Tree-planting prjects are becming increasingly ppular wrldwide, led by cmpanies, nnprfits, gvernments, and cmmunities. This raises the questin f hw investrs r dnrs can chse which prjects t supprt and assess their effectiveness. T address this, researchers f the Mngabay.app created a database t rganize infrmatin n what refrestatin prjects publicly disclse. It is based n a cmprehensive set f expert-identified criteria gruped int five categries — cntext, eclgical, ecnmic, scial, and institutinal — and assists users t identify suitable prjects and ask infrmed questins.
●Why use the Mngabay. app
High standards: Our list f criteria was primarily drawn frm the Frest Landscape Restratin (FLR) apprach, widely recgnized as the gld standard acrss the restratin sectr.
Transparency (透明度): Rather than make an assessment f the quality f the prjects, the Mngabay. app reveals hw much infrmatin is publicly disclsed by an rganizatin.
A grwing catalg (目录): The cmmunity is encuraged t share new prjects and update infrmatin abut existing prjects t make this catalg the best available resurce.
●Hw it wrks
T find a refrestatin prject that matches yur interests, srt thrugh the catalg using indicatrs frm five key categries.
Once yu have a list f ptential prjects, examine the circular diagram next t each ne — this represents its transparency level: the mre cmplete the circle, the mre infrmatin is disclsed. Click n the diagram t dig int the detailed prject chart, s yu can make an infrmed decisin n which prject t supprt.
1. What is the main purpse f the researchers by creating a database?
A. T finance prjects.B. T set up standards.
C. T launch initiatives.D. T help make chices.
2. What is the first step t find a suitable prject?
A. Make an in-depth study f prjects.
B. Outline a list f candidate prjects.
C. Examine prject charts in a diagram.
D. Assess a prject’s transparency level.
3. Which prject wuld interest an investr seeking clear infrmatin n frest type?

I was a habitual pessimist, frever assuming the wrst cases. As a textbk “helicpter mm,” I checked the backyard fr hidden dangers befre letting him play, carried a fully stcked emergency kit t his T-ball games, and flatly declined all cncerts r crwded utings — fearing crushes, fires, r unfreseen disasters. My husband Dn repeatedly argued that my verprtectin was suffcating (窒息) David, urging me t let him experience nrmal childhd risks, but I maintained that I was merely safeguarding my sn.
The significant turning pint came n a quiet afternn when I chanced upn David in his rm. He was carefully wrapping his belved Superman figurine (小雕像) in bubble wrap, and when I asked why, he annunced prudly, “Nw yu’re safe frm pinty buildings and crashes.” In that instant, I was struck by a harsh and humbling truth: my verwhelming parania (偏执) had impacted his yung mind, narrwing nt just my wn wrld but limiting his t. I realized I was wasting my life n unfunded fears and dragging David int the same cycle f anxiety.
Determined t change, I peeled ff the bubble wrap, explained that nly Kryptnite culd harm Superman, and guided him t play with nn-destructive targets. I agreed t attend the dwntwn cncert Dn had been urging us t g t, adpting “crss that bridge if we cme t it” as my new mtt. Gradually, I recnnected with friends I’d pushed away, lsened the invisible hld I had n David, and learned t embrace the present mment rather than fear the unknwn.
I’ll never seek extreme adventures like skydiving, but I nw enjy activities I nce avided-frm family camping trips t David’s sprts games. He matured int a cnfident, tugh yung man, bearing the small scars f a nrmal childhd. Thse rads I missed due t parania still hurt, but the newer, brighter paths I’ve chsen — thanks t a fur-year-ld and his superher — have made all the difference in bth ur lives.

Histrically, the wrker wh wrked the mst hurs was widely seen as an rganizatin’s mst valuable emplyee. But that is n lnger true: as AI prmises t transfrm hw we wrk, and the fur-day-wrkweek mvement gains steam, it is time t admit nce and fr all that wrking mre des nt make yu mre prductive.
In fact, many wrkers culd dutifully keep themselves busy fr an entire day withut ding anything f real value, instead answering pintless emails and attending unnecessary meetings. Meanwhile, many are struggling under the unsustainable cnsequences f applying an industrial-era measure f prductivity — namely, dividing utput by hurs — t ur mdern knwledge ecnmy. As a result, wrkers are under cnstant pressure t relinquish their rightfully earned time t prve their cmmitment.
Thse wh finish their tasks mre quickly are typically rewarded with mre wrk t fill the hurs they’ve saved, in what is smetimes referred t as “perfrmance punishment.” A c-wrker wh wrks thrugh evenings, weekends, r lunch breaks t cmplete the same wrklad, meanwhile, is ften mre likely t be praised r even prmted fr their perceived cmmitment. This dynamic ultimately creates mre pressure t lk busy than t deliver value, which is getting in the way f actually getting wrk dne and hlding back rganizatinal prductivity while wearing dwn wrkers’ well-being.
S it is time fr us t be smarter abut hw we wrk. That is ultimately what the fur-day-wrkweek mvement seeks t inspire. Instead f just giving everyne an extra vacatin day each week, when psitined as a perfrmance-based mtivatr, the fur-day wrkweek becmes a wake-up call t refcus ur time and energy at wrk n the things that really matter t the business.
In tday’s knwledge ecnmy and tmrrw’s AI reality, the mst successful individuals, rganizatins, and natins wn’t be thse that wrk the mst hurs, but thse that are the mst effective at making their wrking hurs cunt.
8. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic?
A. By listing AI-driven changes in wrk.
B. By challenging the hurs-prductivity link.
C. By describing emplyee-centered practices.
D. By advcating a shrt-time wrking pattern.
9. What des the underlined wrd “relinquish” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Set aside.B. Cunt n.
C. Give up.D. Care abut.
10. What weakens rganizatinal effectiveness accrding t paragraph 3?
A. Jb burnut.
B. Perfrmative busyness.
C. Unfair punishment.
D. Unnticed cmmitment.
11. What des the authr think f the fur-day wrkweek?
A. A reward fr efficiency at wrk.
B. A wake-up call t stay cmpetitive.
C. A push t think smarter abut wrk.
D. A preparatin fr the uncertain future.

Plastic has always been a duble-edged swrd — multi-purpse and cheap, but chemically stable. Traditinal recycling methds invlve multiple stages f srting, cleaning, and melting (融化), which are energy-intensive and degrade the material’s quality. Turning plastic int fuel has been explred befre, but existing techniques require high heat, cmplex catalysts (催化剂), and ften prduce impure results.
Nw, a grundbreaking cperatin between scientists in the US and China has brught the wrld ne step clser t a real slutin. Using a specially designed catalytic reactin, researchers fund a way t break dwn lng plastic plymer (聚合物) chains int shrt hydrcarbn mlecules — the building blcks f fuel — in a single step.
The team’s secret lies in a nvel catalytic material that perates at medium temperatures — far lwer than thse used in cnventinal methds. Unlike traditinal recycling, which melts plastic int lwer-grade prducts, this catalyst essentially reduces plastics int usable hydrcarbn chains in just a few hurs. The utput can then be further prcessed int fuels fr vehicles r even planes. Accrding t Prfessr Zhang Wei, a chemical engineer frm the Chinese partner university, the prcess transfrms 95% f the plastic int usable hydrcarbns, leaving minimal remains and almst n harmful byprducts.
The implicatins f this breakthrugh extend far beynd scientific curisity. If widely used, the ne-step plastic-t-fuel methd culd dramatically reduce bth plastic waste and nn-renewable fuel dependence.
Prmising as the results are, experts stress that the cst f catalysts, the difficulty f cllecting mixed plastic waste, and the issue f carbn emissins frm burning fuels are key challenges t be addressed. Fr this reasn, scientists see the innvatin nt as an end pint, but as a temprary fix tward a cleaner future.
While questins remain, this innvatin marks a hpeful turn in humanity’s lng battle with plastic waste. It transfrms what was nce pllutin int pwer and demnstrates that the slutins t big prblems ften lie in rethinking waste nt as garbage-but as ptential.
12. What is a key advantage f the new methd f recycling plastics?
A. Lw csts.B. Simple prcesses.C. High security.D. Adjustable reactin.
13. What des the nvel catalyst help with?
A. Speeding up waste cllectin.B. Adjusting the perating temperature.
C. Minimizing harmful byprducts.D. Turning plastics int basic chemicals.
14. Hw d scientists regard the methd?
A. A dead end.B. A starting pint.C. A stepping stne.D. A definite answer.
15. What inspiratin des the innvatin bring t us?
A. New views create pssibilities.B. Human effrt vercmes challenges.
C. Clse teamwrk wrks wnders.D. Tugh prblems lead t innvatins.

The master thinker priritizes the factrs that impact an issue the mst.
Finally, cnsider the verall cntext. The master thinker cnsiders the circumstances and cnditins f an issue. ____20____ A few minutes t rient urselves and reflect n the situatin as a whle can nce mre save us time dwn the rad. Only then is it time t cnsider the details and incrprate them back int said picture.

Sean Rystn, and his lng-time friend, Tlin Annis had a traditin t head ut fr an expeditin every ther year. In 2016, they decided t kayak (划皮艇) the Rcks NatinalLakeshre, a challenging rute n Lake Superir, teibentrti tu bbsn l rast udern.
On September 13, they laded up n fd and camping devices, climbed int their kayaks, and pushed ff frm a beach near the natinal park’s headquarters. They planned t return in a week. They mved thrugh small waves and headed nrtheast. Sn the lakeshre’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began t rise n their right. Away frm the shre, the head wind grew t the frecasted 10 knts — and kept rising. Still, they never cnsidered turning arund.
They had been rwing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew t tw metres and steepened. The wind rse t an intense 20 knts, putting them in danger f flipping ver. “It went bad fast!” shuted Tlin, wh was in the lead abut 20 metres ahead f Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them clser t the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rlled them int the water.
Sean managed t get back t kayak, hlding nt it fr stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he culdn’t make any prgress against the strng wind. “My arms are giving ut.” Sean thught t himself, “I gtta call nw.” Using a VHF radi clipped t his life jacket, Sean called: “Mayday, tw kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blcked the signal frm reaching anyne. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared frm sight. The man yelled t his friend at the tp f his lungs, but there’s n reply.
Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away frm the shreline and farther ut in the lake. Exhausted, he flated n his back and cnsidered his ptins. Sean decided t turn dwnwind, twards the beach where they had launched that mrning. It was 5 kilmeters away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking.
