Sustainable Campus Initiative: Student Project Grants
The University Sustainability Office (USO) invites students to submit proposals for innovative projects aimed at reducing our carbon footprint. This initiative encourages students to think creatively about how they can make a tangible environmental impact on campus.
Grant Levels:
Seed Grant (Up to $ 500): This grant is designed for individuals who want to lead awareness campaigns or small-scale projects, such as pilot recycling programs or single-use plastic reduction campaigns. These initiatives can significantly raise awareness about sustainability issues among students and staff, providing the first step in broader environmental action.
Impact Grant ($ 501 - $3,000): For projects involving at least two departments, this grant supports collaborative efforts aimed at bringing about tangible changes in campus infrastructure. Examples include energy-saving lighting systems, waste diversion projects, or sustainability-focused renovations. The aim is to have measurable, long-lasting impact on the campus environment.
Legacy Grant ($ 3,000+): This grant supports long-term solutions that have the potential to be implemented across all campuses. Legacy projects must have clear, permanent environmental benefits and are expected to continue even after the initial funding period. These projects require the support of a faculty advisor, demonstrating their academic or institutional significance.
Key Dates (2026):
April 15: Proposal submission deadline.
May 10: Shortlisted candidates will be notified for an interview.
June 1: Funding awarded.
Evaluation Criteria:
Originality (30%): Does the project offer a fresh perspective that can inspire others
Scalability (40%): Is there potential to expand this project to other campuses or institutions
Cost-efficiency (30%): Do the environmental benefits justify the project’s budget and investment
Note:
Projects that are purely theoretical without a practical application on campus will not be considered. All equipment purchased with the grant remains the property of the USO and must be used for the designated project.

On a sunny morning in a small courtyard at Walt Whitman Middle School, a 14-year-old held a chicken gently in her arms.
“Her name is Betsy,” Maicy Nealy, an eighth-grader, said. Nealy used to be afraid of chickens as a young child. Now she spends hours after school collecting their eggs and cleaning the coop (鸡舍). For her, the chickens make her life organized and develop her interest in agriculture. Now she can’t imagine adulthood without chickens involved. She says when she grows up, she plans to be “a lawyer that owns chickens”.
The chicken program at Whitman started about a year ago, when after-school program specialist Lee Maguire planned a month-long embryo (胚胎) development program for kids to learn about biology. Throughout the school year, they’ve observed students gaining not only companionship from the animals but some life skills. The students refill the feed supply — which costs about $25 for 50 pounds — with money from selling some of the eggs the chickens produce at $5 to $10 a dozen, making the project self-sustaining.
The chickens make the school a calmer place. This good part of the program was soon noticed by the school’s counselors (辅导员) who help students with problems. Sometimes they take students who are having a hard time to the chicken coop outside, to help them relax and clear their bad feelings. “At this moment, they don’t have to worry about having no place to live, no enough food, or how to improve their grades,” one counselor said. “The chickens don’t judge. They just give love. It’s a quiet place to get away from stress.”
As school ends, students head home to prepare for high school, while the chickens stay with Maguire for the summer. But first, he has a surprise.
“I bought more baby chicks,” he said. “I got them eight more and I’m looking forward to boosting my students’ learning interest further.”
4. What can be learned from Maicy Nealy’s story
A．She chose her job by caring for animals.
B．She mastered professional farming skills.
C．She went from fear to lifelong love for chickens.
D．She kept close relationships with outdoor animals.
5. Why did Maguire start the chicken program first
A．To improve students’ teamwork skills.
B．To help students deal with loneliness.
C．To create a sustainable food source for the school.
D．To provide hands-on science learning experiences.
6. What impressed the school counselors about the program
A．Its potential to generate school income.
B．Its healing value for troubled students.
C．Its improvement in academic performance.
D．Its popularity among small animal lovers.
7. What is the best title for the passage
A．Education with Wings
B．Life with Chickens
C．Skills from Nature
D．Peace from Animals
C
The oil and gas industry may be emitting about three-times the amount of climate-warming methane than government estimates show, according to a new study from Stanford University, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and other organizations in Nature. Methane (甲烷) is the main component of natural gas and among the greenhouse gases heating the planet, which is produced when extracting crude oil.
Specific measurements varied from a low of less than 1%, or about what the Environmental Protection Agency estimates, at a site in Pennsylvania to a high of nearly 10% in New Mexico. Researchers found the higher percentages of methane released generally had something in common. “These are places where production is mostly focusing on oil,” says Evan Sherwin, a research scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who conducted the research as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University. But oil and gas often come out of the ground together, and if there wasn’t a way to transport the less-valuable gas to where it could be sold, leaks were higher.
In Pennsylvania, by contrast, drillers are focused on producing natural gas, and there, very little of the methane was wasted. That complicates an argument many in the industry have made, generally in opposition to tighter government regulations on methane. They say drillers have the incentive to capture gas leaks so they can sell the fossil fuel. But that’s not always possible, if industry hasn’t built the pipelines and other infrastructure to get the gas to consumers. In this study, researchers estimate the industry releases about 6.2 million tons of methane a year, valued at $1.08 billion.
“Emissions of methane from fossil fuel operations remain unacceptably high,” said Tim Gould, chief economist at the International Energy Agency, during a Tuesday call with reporters. The organization’s Global Methane Tracker shows methane from the energy sector was near the record high level in 2023.
Despite that, the IEA concludes that if countries fully implement existing pledges on methane reductions, that would make significant progress toward achieving global climate goals. “2024 could mark a turning point and policies are starting to be put into place. Greater transparency is coming. Awareness is spreading and we have enhanced ability to track large leaks and act quickly to shut them down,” Gould said. Gould said he hopes to have good news to share, about a reduction in methane emissions, next year.
8. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A．Various measures are taken to restrict the release of methane.
B．The low value of the gas in part leads to the high leak of the methane.
C．The more focused on the production of the gas, the higher the methane release
D．The percentage of methane in developing countries is higher than in developed countries
9. What does the underlined word “incentive” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Equipment.
B．Productivity.
C．Drive.
D．Assessment.
10. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Caution: Methane emission gives rise to serious global warming.
B．Methane emissions: Oil and gas industry’s hidden impact.
C．Measures taken to cut back on methane emissions.
D．Methane is to blame for the climate change.
11. What is Tim Gould’s attitude toward emissions of methane at present
A．Critical.
B．Dismissive.
C．Doubtful.
D．Optimistic.

Average age is rising around the world — a demographic (人口统计) change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change.
Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany, have found that energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier. An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests.
They combined two decades’ worth of data from thousands of US households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009. They found that, on average, children’s energy consumption climbs as they grow up, before dropping slightly when they leave home. Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s, before briefly dropping after 55, and then beginning to climb again. The study involved factors such as income, local climate and the age, type and size of a person’s home. The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan (寿命) seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age.
Why does demand grow so much in our 30s “We need more of everything. More space, a bigger TV, two fridges,” says Estiri. The study found that, in warmer parts of the US, energy use increases in people over the age of 65 — probably as a result of increased use of air conditioning. This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse.
Heat waves have become more common in the US in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming. More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions (排放), and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel-free.
“This confluence (汇集) of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thinking about,” says Estiri. Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex, UK, says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Most modelling of climate change mitigation (减缓气候变化的模型) assumes people’s energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time.
“This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to fight with the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy,” says Sovacool.
Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter, UK, says the research could have an important influence on policymakers. “What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy, but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy,” she says.
12. By saying “not just because we tend to get wealthier” in Paragraph 2, the writer probably means that _______.
A．poor people can’t bring down the high demand for energy
B．a comfortable life is not the main cause of increased energy use
C．there are some other reasons leading to the increase in energy consumption
D．people being wealthy or not has nothing to do with the rise of energy consumption
13. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph3
A．Children consumes more energy when they leave home.
B．Energy consumption drops briefly before people hit 55.
C．The researchers built a model to study the data from US households.
D．Energy consumption varies with the change of lifestyle and demand at different ages.
14. Which of the following statements is Hossein Estiri most likely to support
A．Energy will stop increasing when people get older.
B．His research could inspire policymakers to change current policies.
C．Various factors influencing energy consumption should be considered.
D．Old people should use fossil fuel-free rather than electrical energy to keep cool.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．More emphasis should be put on people’s energy use.
B．The government can’t do much without the support of the study.
C．It is the buildings, not the people inside, that consume the majority of the energy.
D．Policymakers have been working on how to cut down people’s energy use.

Our conversations shape who we are and make us unique individuals. ____16____ As one expert puts it, “The quality of our conversations is closely linked to our personal happiness, as well as our success in both social and work life.” While issues like healthy eating have long been a key focus of public health, we know very little about one of humanity’s most amazing abilities — the ability to have meaningful conversations.
____17____ We struggle to have meaningful talks with people who think differently or come from different backgrounds. All too often, we forget to truly listen to others when they speak, which acts as the basis of empathy and collaboration. Without even noticing, we often give inappropriate responses that hinder good communication.
For this reason, we badly need to make conversational skill a public concern. This important skill helps us think more carefully and recognize the great influence of our daily conversations. ____18____ Such conversations damage trust and connection, ultimately ruining our harmonious social relationships.
When we engage in real, face-to-face conversations and give each other our full attention, something special unfolds. Our bodies naturally come into harmony with each other; we unconsciously mirror each other’s movements and work in perfect harmony. Research also shows that our brains can synchronize (同步) during meaningful conversations. ____19____
We can begin building our conversational literacy right now, starting with small, intentional daily steps. ____20____ After all, this kind of genuine and uninterrupted conversation will have a profound and lasting impact on the success and emotional health of the family’s youngest members: developing their personal lives, deepening their relationships, and shaping their future careers.
A．It also enables us to spot and avoid harmful talks.
B．The deeper the talk, the stronger this neural link grows.
C．So it’s workable to gather our family for phone-free dinners.
D．Many of us don’t know how to handle difficult conversations.
E．They can build relationships or break the connections we hold dear.
F．However, finding time for deep talks is not always within easy reach.
G．Meaningful conversations begin with genuine listening, not quick responses.

As the college entrance examination approached, every minute seemed precious to me. I spent long hours in the classroom, trying to stay focused on piles of exercises and endless test papers. Like many of my classmates, I believed that success depended on making full use of every second.
However, something unexpected began to disturb our routine. Every evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., a group of noisy birds called koels (噪鹃) would start singing right outside our classroom window. Their cry was sharp — a single loud note repeated again and again, like someone shouting the same word without stopping. First came one bird, and then several others joined in. The sound was over 8000 Hz, high enough to cut through the quiet of the evening. And they never seemed to get tired. One would pause, another would start, and the chorus went on and on.
At the beginning, I didn’t pay much attention. In fact, there were moments when the sound felt almost pleasant, reminding me that spring had quietly arrived. But as the days went by, the singing became increasingly frequent and intense. My homework was full of mistakes, and I found myself reading the same line over and over. The more I tried to focus, the more the birds seemed to be singing right into my ears.
Some classmates began to complain. One of them even joked that the birds seemed to have better energy than we did. Yet others remained silent, choosing to endure it. As for me, I felt caught in between. I knew the birds meant no harm, but I also couldn’t ignore the pressure we were under.
One night, after another ruined study session, I lay in bed with my ears still ringing. I couldn’t take it anymore.

AI Use Among Senior Students
Our school recently carried out a survey on senior students’ use of AI tools for study. Some students rely on AI to finish homework quickly, while others turn to it to explain difficult knowledge. Only a small number use it properly to sort out learning materials.
In my opinion, AI is just a helpful tool. We should think independently first instead of copying answers blindly. Only when we use AI wisely can it truly improve our study efficiency.
五、读后续写范文
I decided to do something to make a change. I stayed up late writing a letter to the headmaster. I described how the loud koels’ singing broke my concentration and made me fail to finish revision tasks efficiently. I asked if the school could move our evening self-study classroom or take measures to drive away the birds, hoping to get a quiet learning environment for all exam-preparing students. I handed the letter to the office the next morning.
The headmaster received my letter, but he refused my request. He told me the koels were protected wild birds and the school had no right to disturb them. He suggested I learn to adjust myself to the natural sounds. I felt upset at first, yet I tried his advice. I put on soft earplugs and focused tightly on my textbooks. Gradually, I ignored the birdcalls and calmed down. I realized peace comes from inner mind rather than silent surroundings, which helped me face exam pressure better.
