Lorraine Caley, who founded her mushroom growing company in 2018, will be showcasing her oyster mushrooms at the exhibition hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society after more and more people expressed an interest in growing fungi (真菌)．
She and her sister, Jodie Bryan, started growing mushrooms at home as they could not find the more special varieties in their local supermarket.“We physically couldn't get the mushrooms we wanted to eat.We changed our diet because our dad was unwell.We wanted to expand from the button mushroom，” says Caley.
“We'd seen this stuff online and started growing it for ourselves.But we had so much demand that people's curiosity forced us to start making our own kits.We also supplied fresh mushrooms to anyone who wanted their own kits to grow them at home.It's been phenomenal.The direction it's taken us in is far beyond anything we ever imagined.”
The sisters use coffee grounds as a substrate (培养基) and grow fungi (真菌) from wood.Fungi add interest to a garden and benefit the soil.“You can take your kit and put it in the garden where it will then get you more nutrients for your soil，” said Caley.“We've installed an outside mushroom bed, and nine different mushrooms can be grown in seven different mediums.We were trying to encourage people with space outside to go outside, but you can also put a couple of logs on your balcony.Or if you've got a small flat, you can grow in your kitchen as well.”
Taking soil health into consideration is also in vogue, and fungi are crucial for this.Under the ground, the fungi create a living network called a mycelium.It improves the soil by breaking down natural waste and moving it into the earth, making it richer.It also attracts worms, which loosen the soil and support its biodiversity.

B．It needs professional gardening tools.
C．It suits people with limited living space.
D．It depends on regular sunlight exposure.
7．How do fungi improve soil quality

B．By generating oxygen during their growth.
C．By killing off all the harmful bacteria in the soil.
D．By decomposing organic matter to release nutrients.

One day in 1996, someone ate a chicken burger in Amsterdam.Perhaps a quick bite after work A family outing These details are lost to time, but others are hard to erase completely.The meal left a permanent mark on the local environment when a Eurasian coot (白冠鸡) found the discarded burger wrapper and decided to use it to line its nest, where it remained.
“It really shows that it's not just us humans who are writing history, but also these birds are taking notes and documenting our throwaway society，” said the nest biologist Auke Florian Hiemstra, who has been researching the influence of the Anthropocene era on birds' nests in Amsterdam's canals.When investigating nests in the canals, he found a variety of old packaging discarded from the early 1990s up to last year.
The Eurasian coot only started migrating to Amsterdam in the late 1980s, and Hiemstra's findings of packaging from 1994 could show the entire lifespan and heritage of the species in the area.
While a bird's nest is usually made from twigs (细枝) and moss, the abundance of plastics has been helpful for birds in the city where natural items are in short supply.Hiemstra said there would likely be a return of natural nests if people focused on re greening cities and bringing natural water vegetation back, but in the meantime, the birds were successfully working with what they had.
“For the coots, our litter is not a waste product but something very valuable.Finding these materials that were littered 30 years ago, yet they look as fresh as they were just littered yesterday, really gave me the chills.I really hope we can learn something from the birds to re evaluate how we think about our materials.These plastics are a wonderful material, yet we use them for single use and throw them away，” Hiemstra said.
8．What does the burger wrapper in the coot's nest indicate
A．The durability of fast food packaging.
B．Birds' preference for colorful materials.
C．The long lasting impact of litter on animals.
D．Birds' adaptation to a worsening environment.
9．Which of the following best describes the birds in Amsterdam
A．Pioneering nest builders. B．Witnesses to urbanization.
C．Victims of plastic pollution. D．Resourceful waste recyclers.
10．What do the coots remind people to do according to Hiemstra
A．Clear up the canals. B．Protect bird habitats.
C．Reuse plastics wisely. D．Expand green space.
11．What is the best title for the text
A．Plastic Waste: A Hidden Threat to Birds
B．Bird Nests: A Mirror of Throwaway Culture
C．Eurasian Coots: A Creative Architect in Nature
D．Man made Items: A Silent Driver of Nest Changes

I'm in a meeting when my phone starts to flash with notifications.While the meeting is important, I'm distracted and want to pick up the phone to find out more.Is it a new job announcement from a friend Something terrible has happened Every second I'm not sending a message, I'm being a bad friend.I become anxious, and I'm praying the meeting ends sooner.
It is the emotional rollercoaster ride of being a modern group chat member, and I'm not alone in these feelings.Research conducted by Three found 50% of British adults struggle to keep up with the speed of these virtual conversations and feel pressured.But why exactly does this occur
“When I'm busy and see a ton of messages coming through, I get stressed that I'm missing something big，” says Jasmine, 31.“Not participating in a group chat can also be overwhelming because then you've got loads to catch up on and it's turned from reading just one or two messages to a short story.”
Besides being overwhelming, there's a lack of real connection, too.“Group chats can make us feel like we're surrounded by people, yet still somehow on the outside，” says psychotherapist Abby Rawlinson.“If everyone is chatting and you're not part of the flow — or your message gets no replies — it can awaken the quiet ache of invisibility.”
For Madhura, 31, this has felt particularly exasperating at times.“I find messaging in group chats can make you feel like you're not quite on the same page.Group chats can turn friendly jokes into hurtful messages.A group chat may be used to gossip about a friend who's not there.Leaving a group chat can also feel like you're creating an opportunity for those who are left to gossip about you，” Madhura says.
“Texting is such a ‘thin’ form of communication.In person, you have tone of voice, facial expressions, and eye contact — all the rich human signals that help us interpret meaning.On a screen, you just get the words themselves，” Rawlinson explains.“So don't fall into a pit of self criticism when a message goes without a reply.Group chats can't truly measure your friendships.They're just a tool to stay connected.”

A．Group chats block in depth talks.
B．Group chats break up friendships.
C．Group chats bring negative emotions.
D．Group chats disturb the work life balance.
