“The gvernment has big targets arund sustainable develpment leading int 2030. We want t start speeding that up even sner,” she says. “We’re suffering frm ur wn waste really, s anything that we can all d n a practical level helps. We shuld first make lifestyle chices and be prepared t g secnd-hand.”

Scientists have been experimenting with playing sunds t plants since at least the 1960s, during which time they have been expsed t everything frm Beethven t Michael Jacksn. Over the years, evidence that this srt f thing can have an effect has been grwing. One paper, published in 2018, claimed that an Asian shrub knwn as the telegraph plant grew substantially larger leaves when expsed t 56 days f Buddhist music—but nt if it was expsed t Western pp music r silence. Anther, published last year, fund that mariglds and sage plants expsed t the nise f traffic frm a busy mtrway suffered grwth difficulty.
Plants have been evlving（进化）alngside the insects that eat them fr hundreds f millins f years. With that in mind, Heidi Appel, a btanist nw at the University f Hustn, and Reginald Ccrft, a bilgist at the University f Missuri, wndered if plants might be sensitive t the sunds made by the animals with which they mst ften interact. They recrded vibratins made by certain species f caterpillars（毛毛虫）as they chewed n leaves. These vibratins are nt pwerful enugh t prduce sund waves in the air. But they are able t travel acrss leaves and branches, and even t neighburing plants if their leaves tuch.
They then expsed tbacc plant—the plant bilgist’s versin f the labratry muse—t the recrded vibratins while n caterpillars were actually present. Later, they put real caterpillars n the plants t see if expsure had led them t prepare fr an insect attack. The results were striking. Leaves that had been expsed had significantly higher levels f defensive chemicals, making them much harder fr the caterpillars t eat. Leaves that had nt been expsed t vibratins shwed n such respnse. Other srts f vibratin—caused by the wind, fr instance, r ther insects that d nt eat leaves—had n effect.
“Nw speakers with the right audi files are mre ften being used t warn crps t act when insects are detected but nt yet widespread,” says Dr. Ccrft. “Unlike chemical pesticides, sund waves leave n dangerus chemicals.”
28. What can we learn abut plants frm the first paragraph?
A. They may enjy western music.B. They can’t stand Buddhist music.
C. They can react t different sunds.D. They can make different sunds.
29. What’s the basis fr Appel and Ccrft’s research?
A. Plants can make a cry fr help.B. Plants evlve alngside insects.
C. Plants are sensitive t the sunds.D. Plants have been studied fr years.
30. What can we infer abut plants frm Paragraph 3?
A. They can recngnize harmful vibratins.B. They lk like labratry muse.
C. They can threaten the caterpillars.D. They can release pisnus chemicals.
31. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Disadvantages f chemical pesticides.B. Applicatin f the experimental results.
C. Interactin between plants and insects.D. Warming system fr widespread insects.

A physical checkup ften begins with a series f questins: What fds d yu eat? D yu smke? Getting any exercise? New research suggests anther telling indicatr culd be added t that list: What was yur cllege majr? The study finds ne’s chsen field f cllege study is a statistically significant predictr f health in midlife.
The researchers find the fur majrs assciated with the best midlife health are architecture/engineering, bilgy/life sciences, business, and—here’s a surprise-cmmunicatins/jurnalism. Perhaps chasing after big stries keeps us jurnalists in shape.
It has lng been established that peple with mre educatin tend t be healthier. But des ne’s majr matter? T find ut, the researchers analyzed data frm the natinally representative American Cmmunity Survey.
Their sample cnsisted f 3.7 millin United States-brn adults between the ages f 45 and 64—the time f life when physical functining prblems start t appear. Participants nted whether they had difficulty walking r climbing stairs, dressing r bathing. A “yes” answer in any f thse categries resulted in a grade f relatively pr health.
The researchers fcused n the 667,362 participants wh earned a bachelr’s degree, but went n further in their educatin. They nted each persn’s cllege majr, which they placed int ne f 15 categries. They fund substantial differences in health acrss majrs. Tw majrs are particularly disadvantaged in midlife. The chances f pr health are 1.9 times greater amng psychlgy/ scial wrk and law/public plicy majrs cmpared t business majrs. The researchers argue this is likely due t several factrs. Psychlgy majrs tend t suffer frm high unemplyment and lw earnings. Law/public plicy majrs ften enter the field f law enfrcement（执行）.
The researchers say that they have discvered assciatins, nt prf f causality（因果关系）. But they make a cnvincing case that sme majrs lead peple t live healthier lifestyles than thers. Their findings might even inspire a warning cuntry sng: Mammas, dn’t let yur babies grw up t be psychlgy majrs.
32. What can be learned frm the first tw paragraphs?
A. Smking can lead t pr health.B. Diet is mre imprtant than exercise.
C. Physical checkups keep yu healthy.D. Cllege majr chuld be added t a checkup.
33. Hw d researchers draw their cnclusins?
A. By ding face-t-face interviews.B. By fllwing participants’ daily rutines.
C. By ding medical examinatins.D. By analyzing the representative data.
34. Which f the fllwing is against midlife health accrding t the researchers?
A. Engineering.B. Business.C. Psychlgy.D. Agriculture.
35. What is the best title f the passage?
A. Cllege majrs can predict midlife health.
B. Mre majrs in cllege can imprve health.
C. The annual physical exam is necessary t life.
D. Peple with mre educatin tend t be healthier.

The philsphy that can help yu keep yur hme rganized
Hw can we clean up ur space and keep it that way? That’s a questin that Star Hansen thinks a lt abut. She’s a prfessinal rganizer wh teaches classes n hme rganizing. She believes that keeping yur hme neat and tidy is a cntinual prcess. 36 . Here are her tidying philsphy strategies t clean up yur messes.
Understand yur chas
Hansen says everyne’s chas tells a persnal stry. What becmes chas and where yur chas build up can say a lt abut what’s ging n with yu. If yu have unwanted piles f stuff arund yur huse, ask yurself: What’s making it hard t thrw them away? Fr example, a unifrm that hasn’t fit fr years. 37 . When yu understand the reasns behind yur chas, it’s a lt easier t knw what t keep and what t thrw away.
Start small
When it cmes t rganizing，dn’t bite f mre than yu can chew. If yu start with t big a gal, yu might discuraged if the jb takes t lng. S dn’t try t clean yur entire garage in ne afternn. 38 . Fr example, yu can tidy yur cupbard first and save mre cmplicated items, like yur garage, fr last. Setting realistic gals can help keep yu invested in the prcess.
39
It’s easy t be rganized the day after tidying. But what happens when yu cme hme frm a trip and are t tired t unpack yur luggage? Or when yu get the flu and are t sick t clean up? The key t staying rganized is t create practices that can be easily maintained. Make a system that wrks fr yu even when yu’ve gt a cld. Fr example, label strage cntainers n all fur sides s they’re easier t spt. 40 .
A. Make it easy t stay rganized
B. Abandn the fancy strage bxes
C. Instead, start with smething less challenging
D. Maybe it reveals a lnging fr yur frmer prfessin
E. That attitude can help yu let g f things yu dn’t need
F. Yu have t take the time t create systems that wrk fr yu
G. Make sure yur mst used items are always the easiest t reach
