Defrestati——by clear-cutting r wildfires——has massive cnsequences bth n climate and health. But leaving refrestatin t Mther Nature can take decades, particularly as disastrus wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity. And the time, cst and labr invlved makes traditinal methds f tree planting nt as practical as they nce were.
Bryce Jnes knws hw hard it is t replant frests. Fr fur mnths in 2013, he wrked as a tree planter thrughut Canada. "There's n technlgy there, he says. "The nly way yu can accmplish refrestatin is thrugh the air." But it wasn't until 2019 that he hit n the ne that he thught had ptential: use drnes (无人机) t fire specially designed seed pds(荚) int the grund- at 10 times the nrmal temperature and csting 20percent less than traditinal methds. He prpsed the idea t his brther and Flash Frcer was brn. His first gal was t plant a billin trees by 2025.
The team tk ut a lan, bught a drne and used 3D printers at Jnes's schl t make casts f the pds. Nw, nly tw and a half years later, the cmpany has a grup f drnes with each able t carry several thusand pds per flight. Three peratrs wrk in a field, cntrlling five drnes, whse flight take 15 t 20 minutes. Flash Frcer's big draw is its seed pd, which cntains everything seedlings(幼苗) need t survive survival. And its technlgy allws them t reach pst-burn sites r remte areas that are difficult fr traditinal tree planting.
There are challenges every day, Jnes says, as they wrk t imprve the engineering, hardware, sftware and seed-pd recipes. Then there are the challenges presented by the climate——this year, recrd temperatures, recrd wildfires and drught. "That was smething that was ttally ut f ur cntrl, he says.
Unlike sme traditinal frms f refrestatin, Flash Frcer is fcused n bidiversity. Fr Jnes, the target f planting a billin trees by 2025 is just the beginning. "I have a dream that the cmpany will plant n six cntinents——everywhere where ur technlgy is needed, he says.

D. The necessity f using new planting methds.

C. It might be available wrldwide ne day.

The human vice is a delicate thing. Each persn's distinctive vice is prduced when air frm the lungs causes the vcal crds(声带) t vibrate(震颤). These vcal crds can easily get damaged. Accrding t a 2005 study, 30% f the ppulatin will experience a vice disrder at sme pint in their life.
In a study published in the jurnal Nature Cmmunicatins this week, a grup f biengineering researchers frm the University f Califrnia have put frward an attractive slutin. They have designed and tested a sft patch(小片) that can be stuck nt a persn's neck, where it will pick up muscle mvements and, with the help f machine-learning algrithms(算法) that prcess the signals, translate them int speech.
When a persn lses their vice tday, the easiest fix is t turn t typing, texting, r writing ntes t cmmunicate. Typing can be slw and cnvenient, says Jun Chen, the paper's lead authr, and writing ntes is nly pssible in gd lighting. The new slutin wuld therefre be able t clear all these hurdles.
Dr. Chen's device wrks based n smething called the magnetelastic effect. Essentially, when tiny magnetic(磁性的) bits are placed int sft materials, their magnetic prperties can change as the material is stretched.
When the thrat muscles mve under the sft patch, the resulting magnetelastic effects can be changed int electrical signals. In a test with eight participants, the variatins can be changed by electrical signals.
Researchers recrded the signals as the subjects spke and muthed five different sentences. They then trained a machine-learning mdel which was then able t predict which f the five sentences the participants spke-whether alud r in silence-with mre than 90%accuracy.
There is a way t g yet, fr nw the device can nly预测 the five phrases it was trained n. Plus, t make it practical at scale, the researchers will need t cllect a lt mre data.
28. In paragraph 1,the authr mainly wants t tell us that____.
A. lungs are easily damaged
B. the human vice is unique
C. vcal crds vibrate t prduce sund
D. vice disrders are a prblem wrthy f attentin
29. Why des the authr mentin the bimetric effect?
A. T explain the wrking principle. B. T present a slutin.
C. T intrduce the challenge. D. T make a cmparisn.
30. What is the functin f the sft patch?
A. Predicting five different sentences.
B. destrying the backgrund magnetic field.
C. Slwing the mvements f thrat muscles.
D. Helping turn muscle mvements int electrical signals.
31. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Predicting the Imprtance f Vice Restratin
B. Using Algrithms in Biengineering Research
C. Overcming Vice Lss with an innvative Patch
D. Finding the Principle f Cmmunicatin Devices

In recent years, much f my life as a cnsumer has shifted t what I like t call backgrund. As I've subscribed t mre apps and streaming platfrms, significant sums f my mney tend t slip away each mnth withut my ever thinking abut it.
Think f it as an autmated trade. Spending withut the truble f spending. Acquaint in withut actin. Or thught.
But while this fld f subscriptins was sld t me n the cnditin that it wuld make my life mre truble-free, there was a certain shck I felt upn discvering hw much I was spending withut realizing each mnth (:$79.45).
Yu see, the thing abut backgrund spending is that it tends t happen, well, in the.
backgrund withut yur full attentin. And there lies the pint.
"Hand ver yur credit card details and let us take care f the rest," these cmpanies prmte. But by again sing their name, we've becme lazy, psitive cnsumers. And this laziness breeds(导致) mre laziness because mst f us can't be bthered with cnducting regular reviews f ur subscriptin spending. We're t lazy t even ntice r cancel it!
I knw it's nt just me wh is suddenly living life as a smart-braised subscriber. The average cnsumer spends $273 per mnth n subscriptins, accrding t a 2021study f 2,500 by digital services firm West Mrse. Nt a single persn surveyed knew what his actually mnthly spending was.
It's understandable why this mdel is s attractive t businesses. As cmpanies questined traditinal advertising mdels, subscriptin ffered the prmise f "selling nce and earning frever." And while subscriptin services have been arund fr decades (think Wine f the Mnth Club), mre custmers have been willing t sign up thanks t the widespread availability f smartphnes and the increasing ease f hme delivery.
While these subscriptin prmise ease and happiness, nt all f us are satisfied. Last year, the Kameny Institute fund 40 percent f cnsumer believe they have t many subscriptins. Almst half f us als think we pay t much fr streaming vide-n-demand subscriptins.
32. What can we knw abut backgrund spending in paragraph 2?
A. Its purpse. B. Its feature. C. Its prcedure. D. Its requirement.
33. What makes it pssible fr backgrund spending t happen?
A. Its attractive price. B. Sme peple's pr habit.
C. Its secure service. D. Sme peple's addictin t it.
34. Why is the subscriptin mdel appealing t businesses?
A. It ffers gd hme delivery services.
B. It is like traditinal advertising mdels.
C. It is ppular amng smartphne prducers.
D. It brings repeated prfits thrugh a single sale.
35. What's the authr's attitude twards backgrund spending?
A. Supprtive. B. Dubtful. C. Critical. D. Unclear.

She was the prettiest puppy we had ever seen, and the whle family immediately fell in lve with her. We named her Olya because f her black, shiny black cat. She spent her first vacatin with us when she was nly ten weeks ld and had her first bath and swim in the St. Lawrence River. We had n clue that this amazing little ball f fur wuld end up being ur her.
As she grew lder, Olya became mre and mre invlved in ur family activities. On ht summer days, Olya enjyed flating n the river with us in her wn rubber tube( 橡皮圈). Amazingly standing n the tp f the tube, she smiled while shwing ff her perfect balance. Resting her frnt legs and paws ver the edge f the rubber tube, she kept her eyes shut as she flated until she'd had enugh f the warm sun n her black cat.
One day, ur eighteen-year-ld daughter, Margie, annunced she was ging t swim acrss the bay. N ne in the family was free t g swimming with her. The unwritten rules, regardless f swimming ability, was t have a cmpanin in the water with yu, especially when swimming the width f the bay. I was nt a gd swimmer, s I said t Margie, "Take her."
