In 2006, as a 10-year-ld living in ne f Delhi’s busiest markets, I wuld ften run dwnstairs t buy milk, eggs r vegetables fr my mther. The shpkeepers knew me by face and ften guessed my rder befre I even spke. These small market runs taught me mre than I realised at the time — quick mental maths, cnversatins with strangers, and backup plans when a shp was shut. S much unintentinal learning.
Over time, these rutines became daily cmfrt. Whether it was me r my mther, we enjyed the smiles, brief chats, and snacks alng the way — small mments that quietly held ur lives tgether.
Nw, things are different. With Blinkit, Zept, and Instamart, grceries arrive in 10 minutes. While I still enjy shpping in the market after wrk, my mther begins her day by cmparing prices n apps and rdering everything with a few taps (点击). The grcery trips that nce lifted her md, imprved her health, and helped her stay cnnected with the neighburhd have disappeared. The jy f being knwn, f interacting, is dying.
And it’s nt just her. Many f us nw rely mre n apps and less n peple. Our grwing reliance n instant delivery is reducing thse everyday mments f interactin. There’s the financial cst t. When yu’re t tired r t busy t plan yur grceries, yu end up rdering in pieces — adding things yu dn’t need just t hit the free-delivery minimum.
Of curse, these apps are a gift n tugh days when we’re sick r shrt n time. But next time yu feel like pening a grcery app, try walking t yur lcal shp instead. Yu might cme back with mre than just grceries — a smile, a quick chat, and a sense f cnnectin. Smetimes, the cst f cnvenience isn’t what yu pay. It’s what yu miss.
4．What des the authr think f early market runs?
A．Adventurus.B．Valuable.C．Tiring.D．Cmplex.
5．Hw did the authr’s mther change her shpping habit later?
A．She turned t nline shpping.B．She visited grceries with neighburs.
C．She cared abut discunts in stres.D．She rdered whatever lifted her md.
6．What cncerns the authr abut instant delivery?
A．It takes away small scial mments.B．It invlves paying extra service fees.
C．It results in pr physical cnditin.D．It makes peple addicted t shpping.
7．What is implied in the last paragraph?
A．A shared gift dubles its jy.B．Cnvenience cmes at a cst.
C．A smile is free but wrth a lt.D．Rush breaks human cnnectin.
Think f evlutin (进化), and yu might think f Darwin’s natural selectin. But accrding t researchers writing in the jurnal BiScience, it is nt ur genes that are determining ur current evlutinary jurney. It is ur culture. “Cultural evlutin eats genetic evlutin fr breakfast,” said Zachary Wd, a researcher in eclgy and envirnmental sciences at the University f Maine.
Althugh genetics drve the mst fundamental changes in ur evlutinary past, this prcess is incremental. Cultural evlutin, in cntrast, can ccur within the time it takes t pass a law. Timthy Waring, an assciate prfessr at the University f Maine, said, “Culture slves prblems much mre rapidly than genetic evlutin. This suggests ur species is in the middle f a great evlutinary transitin.”
Cultural practices integrate everything frm farming techniques and legal requirements t medical advances. Cultural evlutin is nt new — the transitin t agriculture, fr example, has seen humans mve frm hunter - gatherer scieties t permanent settlements. But, Wd and Waring argue, the impact f cultural evlutin is grwing. When we see increases in ur life expectancy, it is less ften the result f genes and mre likely the prduct f advancements in healthcare and ther related aspects.
Still nt cnvinced? “Ask yurself: what matters mre fr yur persnal life utcmes, the genes yu are brn with, r the cuntry where yu live?” said Waring. “Tday, yur wellbeing is determined less and less by yur persnal bilgy and mre and mre by the cultural systems that surrund yu — yur cmmunity, yur natin, yur technlgies.”
Sme experts believe we are heading twards a future where all f humanity will functin as a single unit, much like an ant clny (群落) des. Wd and Waring d nt believe we are there yet, but predict that in the lng term, culture will cntinue t grw in influence ver human evlutin until genes becme secndary and are ultimately cntrlled by culture.
8．What des the underlined wrd “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Nrmal.B．Gradual.
C．Difficult.D．Shrt.
9．Hw des the authr shw the impact f cultural evlutin?
A．By giving an example f medical advances.
B．By mentining the rigin f human sciety.
C．By citing the pinins f different researchers.
D．By highlighting cultural practices in varius areas.
10．Hw did Waring sund in paragraph 4?
A．Cnfused.B．Curius.
C．Cnfident.D．Critical.
11．What des the last paragraph fcus n?
A．The lss f human individuality.
B．The speed f cultural change.
C．The future dminance f culture.
D．The structure f an ant clny.
Thrughut histry, trees have played a crucial rle in maintaining eclgical balance. They absrb CO2 and transfrm it int xygen. But ne f the challenges with this traditinal carbn absrptin is that the CO2 trees stre can be released back int the atmsphere when they die.
Hwever, the discvery f certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimensin t this natural prcess. These trees, als fund in several ther cuntries, have been bserved t transfrm CO2 int calcium xalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrunding sil transfrm it further int calcium carbnate (碳酸钙), a primary cmpnent f limestne and chalk. The unique prcess ensures that the CO2 is kept in slid frm fr much lnger, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rwley frm the University f Zurich at the Gldschmidt Cnference.
While the scientific cmmunity is ptimistic abut these findings, several challenges remain. The primary cncern is determining the exact amunt f CO2 that these trees can transfrm thrughut their lifetime. Withut this accurate data, it is challenging t assess the full impact f this methd glbally. Understanding the eclgical balance and ensuring the preservatin f bidiversity are crucial befre wrldwide planting f these trees. Cperative research effrts are needed t explre these aspects and develp a cmprehensive strategy fr using these trees as a natural slutin t climate change.
This discvery in Kenya invites us t recnsider the ptential f natural prcesses in addressing envirnmental challenges. While technlgical slutins t climate change are vital, integrating natural methds ffers an alternative apprach. The unique ability f these trees presents a prmising methd fr explratin.
The jurney t fighting climate change is cmplex. As we dig deeper int understanding natural phenmena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask urselves: Hw can we make the best f the pwer f nature t create a sustainable future fr generatins t cme?
12．What is special abut the trees fund in Kenya?
A．They absrb mre CO2.B．They help turn CO2 int slids.
C．They release xygen quickly.D．They live in harmny with bacteria.
13．What is the cre challenge befre applying the discvery glbally?
A．Assessing the cst f the prcess.B．Understanding the impact n sil.
C．Quantifying the CO2 transfrmatin.D．Cllecting the data n bidiversity.
14．What des the authr try t explre in the last tw paragraphs?
A．The seriusness f climate change.B．The methd f green develpment.
C．The prspect f scientific appraches.D．The rle f nature in climate slutins.
15．What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．A defensive Strategy in NatureB．A Recent Advance in CO2 Research
C．Kenyan Trees: A Natural Carbn LckD．Tree Planting: A Key t Eclgical Balance
Accrding t a 2024 attentin study by King’s Cllege Lndn, 49% f the UK public are experiencing “ppcrn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attentin and wandering thughts. 16 In respnse t the findings, psychlgist Tina Chummun gives her tp tips.
Adpt the mind map methd. T manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write dwn everything, like appintments, wrries and t - ds, withut rganizing it initially. Once everything is n paper, grup these int life areas like wrk r emtinal wellbeing. 17 This creates rder and gives yur brain permissin t cncentrate.

Minimizing tech is als the key t getting back n track in yur daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. 19 Then it culd be fllwed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches yur brain t tlerate stillness withut feeling punished.
20 At first, yu may feel bred, as ppcrn brain likes being ‘g g g’ t feel safe. “G fr a walk withut music, r simply stare ut yur windw,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and bserve yur thughts. Let yur brain breathe. It is smetimes exactly what yur nervus system needs.”
S, are yu ready t quiet the mental ppcrn and get yur fcus back?
A．Allw space in yur day fr ding nthing.
B．S, what’s making ur brains pp like ppcrn?
C．Instead, g ttally screen-free fr 25-30 minutes.
D．Starving distractins and feeding fcus is a nice idea.
E．Then ask yurself: what matters nw and what can wait?
F．They feel their attentin less fcused and deep thinking rarer.
G．This practice enables yu t slw dwn and manage emtins.

Hw Often Breakfast Is Skipped Recently, ur schl English newspaper has cnducted a survey n hw ften students skip breakfast. Accrding t the bar chart, abut 50% f students never skip breakfast, which is encuraging. Hwever, nearly 30% skip breakfast nce a week, and arund 20% skip it during schl week, meaning they ften g withut the mst imprtant meal f the day.
These results cncern me. Skipping breakfast may lead t pr cncentratin and lw energy in class, which culd affect academic perfrmance. I suggest the schl raise students’ awareness f the imprtance f breakfast thrugh health lectures r mrning reminders. A healthy bdy is the fundatin f successful learning.
47．“Sure! Want t meet here after schl?” May asked. Olivia’s face lit up with excitement. “That wuld be awesme!” she replied.

When the line started mving int the lunchrm, they sat tgether, still engrssed in their cnversatin abut crafts.
May gt a new idea and she decided t have a talk with Mrs. Miller. After lunch, she made her way t Rm 301 in Teaching Building B. She walked in nervusly but when she saw Mrs. Miller’s warm smile, her curage grew. May explained her lve fr crafts and hw she hped t start a craft club. Mrs. Miller was delighted and said it was a wnderful idea. With Mrs. Miller’s supprt, May culdn't wait t tell Olivia and start their very wn craft club, lking frward t making mre friends wh shared their passin.
