Why Helping Others Helps You: The Science of Giving
When we give our time, our resources, or just a helping hand, we often believe the help only goes one way — from us to the person we help. (1) . Here is what science has found about helping others.
Light up your brain’s reward system (回报系统)
A famous study found that when people give money to a charity, parts of their brain become active. In simple words, when you help someone, your brain gives off happy chemicals like dopamine (多巴胺). This feeling is sometimes called the “helper’s high.” (2)
Lower stress and improve your health
Volunteering and acts of kindness don’t just make you feel good. (3) One study showed that adults over 50 who volunteered often were much less likely to have high blood pressure. This is important because high blood pressure can lead to heart disease.
Build connection and reduce loneliness
Many people think loneliness only happens when you are alone. But feeling disconnected from others is a deeper problem. Giving can be a powerful way to fight it. (4) Volunteering helps people meet new friends, build new habits, and feel like they are part of a community.
(5)
When you spend time with people in trouble, it can change the way you look at your own life. You start to see things differently. Researchers found that people who often practice being thankful feel more hopeful about life and happier with what they have.
A．Focus on your opinions and feelings.
B．Make you thankful and open your eyes.
C．This kind of happiness can last for a long time.
D．It feels similar to the happiness you get after exercising.
E．People who do kind things every day feel closer to others.
F．But studies show that helping others is also good for the giver.
G．They can also reduce stress levels and keep your body healthy.

A team of researchers (研究人员) studied fiddler crabs living near Turbo, a city on the coast of Colombia, in South America. The forests there are very polluted with plastic, yet the number of fiddler crabs is growing fast. The researchers wanted to know how this was possible.
For their study, the team sprayed (喷洒) five small areas in the forests with tiny plastic particles (微粒). They repeated this for 66 days, and afterwards looked at how it influenced the crabs living in the area. The results showed that the plastic particles, which the crabs ate as they dug through the mud, were broken down by their stomachs during digestion (消化). The crabs were able to break down the microplastics within days, much faster than sunlight and waves.
The scientists said the crabs’ action could possibly be harmful because they could break down the plastic into even smaller pieces of plastic. If other animals then eat the crabs, the plastic could go into the food chain (食物链). However, Daniela Diaz, who took part in the study, said, “The results could lead to a better understanding of how animals get used to pollution and the fate (命运) of plastics in the environment.”

D. It stopped plastic from entering the natural food chain.
21.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To teach ways to break down plastic waste.
B. To call on people to protect polluted forests.
C. To introduce a study on crabs and microplastics.
D. To tell people how to protect small sea animals.

“We’d better get down,” said Peter, “I’m sure the cherries would be easy to get at from the side of the steps.”
“What’s that noise ” asked Bobbie suddenly. A strange sound, like far off thunder, began and stopped. Then it started again, getting louder.
“Look at that tree!” cried Peter. The tree was moving, not like a normal tree when the wind blows, but all in one piece. All the trees seemed to be slowly sliding (滑动) downhill. Suddenly, rocks, trees, grasses, bushes and earth gathered speed and crashed in a pile on the railway.
“It’s all coming down,” said Peter in a shaky voice. Then he cried out, “Oh”
The others looked at him.
“The 11:29 train! It’ll be along any time. There’ll be a terrible accident.”
“Can we run to the station and tell them ” Bobbie began.
“No time. We need to warn the driver somehow. What can we do ”
“Our red petticoats (衬裙)!” Bobbie cried. “Red for danger! We’ll tear them up and use them as flags. If we don’t stop the train in time, people might be killed.”
They quickly tore up the petticoats and made them into flags.
“Two each. Wave one in each hand, and stand on the track (轨道) so the train can see us,” Peter directed. Then jump out of the way.
Phyllis was breathing hard with fright. “It’s dangerous! I don’t like it!”
“Think of saving the train,” Bobbie said. “That’s what matters most!”
As the train came nearer and nearer, Bobbie waved her flags madly.
“MOVE!” shouted Peter. But Bobbie couldn’t. She had to make it stop.
With a shake and sharp sound of the brakes (刹车), the train stopped and the driver jumped out. “What’s going on ” Peter and Phyllis showed him the landslide (塌方).
“You kids saved lives today,” said the driver. “I expect the Railway Company will give you a reward (奖赏).”
“Just like real heroes and heroines,” breathed Phyllis.

Every morning at a delivery (投递) center in Dengkou County, Inner Mongolia, driverless vans start their daily work. These vans can run 180 km when fully powered, and run at 40 km per hour on normal roads and carry up to 800 kg of packages (包裹).
Since June 2024, delivery companies have started using driverless vans across Dengkou. The county covers an area of 3,677 square kilometers but has only 90,000 people. Fewer young people are willing to work in delivery these days, so the cost of hiring workers keeps rising. Driverless vans are a good solution to this problem.
With radars and cameras, they can notice traffic lights and obstacles (障碍物) on the road, and work well even on rainy or snowy days. When arriving at a pick-up stop, they will stop automatically (自动) and make a sound-to tell workers to take down the packages. Workers can also watch the vans in real time and tell them to go to the next stop through the mobile app. In the past, one delivery worker could only send about 200 packages a day. Now, with driverless vans, the daily delivery has jumped to over 1,000 packages. This helps cut costs and make delivery much faster.
By mid-2025, over 6,000 driverless vans were working across China, sending hundreds of millions of packages every day. Hai’an City in Jiangsu has China’s first driverless van test area in the Yangtze River Delta. There, vans deliver packages, supermarket goods and take-away food.
As the technology grows in China, top makers of driverless vans have now gone into markets in Europe and Singapore. This shows that China’s driverless vans are not only helping at home but also becoming known around the world.
25.Which of the following are the advantages (优势) of using driverless vans for delivery
①lower costs ②all-weather work ③no need for workers
④delivering more packages ⑤higher speed than human drivers
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①②⑤ D. ②③⑤
26.How does the writer show the convenience brought by driverless vans
A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories.
C. By expressing opinions. D. By asking questions.
27.How does the writer feel about Chinese driverless van technology
A. Uninterested. B. Surprised. C. Uncertain. D. Positive.

Suzhou is a city of natural beauty and long history, and it is our shared efforts that make it even more beautiful. I think green living is key to building a better city.
Green living protects the environment and makes life healthier. As a student, I go to school by bike to reduce pollution. I also sort garbage and reuse water at home. Last month, I planted trees with classmates in a park. Seeing those young trees, I felt happy to do something meaningful.
Let’s start from small things, like turning off lights when leaving a room. Let’s take action now to make Suzhou more beautiful!
