As an artist wrking at Cambridge University Btanic Garden, I am leading a special 14-mnth prject called DYE. My missin is t discver plant-based dyes (染料) and share them with visitrs, researchers and artists thrugh events, perfrmances, a clur database and prjects linked t the Garden’s plant cllectins.
There are sme 8,000 plant species in the Garden. Guided by medieval recipes, I experiment with berries, flwers, and bark ( 树皮) t uncver clurs hidden in nature. Fr example, I’ve transfrmed rses int vivid red dyes and turned Jade Vine int pink paint. One f
my prudest achievements is creating “Newtn’s Gld” — a glden-yellw ink made frm the bark f Isaac Newtn’s histric apple tree. I thught I’d end up with black but it’s a dark glden yellw — unlike mdern methds that chemically frce predictable results. These discveries remind me that nature hlds endless surprises, but they demand patience and respect.
My wrk isn’t just abut mixing clurs — it’s abut strytelling. Cllabratins with histrians and dancers cnnect my dyes t brader themes. I dyed feathers fr histrians t study
ancient cstumes and created fabrics reflecting nature’s cycles fr a dance perfrmance. By reviving frgtten techniques, such as a 15th-century ink recipe, I bridge the past and present,
shwing hw ancient methds can inspire sustainable slutins t tday’s envirnmental issues.
Nature’s clurs are ever-changing. The fading f dyes reveals the temprary beauty f natural materials, just as ecsystems’ delicate balance which demands prtectin. In the Btanic Garden, clurs frm plants and everyday materials teach me t accept change. These clurs aren’t just art supplies; they symblize nature’s strength and remind us t rethink ur relatinship with the envirnment.
Thrugh wrkshps and a clur database, I invite peple t view nature differently. My wrk is a return t the ld ways f making clur frm my garden herbs, establishing a deeper cnnectin between art and nature.
What des the authr d n the DYE prject?
Organize and guide garden turs.
Cllect and classify plant species.
Design and run a database f artwrks.
Develp and spread plant-based dyes.
Why is “Newtn’s Gld” ink significant?
It hnrs Newtn’s great cntributins.
It shws nature’s unpredictable ptentials.
It links apple trees t scientific inspiratins.
It expses limitatins f mdern ink prductin.
What des the underlined wrd “reviving” mean in paragraph 3? A．Bringing back.B．Putting away.
C．Searching fr.D．Reflecting n.
What is the ultimate gal f the DYE prject?
T imprve natural dye stability.
T prtect nature’s eclgical balance.
T strengthen sustainable art-nature bnds.
T bridge nature and art thrugh gardening.

When Snja Detrinidad pened her nline shp selling huseplants, she didn’t have high hpes fr it. But the ppsite happened: She was flded, shipping ut 1,200 rders in June f 2020 alne. In the past year, Detrinidad sent ut mre than 70,000 plants. Her success is just ne example f increased time at hme leading t an explsin in the huseplant industry.
“Plants are in fashin right nw,” says Dr. Melinda Knuth, a researcher frm the University f Flrida. “Peple wh live in plant-rich envirnments reprt a higher life satisfactin rating, ” she says. “Adding mre nature t ur envirnment can change ur md and hw we think.” Plants can imprve ur state f mind in a few ways but the biggest is by decreasing ur level f crtisl, the stress hrmne (激素) in ur bdy.
“Students wh are arund plants perfrm better academically than students wh are in a
classrm withut plants,” says Knuth. “This prductivity als translates int the wrkplace fr adults. Our study shwed that there was a 30% decrease in sick leave fr peple wh were in plant-rich wrkplaces.”
If yu’re amng the grups f peple wh are enjying the mental and physical health benefits f surrunding yurself with plants, dn’t beat yurself up if ne (r a few!) desn’t make it. “Dctrs practice medicine and lawyers practice law and yu shuld allw yurself the practice it takes t sustain a plant. Tending t plants is an exercise in patience and learning. Be invested in taking care f it, but if it dies, g get anther ne,” Detrinidad says.
Hw was Detrinidad’s business when it started?
It faced tugh cmpetitin.B．It suffered a great lss. C．It gt lts f financial supprt.D．It went surprisingly well.
What is ne f Knuth’s findings abut plants?

What des Detrinidad try t explain by mentining dctrs and lawyers?
The necessity f scial skills.B．The meaning f sustainability. C．The imprtance f repeated effrts. D．The value f prfessinal pinins.

We all have ur little daily rutines befre bed — sme f us unwind with a ht shwer, thers dive int a gd bk, and sme just scrll thrugh their phnes until they can’t keep their eyes pen. But what if the ne thing we’ve been ding every night is actually ruining ur chances f a restful sleep? A new study has uncvered a surprising mistake many f us make withut even realizing it, and it culd be the key t whether yu wake up feeling refreshed r nt.
Researchers frm the Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute fr Aging Research in the US recrded the results frm 50 peple aged 65 and ver fr a year and a half. Thrugh sleep mnitrs, they were able t see hw their surrundings, specifically temperature, impacted their quality f sleep. After analyzing 11,000 nights f sleep, it was cncluded that participants had the mst efficient sleep when the bedrm temperature was between 20 and 25℃ (68 and 77F). During this temperature range, its participants were at their least restless, with 20℃ (68F) averaging ut as the best temperature when studied against hurs slept.
Hwever, the mst restless sleep ccurred when temperatures increased t 30℃ when a five t 10 per cent drp in sleep efficiency was recrded. “Our bservatins pint t an exciting pprtunity t ptentially imprve sleep within the lder adult ppulatin by creating a mre cmfrtable hme envirnment,” researchers revealed.
It cmes after a separate study revealed the perfect amunt f sleep yu need each night, frm middle t ld age, in rder t help with cgnitive functin and mental health. The study lked at the sleeping habits f almst 500,000 adults frm the ages f 38 t 73 and discvered that seven hurs f sleep was the ptimal duratin needed fr peple within that age range. In the study, Cambridge University’s Department f Psychiatry Prfessr, Barbara Sahakian, explained: “Fr every hur that yu mved away frm seven hurs, yu gt wrse. It’s very clear that the prcesses that g n in ur brain during sleep are very imprtant fr maintaining ur physical and mental health.”
“Getting a gd night’s sleep, ”she added, was imprtant at all stages f life, but particularly as peple aged. “I think it is as imprtant as getting exercise.”
Why des the authr list these little daily rutines?
t advise us t have a ht shwer befre bed.
t warn us f nt being addicted t phnes.
t encurage us t read a gd bk fr ur health.
t remind us f thinking twice befre ding them next time
Hw culd peple aged ver 65 get the mst efficient sleep in this research?
ging t bed early and wake up early
setting the bedrm temperature 20°C
creating a cl and green hme envirnment
taking an active part in right exercises
What happened when the bedrm temperature reached 30°C?
Sleep efficiency imprved by 10%.B．Participants slept 5–10% lnger. C．Sleep efficiency drpped by 5–10%.D．N significant change was bserved.
What did Barbara Sahakian emphasize abut sleep duratin? A．Eight hurs is the perfect amunt f sleep fr all adults.
B．Failing t get seven hurs f sleep harms physical and mental health.
C．Older adults need mre sleep than yunger peple. D．Exercising replaces the need fr sufficient sleep.
