Alexandra Sullivan, a fd system researcher in New Yrk City, studies urban agriculture. Urban agriculture is anther name fr farming and gardening in a city envirnment. Ms. Sullivan studies everything frm tiny gardens in empty lts between buildings t bigger fields that have been planted and grwn. Accrding t Ms. Sullivan, "Urban agriculture has existed since cities have, acrss the wrld."
The number f humans living in urban areas r cities, is increasing. The amunt f peple wh want t garden in urban areas is als rising. Ms. Sullivan says, "In small gardens, n rftps and indrs, they grw fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals t prduce milk, eggs, hney, and meat. They use these fds as supplements t fd prduced by rural agriculture." Even thugh sme peple wh live in urban areas grw crps, urban residents still need t rely n fd grwn in rural areas. This is because a city desn't have enugh space t grw enugh fd fr everyne living in it.
In New Yrk City, urban farmers have cme up with many different ways t grw their wn prduce, even thugh there isn't a lt f rm. Fr example, Brklyn Grange is a farming peratin that has tw rftp vegetable farms in New Yrk City. All tgether, the farms are made up f 2.5 acres f rftp space. This makes Brklyn Grange ne f the largest rftp farming peratins in the wrld.
Brklyn Grange grws all kinds f things. The farming cmpany sells its vegetables t lcal residents and restaurants. And because the farms are n rftps, they are specially adapted t their urban lcatin. They use available space that is nt needed fr anything else. As mre urban farmers find ways t grw fd in cities, urban residents will be better able t get fresher materials fr their meals.

2. A new clr changing ink culd aid in health and envirnment mnitring—fr example, allwing clthing t switch clrs when expsed t sweat r a wlen blanket t shift clrs if a dangerus gas enters the rm. The ink culd be printed n anything frm a T-shirt t a tent.
Wearable sensing devices like smart watches use electrnics just t mnitr the heart rate, bld sugar and mre. Nw, researchers at Tufts University's Silklab say the new silk-based ink can respnd t and quantify the presence f chemicals n r arund the bdy. "Silk has the ability t add necessary sensing and clr changing chemical substances t the ink withut lsing their functins," says Firenz Omenett, a bimedical engineer at Silklab.
The researchers imprved n an earlier repetitin that wrked with inkjet printers, thickening the ink with a chemical t make it capable fr screen printing, and then added varius reactive substances. With the new ink, they can nw easily print a large number f reactive elements nt large surfaces.
The team made the ink by breaking dwn raw silk fibers int prteins which the researchers suspended in water. Next, they mixed in varius reactive mlecules(分子) and analyzed hw the resulting prducts changed hues when expsed t changes in their envirnment. When the ink is printed n fabric, pH indicatrs culd cnvey infrmatin abut skin health and a wearer's tiredness levels. The changes are visible t eyes, but the researchers als used a camera-imaging analysis t cntinuusly mnitr the clr variatins and create a database f values.
Omenett says that the ink culd be adapted t track envirnmental changes in a rm, r t respnd t bacteria and fllw disease prgressin.
Mechanical engineer Tyler Ray f the University f Hawaii ntes that mst f tday's wearable mnitrs are rigid, fairly large and heavy. "The new ink technlgy has the ptential t transfrm cnsumer wearable mnitrs frm entertainment devices int bdy wrn, clinical grade physilgical measurement tls, prviding useful infrmatin and making it easier fr physicians t perate," he says.
1.What can the new ink be used fr?

C.Breaking dwn fibers and prteins.D.Detecting health and envirnment changes.
2.What des Firenz Omenett mentin in Paragraph 2?
A.The chemical substances in silk.B.The practical functins f smart watches.
C.The rle f silk in the new ink technlgy.D.The influence f the new ink n the human bdy.
3.What des the underlined wrd "hues" in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A.Levels.B.Clrs.C.Wearers.D.Analyses.
4.Hw des Tyler Ray expect f the wearable mnitrs using the new ink?

3. I've been spending time this week smelling the rses. I bend ver in my neighbrs' frnt yard, checking that nbdy is watching, then bury my head in the flwers.
I've als been walking int bakeries and walking arund withut buying anything.
After having surgery n my brken nse 18 mnths ag, I haven't been able t smell r taste things. This week, hwever, my nse is back in business.
I've been fascinated by smells, and it's given me a new way f thinking. Smell is just ne f the little bits and pieces that make life enjyable, which we ften ignre. I remember nce, when my sn was 5 mnths ld, I was carrying him dwn the street. Wind swept thrugh and almst tipped us ver. He threw his little head back and giggled. He'd never felt the wind n his face. When is the last time I laughed at the weather?
The first time I ate bacn, I rushed hme t my parents, determined that we ate this deliciusness at every meal. My father smiled and agreed.
D yu recall when yu learned that the vice actrs f Mickey and Minnie Muse were married in real life? D yu enjy sleeping in new, clean bed sheets?
We dn't write pstcards abut the small things. We dn't frame them in phtgraphs.
They aren't that great r grand, but withut them, life is altgether t lud. These quiet experiences give us a chance t enjy the simple fact f being alive.
As my sense f smell returns t me, it's like I'm smelling things fr the first time. They're full f memries and magic. Fd tastes better, and the air is indeed sweet. I knw what the pets mean nw. It almst makes my brken nse wrthwhile. Nw, I am waiting fr this bandage t cme ff. There's an itch I can't reach!

4. NASA aims t send a man and a wman t the mn by 2024. This is the gal f its Artemis prgram. But fr Artemis t succeed, the U.S. space agency first needs t slve a big prblem: the damaging threat f mn dust.
Over billins f years, celestial bdies, such as asterids and meters, have slammed int the mn. These hits have crushed sme lunar rcks int dust. The surf radiatin gives the dust an electric charge that makes it stick t everything. Thse pwdery bits are like "brken pieces f glass", ntes Mihaly Hranyi, a physicist at the University f Clrad Bulder. The dust is s rugh, in fact, that it can damage equipment. If taken in, it might even harm an astrnaut's health. Hranyi is part f a team that has nw figured ut hw t vercme ne trubling aspect f the dust: its static cling, using a lw-pwered electrn beam(電子束). When shined nt the dust, that beam sends the dust flying.
During the 1970s, the astrnauts in NASA's Apll missins relied n a very lw-tech system t clean lunar dust ff their spacesuits. They swept it away with what lked like the brushes used t paint a huse. But the electrically charged nature f space dust tended t fail such hand sweepers.
The new electrn-beam brm takes advantage f the dust's electrical characteristic. As the beam hits the dust, it releases electrns int the tiny spaces between particles. Sme f these negatively charged electrns will be absrbed by the surrunding dust.
One prblem with the electrn beam, at least fr nw, is that it leaves up t ne-furth f the dust behind. The Bulder grup aims t strengthen that cleaning pwer. Hranyi says the electrn beam is just ne f several ways future space explrers culd keep surfaces clean. Others might include changes t a spacesuit's design.
1.Why shuld the mn dust prblem be slved?
A.It might cause serius crashes.B.It can give ff harmful radiatin.
C.It can stick t the surface f the spaceship.D.It might affect astrnauts' health and equipment.

A.It is a lw-tech dust cleaning system.B.It leaves three-furths f the dust uncleaned.
C.It needs imprvement in the cleaning pwer.D.It is prved less efficient than ther methds.
4.What will the authr mst prbably talk abut next?
A.Astrnauts' health.B.New spacesuit's design.
C.Spaceship surface features.D.Future space explratin.
5. Friday was "Chatty Bus day", an experiment aimed at getting peple t talk t each ther n public transprt. This is nt an idea that wuld appeal t thse wh cmmute in the rush hur, because there is a smaller distance within which it's just as uncmfrtable t talk. It is n cincidence that the first truly persnal music player, the Sny Walkman, was invented in Japan where the cmmuter trains are literally crwded with peple.
We will als nt talk t strangers wh are physically t far away, f curse. N ne wants t shut their small talk. Only n cuntry buses r similar unhurried and uncrwded frms f public transprt can peple reach ut t their neighbrs, cnfident that they are ding s frm a psitin f strength and autnmy.
Fr all these drawbacks, the idea f talking t strangers is still a gd ne, and the prmtin f sciability is gd fr sciety. Althugh it des seem t be a general rule that peple are friendlier the fewer there are f them and mre hstile and indifferent as cities get mre crwded, there are still cnsiderable cultural variatins.
It is true that the apparent lneliness f many peple n public transprt is a false impressin. Many will be caught up with cnversatins with distant friends n their phnes; sme will be talking t the peple in bks. Sme may be in willed slitude with their headphnes. But there are always peple wh wuld be interested in an unexpected cnversatin with a stranger. This need nt g n fr t lng.
It is nt large and pssibly life-changing cnversatins that are what mst peple in lneliness miss mst. What they really need is nt deep thught but superficiality. The kind f cnversatin that yu culd have with anyne reminds yu that yu yurself might be anyne. It is a release frm the prisn f the self, which is where lnely peple serve their sentences, uncertain whether they ever can be parled. Friendship may be t rare a gift t hpe fr, but smetimes the kindest thing t say is als the simplest: "Dn't be a stranger"—and smetimes that's als enugh.
1.Accrding t Paragraph 1, what is the reasn fr the first Walkman's appearance in Japan?
A.Its crprate culture.B.Its peple's creativity.
C.Its vercrwded public transprt.D.Its peple's desire fr persnal space.

6. On a bright early summer mrning, many yung swimmers gather at a lcal swimming pl in the state f Maryland. They are members f a cmpetitive summer swim team, and that's a regular part f their daily life. As they train and cut secnds ff their times, which makes them clser t the champinship in the fllwing large-scale cmpetitins, they are getting lts f physical exercise and vitamin D frm the sun. Hwever, the benefits f belnging t a sprts team are nt just hnr r health related. Yu can learn useful life skills.
Paul Waas, cach f the swim team, explains, "The discipline cmes int play when yu're talking abut cncentrating n the details that yur caches are saying as it makes yu faster rather than ging up and dwn the pl the same way yu have every time. When yu fcus n what yu're ding right and what yu can d better, then yu'll see the imprvement."
Besides, there is als respnsibility, gals and wrkings within a grup. Again, here is Cach Waas. "It's really great! It's s fun t watch frm year t year. I've had kids wh as 7-year-lds n the team culd barely pay attentin in practice and were nly interested in wh was ging first. Nw they've cme back as 8-year-lds, having set sme gals and having things that they want t achieve. These skills can help them a lt."
But playing the sprts is nt withut harm. Sme can be hard n the bdy. Yung athletes suffer serius injuries that fllw them int adulthd. Cach Waas says that in fact, swimming is different frm mst thers. First, it pses a lwer risk f injury. The secnd ne relates t hw swim teams are structured. Actually, children are nt the nly nes wh can benefit. Adults can als benefit frm team sprts.

7. I knw what curage lks like. I saw it n a flight I tk six years ag, and nly nw can I speak f it withut tears filling eyes at the memry.
Our flight left the Orland Airprt ne Friday mrning. But immediately upn take-ff, it was clear that smething was wrng. The aircraft was bumping up and dwn. All the experienced travelers, including me, lked arund with knwing smiles. If yu fly much, yu see these things and learn t act calmly abut them. Hwever, we did nt remain calm fr lng.
Minutes after we were in the air, ur plane began falling quickly. The pilt sn made a serius annuncement. "We are having sme difficulties," he said. "Our indicatrs shw that the cntrl system has failed. We will be returning t the Orland Airprt. The flight attendants will prepare yu fr a bumpy landing. Als, if yu lk ut f the windws, yu will see that we are dumping fuel frm the airplane. We want t have as little n bard as pssible in the event f a rugh tuchdwn." In ther wrds, we were abut t crash. Many travelers lked visibly frightened nw. N ne faces death withut fear, I thught.
Then a cuple f rws t my left, I heard a still calm vice, a wman's vice, speaking in an abslutely nrmal cnversatinal tne. I had t find the surce f this vice. All arund, peple cried. Many screamed. Finally, I saw her. In this chas, a mther was talking t her child. The wman, in her mid-30s, was staring full int the face f her daughter, wh lked t be fur years ld. The child listened clsely, sensing the imprtance f her mther's wrds. The mther's gaze held the child s fixed that she seemed untuched by the sunds f grief and fear arund her.
Finally, I leaned ver and by sme miracle culd hear this sft sure vice with the tne f cmfrt. Over and ver again, the mther said, "I lve yu s much. Remember, n matter what happens, I lve yu always." Frtunately, ur landing gear held at last and ur tuchdwn was nt a tragedy.
Hwever, the vice I heard that day never faded. That mm shwed me what a real her lks like.

8. When talking abut the ecnmics f nline publishing, the first thing t remember is that jb N.1 isn't t get the news t yu. Rather, it is t mnetize yu, by selling yu ff, in real time, t the highest bidder. This happens every time yu click n a link, befre the page has even started t lad n yur phne. Once upn a time, if yu and I bth visited the same web page at the same time using the same web brwser, we wuld end up seeing the same thing. Tday, hwever, an almst unthinkably enrmus ecsystem f scripts and ckies and ften astnishingly persnal infrmatin is used t shw yu a set f brand messages and sales links which are tailred almst uniquely t yu.
That ecsystem raises imprtant questins abut privacy—the way that the minute yu lk at a pair f shes nline, fr instance, they then start fllwing yu arund every ther website yu visit fr weeks. But whether r nt yu value yur privacy, yu are damaged, daily, by the sheer weight f all that technlgy.
Online ads have never gt less annying ver time, and yu can be sure that mbile ads are ging t get mre annying as well, nce Silicn Valley has wrked ut hw t better identify wh yu are. The mve t greater privacy prtectins might help slw the pace with which such technlgies are adpted. But there's n realistic hpe that websites will actually imprve frm here. If yu want t avid the dreadful experience f the mbile web, yu'll nly have ne chice—which is t start reading yur articles negatively, in a certain relevant applicatins. But it wn't be these apps that killed the news brands. It'll be ad tech.
1.What will happen if tw peple click n the same link tday?
A.They will immediately get the news that they want.
B.They will see the same thing whenever they brwse.
C.They will see different brand messages and sales links.
D.They will be recmmended t the same bidder.
2.Why can the nline ads send yu the links unique t yu?

9. Hw ften d yu have a cnversatin with smene, and think yu are paying attentin t him r her, nly t realize shrtly afterwards that yu can't remember what he said? Or, perhaps yu get distracted while he is speaking and miss the message that he is trying t deliver. In tday's busy wrld, mdern life is full f distractins: TVs, radis, traffic nises, telephnes, laptps and s n, which can make it difficult t listen with ur full attentin.
But hw can we listen mre effectively? Jn Kabat-Zinn, prfessr at the University f Massachusetts Medical Schl, put frward the idea f mindful listening. He said mindfulness means paying attentin in a particular way, with a purpse, at the present mment and nn-judgmentally.
When we listen mindfully, we can be aware f sme barriers but still remain pen t the speaker's ideas and messages. Mindfulness encurages us t be aware f the present mment, let g f distractins and ignre physical and emtinal reactins t what peple say t us.
But hw can we apply mindful listening t ur life? Jn Kabat-Zinn describes three key elements f mindful listening that we can use t imprve ur listening skills.
First f all, be present. When we listen mindfully, ur fcus shuld be n the persn we are listening t withut distractins. Then develp empathy. We ften see the wrld thrugh ur wn experiences. When we're empathetic, we can understand a situatin frm smene else's pint f view. At last, listen t ur wn "cues". Our cues are the thughts, feelings and physical reactins that we have when we feel anxius r angry, and they can blck ut ideas and perspectives that we're uncmfrtable with. Mindful listening can help us t be mre aware f ur cues, and allw us t chse nt t let them blck cmmunicatin.
The rule is straightfrward: simply "Listen"! Listen carefully and attentively. Pay full attentin t the ther persn, and dn't let ther thughts, like what we are ging t say next, distract us.
1.What's the functin f the first paragraph?
A.T intrduce the tpic.B.T make a cnclusin.
C.T criticize the distractins.D.T describe daily situatins.
2.What is ne f the advantages f mindful listening?
A.Making a judgment crrectly.B.Sharing messages with the speaker.
C.Stpping peple's running thughts.D.Making sure f feeling understd.
3.What des the underlined wrd "empathy" in Paragraph 5 refer t?
A.The feeling f trusting thers.B.The ability t understand thers.
C.The attitude f caring abut thers.D.The behavir f listening t thers.
4.What can be the best title fr the passage?
A.Applicatins f Mindful ListeningB.Key Elements f Mindful Listening
C.A Research n Mindful ListeningD.An Intrductin f Mindful Listening
10. Anyne wh cmmutes(通勤) by car knws that traffic jams are an unavidable part f life. But humans are nt alne in facing ptential backups.
Ants als cmmute—between their nest and surces f fd. The survival f their clnies depends n ding this efficiently.
When humans cmmute, there's a pint at which cars becme dense(稠密的) enugh t slw dwn the flw f traffic, causing jams. Mtsch, a mathematician in Arizna State University, and his clleagues wanted t knw if ants n the mve culd als get stuck. S they regulated traffic density by cnstructing bridges f varius widths between a clny f Argentine ants and a surce f fd. Then they waited and watched. "The gal was t try t find ut at what pint they are ging t have a traffic jam," said Sebastien Mtsch.
But it appears that that never happened. They always managed t avid a traffic jam. The flw f ants did increase at the beginning as ants started t fill the bridge and then leveled ff at high densities. But it never slwed dwn r stpped, even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.
The researchers then tk a clser lk at hw the behavir f individual ants impacted traffic as a whle. And they fund that when ants sense vercrwding, they adjust their speeds and avid entering high-density areas, which prevents jams. Thse behavir may be prmted by phermnes, chemicals that tell ther ants where a trail is. The ants als manage t avid clliding(碰撞) with each ther at high densities, which culd really slw them dwn. The study is in the jurnal eLife.
Can ants help us slve ur wn traffic prblems? Nt likely, says Mtsch. That's because when it cmes t getting frm pint A t pint B as fast as pssible, human drivers put their wn gals first. Individual ants have t be mre cperative in rder t feed the clny. But the research culd be useful in imprving traffic flw fr self-driving cars, which can be designed t be less like selfish humans—and mre like ants.
1.What des the underlined wrd "this" in Paragraph 2 refer t?
A.Surviving.B.Cmmuting.C.Finding fd.D.Aviding jams.
2.Hw did the researchers cntrl the traffic density f the cmmuting ants?
A.By finding ut the dense pints.B.Thrugh clser bservatin.
C.By cntrlling the widths f their path.D.By regulating their numbers.
3.Accrding t the research, why can ants avid traffic jams?
A.They fllw a special rute.
B.They level ff at high densities.
C.They never stp r slw dwn n the way.
D.They depend n their natural chemicals t adjust their speeds.
