One strategy fr reducing fd waste’s envirnmental impact seems cntrary t cmmn sense: Open mre grcery stres. That’s accrding t new research frm Elena Belavina, an expert in peratins management and supply chains.
The fd we thrw ut because it ges bad when cleaning ut the fridge makes a surprisingly large cntributin t glbal warming. One-third f all fd prduced is wasted, a prblem respnsible fr carbn emissins（排放物） equivalent t all rad transprtatin, said Belavina.
When cnsumers can purchase fd nearby, they shp mre ften but buy less each time, ultimately wasting less. “The mre stres yu have, the lwer fd waste is ging t be,” said Belavina. “Very small increases in stre density（密度） can have a very high impact.”
Belavina fund that in Chicag, which she said is typical f many American cities, adding just three r fur markets within a 10-square-kilmeter area wuld reduce fd waste by 6% t 9%. That wuld achieve an emissins reductin cmparable t cnverting（改装） mre than 20,000 cars frm petrl t electric pwer.
Mst big cities are well belw the ideal density f grcery stres that wuld minimize fd waste, the research determined. In Chicag, that wuld be abut 200 markets within a 10-square-kilmeter area—cmpared t 15 currently—but mst f the benefit frm reduced emissins wuld be achieved by abut 50 markets. New Yrk City, with its abundance f prduce stands and neighbrhd markets, cmes clsest t its ideal density.
Urban planners, city gvernments and activists shuld pursue plicies encuraging an ideal density f grcery stres based n each city’s ppulatin, she said. Chain stres’ sustainability plans shuld analyze hw their stre netwrks and supply chains cntribute t fd waste and emissins verall.
“We actually see sme mves tward ging a little bit back in time and thse small crner stres and mm-and-pp stres are making a cmeback,” she said.
24．Why can higher stre density reduce fd waste?
A．There are mre stres t supply fresh fd.B．There are mre stres t deal with fd waste.
C．Cnsumers can spend less time n buying fd.D．Cnsumers needn’t verbuy their grceries.
25．Hw many markets are there per 10 square kilmeters in Chicag nw?
A．15 markets.B．Abut 4 markets.C．Abut 50 markets.D．Abut 200 markets.
26．What des Belavina think f small crner stres and mm-and-pp stres?
A．They are helpful.B．They are a prblem.
C．They are f little help.D．They d better than grcery stres.
27．Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A．Buy Less, Eat LessB．Ideal Density f Grcery Stres
C．Fd Waste and Glbal WarmingD．Mre Grcery Stres, Less Fd Waste

Recently, I was walking with sme parents when we came acrss a five-pund nte lying n the grund. We std arund it fr a mment, a bit awkwardly, until smene suggested putting it n a nearby bench. Then ne f the parents remarked that we’d prbably have behaved differently—that is, we wuld have just taken the mney—had we been alne.
This relates t a classic questin in studies f human genersity: d we behave mre selfishly when we aren’t being bserved? The debate ges n acrss the psychlgical and bilgical sciences, as well as in ppular culture, abut whether kindness can exist in a cmpetitive wrld.
Ym Kippur is a Jewish（犹太人的） religius hliday when Jewish peple fast and ask fr frgiveness fr the wrngs they’ve cmmitted. One f the pints f Ym Kippur is t behave better regardless f wh is watching. There’s an evlutinary beauty t the teachings f Ym Kippur, which are the prducts f thusands f years f cultural changes and evlutin.
The Maasai peple f Kenya practice stua: relatinships between peple that perate based n need. When smene frms an stua relatinship with anther, they enter int an unwritten cntract t help their partner in times f need. And hunter-gatherer grups, which can represent the circumstances ur species evlved in, have many similar examples.
Cultural evlutin helps t explain the existence and cmplexity f these systems. Culturalchanges are far faster than bilgical evlutin, allwing intelligent species like humans t develp behaviral adaptatins fr managing cmplex scial envirnments. Ostua, r any ther practice that helps t maintain gd treatment f thers in sciety, is the result f tens f thusands f years f cultural trial and errr. The custms passed dwn ver time are thse that help us t develp as cultural grups.
The study f thse changes has helped us t understand hw we successfully spread arund the wrld as cperative grups. Bilgical evlutin has helped humans be mre cperative, but cultural changes have accelerated this prcess.
Cultural evlutin helps us t vercme ur selfish natures. Try t understand rules befre yu ignre them—and next time yu find a fiver n the grund, yu might think abut the awkward situatin yur discvery represents.
28．What made the parents feel a bit awkward?
A．The difficulty sharing the mney.
B．The difficulty finding the wner f the mney.
C．The thught f putting the mney n the bench.
D．The thught f keeping the mney fr themselves.
29．Why is “Ym Kippur” talked abut in the text?
A．T highlight a fact.B．T draw a cnclusin.
C．T make a cmparisn.D．T supprt an argument.
30．Hw is bilgical evlutin different frm cultural evlutin?
A．It evlves much slwer.B．It takes much less time.
C．It is a mre cmplex prcess.D．It makes humans mre cperative.
31．What des the authr intend t explain in the text?
A．Hw cultural evlutin takes place.B．Why peple smetimes behave selfishly.
C．Why kindness exists in a cmpetitive wrld.D．Hw kindness spreads thrughut the wrld.

The sign f a healthy persnal relatinship is ne that is equally mutual（相互的） —where yu get ut just as much as yu put in. Nature has its wn versin f a healthy relatinship. Knwn as mutualisms, they are interactins between species that are mutually beneficial fr each species. One example is the interactin between plants and pllinatrs（传粉者）, where yur apple trees are pllinated and the hneybee gets nectar（花蜜） as a fd reward. But hw are mutualisms affected by ther rganisms that take thse rewards withut prviding a service in return?
A team f researchers recently researched that questin. They investigated the abilities f diverse cmmunities f mutualists, cmparing hw each deals with cheaters. Cheaters are species that steal the benefits f the mutualism withut prviding anything in return. An example f ne f nature’s cheaters is nectar rbbers. Nectar-rbbing bees chew thrugh the side f flwers t feed n nectar withut cming int cntact with the flwer parts that wuld result in pllinatin.
The researchers prduced mutualisms in the lab using yeast strains（酵母菌株） that functined as mutualist species. Each yeast strain prduced a fd resurce t exchange with a mutualist partner. They engineered fur species f each type f mutualists as well as tw cheater strains that were unable t make fd resurces.
The researchers created cmmunities f yeast that differed bth in the number f species and the presence f cheaters. They fund that cmmunities with higher numbers f mutualist species were better able t resist the negative effects f cheaters because there were multiple species f mutualists perfrming the same task. If ne species was lst frm the cmmunity due t cmpeting with a cheater, there were ther species arund t perfrm the task, shwing that the presence f mre species in a cmmunity can reduce the negative effects f cheaters.
Their results highlight the imprtance f having multiple mutualist species that prvide similar resurces r services, essentially creating a backup in case ne species ges extinct. It’s similar t the relatinship between grcery stres and suppliers. Grcery stres have multiple suppliers t ensure that there are always gds available shuld smething happen t ne supplier.
The future study is t explre the pssibility f a mutualist species becming a cheater. The grup is testing if mutualists that perfrm the same functin might set up an envirnment that allws ne f thse mutualist species t becme a cheater since there are ther mutualists arund that can fill that rle.
32．Which f the fllwing can be an example f mutualism?
A．Farmers and crps.B．Sunlight and plants.
C．Cities and wild animals.D．Humans and glbal warming.
33．What can be cncluded frm the study f cmmunities f yeast?
A．Mre cmmunities f yeast are better than ne.B．Mre species f mutualists are better than ne.
C．Mre species f mutualists lead t fewer cheaters.D．Mre cmmunities f yeast lead t fewer cheaters.
34．Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing may have the same rle as “suppliers” underlined in paragraph 5?
A．Nectar.B．Hneybees.C．Cheaters.D．Apples.
35．Accrding t the study, what wuld happen in a cmmunity f mutualists?
A．Cheaters wuld becme extinct.B．Cheaters wuld act as mutualist species.
C．A mutualist species wuld switch t cheating.D．Mutualist species and cheaters wuld wrk tgether.

All at nce I fund at the dr a package f chicken, which lked the same as the ne I had put back at the stre. On the package was a nte, n which was written: Enjy yur chicken. I immediately knew what had happened. Smene really cared abut me! Hlding the package, I was mved t tears, full f gratitude.
I still have n idea wh put the package f chicken at ur dr and have been wndering abut it. Was it the wman behind me in line at the stre that kindly brught me the chicken? Or maybe the cashier at the stre wh nticed me in an awkward situatin? Anyway, n matter wh did this, I knw there is ne thing I can be sure f: there is still kindness in this wrld. It is really heartwarming t think abut this. It always encurages me t get thrugh my hard times.

One strategy fr reducing fd waste’s envirnmental impact seems cntrary t cmmn sense: Open mre grcery stres. That’s accrding t new research frm Elena Belavina, an expert in peratins management and supply chains.
The fd we thrw ut because it ges bad when cleaning ut the fridge makes a surprisingly large cntributin t glbal warming. One-third f all fd prduced is wasted, a prblem respnsible fr carbn emissins（排放物） equivalent t all rad transprtatin, said Belavina.
When cnsumers can purchase fd nearby, they shp mre ften but buy less each time, ultimately wasting less. “The mre stres yu have, the lwer fd waste is ging t be,” said Belavina. “Very small increases in stre density（密度） can have a very high impact.”
Belavina fund that in Chicag, which she said is typical f many American cities, adding just three r fur markets within a 10-square-kilmeter area wuld reduce fd waste by 6% t 9%. That wuld achieve an emissins reductin cmparable t cnverting（改装） mre than 20,000 cars frm petrl t electric pwer.
Mst big cities are well belw the ideal density f grcery stres that wuld minimize fd waste, the research determined. In Chicag, that wuld be abut 200 markets within a 10-square-kilmeter area—cmpared t 15 currently—but mst f the benefit frm reduced emissins wuld be achieved by abut 50 markets. New Yrk City, with its abundance f prduce stands and neighbrhd markets, cmes clsest t its ideal density.
Urban planners, city gvernments and activists shuld pursue plicies encuraging an ideal density f grcery stres based n each city’s ppulatin, she said. Chain stres’ sustainability plans shuld analyze hw their stre netwrks and supply chains cntribute t fd waste and emissins verall.
“We actually see sme mves tward ging a little bit back in time and thse small crner stres and mm-and-pp stres are making a cmeback,” she said.
24．Why can higher stre density reduce fd waste?
A．There are mre stres t supply fresh fd.B．There are mre stres t deal with fd waste.
C．Cnsumers can spend less time n buying fd.D．Cnsumers needn’t verbuy their grceries.
25．Hw many markets are there per 10 square kilmeters in Chicag nw?
A．15 markets.B．Abut 4 markets.C．Abut 50 markets.D．Abut 200 markets.
26．What des Belavina think f small crner stres and mm-and-pp stres?
A．They are helpful.B．They are a prblem.
C．They are f little help.D．They d better than grcery stres.
27．Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A．Buy Less, Eat LessB．Ideal Density f Grcery Stres
C．Fd Waste and Glbal WarmingD．Mre Grcery Stres, Less Fd Waste

Recently, I was walking with sme parents when we came acrss a five-pund nte lying n the grund. We std arund it fr a mment, a bit awkwardly, until smene suggested putting it n a nearby bench. Then ne f the parents remarked that we’d prbably have behaved differently—that is, we wuld have just taken the mney—had we been alne.
This relates t a classic questin in studies f human genersity: d we behave mre selfishly when we aren’t being bserved? The debate ges n acrss the psychlgical and bilgical sciences, as well as in ppular culture, abut whether kindness can exist in a cmpetitive wrld.
Ym Kippur is a Jewish（犹太人的） religius hliday when Jewish peple fast and ask fr frgiveness fr the wrngs they’ve cmmitted. One f the pints f Ym Kippur is t behave better regardless f wh is watching. There’s an evlutinary beauty t the teachings f Ym Kippur, which are the prducts f thusands f years f cultural changes and evlutin.
The Maasai peple f Kenya practice stua: relatinships between peple that perate based n need. When smene frms an stua relatinship with anther, they enter int an unwritten cntract t help their partner in times f need. And hunter-gatherer grups, which can represent the circumstances ur species evlved in, have many similar examples.
Cultural evlutin helps t explain the existence and cmplexity f these systems. Culturalchanges are far faster than bilgical evlutin, allwing intelligent species like humans t develp behaviral adaptatins fr managing cmplex scial envirnments. Ostua, r any ther practice that helps t maintain gd treatment f thers in sciety, is the result f tens f thusands f years f cultural trial and errr. The custms passed dwn ver time are thse that help us t develp as cultural grups.
The study f thse changes has helped us t understand hw we successfully spread arund the wrld as cperative grups. Bilgical evlutin has helped humans be mre cperative, but cultural changes have accelerated this prcess.
Cultural evlutin helps us t vercme ur selfish natures. Try t understand rules befre yu ignre them—and next time yu find a fiver n the grund, yu might think abut the awkward situatin yur discvery represents.
28．What made the parents feel a bit awkward?
A．The difficulty sharing the mney.
B．The difficulty finding the wner f the mney.
C．The thught f putting the mney n the bench.
D．The thught f keeping the mney fr themselves.
29．Why is “Ym Kippur” talked abut in the text?
A．T highlight a fact.B．T draw a cnclusin.
C．T make a cmparisn.D．T supprt an argument.
30．Hw is bilgical evlutin different frm cultural evlutin?
A．It evlves much slwer.B．It takes much less time.
C．It is a mre cmplex prcess.D．It makes humans mre cperative.
31．What des the authr intend t explain in the text?
A．Hw cultural evlutin takes place.B．Why peple smetimes behave selfishly.
C．Why kindness exists in a cmpetitive wrld.D．Hw kindness spreads thrughut the wrld.

The sign f a healthy persnal relatinship is ne that is equally mutual（相互的） —where yu get ut just as much as yu put in. Nature has its wn versin f a healthy relatinship. Knwn as mutualisms, they are interactins between species that are mutually beneficial fr each species. One example is the interactin between plants and pllinatrs（传粉者）, where yur apple trees are pllinated and the hneybee gets nectar（花蜜） as a fd reward. But hw are mutualisms affected by ther rganisms that take thse rewards withut prviding a service in return?
A team f researchers recently researched that questin. They investigated the abilities f diverse cmmunities f mutualists, cmparing hw each deals with cheaters. Cheaters are species that steal the benefits f the mutualism withut prviding anything in return. An example f ne f nature’s cheaters is nectar rbbers. Nectar-rbbing bees chew thrugh the side f flwers t feed n nectar withut cming int cntact with the flwer parts that wuld result in pllinatin.
The researchers prduced mutualisms in the lab using yeast strains（酵母菌株） that functined as mutualist species. Each yeast strain prduced a fd resurce t exchange with a mutualist partner. They engineered fur species f each type f mutualists as well as tw cheater strains that were unable t make fd resurces.
The researchers created cmmunities f yeast that differed bth in the number f species and the presence f cheaters. They fund that cmmunities with higher numbers f mutualist species were better able t resist the negative effects f cheaters because there were multiple species f mutualists perfrming the same task. If ne species was lst frm the cmmunity due t cmpeting with a cheater, there were ther species arund t perfrm the task, shwing that the presence f mre species in a cmmunity can reduce the negative effects f cheaters.
Their results highlight the imprtance f having multiple mutualist species that prvide similar resurces r services, essentially creating a backup in case ne species ges extinct. It’s similar t the relatinship between grcery stres and suppliers. Grcery stres have multiple suppliers t ensure that there are always gds available shuld smething happen t ne supplier.
The future study is t explre the pssibility f a mutualist species becming a cheater. The grup is testing if mutualists that perfrm the same functin might set up an envirnment that allws ne f thse mutualist species t becme a cheater since there are ther mutualists arund that can fill that rle.
32．Which f the fllwing can be an example f mutualism?
A．Farmers and crps.B．Sunlight and plants.
C．Cities and wild animals.D．Humans and glbal warming.
33．What can be cncluded frm the study f cmmunities f yeast?
A．Mre cmmunities f yeast are better than ne.B．Mre species f mutualists are better than ne.
C．Mre species f mutualists lead t fewer cheaters.D．Mre cmmunities f yeast lead t fewer cheaters.
34．Accrding t the text, which f the fllwing may have the same rle as “suppliers” underlined in paragraph 5?
A．Nectar.B．Hneybees.C．Cheaters.D．Apples.
35．Accrding t the study, what wuld happen in a cmmunity f mutualists?
A．Cheaters wuld becme extinct.B．Cheaters wuld act as mutualist species.
C．A mutualist species wuld switch t cheating.D．Mutualist species and cheaters wuld wrk tgether.

I vlunteered at an elderly care hme this past summer. 42 , I didn’t think much abut the visits t the residents. There culdn’t be anything 43 t talk abut with ld peple, right? But as I gt t knw them my utlk—and life—cmpletely 44 .
One resident I remember vividly was a wman with a friendly smile. I 45 a cllectin f prcelain（瓷制的） shes, in varying sizes, beside her windw. “Thse are really pretty,” I said. The wman’s face instantly lit up. “Ah yes! I used t 46 them when I was yunger,” she said, carefully 47 a she with a beautiful design. “My daughter bught it fr me. I saw it in an antique stre and just knew I had t have it.” I culd feel the 48 in her vice.
I visited anther resident wh kept her wedding phtgraph next t her bed. The phtgraph, thugh 49 and black-and-white, shwed the pure jy n the bride’s and grm’s faces. Alng with the phtgraph, she 50 pstcards and letters frm her family. Lking at the pictures n the pstcards, she culd 51 she was traveling arund the wrld with them.
These stries—s familiar, yet s distant frm my 52 —made me see what truly defines happiness. Despite their ld 53 , the residents had happy memries f friends and family, and a great deal f experiences t 54 . All these little details turn int their wn 55 f happiness. I must make the mst f life s that ne day I can unearth my wn tiny pieces f happiness.
