Fr eight years, Sphie created realistic-lking limbs (肢) fr thse wh wanted t fit in. But she lnged t wrk n mre dd designs that wuld stand ut. Then she met Pllyanna Hpe, a yung amputee (被截肢者).
“She wanted smething a little different n her leg: pictures f a cartn she lved, Peppa Pig,” said Sphie, wh is nw based in Lndn. S she designed a unique leg cvered in tatt-like images f Peppa and ther pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Wrking with Hpe made Sphie realize there was a ptential market fr limbs.
Since then, Sphie funded the Alternative Limb Prject (ALP) t make artistic limbs. Her wrk includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that lks like prcelain (瓷器) cvered in a painted flwery vine. She makes abut six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas s that they receive a persnal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.
Of curse, a fancy-lking limb wn’t suit everyne. Fr Sphie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a cmbinatin f cmfrt, beauty and functinality, and pushing t hard in ne directin can weaken ther areas. But fr amputees wh appreciate nvelty, Sphie has sme amazing ideas.
“I’d really like t make a candy-dispenser leg with clrful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuck-clck leg with a wden bird that pps ut every hur.” Her gal is t fashin a striking limb.
“It’ll transfrm the limbs frm an elephant in the rm int a cnversatin piece.”

D. Functinality is the key.
17. What can be inferred frm the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

“The ppsite f play isn’t wrk; it’s depressin,” says play researcher Stuart Brwn. “The adult-play shrtage is becming a public health crisis.” Play may appear insignificant, but recent studies indicate it maybe as essential as the need fr sleep. Playfulness helps sme yung animals learn t master their bdies and their envirnments — and nce they d, mst stp playing as adults.
“Adult play prmtes qualities that we humans culd use mre f,” says Jeff Harry, a play cnsultant. Unfrtunately, scial standards restrain (抑制) ur urge t let lse. “Being a playful adult is really disapprved in ur sciety,” he says. “Yu dn’t want peple t think that yu’re childish.”
“It hasn’t always been this way,” says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Bstn University. When Gray reviewed descriptins f the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he nticed that they were ften described as “gd-humred” and “jyful”. “What we wuld call wrk — hunting and gathering — was fun,” he says. “Generally speaking, we like t d the things that are necessary fr ur survival. Humans tk ne giant step away frm fun when we started planting crps. Then we invented factries and lst sight f play entirely,” Gray adds.
We may be able t reverse this situatin, says Harry. As we fully make the transitin t a knwledge-based ecnmy, wrk and play are beginning t merge (合并) again. Sme f tday’s mst successful cmpanies, such as Ggle and Apple, were started by peple tinkering (小修补) in their garages.
“Play is all abut lking at a tugh wrld with creativity and ptimism,” Brwn says. He ges s far as t declare that “adult play is necessary fr ur survival as a species”.
The next time I’m caught playing, I knw exactly what I’ll say, “I am nt wasting time, r acting immature. I’m playing fr the benefit f all humanity. Yu’re welcme.”
18. Why des Stuart Brwn cnsider adult play essential?
A. It prmtes creativity.B. It battles depressin.
C. It facilitates cperatin.D. It imprves adaptivity.
19. What scietal factr restrains adult play accrding t Jeff Harry?
A. Fear f judgment frm thers.
B. Lack f sufficient time fr leisure.
C. Cultural emphasis n persnal values.
D. Pressure frm wrk-related respnsibilities
20. Which statement will Peter Gray agree with accrding t Paragraph 3?
A. Adult play cntributes psitively t wrk.
B. Scial attitudes tward play regularly shift.
C. Humans initially fund jy in survival activities.
D. Industrializatin clsely cnnected wrk and play.
21. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T stress the significance f adult play.
B. T discuss the evlutin f wrk and play.
C. T advcate playfulness in mdern businesses.
D. T explre the impact f adult play n depressin.

High in the Swiss Alps and the Arctic, scientists have discvered micrbes (微生物) that can digest plastics — imprtantly, withut the need t apply extra heat. Their findings, published in the jurnal Frntiers in Micrbilgy, culd ne day imprve plastic recycling.
It’s n secret that plastic pllutin is still a big, glbal issue. Since its prductin explded during and after Wrld War II, humans have created mre than 9.1 billin tns f plastic — and researchers estimate that less than ne tenth f the resulting waste has been recycled. T make matters wrse, the mst cmmn recycling ptin — when plastic is washed, prcessed and turned int new prducts — desn’t actually reduce waste: The recycled materials are ften f lwer quality and might later end up in a landfill all the same.
S, researchers are lking fr slutins t the plastics prblem that g beynd cnventinal recycling — and ne prcess they’ve experimented with is breaking dwn plastics using micrbes. But the knwn plastic-digesting micrbes can nly d s at warm temperatures abve 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When dne at an industrial scale, the amunt f energy needed t generate that much heat makes the prcess give ff mre carbn — and cst mre mney.
But the micrbes fund in the Arctic and Swiss Alps can functin at cler temperatures: They were able t break dwn bidegradable (可生物降解的) plastics at 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In the new study, c-authr Jel Rüthi and his clleagues discvered that f the ttal 34 types f micrbes examined, 19 were successfully able t break dwn a frm f plastic called plyester-plyurethane, and 17 culd break dwn tw types f bidegradable plastic mixtures.
Unfrtunately, the plastics that the micrbes partially degraded represent a “really small amunt f plastics in circulatin,” said Gavin Lear, an envirnmental micrbilgist, wh was nt invlved in the study. Lear acknwledged that using natural micrbes can prvide a head start when it cmes t designing a strategy fr bi-recycling. If we mve away frm the cnventinal nn-bidegradable materials, “and we start t use mre f these bidegradable plastics, then it’s gd that we knw hw t degrade them mre quickly s they’re less f an envirnmental prblem,” he cncluded.
22. What d we knw abut the cnventinal recycling?
A. It des nt live up t expectatins.B. It cntributes t mre waste.
C. It is nt as ppular as befre.D. It ensures new prduct quality.
23. Which best describes the methd f using the micrbes in the previus studies?
A. Impractical.B. Pineering.C. Reliable.D. Invaluable.
24. Why is the new study mentined in paragraph 4?
A. T prve the micrbes have an bvius taste preference.
B. T shw the finding pens drs t a mre efficient system.
C. T clarify hw the prcess f breaking dwn plastics wrks.
D. T explain why bi-recycling is better than cnventinal recycling.
25. What d the underlined wrds “head start” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Reward.B. Criterin.C. Prtectin.D. Advantage.

When fighting sugar dependence, aviding added sugar in the diet is key, which sunds simple — right? It certainly des, but things becme a bit mre cmplicated nce we intrduce alternative sweeteners int the mix.
26 Many peple think that if they replace the sugar in their diet with alternative sweeteners, they’ll be gd t g, but this isn’t necessarily the case.
Alternative sweeteners are everywhere. 27 Fr example, Stevia is a ppular sugar substitute (代替者) because it is up t 200 times sweeter than sugar and prvides fewer calries. Mnk fruit is anther example that is free frm calries, sweeter than table sugar, and gained frm the juice f mnk fruit. 28 Sugar alchls prvide fewer calries than regular sugar because they are nt fully absrbed by the bdy.
Nw that we knw sme f the cmmn types f alternative sweeteners, let’s take a deeper dive int the prblem with them. Research in animals has shwn that remving calries frm fds that taste sweet can interrupt the ability t cntrl energy intake. 29 If we cnsume high amunts f alternative sweeteners, it may heighten ur preference fr sweetness, resulting in the veruse f sugar-sweetened fds and drinks.
The ther interesting thing abut alternative sweeteners is that ur brains dn’t recgnize them as “fake (假的)” sugar. 30 Whenever a fd tastes sweet, a message is sent t the brain that cmmunicates we are tasting a sweet fd — which can further feed int the sugar dependence cycle.
S what d I recmmend? In rder t fully put a definite end t sugar dependence, reducing yur intake f alternative sweeteners shuld be the gal.
A. The taste prfile f alternative sweeteners varies.
B. We can’t frget abut the ever-s-ppular sugar alchls
C. There are cuntless alternative sweeteners n the market.
D. Our brain senses smething sweet and thinks it is real sugar.
E. They may help reduce the calrie cntent f gd-tasting fds and drinks.
F. Artificial sweeteners may als cause ne’s bdy t prefer sweeter-tasting fds.
G. Alternative sweeteners are referred t as “lw-calrie” r “n-calrie” sweeteners.
