Aurra Nikula,5, is having a nrmal day at her nursery. She is making a cake ut f sand and mud, adding in make-believe carrts, ptates and meat. Aki Sinkknen, a scientist,is watching. He's als very interested in Aurra's cake, but fr different reasns.“Perfect,” he says, admiring the way she is mixing sil, sand and leaves and then putting it n her face.“She's really getting her hands in it.”
T a hygiene-cnscius (注重卫生的) kindergarten, this culd be a prblem, but atHumpula daycare centre in Helsinki, children are encuraged t increase their cntact with the micrscpic (微生物的) bidiversity. This kindergarten was included in a tw-year study lking at hw bidiversity enhancements affect the micrbial cmpsitin f children's skin and saliva.
The staff dug up and installed a giant live carpet f frest flr. The plants, dead wd and sil in the daycare centre were specially selected fr their rich micr-bidiversity.Children grw carrts, ptates and cucumbers, harvesting and cking what they plant.When winter appraches, the crps fade —— but the utdr adventures d nt.
A year later, it fund that children wh were in cntact with nature had a lwer prbability f catching an illness resulting frm disrders in the immune system. The results supprt the“ld friends” hypthesis (假设) that humans evlved alngside micrbes in air, plants and sil. The bdy can exchange useful micrbes with the natural wrld t stay healthy.Withut cntact with these rganisms ——— thrugh sil, plants, and air ———— immune functin can becme veractive, leading t disease.
The kindergartens prvide evidence f just hw crucial healthy ecsystems are t human health. As bidiversity, habitats and wild species are lst arund the planet, there is huge ptential harm fr human wellbeing. Increasing. n site bidiversity can be a win-win fr children's health and the envirnment.
Based n that, the University f Sheffield has dne research n installing green barriers arund schl playgrunds t prevent air pllutin frm harming children's health.Hunter's Bar infant schl in Sheffield created a 70-metre-lng fence f plants that wraps arund the playgrund. Nitrgen dixide (NO₂). cncentratins in the playgrund were reduced by 13% six mnths after planting, and further decreases are expected as the fence matures.

Fancy letting a machine mediate (调解) yur argument? It culd be the latest applicatin fr AI. Scientists at Ggle's DeepMind prject designed what they call the HabermasMachine, a large language AI named after German philspher Jürgen Habermas.
The system wrks by taking written views f individuals within a grup and using them t generate a set f grup statements designed t be acceptable t all. Grup members can then rate these statements. The mst ppular statement is then returned t participants t assess. Next, the AI mediatin system generates revised statements, which participants again rate. The system then selects the winning statement.
The team used the system in a series f experiments invlving a ttal f mre than5,000 participants wh respnded t varius tpics. The researchers fund the initial grup statement frm the Habermas Machine was preferred by participants 56% f the time ver a grup statement prduced by human mediatrs.
Part f the mdel's success, researchers say, lies in its determinatin t give special weight t dissenting pinin. It was nt the case that participants always switched pinin t supprt the majrity view. Rather than siding with the majrity, it allwed minrity vices t feel heard.
The AI mediatin system“ffers a new apprach t cllective deliberatin (审议) that avids sme f the limitatins f in-persn deliberatin, including its cst, limited scale,the ptential fr mediatr bias.” the researchers cnclude. Hwever, the AI mediatin prcess may lack sme f the benefits f in-persn disussin, they write, such as“nnverbal clues and the pprtunit y t build interpersnal relatinships with ther discussants.”Machine seldm ffers participants the chance t explain their feelings.
In additin, the researchers nte that the AI mediatin system culd generate an ill-infrmed utput if asked t synthesize (合成) human pinins that are based n limited r biased infrmatin. Thus, the researchers cnclude that if their system is used in the real wrld, it shuld be“embedded in a larger deliberative prcess, including careful selectin f participants t ensure that a balanced and diverse cmmunity is represented in the debate.”
28. What is Habermas Machine aimed at?
A. Simplifying rating system.
B. Facilitating greater agreement.
C. Managing interpersnal cnflict.
D. Hnuring the German philspher.
29. What des the underlined wrd“dissenting” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Infrmed.B. Nvel.C. Differing.D. Decisive.
30. What may be the disadvantage f the AI-mediated discussins?
A. They lack shared cllective wisdm.
B. They raise participants’ pprtunity cst.
C. They fail t tap int participants’ ptential.
D. They rarely prmte empathy amng participants.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly abut?
A. Risks f AI mediatin.
B. Future AI develpments.
C. Tips n AI mediatin use.
D. Ethical cncerns abut AI.

A girl wh turns up t schl dressed head-t-te in pink will prbably pass unnticed.If a by des the same, he will inevitably face stares. Even the mst nn-traditinal parent wuld think twice abut expsing their sn t that.
Children start paying attentin t gender differences much earlier than sme parents realize, accrding t psychlgist Christia Brwn,“Sciety emphasizes that gender is imprtant really early in a kid's life,” she says.“We label it a lt in ur language ———— we use gender as nuns all the time. S we frequently say‘h; there’ s that girl’ r‘cme n bys, let’ s g get in the car.’” Research suggests children's recgnitin f gender is mre due t adults pinting it ut than any inbrn awareness f it.
Gendered tys credit certain types f skills and strengths t ne gender r the ther.S, when a child nly plays with tys marketed fr their gender, they learn a certain set f skills but d nt engage as much in ther types f learning. This can lead t imbalanced develpment in bys and girls as they grw lder.
The biggest cncern arund buying gendered tys is that they can impact hw children see themselves. Gendered representatin impses (强加于) sciety’ s ideas f what they shuld like and d instead f letting them chse fr themselves what their interests and hbbies are. This can have influence n what that child decides t study in schl and ultimately chse as a career.
Many retailers have made real prgress ver the last few years, drpping gender labels in stres and nline ———— a new research shws a 70% decrease in the use f nline gender navigatin ptins since 2012 ————— but there's still wrk t d t challenge the steretyped(老一套的). ways that tys are ften packaged and prmted.
Researchers hpe that ne day, tys will stp being brken up by gender and will instead be categrized by type, like puzzle tys, dlls r children's bikes. There wuld still be dress-up dlls and mnster ty trucks in that wrld, but instead f being just pink r blue, they wuld cme in every clr f the rainbw. Ty chices shuld be based n kids’persnal interests, and nt n their gender.
32. What des Christia Brwn say abut gender differences?
A. They are prbably unnticed.
B. They are scially cnstructed.
C. They are bilgically determined.
D. They are universally acknwledged.
33. What aspects f children are negatively affected by gendered tys?
A. Their academic perfrmance.
B. Their interpersnal relatinship.
C. Their behaviurs and attitudes.
D. Their physical strength and fitness.
34. What shuld we put effrts t change?
A. Hw the tys are marketed.B. Where the tys are sld.
C. When the tys are rlled ut.D. Wh the tys are targeted at.
35. What d the researchers expect f future tys?
A. They shuld be clurful.
B. They shuld be gender-neutral.
C. They shuld cater t kids’ tastes.
D. They shuld cver wider categries.

After a busy year abrad —— cnstantly meeting new peple, having new experiences and gaining independence, cming hme can feel like an anti-climax (落差很大). Like many ther exchange students I fund myself living with my parents again after a year abrad. 37 At first, I indulged in everything I had always lved abut being hme:days spent lunging with cups f tea and bks, tranquil walks and hme-cked dinners.But nce the jetlag subsided (倒过时差), I fund myself strangely lacking energy and mtivatin.

It seems dd t me that n ne at university warns yu abut this befrehand.
Getting a part-time jb eventually helped ease my wn sense f dissciatin, as it gave me the structure I needed. 40 Readjusting at hme has been harder than life abrad. But as I add sme f the things I lved abut living abrad t my hme life, while realizing that there are sme feelings I can't replace, I'm starting t find a new nrmal.

Fr as lng as I can remember, I have fund small talk prblematic. It was bring at best and stressful at wrst. A clleague cmmented n the weather, when I culd see fr myself that it was raining.
I wrked in bk publishing fr years, where netwrking was essential. I culd discuss authrs, print runs r marketing budgets with ease. But asking hw a buyer had travelled t the event? Or where a jurnalist had parked? I didn't care! S why were these the cnversatins we were all having? Everyne else seemed at ease, while I felt n edge.
Every exchange felt like a perfrmance, an evaluatin I was sure I was failing. I didn't understand the rules f engagement. Fr example, hw lng shuld small talk last? ShuldI answer hnestly? I wrried that my respnses were either flat r manic (狂躁的), my questins barked ut like an interrgatr (审讯者).
Then came an unexpected encunter that changed everything. In early May, I attended the annual publishing gathering. I std by the fd table, hlding a cup f wine and ndding with a tight smile t stp mre cnversatin.
Then, the self-help authr Wayne Dyer apprached, calm and thughtful, like a persn wh culd find meaning in small things. He didn't lead with the usual tpics abut the weather r my weekend. Instead, he glanced at the event cpy I was hlding and remarked,“I’ ve always been struck by the cver art fr this series. In yur view, what really makes a cver wrk?” His tne was thughtful and his gaze stayed n me. Caught ff guard, I gave a real answer. We fell int a shrt, easy discussin abut design and what drew a reader in. Fr nce, the chat didn't feel frced; it felt like an exchange. I felt listened t.
With a brief smile, he drifted away, leaving his wrds hanging in the air,“Change the way yu lk at things, and the things yu lk at change.”

Dear Chris,
I'm writing t share with yu my experience f shting a shrt vide n rural revitalizatin.
We arrived early in the mrning and were immediately drawn t the peaceful beauty f the cuntryside. We filmed farmers wrking in the fields, elderly wmen weaving bamb baskets,and children playing by a newly restred stream—— all telling the stry f a cmmunity n the rise.We als interviewed a yung man wh had returned t his hmetwn t start an rganic farm. His passin and determinatin left a deep impressin n all f us.
This experience taught me mre than I expected. I realized that rural revitalizatin is nt just abut better infrastructure, but als abut hpe, traditin, and yung peple chsing t cntribute t their hmetwns. It als made me appreciate the simplicity and warmth f rural life. I' ve attached a pht frm the sht. Hpe yu like it!

Inspired, I decided t try a new apprach. When a clleague mentined a lng drive, Indded and asked,“Was the audibk any gd? I'm always lking fr a recmmendatin.” He blinked, and launched int an enthusiastic review f a histry pdcast series. In a meeting, instead f asking abut smene's weekend, I nted the hiking bts under the table and inquired,“Which trail brke thse in?” The usually quiet designer grinned and shared stries abut weekend summit hikes. Gradually, every exchange felt like a real cnnectin rather than frced small talk. Wayne was right: it wasn't abut learning hw t handle small talk, but abut changing my relatinship with it entirely.
Nw small talk n lnger causes me anxiety. By asking myself what I might genuinely want t knw abut a persn, I feel engaged in every encunter. I'm nt perfrming pliteness; I'm fllwing a thread f curisity. I'm nt simply filling the silence; I'm bridging it with real interest.T me, small talk feels like a dr waiting t be pened. Lking back, I we that transfrmatin t Wayne. His simple yet prfund advice desn't just help me survive small talk ——— it helps me find genuine cnnectin in the mst unexpected places. And fr that, I will always be grateful.
