In a world where imagination knows no bounds, every child deserves the chance to embark on countless adventures simply by turning the pages of a book. But in Rajasthan 40% of the students in both public and private schools do not have access to books at their grade level.
Srishti Parihar wanted to address this gap. As a storyteller and writer, Srishti understands firsthand the transformative(改变的)power of books. Storybooks influenced her life a lot when she was growing up. Her love for reading was the reason she was able to do something with her life.
Srishti joined in volunteer work, which helped provide children with access to books, when she learned the children in some schools didn’t have a library to read books. Then Srishti soon started a page, moved to Instagram and formed a strong “Bookstagram” community, where she called on her friends and family to donate books. It was on the platforms that they found a group of people who really understood and supported the cause. Gradually, it grew into a mature initiative that included a library programme for rural and remote schools. This library programme worked to increase children’s reading levels and develop an active relationship with books. They arranged many storytelling sessions, which centered on new perspectives(视觉)and creative thinking, helping the children develop important life skills.
Just a few months later, the children began to show great changes in their attitudes to study and interactions with one another. The group’s community libraries in cities like Kota, Jaipur, and Delhi, each housing more than 5,000 books, have welcomed 232 new members. As they continue to grow. they remain devoted to empowering children everywhere, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to discover new possibilities through reading.

It’s a pleasant summer morning. Trees stand in the breeze. Insects fly among the branches. Everything seems calm and peaceful. But don’t be fooled. These trees are actually under attack due to hungry insects. The trees can’t hide or run away, but they have ways to fight back and even aid each other. As soon as a leaf is chewed(咀嚼), the tree organizes defenses first. It then quickly messages its neighbors and even calls on other insects for help.
All of this happens in ways we don’t see. But scientists are learning that plants can do many things. we associate with thinking. Could these abilities mean plants are intelligent Researchers are working to get to the root of what’s going on when plants act in ways we once thought only animals could.
In the 1980s, botanists first found signs that plants communicate with each other. In one early experiment, hurt trees seemed to warn their neighbors of danger. Some people described this as plants “talking” to each other.
Since then, scientists have shown this communication can be fairly complex(复杂的). Plants respond better to messages from close relatives than to unrelated ones. It’s something Rick Karban has shown. He studies how plants and insects interact. Work by his group shows plants can tell one attacker from another. They send different signals depending on what type of insect is attacking.
Plants can even use more than one “language”. A team in Tel Aviv, Israel, recorded clicks and pops made by plants under stress. The sounds varied across plant species and type of stress, such as drought and being cut. Although roughly as loud as human speech, they’re too high for people to hear. Other animals, however, such as bats, mice and insects, might be able to hear them, the researchers note. There’s a lot of evidence that plants respond to sounds. Other work suggests that plants can learn and even remember. One famous study used a plant called Mimosa pudica. When the researchers shook the plants, they curled their leaves right away. But when dropped again, they didn’t curl them. Researchers concluded that the plant had known that the drop wasn’t going to hurt them.
8.What’s the first response of the attacked tree
A.Fighting back. B.Seeking help.
C.Hiding its leaves. D.Messaging other trees.
9.What did Rick Karban’s team find
A.Trees warn their neighbors of danger.
B.Trees avoid talking to distant relatives.
C.Trees can use more than one language.
D.Trees can make out different attackers.
10.Why is Mimosa pudica mentioned in the last paragraph
A.To prove plants’ ability to learn.
B.To tell us plants suffer from stress.
C.To show plants can produce loud sounds.
D.To explain plants react to various attackers.
11.What’s the best title of the text
A.Can Plants Talk B.Are Plants Intelligent
C.Can Plants Attack Insects D.Are Insects Harmful to Plants
D
American consumers are projected to spend roughly $960 billion this holiday season. But retailers (零售商)expect returns to account for almost 20 percent of those sales. That return wave arises mainly because people tend to make a lot of mistakes when giving presents, says Julian Givi, a marketing expert and psychologist who has been studying gifting practices.
Giving good gifts may not seem like a research-worthy topic. But positive gift exchanges can help businesses struggling to deal with amounts of returns as well as improve social relationships. Most importantly, giving better gifts could take pressure off the environment. By one estimate, in 2020, some 2.6 million tons of returned products in the United States wound up in a landfill.
Most of these studies were also done in the U. S. and U. K. The studies centered on the cultural factor. For instance, we often give the gifts around the holidays. But what we find is that recipients(接受者)actually prefer emotional gifts more than what givers anticipate. But if in a culture where you are going to get laughed at for giving an emotional gift, then I would say you won’t give a similar gift. However, the limitation on this body of research work is that it’s focused on adults. It’s a lot easier to get approval to do research on people who are 18 and older.
Gift givers tend to focus on that “aha” moment, the moment when the ribbons and bow come off. Recipients focus more on long-term functions. Research shows that people are misguided on how much surprise is important. However, recipients actually like things that they request better.
It had been assumed that gift givers were simply motivated by a desire to please recipients. Actually, people often give gifts that satisfy their own desires rather than the desires of recipients. In other words, people would be a whole lot better at giving gifts if they could just get their sense of their own worth out of the way. Therefore, a better gift giver should take what recipients really want into consideration.
12.What does the author think is the most important significance of giving better gifts
A.Promoting products. B.Improving social relationships.
C.Reducing environmental harm. D.Bettering communication skills.
13.How does the author explain the cultural factor of giving gifts
A.By listing data. B.By making comparisons.
C.By asking questions. D.By giving examples.
14.What does the underlined word “aha” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Annoying. B.Disappointing.
C.Amazing. D.Moving.
15.What’s the advice for a better gift giver
A.Buying high quality items.
B.Meeting gift givers’ desire.
C.Sending multi-functional gifts.
D.Stressing recipients’ preference.

19 Combine other activities with your running routine to improve muscle endurance, build strength and keep you injury-free. Weight training, yoga and swimming are all good choices. You can include I to 2 hours of other training into your running volume.
Listen to your body and make adjustments. 20 Even small changes in your breathing can be a sign to slow down or speed up. Tightness, pain, and discomfort are all signs to slow down, change your form, or stop and recover.
A.Improve your running form.
B.Go on running 1 or 2 miles every day.
C.Add other exercise forms to your running routine.
D.Your body gives you important signs when running.
