“The water will turn t steam, which will pwer cars.” “Yeah, that’s a really cl idea.”
This cnversatin is part f a lessn abut technlgies that reduce planet-heating pllutin. It was lectured in a brand-new way, by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Blmingtn High Schl. Climate change is the stry f tday’s yung peple’s lives. But Milks says,“Our students need t knw nt just the stuff we hear abut in the news,but als the actual difference we can make in ur shared future.” S, she teaches in such an innvative way.
Creativity is at the cre f her lessn. After students learn the basics f climate engineering, which cvers a range f strategies, including reflecting sunlight back int space and remving carbn dixide frm the atmsphere, they’re asked t “cme up with interesting wild ideas” t slw glbal warming. In the first rund f brainstrming, students imagined lts f ways t reflect light back int the atmsphere, like cvering the desert in shiny glitter (发光物). Next, students are asked t cnsider the ptential limitatins and risks t their ideas. Take glitter in the desert, fr example:“Hw are we ging t make sure that the glitter desn’t get eaten by the rck pcket muse r snakes?” Milks asks. The student suggests making the glitter large and smth enugh s it wn’t be eaten by animals r therwise harm them. Fr their final assignment, students present their cncepts, including their anticipated benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant prfessr at Indiana University, wh carefully watch the whle lessn, says,“The neat thing abut seeing all f these ideas cme ut f the classrm is it’s nt I can’t d it. It’s we can d it. Humans, when they get tgether, can d amazing things. And that’s what gives me hpe.”
Why des Kirstin Milks lecture in an innvative way?
She’s bettering ways t pwer cars.
She’s inspiring students t address real prblems.
She’s making science classes mre accessible.
She’s helping students stay infrmed f climate change.
25. What des paragraph 3 mainly talk abut?
A. Prcedures f a lessn B. The cre value f creativity.
C. Ideas f different students D. The key cncept f slutins.
26. Hw is the last paragraph mainly develped?

C. By making a cmparisn. D. By prviding an example.

Slar eclipses (日食) happen when the Mn passes between the Earth and the Sun. These events are always spectacular. But ttal slar eclipses are extra special. One such eclipse was visible acrss large parts f Nrth America n April 8, 2024. During that time, sky watchers felt surprised at the view. They als tk part in scientific research.
The eclipse was a piece f exciting news fr slar science. On April 8, the Sun neared its mst active phase when the Sun gave ff mre radiatin and a lt f charged particles frm its surface. Such slar strms threatened satellites rbiting the Earth. They even disrupted pwer grids n the grund. These are what the science prs fund.
“Luckily, researchers nw have mre scientific instruments t study ur star than ever befre,” said Kelly Krreck, wh is an astrphysicist. “This prvides a unique chance t learn abut the Sun and its effects n ur planet and its atmsphere. ”
But science prs aren’t the nly nes getting in n the fun. Citizen scientists are members f the public wh help gather bservatins and analyze them. “There is a lt f emphasis n citizen science and having flks d slar science prjects,” Krreck said.
Scientists hped t recruit as many phnes as pssible, which wuld spread ut ver the 2,000-mile-lng and 100-mile-wide path f the April 2024 eclipse. Krreck said, “That will ffer views f the slar shape frm a very large number f vantage pints. And it’s up t citizen scientists t d it.”
Citizen scientists were able t take part withut interrupting their view f the eclipse. They just started an app n their phne and prpped it up facing the Sun at least five minutes befre the Mn passed in frnt f the Sun. The app handled the rest. They culd get t keep cpies f the pictures as a suvenir. “That was a gd chance fr citizen scientists t cntribute t eclipse research,” Krreck said. That’s true whether they set up a camera r installed an app.
What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. The ttal slar eclipse was visible in the entire America.
B. The ttal slar eclipse has sme impact n the Earth.
C. The Earth gives ff mre radiatin during slar eclipses.
D. Sky watchers cntributed a lt t scientific research.
29. What did Krreck think f citizen scientists?
A. They are enthusiastic.B. They are creative.
C. They are ptimistic. D. They are essential.
30. What did the scientists want t get frm citizen scientists during the ttal slar eclipse?
A. Useful pints abut the ttal slar eclipse.
B. As many phnes as pssible with apps installed.
C. Observatins f the ttal slar eclipse frm different angles.
D. Mre scientific instruments t help bserve slar eclipses.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. What citizen scientists gt frm the eclipse research.
B. Hw citizen scientists gt invlved in the eclipse research.
C. Hw much time citizen scientists spent in taking pictures.
D. Why the ttal slar eclipse was a gd chance fr the scientists.

Are yu eyebrw blind? TikTk users seem t think s—many have cmplained n the platfrm abut makeup wearers’ apparent inability t spt whether they’re blindly fllwing makeup trends r wearing what lks gd n their faces. Thugh “eyebrw blindness” and ther types f “beauty blindness” aren’t exactly cnsidered mental health truble, peple's tendency t fllw trends—even when they lk silly r take risks ding s—is definitely a real phenmenn.
S, what des psychlgy say abut trend fllwing? First, fllwing trends isn’t a sign f character weakness r mental health truble. Instead, says psychlgist Pamela’B. Rutledge, it’s perfectly nrmal. The reasn fr trend fllwing relates t humans’ cre need t belng t a scial grup and cnnect with thers. Multiple psychlgical framewrks argue that human cnnectins are as imprtant as basics like access t fd and shelter because humans evlved t rely n ne anther fr survival.
But why d trends themselves have such a pull? “Our brains are hardwired t ntice what’s unusual,” Rutledge says. Thus, we ntice utliers and attentin-grabbers, making trends even mre appealing fr thse bld enugh t fllw them.
N ne is exempt frm fllwing crazes, nticing trends, r signaling their real belnging t scial grups. But ne grup in particular is even easier t fllw trends—even risky nes: Tweens, teens, and yung adults. As children start the rad tward adult independence, they lk fr ways t express their individuality. This can prduce smetimes desperate attempts t prve affiliatin(隶属关系) with scially credible in-grups and can fuel desire t stand ut with the help f trends.
S, next time yu put n makeup—r get dressed, rder a meal in public, r purchase a vehicle—cnsider that yur decisin may nt be as persnalized as yu may think. “It’s really just an inbrn respnse, ne that can be explained by ur need t fit in with r stand ut frm the crwd.” says Rutledge.
Accrding t the first paragraph,a beauty blind persn might .
ppse makeup trends publicly
fllw makeup trends uncritically
rely n scial media fr makeup advice
take risks with untested beauty prducts
33. What’s a primary mtivatin f trend fllwing?
A. Financial prfit. B. Scial cnnectin
C. Artistic expressin. D. Character weakness.
34. Which can best replace the underlined wrds “exempt frm” in paragraph 4?
A. free f B. subject t.C. expsed t. D. cncerned abut.
35. What might Rutledge think f trend fllwing?
A. It’s a persnalized chice.
B. It mirrrs peple’s mental health.
C. It results frm lack f self-cnfidence.
D. It’s a natural respnse t scial signals.

Again, she plucked up her curage, leaned frward and set ut! “Awesme! Nice swping!” Patrick and mm shuted with ne vice.

A new study suggests watching mre than three hurs f televisin a day dubles memry lss in lder peple. (18) (19) Scientists at University Cllege Lndn used memry and fluency tests n the same grup f peple six years apart. (18) They fund that the memry f thse wh watched mre than three hurs a day declined by an average f eight t ten percent. The research team believes that watching televisin may be putting additinal stress n the mind, which cntributes t memry decline. (19)
Older peple wh watch mre televisin are als less likely t participate in activities. And thse activities are usually knwn t preserve mental functin, such as reading, using the Internet r playing vide games. The researchers say that televisin viewing may als be a risk factr fr Alzheimer’s(阿尔兹海默病), but mre research is needed t cnfirm this link.
While watching televisin may have educatinal and relaxatin benefits, the researchers advise that adults ver the age f 50 shuld try t balance televisin viewing with ther activities. (20) If yu’re cncerned that the amunt f televisin yu’re watching culd have a negative impact n yur health, yu shuld cntrl the amunt f TV watching each day and take up sme healthy hbbies instead.
