Growing up as a kid in the UK, I was fascinated by insects. Wanting to protect them, I started building
houses for ants, using little pieces of wood and leaves. I then moved on to making little cups and saucers from
silver foil (箔纸) for the magical creatures. When seeing my work, my mother told me that the smaller I made
things, the bigger my name would become.
As the years went by my designs became more complicated. Making sculptures isn’t actually enjoyable.
I sometimes work for 16 hours a day without breaks, and it takes me up to three months to finish a sculpture.
I have to hold my breath during the sculpting process.
One time, a fly landed on a Cinderella carriage sculpture I was working on. The fly’s wings blew it away,
and it was lost. I was heartbroken. Another time, I accidentally breathed in a microscopic Alice from Alice in
Wonderland. Alice is now in the Wonderland forever. But it did give me the chance to make an even better
one the second time around.
My sculptures have taken me to incredible places. In 2012, I met the queen, giving her a crown on the
head of a pin. In 2013, I received my first Guinness World Record for creating the smallest sculpture by hand,
a 24-carat gold motorbike that fitted inside a hair. In 2017, I beat my record with a sculpture of a human fetus
that measured 0.078 mm by 0.053 mm.
I was diagnosed with autism (自闭症). In school, my teachers had pointed me out as an example of
failure; now, I see my autism as a gift. It’s pushed me to be the best I can be. I hold workshops in schools for
children with neuro (神经的) problems, sharing my story and helping them create their own miniature figures.
The microscopic world has always been my happy place. I’ve tried to make bigger sculptures, but small
is best for me. We need to appreciate the little things in life. Small things can also be mighty, too.

A study, led by University of Essex and University of Chicago, found that employees in remote settings
generate fewer and lower-quality innovative ideas compared to those working full-time in the office. The
findings also apply to those in hybrid settings where employees get the best of both worlds, spending some
days in the office and some at home.
While remote and hybrid working arrangements can enhance employees’ work-life balance, many
business leaders have voiced concerns over innovation suffering with these new work modes. Interestingly,
the CEO of Zoom, the leading online communication application, recently required employees work more
from the office, specifically mentioning a decline in innovation. The new research finds their concerns seem
to stand on solid ground.
“
Innovation in the workplace can occur through random, informal ‘watercooler’ conversations between
employees, such as when they are chatting over coffee time,” explained lead researcher Dr. Christoph
Siemroth. “However, these ‘productive accidents’ are unlikely to occur when employees work from home.”
The study followed over 48,000 employees from an Indian IT company, which has taken significant steps
such as offering financial rewards to promote a culture where all employees see innovation as a key part of
their job. The employees write up ideas about process improvements, cost-saving measures, or new products,
which are then evaluated by the company.
While the quantity of ideas didn’t change during the working from home period compared to working in
the office, the quality of ideas suffered. During the later hybrid period, the quantity of submitted ideas fell and
innovation suffered, particularly in teams which did not schedule when they worked at the office or from home.
The findings imply that companies should take steps to regulate when employees are in the office. Innovation
does not work well if half the team is in on Mondays while the other half is in on Wednesdays. Instead, set
days when the whole team are expected in the office. While this limits the flexibility of hybrid work, research
suggests that innovation benefits as a result.

A. Need solid proof.
B. Be hard to believe.
D. Have good reasons.
C. Be easy to understand.
9. What contributes to workplace innovation according to Dr. Christoph Siemroth?
A. Favorable and relaxing company culture.
B. Unplanned interaction among employees.
C. Access to workplace facilities and resources.
D. Professional training in promoting productivity.
0. What can we learn about workplace innovation from the study?
A. Remote workers generated ideas of high quality.
B. Financial rewards could greatly boost innovation.
C. The hybrid work mode delivered unsatisfying results.
D. Working modes had no impact on the number of ideas.

When it comes to balancing the needs of humans and
the needs of nature, historically it was “develop or conserve”
or “develop or restore”. However, now conservation methods
are increasingly focusing on coexistence with nature and
ecological resilience (恢复力).
The traditional model in coastal protection is that you
build some kind of hard, fixed structures like a seawall, but
conventional seawalls can have negative effects on biodiversity, habitats, nutrient cycling and the environment
at large. “In this case, coastal protection and biodiversity are really at odds,” says Carter Smith, who researches
coastal restoration.
That’s where living shorelines come in. Living shorelines incorporate plants and natural materials like
sand and rock to stabilize coastal areas and protect them from storms while also creating more natural habitats
and minimizing environmental destruction. Smith and his colleagues studied how living shorelines performed
during multiple hurricanes and found that living shorelines had significantly less “visible damage or erosion”
compared to sites with conventional storm protection infrastructure.
In addition to living shorelines, predators ( 捕 食 者 ) also play important roles in restoring ocean
ecosystems. “One of the best examples we have of top predators facilitating ecosystems are tiger sharks in
Australia,” says Prof. Brian Silliman, one of Smith’s colleagues. When the sharks are around, sea turtles eat
fewer sea plants. “It’s not because the sharks eat a lot of sea turtles but because they scare them toward the
shoreline.”
When physical stressors like climate change reach a certain point in a given ecosystem, wildlife can
rapidly decline. But wildlife that is adjusted to coexisting with a top predator may have a higher stress
threshold (阈值). In our ever-changing world, the ability to adapt is as important as ever. “I think there’s great
optimism and opportunity here,” Silliman says. “There is so much that we can learn from nature, and the more
we can learn to coexist and to integrate our society with thriving ecosystems, the better it will be for everyone,”
Smith agrees.

A. The balance between humans and nature.
B. The improvement in ecological resilience.
C. A promising consequence of nature restoration. D. A shift in the environmental protection strategy.
3. What’s the purpose of paragraph 2?
A. To present Smith’s research achievements.
B. To demonstrate the significance of shorelines.

C. To explain the function of conventional seawalls.
D. To show the problem of old-fashioned protection.
4. How do tiger sharks help restore the ocean ecosystem?

A. By regulating sea turtles’ behavior.
B. By influencing sea turtles’ population.
C. By removing sea plants from their habitat.
D. By preventing physical stressors occurring.

depth view into what you want and need. In addition, other people may have insight into your life that you
may be blind to. You can share your problem with family or friends.
