Mr Darcy is handsme, smuldering and rich. Accrding t the 1995 televisin adaptatin f "Pride and Prejudice", he is als an excellent swimmer. But in Austen's next nvel, "Mansfield Park", she intrduces a man in pssessin f even mre mney: Mr Rushwrth. He is a cld, a "king", wh appears "best in the 41 ______". But he is blessed with an estate spanning 700 acres (nt 42 ______ the water meadws), ne f the best huses n Lndn's Wimple Street and £12,000 a year t Darcy's mere £10,000.
It is fun t cmpare characters' frtunes acrss nvels. Ding s reveals "fiscal twins", as Marilyn Francus f West Virginia University calls them. Fr example, Mr Bennet's incme in "Pride and Prejudice" (£2,000) is as large as Clnel Brandn's in "Sense and Sensibility". 43 ______, then, that Mr Bennet has dne s little t 44 ______ his daughters' futures. In "Nrthanger Abbey" James Mrland can ffer Isabella Thrpe nly £400 a year. If she had 45 ______ fr that, she wuld have been the fiscal twin f Mrs Price, the prest sister in "Mansfield Park", wh lived a life f clatter and chas n what is reckned t be a similar amunt.
The prblem with these cmparisns, hwever, is that the pund's purchasing pwer was nt 46 ______ in the years between Austen nvels. Harvest failures and recurring wars with France cntributed t rapid inflatin. 47 ______, the dembilisatin f sldiers in brief interludes f peace caused unemplyment and deflatin.
Austen was aware f the prblem. While revising "Sense and Sensibility" in 1811, she nted that "the incmes remain as they were, but I will get them 48 ______ if I can." It can make a big difference whether her numbers reflect the characters' times r the year f publicatin. Sme schlars, fr example, argue that "Pride and Prejudice" is set arund 1793 - 4 when militias were mbilised t prtect Britain frm pssible invasin by France ("a whle campful f sldiers" thrills Lydia, the yungest and mst feckless Bennet sister).
"Mansfield Park", n the ther hand, is believed t start in 1808 r 1812. Between 1793 and 1808, the cst f living rse by ver half, accrding t Charles Feinstein, an ecnmic histrian. That means the £12,000 flwing t Mr Rushwrth in "Mansfield Park" did nt 49 ______ as far
as the punds accruing t Mr Darcy rughly 15 years earlier. Indeed, Mr Rushwrth's frtune was wrth less than £7,900 at the prices prevailing in 1793. By that lgic, he is nt in fact the richest f Austen's characters. Mr Darcy is a better 50 ______.

Thusands f kilmetres f creepy catacmbs under the city f Odessa, Ukraine; derelict strips f brambles alng railway lines in Amsterdam in the Netherlands; stacks f dead leaves piled arund street - side trees in Baltimre, Maryland; vacant lts in inner - city Beijing; slimy greenish - grey films in a Parisian gutter; a lawn f astrturf in frnt f a Melburne ffice building...
City dwellers pass places like these n a daily basis - and lk away in disgust r 51 ______. When talking abut urban nature, such unsightly spts aren't what cmes t mind - we think instead f pleasant city parks r grandise urban 52 ______ prjects. And yet, real ecsystems are everywhere in the city, frm the gutters t the rftps and right under ur feet. They are uniquely urban, with a yet - uncharted natural histry, begging t be studied by a new band f cmmunity scientists.
Cities are where all 53 ______ f human envirnmental effects calesce. Pllutin frm chemicals, plastic waste, nise and artificial light; rads and radkill; the urban heat island; impervius surfaces made f cncrete, glass, and brick; trade that brings in extic species - all cnspire t create urban landscapes that are, 54 ______, cmpletely different frm natural habitats.
But all these nvel urban envirnments are real bitpes in their wn right, 55 ______ as exciting as rainfrests, muntaintps and ceanic islands, with unprecedented eclgical cmmunities bilgists are nly just starting t uncver.
Algae and micrrganisms in street gutters are unique mixes f species 56 ______ f heat and pllutin. In the sewers and catacmbs under cities live invertebrates(无脊椎动物) similar t cave rganisms. Frgtten, islated patches f inner - city vegetatin may hide species driven t extinctin elsewhere. And artificial lawns turn ut t be ideal places fr wildflwer seedlings t sprut and live tgether.
There is als brand - new animal behaviur t be bserved.
In Japan, carrin crws use traffic t 57 ______ walnuts n pedestrian crssings. In the Netherlands, lesser black - backed gulls 58 ______ invasive crayfish n ht tin rfs. Sulfur - crested cckats in Sydney have figured ut hw t pen garbage bins.
And there is real, rapid evlutin, frm city snails evlving paler shells in which their bdies stay cler - thus resisting the urban heat island - t lizards that evlve feet with better grip n slippery human - made surfaces.
Even cmpletely new species can be fund in cities. In Salt Lake City, Utah, incessant gardening created a new bitpe fr a previusly unknwn ant species. And in the catacmbs f Odessa, urban spelunkers discvered a new species f undergrund shrimp.
The city is thus the next frntier fr bilgical explratin. It is a cmpletely new ecsystem, rapidly expanding all ver the wrld, and created by the actins f a single species,
Hm sapiens, a bilgical phenmenn unprecedented in the histry f life n Earth. And city dwellers are watching it all happen.
The time is right: the 59 ______ science revlutin has made scientific 60 ______, sftware and data accessible t all. Universities ffer MOOCs fr anyne t btain academic - level bilgy and eclgy training. Cmmunity labs and nature clubs give their members access t kitchen - cunter DNA kits and micrscpes.
Everything is in place fr cmmunity scientists t discver the new, unstudied bilgical phenmena all arund them in the cities where they live. It may be a way ut fr all thse urbanites wh feel they have becme discnnected frm nature. By pening their eyes t the uncharted habitats in their wn street, living in the city can becme a delight again.

An understandable ethics utcry greeted the June annuncement f a sftware platfrm that ffers aspiring parents “genetic ptimizatin” f their embrys (胚胎). 61 by Nucleus Genmics’ CEO Kian Sadeghi, the $5,999 service, named “Nucleus Embry,” prmised ptimizatin f traits like disease and cancer resistance, as well as intelligence, lngevity, baldness, eye clr, and left - handedness. It als prmised t 62 what makes smene an alchlic.
That left sme cmmentatrs feeling “nauseus.” Critics 63 that it “treats children as marketable gds.” As prfessinal biethicists, we wuld have thse same cncerns—if Nucleus Embry actually did what it claims. But it desn’t. Sadeghi’s Nucleus Embry starts frm existing technlgy, and uses that reliable fundatin t then 64 the realm f fantastic claims that may persuade venture capitalists and wealthy but naive custmers but dn’t hld up t scrutiny when yu start seriusly pking arund.
Parents have lng used preimplantatin genetic diagnsis (PGD) t avid serius hereditary diseases r majr chrmsmal (染色体的) prblems. PGD is very expensive, and there are legitimate ethical cncerns abut wh is able t 65 the technlgy and wh is nt. But there is little mral cncern when parents use the technlgy t prevent passing n a serius disease. Nw, sme parents want mre than health—they seek traits like intelligence, slimness, r lngevity. Nucleus Embry claims t screen hundreds f traits in up t 20 embrys fr “genetic ptimizatin.”
66 , there are n majr genetic markers fr many cancers r a truly definitive set fr heart disease, let alne fr intelligence, acne, r lngevity. Geneticists have knwn this fr decades. Granted, there are hundreds f lcatins acrss the human genme where genetic variants have ever - s - slight psitive r negative 67 with thse traits, and infrmatin abut what’s at each f thse lcatins can be cmbined int ne big measurement called a “plygenic risk scre,” which many geneticists use fr research purpses. But the clinical value f plygenic risk scres fr even straightfrward medical cnditins like strke remains highly dubius. Mst f the research s far has been dne almst 68 n peple with Western Eurpean ancestry, s there’s little guarantee that the predictins wrk fr peple with family trees
that trace t different parts f the glbe.
Even if Nucleus Embry really let yu ptimize yur ptential child's intelligence r steer clear f the dreaded left - handedness, then there wuld be sme deep ethical questins t ask abut designer babies, the 69 f eugenics (优生学) and the marketizatin f children. But yu can rest 70 . There's n danger f the genetically perfect ruling ver the imperfect. The real danger is that a bunch f wealthy parents - t - be wh are t eager t cntrl their children's bilgical future will spend $5,999 fr a prduct that ffers n such cntrl, pssibly aviding perfectly healthy embrys ut f fear they aren't "ptimized enugh."

On September 10, 2025, NASA revealed what may be the mst cmpelling evidence f past Martian life t date. The Perseverance rver discvered a rck nicknamed "Cheyava Falls" while explring a(n) 71 riverbed that nce flwed int a lake billins f years ag. This specific sample is significant because it has unique physical markings that scientists have 72 t explain thrugh nn - bilgical prcesses alne.
The mst striking features f the rck are its "pppy seeds" and "lepard spts." These are tiny dark dts and larger light - clred spltches surrunded by dark rims. On Earth, these types f 73 are frequently created by micrbial activity in sedimentary rcks. Lng befre Perseverance even launched, researchers predicted that if life had ever existed n the Red Planet, it might leave behind 74 these kinds f distinct, easily 75 chemical signatures in the Martian terrain.
The presence f these spts likely pints t a prcess f bilgical 76 . T survive, micrbes can harvest energy by transferring electrns frm rganic cmpunds t minerals like irn. In Cheyava Falls, the dark rims and "pppy seeds" are 77 vivianite, a mineral that frms when irn receives these electrns. Furthermre, the pale centers f the spts cntain greigite, suggesting that after exhausting the available irn, micrbes may have switched t cnsuming sulfate. This lgical chain f tw different energy - harvesting reactins strngly 78 hw micrbial clnies perate in similar envirnments n ur wn planet.
79 NASA has cnsidered nn - bilgical explanatins, such as vlcanic activity r high - temperature chemical reactins, nne f them perfectly fit the evidence. Fr instance, the specific reactins needed t create these minerals withut life typically require temperatures exceeding 150°C, yet there is n evidence the rck was ever that ht. Additinally, minerals 80 by grundwater r nearby vlcanes wuld likely result in messy spltches rather than the 81 spts bserved by the rver's high - reslutin cameras.
Despite this excitement, scientists remain 82 because a definitive "slam dunk" requires mre advanced tls than a rver can carry. The final answer 83 the Mars Sample Return missin, a jint prject between NASA and the Eurpean Space Agency designed t bring these specific tubes back t Earth. Althugh budget 84 place the timeline in dubt, Cheyava Falls remains the mst " 85 " prize in the histry f space explratin.

( A )
Dr. Jane Gdall tells her changemaker stry
Mst peple ask when my lve f nature began. I find the questin difficult t answer, because fr as lng as I can remember, nature has simply been part f wh I am. As a child, I spent hurs bserving animals, quietly watching birds until they n lnger feared my presence. I was frtunate t grw up with a supprtive mther, access t bks, and cnstant cntact with the natural wrld.
Bks first intrduced me t Africa. By the age f ten, I annunced that I wuld ne day live amng wild animals there and write abut them. At the time, this ambitin seemed absurd. Scientific careers were nt cnsidered apprpriate fr girls, and field studies f animals in the wild were almst unheard f. The idea was dismissed as unrealistic, dangerus, and financially impssible. Yet my mther ffered me simple advice: if I truly wanted smething, I wuld have t wrk extrardinarily hard, seize every pprtunity, and refuse t give up.
I fllwed that advice. Althugh I perfrmed well at schl, my family culd nt affrd university, s I tk a secretarial curse and wrked in Lndn. Years later, that practical training prved unexpectedly useful. When a friend invited me t Kenya, I saved enugh mney t g, wrking varius jbs alng the way. There, by a strke f chance, I met the palentlgist Luis Leakey, wh was seeking a new secretary. My preparatin, persistence, and lng - standing passin fr African wildlife earned me nt nly the psitin, but an pprtunity t study chimpanzees in
the wild.
The wrk was far frm easy. In the early mnths, the chimpanzees fled at the sight f me. Then ne individual, later named David Graybeard, gradually lst his fear. Thrugh him, I witnessed smething that challenged established scientific beliefs: he used mdified grass stems as tls. At the time, tl - making was cnsidered a uniquely human trait. This bservatin drew internatinal attentin and allwed further research t cntinue.
As I came t knw the chimpanzees as individuals, I was struck by the similarities between their behavir and ur wn—Kissing, embracing, hlding hands, swaggering, males cmpeting fr dminance. Gd mthers and bad mthers. They're capable f vilence and brutality, but als lve and altruism.
After tw years, Dr. Leakey said he'd gt me a place in Cambridge University, and it was at Cambridge that my first real task f making change happened. T my hrrr and dismay, scientists there tld me I'd dne everything wrng. I shuldn't have given the chimpanzees names; they shuld have had numbers. I culdn't talk abut their persnalities r minds r emtins because thse were unique t us. But grwing up, I'd been taught by my dg, Rusty, that animals had persnalities, minds and emtins. My mther taught me if yu think differently than smene, first listen because maybe they knw things yu dn't. If yu still believe yu are righter than they are, have the curage f yur cnvictins.
I std up fr my belief that animals had persnalities, minds and emtins. And because f the evidence that chimpanzees are s like us bilgically — we share 98.6% f their DNA — and the material I wrte abut their behavir, the scientists simply had t mve away frm the reductinist way f thinking that we humans are the nly sentient beings.

Shuld Teenagers Be Banned frm Scial Media?
Debates ver restricting teenagers’ access t scial media ften begin with an apparent cntradictin. On the ne hand, yung peple pssess free - speech rights, and scial media has becme the mst visible arena fr public expressin. On the ther, there is grwing cnsensus that scial media causes real harm, particularly t children. The unreslved questin, then, is nt whether scial media is damaging, but hw far a sciety cmmitted t free expressin shuld g in limiting access t it in the name f prtectin.
Earlier attempts t reslve this tensin, such as Utah’s prpsed age - verificatin law, revealed the difficulty f translating parental cncern int plicy withut verreaching. Requiring gvernment identificatin t access scial platfrms risked excluding nt nly minrs but als adults lacking fficial dcuments, effectively narrwing participatin in the digital public square. Civil - libertarian bjectins framed such measures as unacceptable intrusins n free expressin, and fr a time, that argument appeared decisive.
Australia’s recent Online Safety Amendment Act represents a mre frceful interventin. T participate in digital life, Australian citizens may nw have t submit a fairly nerus series f age verificatins. By effectively banning children under sixteen frm majr scial - media platfrms and impsing staggering fines n nncmpliant cmpanies, the law shifts respnsibility frm families t the state. Yet public reactin t the law reveals a paradx. Althugh a large majrity f adults supprt the ban, many dubt its effectiveness, and even fewer parents intend t enfrce it strictly at hme. Early reprts suggest that children are already finding ways t circumvent age - verificatin systems, highlighting the limits f technlgical enfrcement.
What seems mst likely is nt ttal cmpliance but a partial cultural shift. The law may functin less as an airtight prhibitin than as a signal f changing nrms. We are currently witnessing a “plitics f attentin” where sciety can n lnger remain neutral n what it means t live a digital life well. Increasingly, technlgy is seen as a pwerful frce that shapes attentin, behavir, and values, ften misaligned with human well - being. This develpment is als reflected in what might be called a “quiet revlutin” — nt simply a change in plicy, but a deeper mral realignment. This quiet revlutin is already visible in schl districts acrss the U.S. that have banned smartphnes frm classrms. The grwing suspicin tward smartphnes and
scial platfrms thus signals the emergence f a new natinal mrality, ne that questins whether cnstant cnnectivity truly serves a gd life.
Crucially, this mral shift is nt limited t cncerns abut children. Anxiety ver teenagers’ phne use masks a brader unease with adult lives that have becme fragmented, relentlessly scheduled, and dminated by digital demands. A truly flurishing digital life requires a shift in nrms fr adults as well as children. If sciety cannt mve away frm private technlgy cmpanies that incentivize cheap engagement, any rules dictated fr the next generatin will remain cmprmised. The challenge lies in rediscvering what t d with ur newfund, ffline time.
93. Accrding t the passage, what was a majr cncern regarding Utah’s prpsed age - verificatin law?
A. It wuld have failed t reduce teenagers’ use f scial media in practice.
B. It risked restricting access t nline expressin fr adults as well as minrs.
C. It placed excessive financial pressure n scial - media cmpanies.
D. It cnflicted with parental authrity by transferring decisin - making pwer t the state.
94. What paradx surrunding Australia’s Online Safety Amendment Act des the authr highlight?
A. The law enjys plitical supprt but faces ppsitin frm technlgy cmpanies.
B. Public apprval f the law exists alngside dubts abut its real - wrld enfrcement.
C. Parents supprt the law in principle but find it hard t enfrce it at hme.
D. The law’s strict design cntrasts with the ease f bypassing them by minrs.
95. Which f the fllwing best explains what the authr means by the “quiet revlutin” in the furth paragraph?
A. A gradual tightening f gvernment regulatins that aims t strictly cntrl teenagers’ access t digital technlgy.
B. A temprary reactin t smartphne veruse that will fade with the adaptatin t new digital nrms.
C. A public backlash driven mainly by schls and parents against the ecnmic pwer f tech cmpanies.
D. A widespread shift in scial values that redefines hw technlgy shuld be used in everyday life.
96. What psitin is the authr mst likely t take n current effrts t restrict teenagers’ access t scial media?
A. They are meaningful mainly as part f a brader shift in scial nrms, especially when accmpanied by changes in adult behavir.
B. They functin primarily as plicy instruments intended t weaken the cmmercial dminance f technlgy cmpanies ver public attentin.
C. They largely reflect shrt - term public cncern and mral unease, with limited ptential t reshape lng - term scial values.
D. They are best understd as measures that shuld rely mre n parental guidance and husehld rules than n institutinal interventin.

Talking t Chatbts: What Teens Shuld Knw
Hw ften d yu talk t a chatbt like ChatGPT? A few times a week? Every day? Surveys suggest that mre than 70% f American teenagers have interacted with ne. These tls can feel like friendly listeners—always available, never impatient. Yet chatbts were nt designed specifically fr yung peple, and their risks are ften misunderstd.
Public attentin is usually drawn t extreme tragedies. In 2025, a teenager named Adam Raine died by suicide, and his family claimed that his cnversatins with a chatbt cntributed t the crisis. Such cases are shcking, but experts cautin against fcusing nly n the mst dramatic utcmes. 97. __________
One illustratin cmes frm Amanda Guinzburg, a prfessinal writer wh nce asked ChatGPT t help plish a letter and assess samples f her wrk. The chatbt respnded with enthusiastic praise, but smething felt ff. When Guinzburg pressed the bt, it admitted that it had nt actually read her essays. Frm this experience, Guinzburg realized that chatbts are ften designed less t prvide accurate help than t keep users engaged and satisfied.
98. __________ S here are a few things t keep in mind when yu talk t any AI - pwered tl.
First, remember that yur vice matters. Chatbts may sund thughtful r empathetic, but this impressin is an illusin. They d nt have emtins, lived experience, r real understanding. Instead, they predict language based n patterns in massive amunts f text. 99. __________ Hwever, as English teacher Brett Vgelsinger explains, students shuld see chatbts as tls fr learning techniques—nt as standards they must cmpete with. Original human expressin, even when imperfect, still matters mre.
Secnd, turn t real peple fr imprtant advice. Chatbts d nt judge and are always available, which makes them appealing. Sme studies even suggest they can reduce lneliness. 100. __________ Research has shwn that they prvide inapprpriate mental - health supprt in abut ne - fifth f crisis - related cases.
Third, be cautius f flattery. Chatbts are trained t agree and encurage, because peple tend t prefer supprtive respnses. While encuragement can bst cnfidence, cnstant affirmatin may prevent users frm recgnizing mistakes and learning frm them.
Chatbts can be useful and fun, but they shuld be treated with cautin. As ne expert advises, enjy them as tls r tys—but never stp thinking fr yurself.
