Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd,the long-time social service professional had put out a call on herb log. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family， she sent a wind chime（风铃）with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
This is not the first time that Della has decided to give gifts for her birthday. For her 47th,in 2016,she founded Love in Action, an organization committed to doing something good near her home and beyond. Its aim is simple: Do Your Best, Show Your Love!
Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Della's blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.
Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs ,and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like 'YESSS!'” It's Della's party, and she'll give if she wants to.

海狸以建造水坝而闻名。海狸咬断树木以获取建筑材料，还利用树枝、植被、岩石和泥土建造水坝和住所。
海狸筑坝是为了保持安全，当海狸在陆地上时，它们非常笨拙和脆弱，但它们是优秀的游泳者，可以屏住呼吸10到15分钟。通过建造大坝，它们创造了一个安全区。
此外，海狸在水坝后面挖掘了广泛的运河网络，以分散水。
海狸水坝还造福了许多其他物种。海狸水坝有助于减缓水流，使水在陆地上停留的时间更长。这将简单的溪流转变为繁荣的湿地生态系统。湿地中丰富的食物和水使它们成为许多不同物种的理想栖息地，有助于减少气候变化的影响。

Beavers（海狸），like humans，change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from endemics. Dams also slow water＇s flow while blocking sediment（沉积物）that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.
Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.
Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.
To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a “beaver baffle”- a pond leveler. Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams. Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.
People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event-putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling. “We cover the trees we don't want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,” said Jones. “We need to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth's resources.”
Swallow Pond's 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.

Some bacteria（细菌）have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light， just as plants do. Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria（蓝藻菌）to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn't survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface - a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.
Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic（生物电子的） mushroom combines 3D printing， conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.
Like plants， cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight，releasing electrons（电子）. When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.
The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface. Jackson's team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.
Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge.3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.
The researchers printed two “inks” onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also, used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.
Then it was time to shine.
“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,” says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.

Home gardens produce delicious food. But that's not their main virtue.
Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe.36 The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape.37
Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals 38 They mistake the product for the purpose.
Actually，a garden， especially in the early years， can produce little but frustration（挫败感）. New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad. 39 No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile- is in the work itself. A gardener's memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.

Over the years, the organization has reached out and touched well over 100 strangers, some found via Della's blog, others with help from her grandkids. The organization also shares inexpensive and creative gift ideas for others to help people in need.
Della pays for everything herself: gift cards, pay-it-forward purchases at drive-throughs ,and care packages, as well as the gas it takes to play fairy. Her family often gives her some extra birthday cash with a serious warning against spending it on anyone else, which she naturally ignores. “I got a couple of gift cards for my birthday this year and was like 'YESSS!'” It's Della's party, and she'll give if she wants to.
Della Steward got the standard well-wishes on her blog on her 53rd birthday, but she got some unusual messages too. One was about the Smith family who had just lost their four-year-old son to cancer. His older brother was in deep sorrow. Could Della help
24.What were the unusual messages Della got on her 53rd birthday
A.Help requests. B. Gift ideas.
C.Donation offers. D. Birthday wishes.
That message and the 30 or so others like it were exactly what Della was looking for. To celebrate her 53rd, the long-time social service professional had put out a call on herb log. She wanted to commit 53 random acts of kindness by the end of her birth month, and she needed information on people who could use one. When she got the note about the Smith family， she sent a wind chime（风铃）with the message “Listen to the wind and know that I am near” written on it. It now hangs in the four-year-old's bedroom, where his older brother can go to listen to it whenever he wants.
25. What can we learn about Della from her gift to the Smith family
A.She is caring and brave. B.She is loving and helpful.
C.She is patient and romantic. D.She is creative and determined.

海狸以建造水坝而闻名。海狸咬断树木以获取建筑材料，还利用树枝、植被、岩石和泥土建造水坝和住所。
海狸筑坝是为了保持安全，当海狸在陆地上时，它们非常笨拙和脆弱，但它们是优秀的游泳者，可以屏住呼吸10到15分钟。通过建造大坝，它们创造了一个安全区。
此外，海狸在水坝后面挖掘了广泛的运河网络，以分散水。
海狸水坝还造福了许多其他物种。海狸水坝有助于减缓水流，使水在陆地上停留的时间更长。这将简单的溪流转变为繁荣的湿地生态系统。湿地中丰富的食物和水使它们成为许多不同物种的理想栖息地，有助于减少气候变化的影响。

Beavers（海狸），like humans，change their surroundings to fit their needs. Known as nature’s engineers, they tear trees down to build homes to live in and dams to raise water levels for protection from endemics. Dams also slow water＇s flow while blocking sediment（沉积物）that would otherwise flow downstream. The resulting wetlands often attract wildlife diversity where none had existed. There are challenges, though. Beaver dams sometimes cause flooding, and most people prefer trees alive and upright.
Communities face a delicate balancing act, learning to coexist with beavers. Last winter, many people enjoying Winston Path became beaver fans as one furry family transformed Swallow Pond into an oasis for birds, frogs, turtles and deer.
Yet such activity caused concern. As beavers worked, they raised water levels about five feet. The increased depth allows beavers to survive underwater if the pond ices over. But county officials were concerned about how higher water would affect the soil bank supporting Winston Path.
To find a good balance between protecting the path and the beavers, the county introduced a “beaver baffle”- a pond leveler. Beavers often rush to fill holes in their dams. Baffles stabilize water levels by creating a hidden exit for high water to escape through the dam, unnoticed by the beavers.
People love the beavers but they also love the mature trees. Recently, Catherine Jones,18, organized a tree-caging event-putting wire cloth around large tree trunks to discourage beavers from biting them. It also protects people from injury due to random trees falling. “We cover the trees we don't want them to eat, while planting periodically others they like,” said Jones. “We need to learn to give up a little of our wants to share the Earth's resources.”
Swallow Pond's 2023 project will restore proper water depth and improve wildlife habitat without creating problems for the path. The balancing act continues.

Some bacteria（细菌）have a superpower that scientists would love to use. These bacteria gain energy from light， just as plants do. Scientists have wanted to use cyanobacteria（蓝藻菌）to make electricity. But in previous research, they didn't survive long on artificial surfaces. Researchers have now moved them to a living surface - a mushroom. Their creation is the first mushroom to make electricity.
Applied Physicist Simon Jackson and his team turned that mushroom into a mini energy farm. This bionic（生物电子的） mushroom combines 3D printing， conductive ink and bacteria to generate electricity. Its design could lead to new ways of combining nature with electronics.
Like plants， cyanobacteria make their own food from sunlight，releasing electrons（电子）. When enough electrons build up in one place, they can create an electric current.
The researchers needed to bring a lot of these bacteria together. They decided to use 3D printing to place them precisely onto a surface. Jackson's team chose mushrooms for that surface. After all, they realized, mushrooms naturally host communities of bacteria and other microbes. Finding test subjects for their tests was easy. Jackson simply went to the grocery store and picked up white button mushrooms.
Printing on those mushrooms, though, turned out to be a real challenge.3D printers have been designed to print on flat surfaces, but mushroom caps are curved. The researchers spent months writing computer code to solve the problem. Eventually, they came up with a program to 3D print their ink onto the curved mushroom tops.
The researchers printed two “inks” onto their mushrooms. One was a green ink made of cyanobacteria. They used this to make a spiral pattern on the cap. They also, used a black ink made of graphene, which is great at conducting electricity. They printed this ink in a branching pattern across the mushroom top.
Then it was time to shine.
“Cyanobacteria are the real heroes here,” says Jackson. When his team shone light on the mushrooms, the bacteria gave out electrons. Those electrons flowed into the graphene and created an electric current.

Home gardens produce delicious food. But that's not their main virtue.
Imagine a plate holding two strawberries, identical in appearance. One came out of a super-market box, probably harvested unripe.36 The other was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten. The first one will probably taste like a slightly sour grape while the second is likely to be sweet and rich in flavour.
Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages. They are convenient and available in the northern globe even in February. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in a concert hall differs from listening to it on an old tape.37
Other people, however, believe gardening a waste of time. But the same could be said of cooking. There are cheap and decent restaurants around, so why bother to make your own meals 38 They mistake the product for the purpose.
Actually，a garden， especially in the early years， can produce little but frustration（挫败感）. New gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Rabbits have an annoying habit of taking single bites of vegetable, then leaving the rest to go bad. 39 No matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile- is in the work itself. A gardener's memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long afternoons with hands in the dirt.
