After taking an intrductry curse in glbal health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president f Stanfrd SupplyHer, was empwered t take actin against malaria —a disease that has been claiming hundreds f thusands f lives every year fr centuries.
Stanfrd SupplyHer, a student grup supprting wmen’s health thrugh art, hsted an event in partnership with United t Beat Malaria (UBM) t encurage funding fr malaria preventin, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Mnday. “Knwing that malaria is especially dangerus t pregnant individuals and children makes advcacy fr malaria funding and research essential fr ur missin,” said Bista.
“We in the U. S. need t be aware f the impact f glbal warming n malaria because less develped cuntries in ther parts f the wrld are mre heavily affected by ur emissins,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first lcal utbreaks f malaria since 2003. Infectius disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and ther diseases carried by msquites t areas that were nce free f malaria.
This summer, after discvering the wrk f UBM, a glbal grassrts campaign f the UN Fundatin, Bista met with her cngressinal (国会的) representatives t advcate fr malaria treatment and research. T supprt cntinued funding fr glbal malaria prgrams, Bista wrte t fficials in Cngress. “It’s easy fr peple t feel like they are pwerless with issues as big as malaria. But any persn can give input t their decisin makers n issues as big as these,” wrte Macgan Crss, a senir advcate at UBM. “By sending messages t yur elected fficials in supprt f glbal health funding, yu are making sure yur vice is heard.”
Bista encuraged students t becme invlved in initiatives n campus t spread awareness f malaria and ther glbal health issues. “Glbal health is imprtant t me because there are s many health inequities (不平等) arund the wrld and health itself is imprtant t live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are s many health inequities arund the wrld, I want t raise awareness and help peple live fulfilling lives.”

After Taylr Swift, the “Mna Lisa” is prbably the mst recgnizable female face in the wrld. Every day arund 20,000 peple stare at the Lenard da Vinci’s painting in the Luvre. Yet it became famus nt because f a tempting semi-smile. Until a wrker stle the masterpiece in 1911, it was still mstly unknwn; viewers flded in t see what a French newspaper called “an enrmus, hrrific, gaping vid (空白)”.
Classics f art, literature and music are suppsed t carry sme mysterius appeal that endures acrss the ages. But as Rchelle Gurstein, a histrian, writes in a new bk, the “timeless classic” is anything but. “What I believed was written in stne was actually written in water”, she argues. Classics cme and g.
Take ther celebrated wrks f art. Until the end f the 19th century Michelangel’ s “David” had nly his fig leaf t prtect him frm the weather in Piazza della Signria in Flrence. He attracted mre pigens than visitrs; visitrs preferred the artist’s sculpture f Mses in Rme. Befre the famus “Venus de Mil” was discvered in 1820, viewers were crazy abut “Venus de Medici”, a delicate sculpture mst peple alive tday have never heard f.
Much as in art, the classics f music and literature have nt always been set in stne either. Tday, Jhann Sebastjan Bach is ften regarded as the master f classical music. But after his death in 1750, Bach’s cmpsitins fell ut f fashin until Felix Mendelsshn, a German cmpser, rediscvered them in the 1820s. Herman Melville’s masterpiece “Mby Dick” was largely frgtten until critics such as Raymnd Weaver, a prfessr at Clumbia University rescued him frm the depth f a nbdy arund the centenary f his birth in 1919.
“The status f classics” depends n critics and shws the pwer f passinate writers t change the way peple lk at art. Tastes evlve, and they shuld. But culture lives n nly as lng as peple cntinue t argue ver what cunts as a classic tday. The true enemy f the classic is nt relativism r awakening. It is silence.
20. What made the painting “Mna Lisa” famus?
A. The painter.B. The theft.C. The reprt.D. The semi-smile.
21. What des Rchelle think f classics?
A. Changeable.B. Fading.C. Enduring.D. Admirable.
22. Hw des the authr use the examples f Bach and “Mby Dick” t supprt the main argument?
A. T prve that true classics never lse their value ver time.
B. T suggest that nly music and literature can becme timeless.
C. T argue that mdern audiences have better taste than past nes.
D. T shw that frgtten wrks can regain fame thrugh critical reevaluatin.
23. What might ultimately discurage the develpment f classics?
A. The ignrance f culture.B. The curse f time.
C. The lack f criticism.D. The evlutin f tastes.

The Malagasy babab trees, a typical feature f Madagascar's landscape, shuld have disappeared lng ag due t the extinctin f its frmer seed-distributing animals. Hwever, it did nt. Sehen Andriantsaralaza at the University f Antananariv in Madagascar and Onja Razafindratsima at the University f Califrnia, Berkeley, nw think they may knw the reasn.
Tgether with their clleagues, the scientists mnitred 15 trees t find new babab seed-distributing animals in a western Madagascar regin. They als set up camera traps arund seed-cntaining fruits, and searched any feces (粪便) alng the way fr the presence f seeds.
They reprt in the jurnal Bitrpica that a native rat was caught n camera handling whle fruits n fur ccasins. Althugh there was n recrd f the rat breaking the fruits pen, the team fund 13fruits that had been chewed int and had their seeds remved. Thugh the bite marks were nt clear enugh t identify a culprit (肇事者), this was clear evidence that a seed-distributing animal was ut there. They then fund cnvincing evidence: babab seeds in seven different piles f bush-pig feces.
The discvery is nt withut irny (讽刺). Scientists believe bush pigs were brught t Madagascar by humans smetime between 1,000 and 5,000 years ag, just as the frmer seed-distributing animals were ging extinct. Their arrival was a lucky break fr the bababs, especially as scientists have determined a seed's jurney thrugh the pig-like digestive system desn't reduce its ability t grw.
While the finding is imprtant in its wn right, it als prvides valuable evidence that intrduced species may nt be entirely harmful. Madagascar's pigs, fr example, thugh nt native, have made themselves essential t the survival f truly native species. Similar relatinships are suspected t hld in Suth America between rabbits native t Eurpe and plants with n seed distributrs. Fr Dr.Andriantsaralaza, that suggests the full eclgical rle f intrduced species shuld be cnsidered befre talk f extinctin begins.
24. Why did researchers cnduct the study?
A. T explre hw babab trees survived.
B.T identify the seed carriers fr bababs.
C. T study hw animals distribute babab seeds.
D. T find ut if babab trees are endangered.
25. What cnvinced the researchers f the real seed carrier?
A. The seeds fund in animal feces.B. The presence f chewed seeds.
C. The way a rat handled the fruits.D. The marks n the babab fruits.
26. What is the authr's attitude tward humans intrducing new species?
A. Optimistic.B.Critical.C. Reflective.D. Neutral.
27. What is the authr's purpse in mentining rabbits?
A. T argue against intrducing new species.
B. T shw that rabbits benefit native species.
C. T suggest that intrduced species may help.
D. T highlight the imprtance f seed carriers.

Hwever, as I reached fr my car keys in my pcket, a sinking feeling washed ver me — I had lcked bth my keys and cell phne inside the vehicle. Frustratin surged thrugh my veins. Feeling extremely annyed, I culdn’t help but let ut a string f chice wrds, punctuated by a swift kick t the tire.

Withut hesitatin, the teenager extended his hand, ffering me his cell phne. “Here, yu can use mine t call yur wife,” he said, his yuthful vice brimming with sincerity.
I accepted his ffer gratefully, dialing my wife’s number and relaying the situatin t her. I culd sense her cncern n the ther end f the line, but she remained calm and asked fr my exact psitin.
“I’ll need t see if I can brrw any f ur neighburs’ cars.” “I’ve thught abut this plan, but mst f them must be in twn fr the carnival tday.” I sighed. But she just reassured me that she wuld find the extra key and find a way t get here as sn as pssible.
As I ended the call, I expressed my gratitude t the teenager, but a new wrry crept int my mind. “It’s a seven-mile trip fr my wife,” I said, “even if she culd brrw a car, she hasn’t driven fr lng and she’s pregnant.” The teenager asked, “Did yu just say yu live in the Medway street? My schl is nearby s I’m quite familiar with the rute. Just tell yur wife I’m cming t get the key.” “But that’s seven miles! It’ll take yu at least an hur rund trip.”

Filled with restless anticipatin, I saw him appraching. In his utstretched hand, he held the salvatin f my lcked car—the spare key.

With a nd f gratitude, I bid him farewell as he rde ff int the sunset. As I drve away in my newly unlcked car, I culdn’t help but reflect n the unexpected encunter. The memry f the selfless teenager’s seven-mile jurney wuld frever be engraved in my mind, serving as a reminder t always be ready t lend a hand t thse in need.
