As my 70th birthday apprached. I felt mtivated t d smething special. Smething persnal. Smething meaningful. I asked myself, “Hw can I fill my memry bank? Swim 70 laps? Make 70 charity dnatins? Mre than anything, I wanted t spend cherisned time with lved nes — withut preparing a guest list as well as planning and hsting a party during the hlidays, which was a particular burden fr me. Then I landed a plan. I wuld recrd 70 experiences ver the year with the peple I lve. Their jb: t prpse (提议). My jb: t say yes.
I sent emails t every single ne I knw, telling them my plan. My inbx quickly was filled with ffers. Cme pick berries n my farm. I’ll make yu pizza! Hw abut a theater trip t Lndn? Let’s drink high tea wearing hats and glves at a fancy htel. I’m taking yu t a mdern dance class.
As respnses multiplied, I felt gratitude fr my wnderful list f lngtime friends and fr the inspired menu being laid ut befre me. I created a jurnal t keep track f my ambitius undertaking. As ffers came in, I added them t the master list.
Despite distance, full schedules and plain ld rutines, I had a few new experiences each mnth. Thugh I did nt hang glide (滑翔), r eat insects - which were suggested — I hiked, picnicked, rde the ferry bat and train, drank steaming cups f cffee, attended literary events, rad-tripped t LA, and traveled verseas t stay with friends in Eurpe.
Having reached 70, I feel full, nt in a cake-and-ice-cream way, but filled with memries f a year well spent. My birthday prject cnfirmed fr me that what really matters is the excitement f my wn inner experience and that thugh the eras pass us by, the vices f the past live n. My year f fun helped me see that thugh I may slw dwn as I age, neither my brilliance nr my friendships have darkened. I wn’t stp dancing until the flr drps ut frm under me.

Abandned electrnics are piling up fast. Sme e-waste is relatively large — ld phnes and air cnditiners, fr instance. Other e-waste is nt s nticeable, such as envirnment sensrs, smart labels that cntain batteries and ther equipment. It’s these small batteries that are big prblems. Nbdy really pays attentin t where they end up.
Sme researchers frm Switzerland are wrking t address this prblem. Their new study in Scientific Reprts describes a water-activated paper battery develped frm envirnmentally friendly materials that culd eventually present a sustainable alternative t the mre harmful batteries cmmn in lw-pwer devices.
The paper battery has the same key cmpnents as standard batteries but packages them differently. Sustainable materials were an essential requirement fr the researchers, wh cnsidered nly harmless and sufficient cmpnents t create their device. “We were fairly cnfident we wuld have smething that wuld wrk in the end, but develping these materials and systems is highly cmplicated,” says Gustav Nyström, head f the researchers, wh tried hundreds f frmulatins (配方) fr the battery cmpnents befre their final success.
When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Add just a cuple f drps f water, hwever, the battery activates within 20 secnds. The new battery’s perating perfrmance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained functinality and lasted an hur befre beginning t dry ut again.
Althugh the researchers demnstrated that their battery culd pwer an alarm clck, dispsable paper batteries are unlikely t replace standard batteries n stre shelves. Hwever, Nyström predicts a future where these batteries are widely used. He says he is in cntact with ptential industry partners and believes these batteries culd make their way int prducts within the next tw t five years.
8．What can we learn abut the paper battery researching prcess?
A．It was full f challenges.B．It differed frm a standard ne.
C．It needed lts f imprvements.D．It built peple’s faith in researchers.
9．What happens t the paper battery when it is dry?
A．It begins t functin sn.B．It usually lasts an hur.
C．It reaches it maximum effect.D．It decreases in efficiency.
10．What des Nyström think f their inventin?
A．It has been widely used.
B．It will raise uncertainties.
C．Its future lks prmising.
D．Its prductin is n the rise.
11．What is a suitable title fr the text?
A．E-waste Prblem SlvedB．Sustainable Battery Invented
C．Abandned Electrnics RecycledD．New Materials Fund fr New Battery
The lack f smething we cnsider vital, such as time r fd, can pwerfully shape ur thinking and behavir. Take mney, fr example, when peple play a game that makes sme players suddenly wealthier r prer, thse wh lse mney start making decisins that result in their being better ff nw but wrse ff later. One ptential explanatin fr this tendency is that shrtage f smething is mentally challenging. Nt having enugh f what we need becmes a distractin that makes it harder fr us t fcus and plan.
In recent wrk, hwever, we fund that peple react t water shrtage very differently than they d t ther shrtages. Peple in places in shrt f water think mre abut the lng term. Wrrying abut water shrtage led t better planning and less wasteful behavir - nt nly with water but with ther resurces, t.
In ne experiment, we brught 211 cllege students t the lab and asked sme f them t read an article that predicted the wrst “water shrtage in 1,200 years.” Others read a mre upbeat article abut hw climate change means mre rain and therefre enugh water. The rest f the students cmpleted the study withut reading an article.
We then asked the students hw imprtant it was t save resurces and think abut the lng term. Participants wh read abut a serius shrtage agreed mre with statements like “Peple shuld live fr the future” and “There are things I resist buying tday s I can save fr tmrrw.” Participants reading the ther article were pushed in the ppsite directin. They were mre likely t supprt living fr the present and cared less abut saving mney and ther resurces when cmpared with thse wh didn’t read abut climate change.
Our wrk suggests that as many places dry up, glbal warming culd reshape hw peple think, pushing entire cmmunities tward mre cautius, future-riented behavir. That may ffer a ray f hpe amid the threat f climate change. Water shrtage culd be uniquely pwerful mtivatin fr us t prepare fr and respnd t a warmer wrld.
12．Why des the authr use mney as an example?
A．T pint ut its shrtage.
B．T explain its rle in games.
C．T prve its imprtance t peple.
D．T stress its impact n decisin-making.
13．What des the authr intend t d in paragraph 2?
A．Give backgrund infrmatin.
B．Cmpare tw different pinins.
C．Prvide findings f their research.
D．Explain different peple’s behavirs
14．What des the underlined wrd “upbeat” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A．Psitive.B．Interesting.C．Thughtful.D．Influential.
15．What implicatin des the authr think their study has?
A．We shuld save mney fr ur future.
B．Water shrtage may stimulate actins.
C．We shuld prepare fr climate change.
D．Glbal warming benefits us in sme ways.
Almst ne-third f adults aged 65 and lder have never used the Internet, and half dn’t have Internet access at hme. Of thse wh d use the Internet, nearly half need smene else’s help t set up a new digital device.
16 If we d nt prvide technlgy access and training t lder adults, we shut them ut frm sciety, wrsening the lneliness amng the elderly, which has been assciated with depressin, functinal decline, and death. Technlgy can serve as an imprtant tl t help reduce these risks, but nly if we prvide lder adults with the skills they need t access ur digital wrld.
There is cncern abut digital technlgy use increasing islatin (孤立) amng yunger ppulatins. 17 This is especially true fr thse wh live far away frm family r have lst the lved nes they relied n fr scial supprt in their yunger years. Elders can use nline tls t cnnect with friends and family even if they can n lnger physically visit them.
We need prgrams t imprve lder adults’ use f technlgy and cnfidence in key digital skills. 18 They als need t have tech supprt call lines tailred t lder adults less familiar with the Internet.
T be sure, many lder adults express a lack f interest in technlgy. 19 Apprpriate training can help t vercme these fears and generate interest.
With greater investment in prviding accessible devices and digital training, technlgy has the ptential t becme a pwerful tl fr reducing lneliness amng lder adults, empwering them t cnnect, create, and cntribute nline. 20
A．This prbably results frm a fear f it.
B．Technlgy is surely significant t the sciety.
C．As ne elder put it, “It’s time t catch up and jin the wrld.”
D．Hwever, it’s nt certain that this islatin will appear r nt.
E．Technlgy cmpanies shuld design devices specifically fr elders.
F．Hwever, the cnnectin that is pssible nline can be valuable fr lder adults.
G．Mastering digital technlgy is a key aspect f senir citizens’ participatin in sciety.
