Scientific educational toys can develop kid’s reasoning, problem-solving and critical thinking capacity and improve their hand-eye coordination (协调). But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best:
·Science Kit
You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments.
·Mini Terra Kit
You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids.
·Gravity Run
This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures.
·WeRo Kit
This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults.

Sometimes a book comes along that isn’t just “interesting” or “well done”— it’s a book where it seems like the author looked into your brain and wrote a book specifically for you. A book like that for me was released this week. It’s called 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, written by editor Pamela Paul.
Paul lists 100 things we used to do that the Internet has either changed or taken over completely: writing letters, print newspapers, the joys of being bored, and hot having all the knowledge in the world in your pocket.
As I’m a longtime accumulator of random knowledge, certain entries on the list—Being the Only One, Figuring Out Who That Actor is—hit me where live; remembering detailed facts is no longer nearly as impressive when everyone has the capability to find the answer in seconds.
On and on the list goes, with every minor shift adding to the pile. What this book does so well is illustrate the growth of that pile; while any individual item might be no big deal, the collected set is significant. It’s a list of ways in which the world now is different from the world then.
Obviously, Paul isn’t saying that everything back then was better. Time marches on, after all. and it’s tough to argue against the many benefits that the Internet has brought into our lives. But that isn’t really the point. It’s not about whether it used to be better. It’s that it used to be different.
100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet is a fun read for those of us who share some of Paul’s memories and experiences. We remember what it was like and we like to remember. The landscape has shifted, and no doubt it will shift again as technology’s advancement continues apace. This book serves as a reminder of the simple truth that when gains are made, sometimes something is lost.
4. What is the purpose of the text
A. To review and recommend a good read.
B. To comment on the effect of the Internet.
C. To argue for the viewpoint of a new book.
D. To urge the readers to value what they have.

A. Maps and Eye Contact.
B. E-pay and Compact Disks.
C. Postcards and Homeschooling
D. Bad Photos and Washing Machines.

A. Prove what I’m good at.
B. Introduce how I grew up.
C. Describe the place I live in.
D Speak out what is on my mind.
7. What conclusion has the author drawn after reading Paul’s book
A. Things in the past are better.

Discoveries at the famous Sanxingdui ruins in Southwest China show that the region’s ancient Shu Kingdom Civilization shared similarities with the Maya.
The Sanxingdui ruins belonged to the Shu Kingdom that existed at least 4,800 years ago and lasted more than 2,000 years, while the Mayan civilization built its city-states around 200 AD.
The bronze-made remains of tress unearthed at the ruins of the Shu Kingdom resemble the sacred ceiba tree, which symbolized the union of heaven, earth and the underworld in the Mayan civilization. “They are very important similarities,” says Santos, a Mexican archaeologist (考古学家) stressing that “the representations of tress in both cultures provide a symbolism that is very similar”.
The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins, considered one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century, also show a new aspect of Bronze Age culture, indicating the ancient civilization already had technologies that were thought to have been developed much later.
While the lime span between the Shu kingdom and the Mayan culture is great, the findings highlight the closeness between the two civilizations. They developed in areas with comparable climates and reflected their worldview through related symbols. “In the end, man is still man, independent of time and space. What we have is that, at this latitude (纬度), both the Shu people and the Mayans looked at the same sky and had the same stars on the horizon,” the expert says.
One notable feature of the recent discoveries at Sanxingdui was the cross-subject work and technology applied by teams of Chinese archaeologists, which allowed the unearthing of artifacts as fragile as silk remains, which other types of less careful digging methods would not have been able to register.
Cooperation between Chinese and Mexican archaeologists could benefit projects in the Mayan world, where the rainy climate and humidity are problematic for the conservation of ruins.
“Every time our cultural knowledge increases, regardless of whether we speak one language or another, what it shows us is that we continue to be sister cultures and, therefore, the exchange of such knowledge is fundamental,” says Santos.
8. What is a similarity between the Shu Kingdom and Maya civilization
A. Their starting time.
B. Their historical origins.
C. Their cultural symbols.
D. Their ceremony traditions.
9. The findings at the Sanxingdui ruins have proved that ______.
A. silk was a common clothing material then
B. some technologies were developed much earlier
C. the Bronze Age started earlier than previously assumed
D. the Shu Kingdom and the Mayan world had close contact
10. What is a common challenge for the conservation of both ruins
A. Damp weather. B. Positioning of ruins.
C. High latitude. D. Language barriers.
11. What is the focus of Santos quote in the last paragraph
A. The future of the China-Mexico cooperation.
B. The benefits of speaking a different language.
C. The importance of the exchange of cultural knowledge.
D. The increasing sisterhood in culture between China and Mexico.
D
Several years ago, Jason Box, a scientist from Ohio, flew 31 giant rolls of white plastic to a glacier (冰川) in Greenland. He and his team spread them across 10,000 feet of ice, then left. His idea was that the white blanket would reflect back the rays of the sun, keeping the ice cool below. When he came back to check the results, he found it worked. Exposed ice had melted faster than covered ice. He had not only saved two feet of glacier in a short time. No coal plants were shut down, no jobs were lost, and nobody was taxed or fired. Just the sort of fix we’re looking for.
“Thank you, but no thank you.” says Ralph King, a climate scientist. He told Grey Childs. author and commentator, that people think technology can save the planet, “but there are other things we need to deal with, like consumption. They burned $50,000 just for the helicopter” to bring the plastic to the glacier. This experiment, quote-unquote, gives people false hope that climate change can be fixed without changing human behavior. It can’t. Technology won’t give us a free ride.
Individuals respond to climate change differently. Climatologist Kelly Smith is hardly alone in her prediction that someday soon we won’t be climate victims, we will be climate Choosers. More scientists agree with her that if the human race survives. The engineers will get smarter, the tools will get better, and one day we will control the climate. but that then “Just the mention of us controlling the climate sent a small shiver down my back, Grey writes.” “Something sounded wrong about stopping ice by our own will,” he says.
Me I like it better when the earth takes care of itself I guess one day we will have to run the place, but for the moment, sitting at my desk, looking out at the trees bending wildly and the wind howling, I’m happy not to be in charge.
12. Why does the author mention Jason Box’s experiment in the first paragraph
A. To introduce a possible solution to climate change.
B To describe a misleading attempt to fix the climate.
C. To report on a successful experiment on saving the glacier.
D. To arouse people’s attention to the problem of global warming.
13. Which statement would Ralph King most probably agree with
A. The fight against climate change will not succeed.
B. Technology is not the final solution, let alone its high cost.
C. It’s best to deal with climate change without changing our behavior.
D. Jason’s experiment plays a significant role in fixing climate change.
14. What is Grey Childs’s attitude to human’s controlling the climate
A. Favorable B. Tolerant C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. But should we fix the climate
B. Is climate change a real problem
C. How can we take care of the earth
D. What if all the glaciers disappeared

Amazing Train Journeys
The Beijing to Lhasa Express, China
Departs daily; Distance—2,330 miles; Duration—40 hours
Linking the royal wonders of Beijing with the dreamlike palaces of Lhasa, the Z21 train travels from the modernity of urban China to a once-remote land. Running westward, the train climbs nearly 16,400 ft (5,000 m) on its journey to the roof of the world: the Tibetan Plateau.
London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper UK
Departs daily; Distance—509 miles; Duration—13 hours 30 minutes
This overnight train journey is filled with the romance of rail travel. It’s just a pity that the whole experience—from dining-car chatting and light beer, to being carried into a la-la land by the rhythm of the rails and waking to bedside views of towering peaks—feels like it’s over in a flash. Though it may be short, the Caledonian is surely Britain’s best train ride.
Tazara Railway, Tanzania and Zambia
Departs twice a week; Distance—1,160 miles; Duration—46 hours
Few trains offer the chance of spotting big game from your seat, but the Tazara Railway does exactly that. For many, the highlight is neither the scenery nor the wildlife, though; it’s the chance to spend two days watching everyday life out of the window, and enjoying the crowds and chaos when the train pulls to a stop.
Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway, Peru
Departs twice a week; Distance—241 miles; Duration—10 hours
Traveling across the Altiplano, from the shores of Lake Titicaca to the beating heart of the Inca capital, the railway from Puno to Cuzco cuts a picturesque path through the snow-dusted peaks and fantastic valleys of the Andes. Passengers can enjoy the landscape from an open-air observatory car, as they travel through remote towns and villages.
1. What do the first two train journeys have in common
A. They make weekly departure. B. They are over a thousand miles.
C. They travel to highlands. D. They are the longest train rides nationwide.
2. On which journey can passengers watch people’s daily life outside the train
A. Tazara Railway. B. The Beijing to Lhasa Express.
C. Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway. D. London to Fort William on the Caledonian Sleeper.
3. What can passengers do on Perurail’s Lake Titicaca Railway
A. Travel around Lake Titicaca. B. Admire the view in the open air.
C. Go through two countries on a journey. D. Have a deep understanding of towns and villages.
B
A hungry badger (獾) searching for food seems to have uncovered what turned out to be hundreds of Roman coins in a Spanish cave, according to a new study.
Archaeologists (考古学家) first discovered several coins laying on the ground at the entrance to a small cave in the woodlands outside Grado in northern Spain in April 2021. The researchers suspect that the coins were unearthed by a badger from a nearby den (兽窝) after a heavy snow which made it harder for animals to find food. The hungry badger probably got into the cave looking for food but came across the coins instead.
After fully exploring the cave, researchers collected 209 coins dating to between the third and fifth centuries A.D. “To date, this is the largest amount of Roman coins found in n cave in northern Spain,” the researchers wrote in their paper. They described the discovery as an “exceptional find”.
In the late 1930s, a collection of 14 gold Roman coins, known as the Chapipi treasure, was also found in the same woodlands. The researchers believe that local people may have buried their coins to keep them safe during a period of intense political instability in the region. The most recent coin in the newly-discovered Grado collection dates to A.D. 430, which was after the Suebi—a group of Germanic people originally from modern-day Germany and the Czech Republic—pushed the Romans out of Spain in A.D. 409, according to El Pais.
The researchers suspect that the newly-discovered coins are part of a vaster treasure and will return to the cave for further exploration to look for more coins and evidence that the cave may also have been the home of displaced Roman people. “We want to know if it was a one-off hiding place, or if there was a group of humans living there,” lead researcher Alfonso Fanjul Peraza told El Pais.
4. Where did the researchers find the first few coins in 2021
A. Near a Spanish cave. B. On a Spanish playground.
C. At the entrance to a woodland. D. In a badger’s den.
5. What do the researchers think of the discovery in 2021
A. It’s dangerous. B. It’s timely. C. It’s meaningless. D. It’s unusual.
6. What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4
A. The Romans. B. The coins. C. The woodlands. D. The researchers.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A More information may be revealed by the coins.
B. The ancient Roman people had a unique lifestyle.
C. The researchers doubt the former guess of the coins.
D. The researchers will return the coins to the Roman people.
C
It’s an attractive idea: by playing online problem-solving, matching and other games for a few minutes a day, people can improve such mental abilities as reasoning, verbal skills (语言能力) and memory. But whether these games deliver on those promises is up for debate. “For every study that finds some evidence, there’s an equal number of papers that find no evidence,” says Bobby Stojanoski, a cognitive (认知的) psychologist at Western University in Ontario.
Recently, in perhaps the biggest real-world study of these programs, Stojanoski and his team found 8,563 volunteers. First, participants filled out an online questionnaire about their training habits and which, if any, program they used. Some 1,009 participants reported using brain training programs for about eight months on average, though durations ranged from two weeks to more than five years. Next, the volunteers completed 12 cognitive tests assessing memory, reasoning and verbal skills. They faced memory exercises, spatial reasoning tasks, pattern-finding puzzles and strategy challenges.
When researchers looked at the results, they saw that brain trainers on average had no mental edge over the other group in memory, verbal skills and reasoning. Even among those who had used training programs for at least 18 months, brain training didn’t boost thinking abilities above the level of people who didn’t use the programs.
“No matter how we sliced the data, we were unable to find any testimony that brain training was associated with cognitive abilities,” says Stojanoski. That held true whether the team analyzed participants by age, program used, education or socioeconomic status (地位)—all were cognitively similar to the group who didn’t use the programs.
“Brain training may be beneficial in specific situations, but real world may be the best brain trainer,” says Elizabeth Stine-Morrow, a cognitive aging scientist at the University of Illinois. While it’s possible to improve mental abilities, Stine-Morrow advocates practicing those skills in different real-life situations, “That’s a much better use of one’s time than sitting at a computer and doing little tasks.”
8. What is the recent study mainly about
A. The importance of memory. B. The dark side of online games.
C. The effect of brain training games. D. The way to improve mental abilities.
9. What were the volunteers asked to do in the first part of the study
A. Report their daily habits. B. Take some memory tests.
C. Receive some online training. D. Complete a questionnaire.
10. What does the underlined word “testimony” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Enhancement. B. Evidence. C. Solution. D. Trouble.
11. What does Stine Morrow say about mental abilities
A. They need to be trained regularly. B. They’ll be harmed by using computers.
C. They may change in different situations. D. They’ll be improved through real-life tasks.
D
To tackle the problem of tiny plastics polluting waterways, chemists in the Czech Republic are thinking small. Their brainchild is a new microrobot which is no bigger than the tip of a sharpened pencil. When sunlight hits them, they produce chemical reactions that push them through water in a specific direction. When they find a piece of plastic, they stick to it and start to break it down.
Chemist Martin Pumera at the Czech University led the project. A decade ago, he chose to focus on the problem posed by microplastics. They’re everywhere—from the bottom of the ocean to air blowing onto ice atop mountains. They’ve turned up in drinking water. Some studies estimate that billions of pieces of plastic end up in the world’s waters. The plastic has many sources, from shopping bags to washing and cleaning wipes.
In lab experiments, the star-shaped swimmers stuck onto each of four different types of plastic. And after a week exposed to light, the robots had reduced the weight of the plastics. It wasn’t much—only by percent. But that was an indication that they were breaking the plastic down. They also caused the surface of the plastic to change from smooth to rough. That’s another sign that the robots were degrading (分解) it. The new study is a proof of concept type. That means it shows something can be done successfully.
In fact, Pumera says they still have a long way to go. There are many types of plastics. And even these microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading them all. The researchers also have not yet shown how safe this system is for the environment, although Pumera says that’s their next goal. The first real-world test will be in a wastewater-treatment plant. “Indeed,” says one researcher. “We’ll need a lot of testing to show that they’re safe in open waterways, such as at sea.”
12. The microrobots are powered by ______.
A. water B. sunlight C. plastics D. pencils
13. What does the author focus on in Paragraph 2
A. The purpose of Pumera’s project. B. The preciousness of drinking water.
C. The seriousness of plastic pollution. D. The working principle of the microrobots.
14. What shows the effectiveness of the microrobots in lab experiments
A. The weight loss of the plastics. B. The disappearance of the plastics.
C. The shape change of the microrobots. D. The improvement in the purity of water.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Ways to Obtain Cleaner Drinking Water B. Microrobots Invented to Treat Wastewater
C New Hope for the Solution to Plastic Pollution D. Technology Widely Applied in Environment Protection

Lucio Arreola is 50 years old, the father of three daughters and a bank manager in Puerto Rico. He is going to have a surprising Father’s Day this year. He finds just about every day surprising now. Arreola has a new heart, or at least, new to him. On April 20, doctors transplanted (移植) the heart of a dead 25-year-old man into him. Although he may never know the man’s identity, he and his family will always be grateful to him.
Arreola was told he had a heart muscle disease 15 years ago that weakened his breathing and circulation, so he went on a lot of medications. His wife and daughters worried about his health, while he worried about their happiness.
Lucio Arreola has been recovering from his heart transplant surgery at Houston Methodist over the past two months. “One day up, one day down,” he said. “Some days dark, some light. But what happens is that when the sun is out, you really feel it. Every breath is sweet. You see the trees and people. You hear your daughters laugh, and it’s like birds singing. You tell yourself, ‘There is no time in life for anything but love.’”
Liz Laguaite, a hospital music therapist, told Arreola and his family, “Why don’t you try to write a song together about what you’ve been through and what you’ve learned ” They decided to try. Lucio Arreola worried that illness might make his daughters see him as a delicate man. But instead of frailty, they mostly saw his courage to go on. And he said their love was like his own powerful heart muscle that gave him faith, hope and courage.
“My weak heart,” he said, “helped make them strong.”

A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks.
Engineers at the Beijing-based Hanwang Technology Ltd. say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks. A team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces.
Hanwang is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” recognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance cameras (监控摄像头).
“When wearing a mask, the recognition rate can reach about 95 percent, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang Lei, Hanwang’s vice president. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5 percent.
Huang said Hanwang’s technology can be used to identify and track people as they move about. He added the system can identify crime suspects, terrorists or make reports or warnings.
However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is tough,” Huang said.
It was not immediately clear how people were reacting to the new technology. While some have expressed opposition to such tools, many others seem to have showed interest in the new system and accepted it as a way to deal with the current health emergency — the spread of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒). Huang says he sees the interest likely expanding if the virus continues to spread and the use of face masks increases.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. Where the company is located. B. How the system is developed.
C. When the research work started. D. What the collection stands for.
9. What is the limitation of the new facial recognition system
A The poor storage of information.
B. The relatively low recognition rate.
C. Identifying people with both a mask and sunglasses.
D Tracking the movement of crime suspects and terrorists.
10. What attitude does Huang Lei hold towards the new technology
A. Unclear. B. Optimistic. C. Opposed. D. Worried.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A travel brochure. B. A health magazine.
C. A medical paper. D. A science report.
D
The Internet has become part of modern life, bringing convenient services to everyone who can connect. While it seems hard to live without the Internet, it also brings new problems. For example, individuals, organizations and even governments can become targets of cyber attacks.
The past week marked China's sixth annual Cybersecurity Week, held from Sept 16 to 22 nationwide. The opening ceremony and major activities were held in Tianjin. First launched in 2014, the event was designed to raise public awareness of the importance of fighting online threats and cyber attacks. The theme of this year's event is "cybersecurity for the people and by the people".
The leaking (泄露）of personal information now stands out. " Efforts should be made to raise people's sense of fulfillment, happiness and security in cyberspace," said President Xi Jinping in an instruction for the event. "The country will safeguard the security of personal information and citizens' legal rights and interests in cyberspace. According to a report from the 2017 China Internet Security Conference, more than 90 percent of Android smartphones for sale in China contained serious safety bugs. Such flaws (缺陷)allow hackers to control entire phones and obtain the users' passwords, bank information and more.
To protect personal information, China issued its first cybersecurity law in June 2017. One key part of this law is meant to protect personal information. It rules that network operators are not allowed to leak, change or damage the personal information they gather. They are also not allowed to give personal information to others freely.
Apart from China, issuing laws to protect personal information and prevent junk electronic information is a common practice in other countries.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To introduce the new Internet-based problems.
B. To show readers a new Internet-based trend.
C. To make a list of new cybercrimes online.
D. To call for protection of personal security.
13 What can be inferred from Paragraph 3
A. Android smartphones sales are on the decrease.
B. Personal data protection comes into focus.
C. Netizens are sensitive to online information.
D. Nearly all smartphones contain security flaws.
14. Who does China's first cybersecurity law mainly intend to regulate
A. Website designers. B. Illegal hackers.
C. Network operators. D. Internet-based companies.
15. What will be probably mentioned after the last paragraph
A. Foreign practices to safeguard cybersecurity.
B. Countries producing laws of national security.
C. Effective ways to deal with personal security.
D. Advice on how to avoid leaking personal data.

The American seafood staple of Maine lobster, or “lobsta” as they say in Maine, is becoming very popular on Asian dining tables. Maine lobsters were a featured course at last year’s state dinner when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the White House. Now, the creatures with claws are becoming a big export to Asia.
The lobster’s home is in the Atlantic Ocean, anywhere from Newfoundland in Canada to North Carolina in the United States. But nearly 90 percent of the fishery activity happens in the state of Maine.
And the prices for fresh lobster have risen to a higher level. “Three years ago, the price was mediocre. We averaged around $2. 50 to $3 per pound (or nearly half a kilogram) for the year,” said Chris Welch, a lobster boat captain. “This year, the price has been excellent. It’s better than I can remember in a lot of years. ”
During one morning, a lobster order was being prepared for shipment to Hong Kong. The biggest challenge in shipping was logistics. Shippers have only 36 hours from the time lobsters are packed until arrival in China. Any lobster arriving after that time loses quality.
American shellfish(水生有壳动物) exports have grown rapidly in recent years. More than 23,000 kilograms of that type of seafood is exported to Asia every week via air. “We primarily export lobsters to Asia; probably about 80 percent to China and the other 20 percent to some other Asian countries,” said lobster dealer Stephanie Nadeau. “The countries of Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Korea and Japan are big lobster fans,” he said.

Plastic recycling is a hot topic, But what's the real face behind if You diligently sort your rubbish; you dutifully wash your plastic container; then everything gets thrown in a landfill or in the ocean anyway, According to one aalyx1s, only 9% of all plastic ever made has likely been recycled. Here' the kicker: the companies making all that plastic have spent millions on advertising campaigns lecturing us about recycling while knowing full well that most plastic will never be recycled.
A new investigation by National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)reports that the large oil and gas companies that manufacture plastics have known for decades that recycling plastic was unlikely to ever happen on a broad scale because of the-high costs involved. "They were not interested in putting any real money or effort into recycling because they wanted to sell raw material, "Larry Thomas, former president of one of the plastic industry's most powerful trade groups, told NPR. There is a lot more money to be made in selling new plastic than reusing the old stuff. But, in order to keep selling new plastic, the industry had to clean up its wasteful image. "If the public thinks that recycling is working, then they are not going to be so concerned about the environment, "Thomas noted.
We have been successfully convinced that people start pollution and people can stop It and that if we just recycle more, the planet will be OK. To some degree, that s right there must be a level of personal responsibility when It comes to the climate emergency. We all have to do our part. But individual action is a tiny drop in a heavily polluted ocean. We need systematic change to make a real difference. And, more than anything, we need to change what we value.
28. According to the text, what does the underlined word "kicker" probably mean
A. A player who kicks the football.
B. An event that is controversial.
C. An action that is taken to start a plan quickly.
D. A discovery that is unpleasant and unexpected.
29. Which best describes Larry Thomas' opinion on plastic recycling
A. Plastic recycling is necessary and effective.
B. Large amounts of money are spent on recycling.
C. The companies try to promote the sales of new material.
D. The companies prefer to sell recycled material rather than new materials.
30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Most people have a sense of responsibility.
B. Plenty of rubbish is dropped into the ocean.
C. Fighting against pollution calls for joint efforts.
D. Systematic change was made to reduce pollution.
31. Which is probably the best title for the text
A. Plastic recycling: a trick in industries.
B. Plastic recycling: a benefit to the public.
C. Plastic recycling: a way to reduce pollution.
D. Plastic recycling: a popularity among people.

In November 2019, a scientist was sitting in the jungle of Gabon, watching a chimpanzee inspect her son's wounded foot. Suddenly, she quickly caught an insect out of the air, squeezed it in her mouth, and then put it carefully in the cut. In the months that followed, the scientists followed chimpanzees with a wound. Repeatedly, they saw them put insects into it-- applying, removing and reapplying them to the injury as If squeezing out the goodness.
They were, the scientists guessed, using the insects to medicate. "What we think Is that maybe they're mixing it with their saliva（唾液）and pressing something out of the insect", said Simone Pika, from the University of Osnabruck, in Germany. There are some substances that might have anti-inflammatory（消炎的）or pan-killing functions. "
The findings have been published in the journal Current Biology. It is the first time that such behavior has been documented in chimpanzees, although other apes have been known-to "self-medicate" using plants.
So far. the researchers haven't found out how chimpanzees formed such behavior. Pika thinks it is possible that the behavior developed by chance, perhaps because a chimpanzee rubbed an insect into a wound for fun but accidentally found T helped relieve the pain, or seemed to make it heal faster. Afterwards, others may have copied it.
Now Pika and her colleagues want to try to identify the insect and work out what it does. Another option, she admits, is that the insect makes no difference at all, and it is simply a cultural practice that has become fashionable. While it might seem odd that chimpanzees would rub insects into their wounds, we fail to judge whether it is helpful in healing the injuries.
32. Why did chimpanzees apply insects to wounds according to the scientists
A. For experiment. B. For amusement.
C. For physical growth. D. For medical treatment.
33 What does paragraph four mainly talk about
A. The effective cures for chimpanzees' injuries.
B. The possible explanation for chimpanzees' behavior.
C. The solutions for chimpanzees to prevent insect bites.
D The function of the insects to treat chimpanzees' wounds.
34. What is the author's attitude to the chimpanzees' behavior
A. Uncertain. B. Convinced. C Negative. D. Critical.
35. Which is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To persuade readers to care more about chimpanzees.
B. To inform readers of chimpanzees' strange behavior.
C. To tell readers insects can relieve pain and treat injuries.
D. To encourage readers to observe chimpanzees in the wild.
