I was sitting at my desk when anther graduate student in my lab apprached me. “Can yu help?” he asked. His experiment wasn't wrking and he desperately needed help. I was then a fifth year PhD student, and I tk pride in being the senir member f the lab, whm everyne lked up t. But that als meant I was the ne everyne turned t fr help — which ate away burs, days, and smetimes weeks that I culd have spent n my wn research.
There were many reasns I had a hard time saying n t such pleas (恳求). I was new t the United States fr graduate schl. I fund it difficult t make new friends and discver activities I enjyed. S I spent a huge chank f my time in the lab, with my lab-mates serving as my primary surce f scial cnnectin. I feared that if I turned dwn their requests, I'd lse their favr.
But the extra respnsibilities came at a cst. I had t wrk extra hurs t catch up with my wn wrk, and I ften made sacrifices t my persnal life.
It wasn't until my wife gave birth t ur first child that I realized hw thin I had stretched myself and hw misguided my pririties(优先次序) were. While she lay in a hspital bed in the early stages f labr, I sat nearby hunched(伏首前倾的) ver my laptp finishing up a wrk reprt. Hurs later, after hearing my daughter's first cry and watching her tiny fingers grab tightly nt mine, it dawned n me: I shuld have been fully present during my daughter's birth. I was clearly spending t much time wrking if my jb had intruded(侵入) int ne f the mst precius mments f my life.
Frm then n ,I decided t spend mre time with my family by declining extra assignments and carefully cnsidering each request fr help. I still enjyed cllabrating with thers, but I priritized mutually beneficial tasks r thse my manager asked me t take n, rather than accepting everything that came my way.
I nticed many benefits: n lnger wrking vertime and imprved wrk perfrmance. I was als pleased t discver that “Srry , I'd lve t help but I have a deadline cming up” is an acceptable respnse t a request fr assistance.
It's hard t say “n ” t thse yu wrk with. But I've learned that smetimes that's the best curse f actin t avid an excessive wrklad and lead a freer and happier life.

Nt nly is secnd-hand shpping gd fr the planet and yur wallet, but new research finds that the mre cnscius(关注的) f style yu are, the mre likely yu are t shp fr secnd-hand clthes.
It is ften assumed that thse wh shp fr secnd-hand clthes d s t save mney r reduce their impact n the envirnment. In fact, accrding t the research. style-cnsciusness is a bigger predictr f secnd-hand shpping than frugality r ec-cnsciusness.
Style-cnsciusness is very different frm fashin-cnsciusness. Fashin is all abut the “new” , and is cnstantly evlving. Style, n the ther hand, is abut expressing lng-term individual identity.
Fashin shppers are used t a cntinuus supply f new trends and fast fashin prducts. Fast fashin wrks quickly t replicate ( 复制) an ever-mving stream f fashin trends, generating large vlumes f lw-quality clthes. The impact f fast fashin n the envirnment is significant and well-dcumented. Glbally ,the fast fashin industry creates 92 millin tns f waste per year. Less than 15 percent f clthes are recycled r reused.
A style-cnscius persn expresses themselves thrugh their clthes. These shppers want secnd-hand clthes that shw their persnal style and values. They lk fr authentic and riginal pieces and avid mainstream trends and fast fashin. They buy clthes that are timeless, well-made and all w them t express their individual identity.
Ging against the fast fashin trend, grwing numbers f peple are shpping fr secnd-hand clthing. And the number f secnd-hand stres is als increasing. The research suggests much f this grwth is due t shppers cnsidering themselves t be style-cnscius.
We hpe with increasing numbers f secnd-hand stres, markets and nline platfrms selling a range f quality, pre-lved clthes at different price pints fr different budgets—cupled with the grwing acceptance f secnd-hand shpping—shppers will cnsider buying secnd-hand mre ften. Nt nly are yu helping the planet, yu are als likely t be ding it with style.
28. What des the underlined wrd “frugality” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Buying expensive items. B. Nt recycling used clthes.
C. Being envirnmentally aware. D. Nt spending much mney.
29. Hw are fashin-cnscius shppers different frm style-cnscius shppers?
A. They keep up with current trends.
B. They take a greater interest in clthes.
C. They prefer t buy lw-quality clthes.
D. They are mre cnscius f the envirnment.
30. Why d style-cnscius shppers want t wear secnd-hand clthes?
A. T understand themselves better.
B. T make statements abut themselves.
C. T express their cncerns abut the planet.
D. T prve the value f secnd-hand clthes.
31. What might be a suitable title fr the text?
A. The Mre Stylish, the Better. B. Helping the Planet with Style.
C. Shpping Secnd Hand Matters. D. Hw Fast Fashin Affects the Planet.

Natural selectin is the prcess by which ne type f animal within a species develps well because f certain characteristics that make it mre likely t live than thers in its grup. The histry f the peppered mth(桦尺蛾) is an example f the natural selectin prcess.
In nineteenth-century England, certain types f peppered mths were able t better blend (融合) int their surrundings. During that time perid, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revlutin was part f this change, and with it came air pllutin. Natural selectin usually takes hundreds r even thusands f years t ccur. Fr the peppered mth, this prcess ccurred relatively quickly .
At the beginning f the Industrial Age, mst peppered mths in England were light-clured and cvered with black markings, althugh a few mths had dark-clured wings. Because the light-clured mths blended int the light-clured bar k n the trees, they culd nt be easily seen by birds that wuld eat them. As the air grew mre plluted, hwever, tree trunks (树干) became cvered with st (煤烟) and became darker. The light-clured mths became easy fr birds t see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-clured mths nw had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered mth went frm being mstly light-clured t being mstly dark-clured.
In the twentieth century, the air cleared up, and the peppered mth ppulatin changed again. As tree trunks lightened due t less st in the air, light-clured mths nce again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as st levels declined. Depending n their envirnment, the cluratin f the mths helped them t be “naturally selected” t survive.
32. What was unusual abut the peppered mth's natural selectin prcess?
A. Its uncertainty. B. Its cmplexity.
C. Its cntributing factrs. D. Its length f time.
33. What can we learn frm paragraph 3?
A. Bth kinds f mths preferred dark-clured trunks.
B. Light-clured mths were mre sensitive t pllutin.
C. Different kinds f mths preferred different air cnditins.
D. Dark-clured mths were riginally easier t see n trees.
34. What wuld mst likely happen if st darkened England's trees again?
A. New species f mths wuld appear.
B. Light-clured mths wuld die ut.
C. Dark-clured mths wuld rise in number again.
D. Mths wuld be less dependent n their surrundings.
35. What des the authr want t illustrate with the example f mths?
A. Nthing is permanent. B. It is the fittest that survives.
C. Keep up with the times. D. Envirnmental prtectin is essential.
