In 2010 physical therapist (治疗师) Mary Jesse vlunteered in Haiti after a deadly earthquake. At a hspital in Milt, she met a 2-year-ld by trapped under brken stnes fr five days. He had lst his family and suffered serius injuries. Ten mnths later, while mst survivrs had returned hme, the little kid remained. Nurses cared fr him lvingly, placing a sign by his bed: “D nt pick me up” t encurage him t walk n his wn.
Mary and her husband, Nathan, first hped t arrange medical treatment fr the by in the U. S., but as they bnded with him, their feelings grew deeper. They decided t adpt (收养) him. In 2013, the child — nw named Jamesly Jesse — jined their family in Mweaqua, Illinis, at age fur. He learned English, made friends, and grew well in his supprtive cmmunity.

Over 400 vlunteers — including teachers, dctrs, families, and children — came tgether t pack meals fr Haiti. The effrt became ne f the twn’s biggest yuth-led humanitarian (人道主义) prjects. The supplies prvided imprtant supprt t the struggling hspital.
Nw planning t study fd systems and hunger relief in cllege, Jamesly remains humble. He fcuses n helping thers, nt seeking praise. Frm an earthquake survivr t a cmmunity leader, his jurney brings hpe t many. “I have kids wh lk up t me,” he says. “And I knw they’ll make an impact, t.”

CO₂ cncentratins in the atmsphere keep rising, and the wrld’s ceans are flded with plastics, which puts marine(海洋的)envirnments and ecsystems at risk. The key glbal prblems are ften intercnnected, and typically, the slutin t ne prblem brings abut anther prblem while the clck keeps ticking. But what if we culd slve several prblems at the same time?
It’s almst t gd t be true, but a new cutting-edge inventin prmises t d just that. Researchers at the University f Cpenhagen have develped a methd, where ne man’s trash really des becme anther man’s “treasure”, when PET plastic that is brken dwn becmes the main ingredient in efficient CO₂ capture (捕获).
“The beauty f this methd is that we slve a prblem withut creating a new ne. By turning waste int a raw material that can actively reduce greenhuse gases we make an envirnmental issue part f the slutin t the climate crisis,” says Margarita Pderyte frm the Department f Chemistry at the University f Cpenhagen.
The slutin is a ptential win-win n a glbal scale, where plastic waste nt nly des nt end up in nature but als becmes an active player in climate imprvement. With the new chemical technlgy, researchers can transfrm PET plastic waste that is thught little f by recyclers int a primary resurce in a nw frm f CO₂ srbent(吸附剂)they have develped. The prcess “upcycles” it t a new material the researchers have named BAETA, which can absrb CO₂ ut f the atmsphere s efficiently that it easily cmpares with existing carbn capture technlgies.
The BAETA material features a pwder-like structure and a chemically “upgraded” surface, which enables it t very effectively cmbine and chemically capture CO₂. Once it reaches the maximum vlume, CO₂ can be released(释放)thrugh a heating prcess, allwing the CO₂ t be cncentrated, cllected and stred r changed int a sustainable resurce. Cmpared with existing technlgies, this prcess is relatively mild and highly suitable fr industrial-scale applicatins.
8. What can we knw abut the glbal envirnmental prblems?
A. Their slutins ften and in failure.
B. Ocean pllutin is the tughest ne t deal with.
C. They are rted in increasing CO₂ cncentratins.
D. They may create new challenges when ne is slved.
9. What des the authr think f the new methd?
A. It is based n existing technlgies.B. It badly needs further imprvement.
C. It sunds unrealistic but wrks well.D. It is nly fr industrial applicatins.
10. What des the text imply abut BAETA?
A. It can transfrm plastic waste int valuable materials.
B. It is mre efficient than existing CO₂ capture technlgies.
C. It allws the captured CO₂ t be released fr certain purpses.
D. It invlves a prcess t difficult fr industrial-scale applicatins.
11. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Mre Effrts t Reduce Plastic Waste.
B. Inventing New Materials fr Daily Use.
C. The Harm f CO₂ t Marine Ecsystems.
D. Turning Plastic Waste int Climate Savers.

Mst peple already knw that nature feels gd. But nw, science has put numbers behind that feeling. A new study shws that exercise in green surrundings — like parks, frests, r beaches — actually makes yur bdy and brain feel better than wrking ut indrs r in city streets.
In this study, researchers asked 25 yung men t walk quickly in three different places: a green natural area, a busy street thrugh the city, and indrs at a fitness center. The walking pace (速度) stayed the same acrss all three settings. But everything else was different. After each walk, scientists checked their stress hrmne (激素) levels, md, heart rate, and hw hard the walk felt. The differences were clear.
“The participants (参与者) felt significantly mre relaxed and had lwer levels f the stress hrmne after walking in nature. At the same time, they reprted greater jy and less tiredness,” said study c-authr Prfessr De Dminicis frm the University f Cpenhagen.
There’s a reasn why nature wrks s well. Humans were brn in nature and we have undergne mst f ur evlutin in it. Therefre, it is nt surprising that we feel gd when we are in it. Our brains still recgnize nature us a place f safety and peace. The nise and pace f city life can stress us ut withut us even nticing. Walls and man-made light just can’t cmpete with sunlight, trees, and fresh air.
This desn’t mean indr wrkuts are bad. Gyms and sprts teams ffer scial cnnectin and structure. But mixing in sme utdr time culd bring extra benefits.
“The mental and physical benefits seem t be significantly greater when exercising in nature, s peple can benefit greatly frm replacing just ne f their weekly indr wrkuts with 30 minutes f exercise in green surrundings,” said Prfessr De Dminicis. “We see great ptential in using nature as a driving frce fr physical activity — especially fr thse wh find it difficult t get started.”
12. What might be the purpse f the new study?
A. T persuade the public t exercise mre.
B. T prve the benefits f exercise in nature.
C. T test the safety f green surrundings.
D. T distinguish different types f exercises.
13. Which factr f the participants was cntrlled in the study?
A. Walking speed.B. Md state.
C. Hrmne levels.D. Heart rate.
14. Why des exercising in nature make peple feel better?
A. Humans are deeply rted in nature.
B. Peple can exercise at their wn pace.
C. The sund in nature makes humans relaxed.
D. It prvides mre scial cnnectin than gyms.
15. What might Prfessr De Dminici s supprt?
A. Fllwing a specific schedule strictly.
B. Exercising in nature fr half an hur a week.
C. Jining team sprts instead f running alne.
D. Replacing all indr exercise with nature wrkut.

Sumi is a single mther, whse daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23”. Every time the schl published exam results, Anna wuld always end up in the 23rd psitin amng 50 pupils. Always 23, n matter what tpic r term. Every time Sumi heard that mniker (绰号), she became cncerned.
Sumi ran a service firm planning small events — utdr shrt jurneys fr staff and their families r weekend parties. The discussin nearly always fcused n their children as mst f her staff were parents. Yu knw hw it ges — ne parent discussed their child’s pian hnrs while anther basted (夸耀) abut math Olympiads r leadership respnsibilities. Sumi wuld simply sit there, sftly ndding, feeling uncmfrtable. While thers were hnring these great yungsters, all she culd think abut was Anna and her mniker, Number 23.
One day, Sumi and Anna were invited t a nice get-tgether. The adults gathered arund a big rund table, and as the lunch came t an end, smene playfully asked the yungsters what they wanted t be when they grew up. One after anther, the children gave their bld, ambitius answers — t be a pianist, t be a famus actr, t start a business and make tns f mney. The adults clapped and praised each ne.
Anna didn’t answer. She was mre interested in quietly helping ut — bringing cups f sup, handing ckies arund. She was just in her wn little wrld, gladly helping.
Then the same persn wh raised the questin lked at Anna and added, “Hey, ur Anna hasn’t tld us yet. What d yu want t be when yu grw up?” Anna paused (停顿). Then she smiled and said, “I want t be a teacher. I lve little kids. I lve singing and playing with them.” And suddenly, the whle rm just…became quiet. It hit Sumi hard.
