PART 03
China is experiencing consistent extreme heat, with meteorological (气象学) departments issuing repeated heat warnings. Many cities have been jokingly called “barbecue mode” by netizens, yet the public has shown diverse creative ways to beat the heat.
In Fuling District, Chongqing, despite the 43℃ outdoor temperature, tourists enjoy spicy hotpot in a 26℃ pool. The scenic area also offers “watermelon hotpot” using hollowed (空心的) watermelons as pots. In Wuhan, Hubei, residents turn air raid shelters (防空洞) into natural “air-conditioned rooms”. The Sheshan civil defense facility stays at a steady 19℃, where the elderly play chess, young people use free Wi-Fi, and a staff member notes it’s more popular than trendy cafes.
In Zhengzhou, Henan, subway stations become midday rest spots for workers. Construction worker Zhang Wei says it’s 40℃ outside but only 28℃ inside, saving on AC costs. Local authorities help residents find shelters and cooling spots via mobile searches, with some upgraded to community service hubs. In Suzhou, Jiangsu, people make traditional bean soup look like small garden scenes. They use mint water, candied fruits (to look like small pavilions), and jelly pieces (to look like fish).
Old ways to stay cool also come back. For example, nobles in the Yuan Dynasty used ice blocks to cool fruit, and sellers in the Jin Dynasty sold “ice snow cold water”.
Jia Xiaolong, deputy head of the National Climate Center, states China has seen record-breaking temperatures since the flood season, with the average temperature the second-highest on record. Forty-five national weather stations logged all-time high daily temperatures, with Xingping in Shaanxi hitting 43.1℃. China prioritizes climate change adaptation and released a 2024 national plan to build early warning systems for climate-related health risks.
中国正持续经历极端高温天气，气象部门已多次发布高温预警。许多城市被网友调侃进入 “烧烤模式”，但民众也想出了各种各样富有创意的避暑方式。
在重庆涪陵区，尽管户外气温高达 43℃，游客们却能在 26℃的泳池里享用麻辣火锅。该景区还推出了 “西瓜火锅”—— 将空心西瓜当作锅具来使用。在湖北武汉，市民把防空洞改造成了天然 “空调房”。其中，蛇山人防设施内温度稳定保持在 19℃，老人们在这里下棋，年轻人使用免费无线网络，一名工作人员表示，这里比网红咖啡馆还受欢迎。
在河南郑州，地铁站成了务工人员的午间休憩点。建筑工人张伟表示，户外气温达 40℃，但地铁站内只有 28℃，还能省下空调费。当地政府通过手机搜索功能，帮助市民查找避暑纳凉点，部分纳凉点还升级成了社区服务中心。在江苏苏州，人们将传统绿豆汤做成了 “微型园林景观”：用薄荷水营造氛围，将蜜饯摆成小亭子的样子，把果冻块当作 “小鱼”，创意十足。
传统避暑方式也再度回归。例如，元代贵族曾用冰块冰镇水果，而晋代商贩则售卖 “冰雪冷水”，这些古老的降温智慧如今又被人们提及。
国家气候中心副主任贾小龙表示，入汛以来，中国出现了破纪录的高温天气，平均气温为历史同期第二高。全国有 45 个气象站监测到日最高气温突破历史极值，其中陕西兴平的气温达到 43.1℃。中国高度重视气候变化适应工作，并已发布 2024 年国家规划，旨在构建气候相关健康风险预警体系。

Social interactions are essential for our well-being and happiness, research has shown.
And now a large study supports that finding and suggests there are many ways to squeeze in more companionship — and happiness — into our busy lives.
The study found that across more than 80 different types of activities, people reported being happier doing almost anything with other people than doing it alone.
The activities ranged from the simple everyday things — getting gas, doing homework, commuting, grocery shopping — to ones that may not seem like social activities, such as reading, doing car repairs or managing finances.
“What we see is that participants consistently rate every common daily activity as more enjoyable when they’ re interacting with somebody else,” said Elizabeth Dunn, a psychology professor at the University of British Columbia and senior author of the study, published in August in Social Psychological and Personality Science.
Even researchers who study the positive effects of social interactions did not expect the effects to be so widespread. “I was still surprised by the magnitude and extremity of the effects,” said Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioral science at the University of Chicago who researches how we often underestimate the impact of socializing and was not involved in the study.
“Because so many different activities with others are associated with a happiness boost, the research suggests that we are leaving some happiness on the table by engaging in everyday activities alone,” Dunn said.
研究表明，社会互动对我们的身心健康与幸福感至关重要。
如今，一项大规模研究不仅印证了这一发现，还指出在忙碌的生活中，我们有多种方式可以增加陪伴时光 —— 进而提升幸福感。
该研究发现，在 80 多种不同类型的活动中，人们反馈几乎所有事情 “与人同做” 都比 “独自完成” 更快乐。
这些活动既包括简单的日常事务，如给汽车加油、写作业、通勤、采购日用品；也涵盖那些看似与社交无关的事情，例如阅读、修理汽车或管理财务。
“我们发现，参与者一致认为，在与他人互动时，每一项常见的日常活动都会变得更有趣。” 英属哥伦比亚大学心理学教授伊丽莎白 邓恩表示。她是这项研究的资深作者，该研究于 8 月发表在《社会心理学与人格科学》期刊上。
即便研究社会互动积极影响的学者，也未预料到这种影响会如此广泛。“这种影响的强度和普遍性仍让我感到惊讶。” 芝加哥大学行为科学教授尼古拉斯 埃普利说。埃普利专门研究 “人们常低估社交影响” 这一课题，但并未参与此次研究。
邓恩指出：“由于与他人共同进行的各类活动都能提升幸福感，这项研究表明，当我们独自进行日常活动时，其实是在‘浪费’一部分本可获得的快乐。”

①The future arrives fast, and as China pursues high-quality development amid rapid aging, community canteens have emerged as a key topic. By late 2024, China’s population aged 60 and above exceeded 300million, with 10 million more expected yearly over the next decade, per CCTV News. These canteens, designed to offer affordable, home meals, have mixed fates — some thrive as “community stars,” while others close quickly.
②Take Beijing’s “Jia Fan Xiang” (meaning “aroma of home-cooked meals”). The 30-square-meter canteen draws both seniors and young people. Retiree Liu Min, 57, visits daily: he gets braised pork, chicken with potatoes, and spinach for over 30 yuan ($4.5) with a 12% senior discount. Yet staff member Tang notes high rent and wages; despite government support, it still operates at a loss.
③Another Beijing example is Bajiao community canteen, which serves three nearby communities. Since November 2024, it has 6-7 daily dishes, offers home delivery for immobile seniors, and gets 3-yuan government subsidies (补贴) per meal plus 5-yuan allowances for eligible seniors (seniors pay 13 yuan). It plans to add health lectures and volunteer services but faces cash flow issues — needing 150 daily meals to break even, which is hard to sustain. Staff shortages (only 3 people) and poor kitchen equipment add to struggles.
④Nationwide, canteens in Beijing, Xi’an, Shenyang, and Hangzhou have closed, some within two months, leaving seniors unable to get prepaid card refunds. High costs, reduced subsidies, and unclear positioning hinder sustainability. A Wuhan University study found Suzhou’s senior meal system, though able to serve 120,000 daily, only serves 24,000.
⑤However, governments are acting. Eleven departments released a plan to boost senior meal services; 300 million yuan in central funding supports meal assistance, and the 2025 Government Work Report promised more support. Yu Shaoxiang, a researcher, says canteens need government leadership and non-profit operations, not full marketization or total reliance on subsidies. With social participation, they can become stable. Patrons like Liu Min are optimistic: “As long as quality and price stay, this will win hearts.”
①未来发展日新月异，在中国应对人口快速老龄化、追求高质量发展的背景下，社区食堂已成为备受关注的核心议题。据央视新闻报道，截至2024年底，中国60岁及以上老年人口已突破3亿，未来十年预计每年还将新增1000万。这类以提供价格亲民、兼具家常口味餐食为定位的食堂，命运却各不相同——有的成为“社区明星”，人气旺盛；有的则昙花一现，很快便关门停业。
②以北京的“家饭香”社区食堂（“家饭香”意为“家常菜的香气”）为例。这家面积仅30平方米的食堂，不仅吸引老年人，也受到年轻人的青睐。57岁的退休老人刘敏每天都会来这里就餐：他点一份红烧肉、土豆炖鸡和菠菜，原价30多元（约合4.5美元），凭老年优惠可享受8.8折。但食堂工作人员唐先生表示，食堂面临高额租金与人力成本压力；即便有政府补贴，目前仍处于亏损运营状态。
③北京八角社区食堂是另一个典型案例，该食堂为周边三个社区提供服务。自2024年11月运营以来，食堂每日供应6-7种菜品，为行动不便的老年人提供送餐上门服务，且每份餐食可获得3元政府补贴，符合条件的老年人还能额外享受5元餐费补助（老年人实际支付13元）。食堂计划新增健康讲座与志愿服务项目，但目前面临现金流难题——需日均售出150份餐食才能实现收支平衡，这一目标难以稳定达成。此外，人员短缺（仅3名员工）与厨房设备陈旧等问题，也让运营雪上加霜。
④从全国范围来看，北京、西安、沈阳、杭州等多地的社区食堂已陆续关闭，部分食堂开业仅两个月便停业，导致老年顾客预付卡内余额无法退还。高昂的运营成本、补贴缩减以及定位模糊，成为制约食堂可持续发展的主要障碍。武汉大学一项研究显示，苏州的老年助餐体系虽具备日均服务12万人次的能力，但实际日均服务量仅2.4万人次。
⑤不过，各地政府已开始积极行动。11个部门联合印发方案，推进老年助餐服务发展；中央财政安排3亿元资金支持助餐服务，2025年政府工作报告也承诺将提供更多扶持。研究员于绍祥指出，社区食堂需在政府引导下采用非营利模式运营，既不能完全市场化，也不能过度依赖补贴。若能汇聚社会各方力量参与，社区食堂有望实现稳定发展。像刘敏这样的食客对此充满信心：“只要品质和价格保持住，社区食堂一定能赢得大家的认可。”

We use plastics to make many things, from medical equipment to TVs to food packaging. At the end of their useful life, most plastic products are thrown away. ____36____ This causes problems, especially for the world’s oceans. Scientists are working to solve the problems. But in the meantime, here are four things you can do to reduce plastic waste now.
Quit using plastic bags. Instead, take your own reusable shopping bags to the store. People use a trillion (1,000 billion) plastic bags worldwide every year. About 10 percent are used in the United States alone. That’s almost one bag per American per day. Meanwhile, a Dane uses four single-use bags per year on average. ____37____ Today, other countries either make customers pay for plastic bags, or have banned them completely.
Skip the straw (吸管). Today, around 8.3 billion plastic straws pollute the world’s beaches. We should do something to turn over the situation. So when you order a drink, you can say no to the straw. ____38____ In 2018, Seattle became the first major US city to stop using plastic straws, and many other cities are set to follow its example.
____39____ Buy bar soap instead of liquid soap in plastic containers. Don’t buy fruit or vegetables on plastic packaging. In the United Kingdom, leaders are calling for supermarkets to have plastic-free areas. They also want to tax plastic take-out containers.
Recycle. ____40____ But it is possible to recycle most plastic bottles and milk or juice boxes. Today, Norway recycles 97 percent of its plastic bottles. How Machines at most supermarkets take the bottles and give a refund of up to 32 cents per bottle.
我们在很多物品的制造中都会用到塑料，小到医疗设备、电视机，大到食品包装。在塑料制品失去使用价值后，大多数都会被丢弃。36 这引发了诸多问题，对全球海洋的影响尤为严重。科学家们正致力于解决这些问题，但在此期间，你可以从以下四件事做起，即刻减少塑料垃圾。
拒绝使用塑料袋。去商店购物时，改用可重复使用的购物袋。全球每年使用的塑料袋数量高达 1 万亿个（10000 亿个），仅美国的使用量就占了约 10%，这意味着每个美国人平均每天几乎要使用 1 个塑料袋。与之相比，丹麦人年均仅使用 4 个一次性塑料袋。37 如今，其他国家要么要求消费者为塑料袋付费，要么已全面禁止使用塑料袋。
不用塑料吸管。目前，约有 83 亿根塑料吸管污染着全球的海滩，我们必须采取行动改变这一现状。因此，当你点饮品时，可以主动提出不要吸管。38 2018 年，西雅图成为美国首个禁用塑料吸管的主要城市，其他许多城市也计划效仿这一做法。
39 购买块状肥皂，而非塑料瓶装的液体肥皂；购买水果或蔬菜时，避开塑料包装的产品。在英国，相关部门正呼吁超市设立 “无塑料区域”，同时还计划对塑料外卖餐盒征收税费。
积极回收。40 不过，大多数塑料瓶以及牛奶盒、果汁盒都是可以回收的。如今，挪威的塑料瓶回收率已达 97%。这是如何实现的呢？大多数超市都配备了回收机器，民众投入塑料瓶后，每瓶最高可获得 32 美分的退款。
A. Avoid plastic packaging.
B. Set up plastic-free areas.
C. We can’t recycle all plastic products.
D. We can’t stop recycling plastic bottles.
E. You can also bring your own reusable one.
F. In 1993, Denmark was the first country to place a tax on plastic bags.
G. These plastics then break down into smaller pieces that can last for centuries.
【答案】36. G 37. F 38. E 39. A 40. C
A. 避免使用塑料包装。
B. 设立无塑料区域。
C. 我们无法回收所有塑料制品。
D. 我们不能停止回收塑料瓶。
E. 你也可以自带可重复使用的（物品）。
F. 1993 年，丹麦成为首个对塑料袋征税的国家。
G. 这些塑料随后会分解成小块，且能存在数个世纪。
