Oxfrd Dictinaries’ wrd f the year fr 2022 was “gblin mde”: a kind f behavir mde, which means a crazy self-enjyment, typically in a way that rejects scial custms r regulatins. If we all gt fascinated by making ur hme cmfrt and beautiful, it feels like last year was the year we gave up: Welcming the mess and the chas in daily life.
Orgamzed mess has been in fashin fr a while, after the cming f the term “cluttercre”: the art f having masses f stuff in ne’s hme and embracing (拥抱) clr and nise. Think messy maximalism: Chas, but lvely designed chas.
Clean spaces dn’t lead a man t innvatin and creatin. This is the reasn why s many geniuses d their wrk in cluttered surrundings. They dn’t see the mess — they see pssibility. Ever knwn the type f persn t stre crayns in the micrwave and bks in the washing machine? That’s prbably because they are mre creative in disrder. Staying messy builds the cnnectins which lead them t new and creative ideas. They believe that messes ffer new appraches t seeing the wrld. S dn’t get wrried abut being messy. That just might spark yur next genius inventin.
Messy peple have their wn unique ways f keeping rganized. Yu wuldn’t knw frm lking at their piles f stuff, but they knw exactly what’s in them and hw t find what they’re lking fr every time. These piles are, in their eyes, well-rganized and everything is easy t get. Painters, writers, musicians and creatrs thrughut histry have ften wrked in disrder. They have their unique way t place their bjects and that is what they like.
4. What des the writer mean in the first paragraph?
A. Ignring scial custms r regulatins.B. Learning t enjy life by neself.
C. Being psitive t a life f mess and chas.D. Intrducing the wrd fr 2022.
5. What d we knw abut “rganized mess”?
A. It is an art f mess lvely displayed.B. It is an art f placing everything in rder.
C. It cmes befre the wrd “cluttercre”.D. It is hated by geniuses.
6. What des the underlined wrd “pssibility” refer t?
A. The pssibility f being a talent.B. The pssibility f being a messy man.
C. The pssibility f getting inspiratin.D. The pssibility f being clean.
7. Why des the authr mentin the painters, writers, musicians and creatrs in the last paragraph?
A. T prve that artists all lve mess and chas.
B. T shw they have a gd memry.
C. T present their messy side.
D. T ffer examples f messy peple’s unique way f being rganized.

Why d we find ugly-cute animals s attractive? And what makes dd-lking creatures s cute?
Evlutin (进化) plays a rle. Accrding t Austrian zlgist Erin Fekete, human attractin t childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and sft bdies, is an evlutinary adaptatin that helps ensure that adults care fr the yung, assuring the survival f their species. Odd-lking animals such as blbfish, pugs, aye-ayes and bulldgs all share these childish qualities that cause a lving respnse amng humans and a nature t raise and prtect. And these childish characteristics increase a persn’s “prtective behavir, attentin and willingness” t care fr the individual and reduce the “pssibility f aggressin twards a child”, says Cyril Druet, a researcher.
Ugly-cute animals ften have ther value— sme, like the blbfish, live in extreme envirnments that they have adapted t in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen t study these animals t understand whether their bilgy might prvide fresh ideas that culd lead t treatments fr human health cnditins such as cancer and heart disease.
But while many ugly creatures are strngly adapted t their life in the wild and can prvide numerus benefits t the ecsystems they live in, they ften still dn’t get as much attentin as mre traditinally cute and beautiful animals, which leads t many f the ugly-cute species being ignred in terms f research.
There are ther culture-led factrs that als cause ur attractin fr ugly-cute animals. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashinable.” says Rwena Packer, a lecturer f animal behavir. “This is partly caused by scial media, with many scial media influencers shwing ff pet pugs and French bulldgs n Instagram.” she says.
But there are sme serius wrries arund this trend. Veterinarians (兽医) are calling n peple nt t keep a flat-faced dg, because they suffer frm serius health prblems. Pugs and French bulldgs which have been selectively kept experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin prblems and eye diseases. S while childish features such as big eyes may make us smile, we might want t recnsider ur attractin fr “ugly-cute” pets.
8. What des the underlined wrd “aggressin” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Threatening behavir.B. Strange behavir.C. Friendly behavir.D. Smart behavir.
9. Why are sme ugly animals verlked in terms f research?
A. They are f n interest t scientists.B. They are less cute and attractive.
C. They d nt have unique bilgical feature.D. They are nt well-adapted t their envirnments.
10. What can be inferred abut the rle f scial media in prmting the ppularity f ugly-cute animals?
A. Influencers have started a campaign t raise awareness abut ugly animals.
B. Peple prefer t pst pictures f ugly animals n scial media rather than cute animals.
C. Scial media didn’t make it easier t spread infrmatin abut animals.
D. The ugly-cute animals shared n scial media culd raise peple’s attractin fr them.
11. Hw des the authr feel abut the current trend f keeping flat-faced dgs?
A. Encuraging.B. Indifferent.C. Cncerned.D. Excited.
