Accrding t a new reprt in Chinese scial media platfrm Xiahngshu, the number f nline psts related t the circulatin(流通) f used gds in 2022 increased by 814 percent year n year. Instead f buying useless things, peple are changing twards using secndhand gds and replacing underused r unused bjects. This trend is picking up in the cuntry.
Since the summer f 2022, a 26-year-ld Shanghai citizen named Chen Jiarng has been walking alng Julu Rad in Shanghai’s dwntwn area nce r twice a week, lking arund and picking up “garbage” (垃圾). After her actin was nticed nline, she was described by thers as a “stper”.
The wrd “stp” means t bend frward, but in the United States, it als refers t a platfrm r entrance stairway t a huse. The term “stper” was created in the US after a lt f peple put their used r underused belngings in frnt f their drsteps t be taken away fr free by thse in need. Later, “stping” was used t mean “picking up abandned gds and recycling them”.
As the first “stper” in China, Chen had her wn way. She picked unused gds t help find suitable new wners fr sme items. When she fund such abandned (被抛弃的) gds, she put a pair f eyeball-shaped stickers n them befre publishing ntes n her scial media accunts, and guiding thers t pick them up frm the streets.

Peple are gradually advcating ( 提倡) a savings-based cnsumptin ( 消 费 ) and envirnment-friendly lifestyle instead f blindly seeking fr expensive cnsumptin. Nw, mre yung peple are jining us.”

In sutheastern Brazil, lcal fishers walk int dark waters in search f mullet (鲻鱼). On their wn, it wuld be tricky t find the silvery fish. But the humans get help frm an unusual partner—wild bttle-nse dlphins.
With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish tward the shre. A signal frm the dlphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they shuld cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed dwn thrugh the generatins, lasting fr mre than a century.
While researchers knew humans prfited frm this pairing, they culdn’t cnfirm whether it benefited the dlphins. Nw, in a new study in Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences, researchers suggest cetaceans that hunt with humans have mre chances t live than thse that dn’t. “Human-wildlife cperatin in general is an uncmmn phenmenn (现象) at a glbal scale,” says Maurici Cantr, a bilgist at Oregn State University and leader f the study. “Usually humans gain the benefit, and nature pays the cst. But this interactin (互动) has been happening fr
ver 150 years.”
Fishers were mre successful when they wrked with the dlphins. When dlphins were present, the fishers were 17 times mre likely t catch prey (猎物) and netted nearly fur times mre mullet when they timed their casting with the cetaceans signals. Eighty-six percent f all 4,955 mullet caught during the study perid came frm their interactins at the same time—when the allies rganized their actins perfectly with ne anther.
The study als revealed dlphins hunting with humans had a 13 percent increase in survival rate ver ther dlphins. These cperative ( 合作的) dlphins are mre likely t stay near the shre reducing their chance f being caught in illegal fishing equipment. Besides, the dlphins can take sme fish directly frm the fishers harvest.
What d the first tw paragraphs talk abut cncerning Brazilian fishers?
They trick dlphins int fishing fr them.
They have been training dlphins ver a century.
They harvest mre fish with dlphins’ help.
They thrw the fishing nets when dlphins are n the tp f water.
What des Maurici Cantr’s research shw?
Nature supprts human beings at n cst.
Fishers benefiting frm cperatin with cetaceans is cmmn.
Human-wildlife interactin is a new glbal trend.
Dlphins wrking with man have higher survival rate.
What des the underlined wrd “allies” refer t in paragraph 5?
A. partnersB. preysC. dlphinsD. researchers
35 What’s the authr’s main purpse in writing the text?
T call n the prtectin f sea creatures.
T supprt develpment in fishing research.
T shw a unique human-dlphin relatinship.
T encurage fishers t better draw n dlphins.

Finally, they had a quarrel with each ther fllwed by weeks f silence. N ne was willing t be the first t accept mistakes r frgive each ther.
One mrning there was a knck n Jhn’s dr. He pened it t find a man with a carpenter’s tlbx. “I’m a carpenter(木匠), and I am gd at making chairs, tables, and even bridges. Nw I’m lking fr a few days’ wrk,” the man said. “Perhaps yu wuld have sme small prjects and I culd help. Culd I help yu?”
“Yes,” said Jhn. “I d have a jb fr yu. Lk acrss the river at that farm. That’s my neighbr. In fact, it’s my yunger brther! There was a piece f grassland between us.

I want yu t build a fence, an eight-ft-lng fence, s I wn’t need t see his place r his face anymre.”
The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situatin. Shw me the materials and I’ll be able t d a jb that pleases yu.”
