If you spent any time in Ann Arbor during the summer over the last few years, you've probably come across some of artist David Zinn's sidewalk works;
Recently, sidewalk drawings from self-taught artist David Zin n have been popular since some of his works were shown on social media websites. Thanks to others' help, Zin n will now be bringing some of his favorite works into the homes of his fans. Earlier this month, Zin n successfully raised $30, 000 to publish an80-Page book of his works.
The chalk artist has become known for his brightly colored little creatures dotting the pavement.

One of his main characters is the green slug (鼻涕虫) he has named Sluggo. David has created loads of fun situations featuring the little green slug.
When asked why he drew in impossible places, he replied that our lives might not be as set and predictable as we thought they were. “The drawings have been the result of walking around until I come across a place that asks for something.” he said.
David's favorite chalk drawing experience happened at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival four years ago. He drew a strange-looking creature with a hole running through the middle of its stomach. He had no idea why he put the hole there; he was just drawing that while talking to kids.

This made the street artist very happy for reasons he could not entirely explain.

E-waste can be abandoned cell phones, laptops or really any other type of tech device that gets thrown away.
And according to recent data reports, the amount of electronic waste is reaching staggering heights, so much so that the capacity for recycling simply isn't enough. There's growing concern over the potential environmental issues that might be caused if we don't find a sufficient way to fight these growing piles of e-waste.
Many electronics thrown away have been sent to developing countries in Africa where they are being dismantled (拆开) and parts of them are reused. But this is just one electronic wasteland. An alarming new U. N. report says that since 2010, the amount of global e-waste has grown five times faster than it can be collected and recycled. According to the study, a record 62 million metric tons of e-waste was produced in2022. That's an increase of 82% from 2010. The world is on track to generate a whopping (巨大的) 82million tons of e-waste in 2030.
A high-level official with the International Telecommunication Union says the amount of e-waste is up to the manufacturers to make a difference by giving devices a longer life cycle. While some countries have carried out environmental regulations to tackle the problem, some are working on a more grassroots level. Places like the Fixing Factory in London are teaching consumers to make more sustainable choices.
28. What does the underlined word “staggering” mean
A. Shocking. B. Disappointing. C. Confusing. D. Frustrating.
29. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show
A. How challenging it is to deal with e-waste. B. How much the amount of global e-waste is.
C. How severe the situation of global e-waste is. D. How abandoned electronics have been dealt with.

A. Objective. B. Approving. C. Dismissive. D. Indifferent.
31. What may be the best title for the text
A. The serious consequence e-waste causes. B. The method of how to deal with e-waste.
C. The reason for the generation of e-waste. D. An introduction to e-waste.

We know that what we eat and drink has a significant impact on our health, and a new study has found another connection between drinking coffee and being less likely to develop Parkinson's disease.
Looking at data collected on 184, 024 individuals across an average of 13 years, the international team of researchers behind the study found that coffee consumers had a lower risk of getting Parkinson than those that didn't drink coffee at all.
This isn't the first study to find a link between coffee and Parkinson, but it goes further than previous research in the way it looks at biomarkers of caffeine intake years ahead of Parkinson's disease being diagnosed.
The top 25 percent of coffee drinkers were found to be 40 percent less likely to develop Parkinson, compared to those who didn't drink coffee at all. Across all coffee consumers in the study, the risk reduction measured varied between approximately 5 to 63 percent, depending on the country.
While the association still held when factors such as smoking and drinking were accounted for, it's still not enough to prove direct cause and effect. However, there does seem to be something about caffeine and its elements that is protecting people's brains.
Based on previous research, it's thought that the way caffeine keeps dopamine (多巴胺) flowing in the brain might be the reason for these effects. Parkinson in the brain is characterized by a reduction in dopamine, due to a loss of nerve cells.
Considering the way that caffeine hits our neurons, it's perhaps not surprising that there appears to be a relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. However, as we're still not sure how exactly Parkinson's gets started in the brain, it's difficult to be sure.
“Unraveling (解开) the biological action of caffeine on Parkinson's disease not only carries important public health implications but also enhances our understanding of Parkinson's disease etiology and fosters potential prevention strategies,” the researchers said.
32. How did the researchers carry out their study
A. By analyzing collected data. B. By comparing experiments.
C. By using previous research data. D. By comparing people in different fields.
33. What makes caffeine help protect against Parkinson's disease
A. It helps reduce the levels of dopamine in the brain.
B. It helps increase the flow of dopamine in the brain.
C. It helps reduce the production of nerve cells in the brain.
D. It helps increase the production of nerve cells in the brain.
34. Which statement about the new study is true
A. It is the first time to find a link between caffeine and Parkinson.
B. It has confirmed when Parkinson gets started.
C. It has proved the direct cause and effect of Parkinson.
D. It has a significant effect on public health.
35. Where is the text probably from
A. A news report. B. A detective story.
C. A science journal. D. A diet magazine.

Harry, the Wind is Blowing
Harry was afraid of the wind. It whistled under his door. It followed Harry home from the school bus. It blew off his hat. At night, it made the trees blowing in the woods near his house.
“How can anyone be afraid of the wind ” Someone laughed at Harry.
Harry's friend Antony didn't make fun of Harry. “You'll get over it, Harry, ” he said. Sometimes that made Harry feel better. But not for long.
One day Antony came to Harry's house to play. “Look at my glider (滑翔机) ,” said Antony. “It does tricks and loop-de-loops when I fly it outside in the wind.” “Nice,” said Harry. They played cars. They played robots. They drew pictures. Clouds rolled in. The tree in front of Harry's house swayed. A garbage can fell clattered down the street. “Harry, ” said Antony, “the wind is blowing. I don't want to stay inside. I want to fly my glider. ”
Harry was silent. “Want to come ” asked Antony. “No, thanks,” answered Harry. Harry stayed inside and played with his construction set. He pictured launching the glider with Antony. But when he imagined the wind blowing against his face, he was down. He felt sad to be in his room while everyone else was outside.
Harry got a big piece of paper and drew a kite. He cut it out and colored it. He pretended the kite was flying against the clouds. But after a while, he got tired of pretending. Outside the window Antony's glider was making circles. It was flying upside down.
Harry sighed. He was tired of feeling afraid. Suddenly he wanted to stamp his feet. He wanted to yell out loud. He wanted to yell, “I AM NOT AFRAID! !” So he tried it. Harry was surprised. It felt good to yell. Then Harry took his kite and went outside.

第二节 One possible version:
The wind was blowing, but he marched forward and pulled himself into the branches of the tree in front of his house. He sat there in its branches with his kite. The tree's leaves whistling. Its branches moved gently. Some little ones broke as the wind picked up. Harry held on. Antony's glider was moving upward or downward. Harry held on. Harry was enjoying himself. He liked the way the wind smelled of spring blossoms. He liked moving with the tree. “This isn't so bad!” said Harry.
The wind blew harder, then Harry let his kite go. The wind caught it. Harry watched it flying up and down. He heard it flap. The kite's crayon colors sparkled in the sunlight. Harry let out the string and the kite climbed higher. It moved as the wind moved, just above the tree. Antony watched Harry's kite. Harry watched his kite, too. He sat in the tree and watched it until the wind became a gentle, whispering breeze. Then the kite settled into the garden. Harry climbed down and played with Antony outside together all afternoon.

W: David, did you watch the popular TV series Meet Yourself during your winter vacation
M: Yes. And I know the heroine Xu Hongdou travels to a village in Yunnan province and volunteers at a local cafe. She gets free meals in return. Her experience is close to “volunteer travel”.
W: What is “volunteer travel”
M: It refers to a new type of taking a trip. All or part of the purpose of the trip is to participate in an arranged service opportunity to help others, according to Wise Tour, an online provider of travel information. During the trip, volunteer travelers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. The volunteers offer their help in exchange for free or discounted accommodation, meals and laundry, activities, or classes.
W: It seems as if these long journeys could only be made possible in recent years by modern transportation.
M: That's true. It has indeed been a growing trend for urban residents to volunteer in rural areas. They not only get a taste of the rural life, but also can catch some relief from their busy lives.

Text 9 用塑料瓶制作衣服
M: Good evening and welcome to this week's Business World. Tonight, we've invited Alia Juma, the company's design director of fashion brand JUMA. She will give us some information about clothes made out of plastic bottles. Hello, Miss Juma. How did you get this idea
W: You know, billions of water bottles are being thrown away. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down. I think we can use them to create clothes and help the environment.
M: Awesome! Is the process of making clothes complicated
W: In fact, it is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted and shaped into small balls. The balls are melted again to form thread. We can then use the thread to make clothes.
M: How many plastic bottles does it take to make a ton of thread
W: It takes 67, 000 bottles. This reduces carbon emissions by 4. 2 tons and water use by 6. 2 tons.
M: Amazing. But some people might have doubts about wearing such clothes.
W: They don't have to worry at all. Plastic thread can be made into cotton, silk or even wool. They can find the answer on Causeartist, a website that focuses on innovative industries.
M: That's right. What about the price of the clothes
W: It ranges from 500 to 3, 000 yuan. However, the price will fall when more companies follow the sustainability path taken by my business.
M: Thank you for letting us know so much.
Text 10 “电子榨菜”
W: Have you heard of the “digital pickled vegetables” It refers to the videos people watch while eating that make their food more appetizing. Nowadays many young people in China are kept company by TV shows or short videos during a meal. They believe that their food is tastier with the “digital pickles”.
Can this habit affect your diet According to a research paper published in 2019, you may eat more unconsciously. The research team asked 62 volunteers to follow different eating patterns on four different days. The patterns included eating while looking at the mobile phone, reading magazines and without distraction. After analyzing their diets, the team discovered that when eating with a distraction, our attention can be distracted, which leads to eating more than expected. This study suggests that if you're eating or drinking while your attention is distracted by a highly engaging task, you're less likely to be able to tell how full you feel. This works not only for eating meals but other demanding tasks as well.
