“I’ve never picked the jbs I’ve dne in my life,” says Mark Sadler, wh spent 20 years wrking at the
Lndn undergrund. But when he retired, he became a lifeguard.
Three years ag, Sadler was giving bld when he felt chest pain. He says, “The dctr asked: ‘D yu drink?’
Yeah, prbably t much. ‘D yu smke?’ Yes. They culd see by my size that I ate t much.” Then Sadler
stpped smking and drinking.
“I’ve always had t earn as much as I can t prvide fr my family,” Sadler says. At the undergrund, he
lked after the engineering fleet (工程车队). He wrked 10-t 12-hur days, and ften returned t visit the tunnels
at night. “If I gt the call at 1, I’d be n the g at1: 15.”
He regards his wife and tw daughters as “always the mst imprtant thing in my life”, but while he wrked,
“they were wrapped in clingfilm (保鲜膜)”. He means he culd see them, but they were in a separate wrld. That’s
why Sadler made his daughters, by then adults, an ffer. “I tld them: ‘If yu have a child, I will becme a full-time
grandparent.’” Fr the past cuple f years, he has cmbined caring fr his granddaughter with lifeguarding very
well. Being a grandparent, he says, has shwn “hw much I missed” as a father.
Nw he is part f a cmmunity. “In my ld jb, I used t say t everyne: ‘Every day yu’re learning.’ I feel
that even mre nw that I’ve gt t 60. I’m ding smething that I chse. I can balance my jb with my wife and
family. It is everything I want.”

Humans are cnstantly lking fr better slutins t the prblems we face in ur daily lives. One new schl
f thught suggests that answers can be fund in nature. This idea is called “bimimicry.”
Bimimicry prpses that if ther rganisms have already fund a slutin t a prblem, we can cpy that
slutin instead f starting frm the beginning.
Bimimicry uses the vast develpment we’ve made in science and technlgy. Take, fr instance, the
challenge f keeping a building clean withut using txic (有毒的) chemicals. A team f German scientists lked
at a ltus (莲花) leaf under a micrscpe, and they discvered the surface f the leaf was cvered with muntains.
The tiny peaks stpped dirt particles (微粒) frm sticking t the leaves’ surface. They als made raindrps frm
int balls. As the drps rlled ff the leaf, they lifted the dirt and carried it away. They scientists develped a type
f paint based n the structure f the ltus leaf, which has a similar “muntainus” surface when it dries. When the
paint is used n the utside f buildings, rainwater washes the dirt away.
Anther imprtant idea in bimimicry is that humans shuld try t cpy the way that natural systems wrk.
Mst mdern kitchen cabinets are made with glue that cntains a txic chemical. A scientist named Dr. Kaichang
Li wanted t find a replacement glue that wuld wrk just as well withut that chemical. Walking n the beach ne
day, he nticed the answer was right in frnt f him. Mussels (贻贝) were everywhere, clinging t the rcks in the
water. After studying hw the mussels made their sticky threads, he created a nntxic glue.
8. What is the main characteristic f “bimimicry”?
A. It relies n reinventing slutins.
B It priritizes cpying ver innvatin.
第 5页/共 11页
C. It emphasizes the applicatin f advanced technlgy.
D. It encurages the use f traditinal methds in prblem-slving.
9. What is the similarity between the dried paint and ltus leaves accrding t paragraph 3?
A. They cllect water. B. They have a rugh surface.
C. They resist dirty raindrps. D. They cntain the same substance.
10. What might the authr cnvey thrugh the case f making a nntxic glue?
A. Prducts shuld be recycled and reused.
B. Waste prducts are a cncern in bimimicry.
C. Glue prductin is a significant envirnmental issue.
D. Studying the way natural systems wrk can help reduce pllutin.
11. What is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Nature des it better B. Learning frm nature
C. Shuld we put technlgy back int nature? D. Hw can bimimicry help redesign civilizatin?
D
Picture this: Yu’re hme alne, and it’s nearing dinnertime. Yu grab a bx f ckies frm the cupbard,
sme lives and baby carrts frm the fridge. Then yu eat right ff the kitchen cunter with yur fingers. All tld,
the meal takes five minutes, ne plate, and n utensils (餐具) . Yu, my friend, have just made yurself a “girl
dinner.”
What nce may have been a sheepish traditin has recently achieved viral fame n the internet thanks t
Olivia Maher, wh first cined the phenmenn in a TikTk. The trend has since amassed nearly ne billin views.
Where users have started sharing their wn creatins.
There are sme ptential benefits f this kind f meal. Fr ne, slightly smaller prtins (份额) befre bedtime
culd be a gd thing. “It’s really nutritinally better t eat a larger meal in the middle f the day and a lighter meal
at night,” says Kima Cargill, a psychlgy prfessr. “A lt f cultures will just eat, like leftvers, r sup and
bread r smething fr dinner, ” she says, “which frm a digestin viewpint, is a better. ”
Wmen ften assume caretaking rles in a husehld, n tp f all their ther daily life respnsibilities. “Girl
dinner encurages peple t listen t and fllw their heart. It can be a celebratin f freedm, if nly fr ne meal,
frm that dmestic labr, ” nutritinist Alissa Rumsey says.
The trend has als raised eyebrws fr what sme argue is a supprt fr lw-calrie snacks in small,
smetimes insubstantial prtins. “My biggest cncern with this is that many f these ‘girl dinners’ that we see n
第 6页/共 11页
scial media are nt enugh, which can bth prmte and nrmalize disrdered eating and under-eating, ” Rumsey
says.
Her advice: avid and unfllw any cntent creatrs that make yu feel shame. Even if a vide isn’t directly
abut weight lss, it’s hard nt t see a persn’s daily fd intake as guidelines n hw t lk like them. But what
wrks fr them may nt wrk fr yu.

A. A lw-effrt meal. B. A weight-lsing diet.
C. A time-hnred recipe. D. A mney-saving snack.
13. What aspect f the girl dinner is appreciated by Kima Cargill?

47. When Mm pened the dr, Dusty tre acrss the street, nt stpping t d her business as my mther

friend, Marianne, and her family lived — was n fire! All f Dusty’s middle-f-the-night craziness had served a
purpse: she’d been trying t call fr help.
My mther called the fire department immediately. Sn, the firemen in their trucks rared up the street, put ut the
fire, saved my best friend’s family frm harm and their huse frm ttal ruin. My mther refused t take credit. “It
was Dusty, ” I put my arms arund my dg’s neck and kissed her square n the tip f her wet nse. “Thank yu fr
saving Marianne, ” I whispered int Dusty’s black ear. “Yu’re the bravest dg I’ve ever knwn. ”
