Anyone interested in easy ways to make a positive impact on their communities need look no further than 12-year-old Danykah Muck, a Michigan middle-schooler whose simple learning project is an inspiration to positive thinkers of any age. It all started with her way to school every school day. Every morning she would greet an old man in her neighborhood, who she still doesn’t know his name, smiling or even simply offering a friendly word “hello”. And he would always nod and smile back. “It seems to considerably change the emotional energy around me in the community,” She noticed this in both directions, “That simple act can both change our entire day with how they greet me.”
Last spring, Muck brought an idea to her teachers. She provided them with a pile of sticky notes she had filled with brief—sometimes one-word—positive messages. She then asked the teachers to place the notes on students’ desks before they arrived at school the next day. She also gave pre-filled sticky notes to the lunch staff and to school administrators including the principal. The idea was to make it easy for teachers, staff and students to regularly encounter reminders that they matter and are valued. “You are enough just being you,” reads one favorite note. Muck’s idea could be just the thing in an office, assisted living facility or even at home for a small family.
“Low-cost” positive interactions, like a friendly word offered to the postal worker or coffee shop servant, are shown by psychology researchers to build sympathy and abate loneliness. An anonymous note sent into someone’s inbox or stuck to their front door is perhaps the lowest-cost connection there is, with potential benefits beyond our imagination. Sometimes the smallest encouragements have the biggest impact. What would you say on a sticky note to share with someone in your community?
24. What message does paragraph 1 convey?
A. Middle-schoolers are friendly to the elderly.
B. A simple act of kindness makes a difference.
C. A community can be easily shaped by interest.
D. Learning projects can inspire positive thinkers.
25. How did Muck help people in her school?
A. By writing thank-you letters. B. By means of sticking notices.
C. By talking with school leaders. D. By writing encouraging words.
26. What does the underlined word “abate” probably mean?
A. Measure. B. Monitor. C. Ease. D. Stand
27. The best title for the text is probably ______.
A. What a friendly word means to a stranger B. Never be bothered by negative thoughts
C. Brighten the community with positivity D. How to build a harmonious community
C
Loneliness is significant mental health concern and can raise risk of death by 45% and contact with nature in cities significantly reduces feelings of loneliness, according to a team of scientists.
The study is the first to assess how the environment can affect loneliness. It used real-time data, collected via a smartphone app, rather than relying on people’s memory of how they were feeling.
The research found that feelings of overcrowding increased loneliness by an average of 30%. But when people were able to see trees or hear birds, feelings of loneliness fell by 28%. Feelings of social inclusion also cut loneliness by 21% and when these feelings coincided (巧合) with contact with nature, the beneficial effect was boosted by a further 18%.
The findings pointed to interventions to reduce loneliness. The researchers said, “Specific measures that increase social inclusion and contact with nature should be taken, especially in thickly populated cities.” Time spent in nature is known to boost well-being, with woodland walks estimated to save the UK at least ￡185m a year in mental health costs, for example.
The research collected data from urban citizens across the world using the Urban Mind research app. More than 750 people provided 16,600 of these assessments. The participants were self-selecting and so it did not provide a representative sample of the wider populations. But when the researchers took age, education, and occupation into account, the benefits of nature contact and feelings of social inclusion on loneliness remained strongly statistically significant. Johanna Gibbons, part of the research team, said, “Cities are probably the only habitat that is increasing at a high rate. So we should be creating urban habitats where people can thrive (兴旺).”
28. How was the research conducted?
A. By relying on people’s memory.
B. By surveying 750 urban participants.
C. By collecting data through a smartphone app.
D. By checking a worldwide representative sample.
29. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A. Many big cities take the lead in the research.
B. Time spent indoors improves people’s well-being.
C. Woodland walks greatly reduce social contact with people.
D. Interventions to reduce loneliness benefit the UK financially.
30. What can be inferred about the research?
A. It offers a wide range of samples globally.
B. Many factors are considered except education.
C. The carefully selected participants are reliable
D. The findings are statistically remarkable.
31. What’s the text mainly about?
A. The mental problems of living in big cities.
B. Developing urban habitats at a high speed.
C. Research on how to get rid of loneliness in nature.
D. Reducing loneliness in cities via contact with nature.
D
Whether you consume it in ice cream, coffee, cupcakes, pudding, or protein shakes, the vanilla you eat in the future might taste just a little bit sweeter thanks to a surprising new ingredient: used plastic.
Admittedly, it doesn’t sound very appetizing. To scientists Joanna Sadler and Stephen Wallace at Scotland’s University of Edinburgh, however, what’s even less delicious is plastic waste, which currently enters the ocean at a rate of 8 million tons per year—enough plastic waste to outweigh all of the ocean’s fish by the year 2050. To help stop the plastic pollution on land and at sea, they’ve designed a novel way to turn it into vanillin, a chemical substance in vanilla extract that gives it its distinct vanilla smell and flavor.
Although it can be found in natural vanilla bean extract, vanillin also can be made synthetically using chemicals coming from petrol. To create it from plastic, instead, researchers genetically modified a strain of E. coli bacteria so that it can make vanillin from a raw material used in the production of plastic bottles.
According to their research paper, around 85% of the world’s vanillin is synthesized from chemicals that are obtained from fossil fuels. That’s because demand for vanillin—which is used widely not only in food, but also in beauty products, cleaning products, and herbicides—is far greater than supply. In Madagascar, which grows 80% of the world’s natural vanilla, pollinating, harvesting, and curing vanilla beans is a long and painstaking process that couldn’t possibly yield enough vanillin for modern appetites. And even if it could, the only way to naturally increase vanillin supply would be to plant more vanilla plantations, which would drive deforestation.
Being able to create vanillin with plastic instead of petroleum means increasing vanillin supply while decreasing plastic waste, reducing industrial reliance on fossil fuels, and preserving forests.
“Using microorganisms to turn waste plastics, which are harmful to the environment, into an important product is a beautiful demonstration of green chemistry,” said Ellis Crawford, publishing editor at the United Kingdom’s Royal Society of Chemistry.
32. How do scientists produce vanilla?
A. Extracting it from plastic bottles.
B. Forming it without bacteria.
C. Changing the formula of protein shakes.
D. Taking it from ocean life.
33. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “synthetically” in paragraph 3?
A. Naturally. B. Artificially.
C. Biologically. D. Industrially.
34. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Madagascar is the biggest vanilla import country in the world.
B. Making natural vanilla is an easy process.
C. Enlarging vanilla plantations is environmentally-friendly.
D. Producing vanilla from plastic is a win-win solution.
35. Where will you possibly read this passage?
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel booklet.
C. In an economic textbook. D. In an advertisement.
