B. By making a cmparisn.
C. By intrducing a cncept.D. By presenting an argument.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards Yanaka’s study?
A. Critical.B. Unclear.C. Dubtful.D. Apprving.
