The cracked red soil stretches out under a burning sun. Where young crops once grew, only dust remains. Standing at the edge of her family's farmland in rural South Africa, Rejoyce remembers her late father's hands gently pressing seeds into the earth and teaching her to care for the land. That was years ago. Today, the rivers that fed this soil have shrunk to muddy trickles. "Lesser rain means lesser crops," she says quietly. Families in her community now go days without water simply to cook and wash. What she witnesses is not just a local problem — it mirrors a broader crisis across Africa, where disappearing forests and drying rivers threaten both livelihoods and identity.
But Rejoyce does not simply stand by and watch. She joined the Sunshine Cinema network, a solar-powered film screening project that brings rural communities together to watch documentaries on social and environmental issues and discuss them afterwards. Her approach moves environmentalism into meaningful public action. By showing films about climate change, she creates a safe space for people to speak up about food security and environmental protection. These gatherings help neighbors build social connections and develop a shared sense of responsibility for their surroundings.
For Rejoyce, climate change is more than an environmental problem. It is also a matter of social justice. She believes that protecting nature is not a choice but a responsibility everyone must share. Her guiding belief, long championed by leaders like the late Wangari Maathai, is simple: "If we cannot sustain the environment, we cannot sustain ourselves."
As Earth Hour approaches its 20th anniversary, Rejoyce stands as an example beyond symbolic action. Her work is a daily commitment to the planet, and she calls on others to join her. Whether by learning about biodiversity, starting a garden, or joining local projects, she believes every person can give back to the Earth. "I'm looking forward to continuing this route," she says, "because it's the only one I know."
24．What can be inferred from the first paragraph
A. Many families have left her hometown due to the drought.
B. The river that once fed the farmland has completely dried up.
C. The environment in her hometown has become worse over time.
D. Rejoyce spent most of her childhood helping her father on the farm.
25．What can be learned about the Sunshine Cinema network
A. It shows entertainment films in rural communities.
B. It depends on solar power to run its film screenings.
C. It was set up by the local government in South Africa.
D. It helps villagers listen to one another's views on social and environmental issues.
26．What is Rejoyce's belief about environmental protection
A. It is a shared duty and a matter of justice.
B. It requires technical support such as solar power.
C. It depends largely on improving farming methods.
D. It should focus more on small daily actions than on organized efforts.
27．Which of the following best describes Rejoyce
A. humble and conservative
B. responsible and generous
C. hardworking and ambitious
D. determined and action-driven
C
The human gut（肠道） is home to over 3,000 species of bacteria that aid digestion and support the immune system. Some researchers suspect they may also shape our eating desires. In a 2014 study published in BioEssays, scientists proposed that gut microbes could control host eating behavior by generating desires for foods they thrive on, or causing discomfort until the host consumes what benefits them. In other words, what the microbes want and what we want are not always the same. "We don't always see eye to eye with our microbes," said Dr. Joe Alcock, co-author of the study and a professor at the University of New Mexico.
There is some evidence that microbes can influence host’s eating behavior, but much of it remains theoretical. One striking example is Salmonella Typhimurium, which takes over gut-brain chemical signals to keep the host eating during an infection, thereby facilitating the bacteria's spread. Normally, infections in the gut reduce appetite, but Salmonella appears to weaken that response. However, the 2014 paper was theoretical: it did not prove that microbes actually drive desires. Moreover, the proposed pathways are influenced by many other factors, including culture, society, economics, and learned behaviors.
More recently, a 2025 study in Nature Microbiology connected these ideas to human health. Researchers discovered that a gut bacterium called Bacteroides vulgaris can reduce sugar desires in mice. It produces a metabolite（代谢物） that triggers the release of GLP-1, the same hormone targeted by drugs like Ozempic, which is a medicine that helps control blood sugar and reduce appetite. The study also found that individuals with type 2 diabetes tend to have lower levels of this bacterium, hinting at a link with sugar metabolism.
Nevertheless, Kohl, a researcher in the field, cautions against overstating the role of microbes. "Free will still exists," he says. "The microbes are not driving our choices. But these desires, low-grade feelings about food — those come from our internal nutritional state — things like amino acids and other compounds circulating in the body — which we know is influenced by the microbiome." In other words, while gut microbes may gently push our food desires, they do not eliminate personal choice.
28．What does the phrase "see eye to eye with" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. rely on each other
B. go against each other
C. agree with each other
D. compete with each other
29．What do we know about the example of Salmonella Typhimurium
A. It causes the host to lose appetite during infection.
B. It proves that microbes can control what the host eats.
C. It has helped scientists discover new types of taste receptors.
D. It shows how a bacterium can influence host eating behavior.
30．What can be learned about Bacteroides vulgaris
A. It can directly remove sugar from the host's blood.
B. It helps produce a hormone that increases sugar desires.
C. It can help reduce sugar desires by producing a certain substance.
D. It is a medicine that helps control blood sugar and reduce appetite.
31．What is Kohl's attitude toward the idea that gut microbes drive our food choices
A. Supportive. B. Cautious.
C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
D
Can art help keep our brains young A 2025 study published in Nature Communications suggests that engaging in creative activities — such as dance, music, or visual arts — is linked to a measurable slowing of brain aging. As people grow older, their brains naturally undergo changes that can affect memory, attention, and other mental functions. However, the rate of brain aging varies greatly from person to person, and scientists have long wondered whether certain lifestyle activities might help slow this process.
The research team compared the "brain age" of participants with their actual calendar age. If a person's brain appears younger than their true age, the gap is called a negative brain age gap, meaning delayed aging. If the brain appears older, it suggests accelerated aging.
The researchers studied nearly 1,500 people across several countries, comparing experts in tango dancing, music, visual arts, and strategy gaming with non-experts of the same age. Across all four areas, experts showed younger-looking brains, with differences ranging from about 5.4 to 6.2 years. Visual artists showed the largest effect, with brains appearing around 6.2 years younger. A separate experiment also found that even a short creative training program produced measurable improvements in brain age, suggesting the benefit is not limited to long-term experts.
This is the first large-scale evidence directly linking creative engagement to measurable protection of brain health. The results showed that creative practices helped build more efficient brain networks and improved connectivity in regions most vulnerable（脆弱的） to aging. The findings suggest that creativity — much like exercise or a healthy diet — can be seen as a powerful, low-cost way to support brain health across one's life.
"This is the first study of its kind to show that creativity can protect brain health in a measurable way," said Dr. Lucia Melloni, a senior researcher involved in the project. "Our findings show that creative practices — from tango to strategy gaming — share common mechanisms that support more efficient brain networks. This makes creativity an accessible tool to support healthy aging, available to anyone regardless of artistic talent or previous experience," she added.
32.What does the study find about the effect of creative activities on brain aging
A. Only long-term experts benefit from creative activities.
B. The benefit varies greatly depending on the type of art.
C. Short-term creative training can also help delay brain aging.
D. Strategy gaming shows the strongest effect among the four areas.
33.How do creative practices help protect brain health
A. By preventing memory loss in old age.
B. By replacing exercise and a healthy diet.
C. By building more efficient brain networks.
D. By slowing down the body's physical aging process.
34.How did the researchers carry out their study according to Paragraph 3
A. By reviewing data from earlier brain aging studies.
B. By comparing experts with non-experts of the same age.
C. By interviewing experts about their daily creative habits.
D. By comparing different age groups within the same country.
35.What is the text mainly about
A. Why brain aging affects people's artistic talent.
B. How creative activities help improve physical health.
C. Whether creative activities can slow down brain aging.
D. What types of art are best for preventing memory loss.

Live Green: Small Steps Toward a More Sustainable Life
Living green is more than just a popular phrase — it is a commitment to making mindful choices that protect our planet. Adopting sustainable habits may seem challenging at first, but the good news is that you don't have to do everything at once. 36 The following practical actions are organized into three key areas to help you get started.
Reduce Waste and Embrace Minimalism
Reducing waste begins with a simple mindset shift: aim to use fewer single-use items. Carry reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and food containers to cut down on disposable plastics. Instead of throwing away kitchen scraps, consider composting them to reduce landfill waste and create nutrient-rich soil for gardening. 37 Recycling correctly is also essential — follow your local guidelines to ensure materials are properly sorted and processed.
38
Small changes at home can significantly lower your environmental impact. Switch to energy-efficient LED bulbs and appliances wherever possible. Unplug chargers and electronics when they are not in use to avoid wasting "phantom" energy. To conserve water, install low-flow showerheads, take shorter showers, and fix any leaking taps immediately. 39
Make Smarter Transportation Choices
How you travel also affects the planet. For short trips, try walking or biking instead of driving — it is good for both the environment and your health. Use public transit whenever possible, and consider carpooling with others to reduce the number of vehicles on the road. 40
Remember, every step counts. These actions may seem small on their own, but together they can create meaningful change — for the environment, for your community, and for future generations..
A．Conserve Energy and Water
B．Use Energy-Efficient Appliances
C．Public transport is the most environmentally friendly way of travelling.
D．Collecting rainwater is a simple way to reduce your reliance on treated water.
E．Breaking the process into manageable steps makes it both achievable and rewarding.
F．In short, how we choose to travel directly shapes both our well-being and the environment.
G．Choose products with less packaging, and donate unused clothes rather than throwing them away.
