David Ppa was brn and raised in New Yrk City (NYC). His lve fr art began in his childhd, under the guidance f his father, Albert Ppa. Albert, ne f NYC’s first graffiti (涂鸦) writers, later turned t traditinal painting and passed n his skills t his sn. This unique interactin f graffiti’s free spirit and the discipline f traditinal painting shaped David’s artistic visin. His passin fr street art and big wall paintings grew during his cllege years, where he experimented with wall paintings, cmbining urban art with the physical and temprary nature f his creatins.
In 2017-2018, David relcated t Finland, where he fund inspiratin in the raw beauty f the Nrdic landscape. It was here that he pineered his art frm, creating large artwrks using natural materials, such as chalk and earth pigments (颜料).
Drawing inspiratin frm prehistric cave drawings, David describes himself as a “pale-painter”, cntinuing the ancient traditin f making art directly frm the natural wrld arund him.
David’s wrk is a harmnius mix f anthrplgy (人类学), nature, and art. By using natural pigments and water surced frm his wrk sites, he creates pieces that cnnect with the earth. His creatins are typically situated in remte, therwrldly lcatins, ften n small islands in the Nrdic regin. These artwrks are subject t nature, lasting frm a few days t a few mnths befre they are reclaimed by the envirnment.
The impermanent nature f David’s wrk is central t his artistic philsphy. Fr instance, his first majr prject Ephemeral, created in 2020, featured the integratin f art and nature, shwing the shrt-lived beauty that defines David’s wrk.
He whleheartedly accepts the unpredictability f the natural wrld, including elements like bird drppings and sudden strms in his art. These interactins result in dynamic pieces that beautifully highlight the shrtness f life, shwing the beauty f impermanence, and reminding us t appreciate the mmentary wnders f life.

Acrss Hawaii, what lks like a bad haircut n the landscape is marking the slw death f the ccnut palm (椰子树), thanks t the ccnut rhincers beetle (椰树犀牛甲虫) r CRB. Tday, all that stands between the beetle and a palm-pr Hawaii is a small team f scientists, field crews and tw trained dgs.
The beetle was first detected in Hawaii n Dec. 23, 2013, at a glf curse n Hickam AirFrce Base. “But wh was respnsible is really hard t prve. Yu’d have t find the transprted gds that came in years befre we even knew the beetle was here,” said Keith Weiser, deputy incident cmmander fr CRB Respnse.
At first, the beetle ppulatin appeared t be under cntrl. But in 2019, it began its great grwth. “We basically lst cntrl nce it hit central Oahu,” said prfessr and investigatr Michael Melzer. “With the tls we have, we’re nt ging t eliminate it n Oahu.” After that determinatin, the U.S. Department f Agriculture (USDA) tld the team t pull back t the prts in rder t fcus n stpping accidental beetle carriers there.
When the beetle was discvered n Kauai in 2023, Dr. Melzer thught there was a chance f eliminatin. “But it turned ut the beetle had already been widespread there,” he said. In May and July, beetles were discvered in tw shipments n Lanai and were destryed. On the Big Island, the team is trying t eliminate the beetle, which was fund in March, befre it’s t late.
The state is stepping in t help. This spring, the Hawaii gvernment prvided $500,000 annually fr the next tw years t CRB Respnse. The same bill added “Bisecurity” t the name f the Hawaii Department f Agriculture in a shw f urgency.
“We shuld be prepared if there is n funding frm the USDA,” Dr. Weiser said. Ultimately, the team can nly delay the beetle’s spread. “We dn’t have the resurces t stp it,” he added. “We’ve just given peple a few mre gd years with palms.”
8. Why des the authr mentin Keith Weiser’s wrds in paragraph 2?
A. T stress the challenges f prving the beetle’s rigin.
B. T explain the beetle’s living habits.
C. T describe the gds infected by the beetle.
D. T intrduce the beetle’s harm t palm trees.
9. The underlined wrd “eliminatin” in paragraph 4 is clsest in meaning t ________.

A. Mre financial supprt is needed t eliminate CRB.
B. Hawaii gvernment’s bill has n practical impact.
C. The beetles haven’t spread t ther places.
D. Mre trained dgs are needed t deal with the beetles.

Once yu’re stuffed frm a big meal, mst fds lse their appeal. But see a sweet treat and yu might be ready t make rm fr mre. Bilgy may explain this feeling, a new study led by neurscientist Marielle Minere suggests.
Minere first gt curius abut sugar cravings (渴望) while wrking with mice in an experiment. “When full, the mice wuldn’t eat nrmal fd but wuld eat sugar. That really made us want t knw what drives sugar cravings,” she recalls. S Minere’s team thught ut a way t explre which parts f the brain might explain this.
They put special prteins int a few parts f the mice’s brains. These prteins light up when brain cells are active. The researchers fcused n a grup f brain cells called the POMC. These cells are knwn t make mice — and peple — feel full. The team wndered if the same cells might help drive sugar cravings.
When an animal eats, the POMC cells send messages t ther grups f brain cells that give a sense f feeling full. That feeling tells the animal t stp eating. When the mice were ffered sugar, thugh, a different pathway ut f the POMC lit up. “We fund that the POMC cells are als quickly turned n when mice see signs f sugar,” says Minere.
This pathway, she believes, acts as a sugar-craving circuit. It can verpwer the fullness circuit. The sugar-craving circuit engages a part f the brain that signals rewards and pleasure. This, the researchers think, is what makes sweets s appealing.
T test if peple have the same sugar-craving brain circuit, Minere’s team designed anther experiment. Vlunteers agreed t lie in a brain scanner (扫描仪). It recrded brain activity as peple were given water r sugar. When they gt sugar, cells in their sugar-craving circuit lit up. This shwed that the sugar-craving circuit exists in bth mice and us.
Minere believes there’s a reasn why ur brains crave sugar. Our ancient ancestrs lived in a time when it was tugher t find fd, she says. And sweet fds prvide quick energy.
S, Minere says, it’s nt yur fault if yu can’t resist a sweet treat. Blame bilgy.
12. What inspired Minere t study sugar cravings?
A. What is the way t help peple lse weight.B. What stps mice frm feeling full.
C. Why peple avid fds after a big meal.D. Why mice still eat sugar when full.
13. What is the finding f Minere’s team abut the POMC cells?
A. They can be activated by the sight f sugar.B. They can drive mice t lk fr sugar.
C. They can make the brain signal pleasure.D. They can change ther types f brain cells.
14. Why d human brains crave sugar accrding t the study?
A. Because sweet fds are mre delicius than ther fds.
B. Because ancient humans needed quick energy frm sugar.
C. Because mdern peple have mre sugar t eat.
D. Because POMC cells stp wrking in mdern humans.
15. What is Minere’s attitude twards peple’s sugar cravings?
A. Critical.B. Understanding.C. Dubtful.D. Subjective.
