Last fall, with the temperature falling, we came t the end f sitting utdrs. We were faced with ne dilemma — what t d abut it in the winter? Well, we sat dwn and thught and meditated and decided t put it in Dnna’s garage fr the winter.
When I glimpsed it a few times ver the next mnths, the bench sat lnely, hlding empty flwer pts, and sme flat, ld bxes. But nw after a lng winter, spring flwers are ready t blm in the warm sunshine, and we neighburs are ready t welcme “The Bench” back int ur lives.

Perler beads, r, as they’re lcally knwn, pindu, are suddenly everywhere in China. This classic craft has surged in ppularity amng Gen Z cnsumers. Accrding t recent Spring Festival cnsumptin data, year-ver-year bkings fr perler bead wrkshps jumped 90.18 percent, far utpacing the next-fastest-grwing categry: pet barding.
Perler beads, als knwn as fusible beads, are tiny plastic cylinders arranged n pegbards t frm patterns, which are then fused with heat t create finished designs. The craft riginated in Sweden in the 1970s and was initially develped as a therapeutic tl (疗愈工具). Its inventr believed the fine mtr activity culd help lder adults maintain cgnitive functin and ease feelings f islatin during lng winters.
Tday, enthusiasts can either purchase DIY kits nline r visit specialized bead studis. These shps prvide materials, tls and an expanded clr palette (调色板), allwing custmers t create in-stre. A recent survey f Nanjing businesses fund that mst charge between 20 and 50 yuan per persn, typically withut time limits.
Whether a mindful escape r a creative utlet, perler beads tap int smething enduring: the satisfactin f making smething tangible, ne tiny piece at a time.
S why the craze? Psychlgy ffers clues. When fully absrbed in arranging beads, crafters ften enter a state knwn as “flw” — a term cined by psychlgist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi t describe deep immersin in a task. “Flw” ccurs when the challenge f the task matches the crafter’s skill level, creating a sweet spt between bredm and anxiety. The state is assciated with dpamine release and heightened feelings f fcus and satisfactin.
Many are als drawn t the repetitive, rhythmic mtin f bead placement, which can induce a calm mental state similar t mindfulness practice. Fr a generatin navigating cnstant digital stimulatin, the tactile(触觉的) act f crafting prvides a welcme mental reset.
There is als an explanatin rted in embdied cgnitin, a thery that states that thinking is shaped nt nly by the brain but by bdily mvement and sensry experience. Bead crafting engages tuch, sight and sund, creating deeper cgnitive engagement than purely digital interactin.
8．What is the main functin f the first paragraph?
A．T intrduce a trending craft and its cmmercial success.
B．T cmpare the grwth rates f different hliday services.
C．T explain why Gen Z cnsumers prefer hands-n activities.

B．A cgnitive pattern shaped by multisensry engagement.
C．A therapeutic prcess f arranging beads t relieve lneliness.

Tiny fiddler crabs (招潮蟹) are emerging as unexpected allies in the fight against cean plastic pllutin, accrding t a grundbreaking study published in January 2026. Researchers frm the University f Exeter discvered that these small crustaceans (甲壳类动物), cmmnly fund in mangrve ecsystems wrldwide, can ingest and break dwn micrplastics within days — far faster than natural prcesses like sunlight and wave actin, which usually take mnths r even years t degrade plastic waste.
The study tk place in urban mangrves alng Clmbia’s Caribbean cast, an area heavily impacted by plastic pllutin due t years f urban and agricultural expansin, with plastic waste ften washing int the mangrves frm nearby cities and farmlands. Despite being surrunded by high levels f plastic pllutin, the crabs were fund t be “thriving” while perfrming an imprtant eclgical service. As ecsystem engineers, they cnstantly dig and srt thrugh sediment (沉淀物) t find fd such as algae and small invertebrates, unintentinally ingesting micrplastic particles in the prcess.
Labratry analysis revealed that apprximately 15 percent f the plastic particles recvered frm crab tissues were visibly fragmented, with digestin identified as the primary cause. The crabs’ pwerful gastric mills — prfessinal stmach structures used t grind fd — were fund t break dwn plastic particles int smaller pieces. Hwever, researchers cautin that this prcess may als create nanplastics, which are even smaller than micrplastics and culd ptentially enter the fd chain, psing new risks t marine life and eventually humans wh cnsume seafd.
“These findings highlight nature’s remarkable ability t adapt t human-caused prblems,” said Dr. Emily Taylr, lead authr f the study. “While fiddler crabs can’t slve ur plastic crisis alne, they demnstrate hw even small rganisms play critical rles in maintaining ecsystem health.” The research emphasizes the imprtance f prtecting mangrve habitats, which nt nly supprt bidiversity but may als prvide natural slutins t sme f ur mst pressing envirnmental challenges, ffering hpe in the glbal effrt t reduce plastic pllutin, she added.
12．What can we learn abut fiddler crabs frm the passage?
A．They have evlved specialized rgans t grind plastics.
B．They survive pllutin while prviding eclgical benefits.
C．They accelerate degradatin by filtering cntaminated water.
D．They depend n micrplastics as a supplementary fd surce.
13．Which can best describe the prcess in which fiddler crabs break dwn micrplastics?
A．An efficient slutin.
B．A duble-edged swrd.
C．A purely accidental byprduct.
D．An ec-friendly cnsuming behavir.
14．What can be inferred frm the text abut the research implicatins?
A．Small rganisms alne can restre damaged ecsystems.
B．Human activity may enhance nature’s self-repair capacity.
C．The findings ffer hpe but require cautius interpretatin.
D．Mangrve prtectin is a practical slutin t plastic pllutin.
15．What is the best title fr the passage?
A．The Hidden Risks f Marine Plastic Breakdwn.
B．Micrplastic Degradatin: A Chemical Perspective.
C．Nature’s Unsung Helpers in Fighting Micrplastics.
D．Mangrve Cnservatin: A Natural Slutin t Plastic Waste.
