Recycling is beneficial fr the envirnment. It can als benefit a cmmunity in surprising ways. Mate Lange, 15, knws this well. On weekends, he can be fund srting thrugh glass and plastic bttles and aluminum cans in his hmetwn f Indian River, Michigan, where he leads a cmmunity recycling prgram.
Mate launched the prgram in 2020 when he was just 11 and in the sixth grade, playing baseball with the Nrthern Michigan Cyclnes, a new team that needed funds fr traveling t turnaments. Mate came up with a plan t deal with this need.
“There were cans and bttles always thrwn arund the rad,” he recalled. In Michigan, these can be cllected and exchanged fr cash. With his dad’s help, Mate started a bttle and can drive. It raised$7,500. “We cllected s much mney in just a few weeks,” he says. “S I thught, why nt keep this ging as lng as we can?”
Since then, Mate says, his recycling effrt has raised $350,000 and helped at least 50 lcal yuth grups. It has als prevented mre than 2 millin bttles and cans frm littering the radside and plluting Michigan’s lakes and rivers.
In 2023, Mate was awarded a Glria Barrn Prize fr Yung Heres. “It feels humbling,” Mate says, when asked abut all he’s accmplished with his cleanup effrt. “I am happy knwing that all these teams and clubs and kids arund the cmmunity are benefiting.”
Mate believes everyne can — and shuld — be f service. “Just d a little bit t help make the wrld a little bit f a better place,” he says. “Be creative,” he adds. “Have an idea and build n it.”

It is William Shakespeare, the great ciner, wh is given credit fr the wrd. Crilanus, ne f his characters, cmpares ging int exile（流放）t a “l(fā)nely dragn” retiring t his cave. He was talking abut a physical state: smene wh was lnely was simply alne. Then, thanks t the Rmantic pets, the wrd tk n emtinal meanings. Lneliness became a cnditin f the sul. Fr William Wrdswrth, wh famusly “wandered lnely as a clud”, the natural wrld ffered an escape frm negative feelings f lneliness—a hst f flwers culd prvide “cheerful cmpany”. Tday, lneliness is ften seen as a serius public- health prblem, creating the feeling f discnnectin.
In his bk Slitude, Netta Weinstein, a psychlgy prfessr wnders the rewards f time spent alne. He begins with an accunt f stries f slitude created by figures such as Michel Mntaigne, a writer, and Edward Hpper, a painter. Netta then draw n labratry wrk, interviews and surveys t clarify hw being alne really affects the human mind.
It is cmmn t treat lneliness and slitude as synnyms（同義詞）, but they are nt. The authr suggests that what is negatively described as ne state can be psitively expressed as the ther. Lneliness, ften perceived as negative, can ptentially be transfrmed int a psitive experience f slitude. T this end he emphasizes hw being alne can help restre peple and ffers practical advice. In a nisy wrld, he argues, peple shuld make time t be alne, away frm attentin- grabbing mtives.
The bk’s interviewees mstly regard a lack f cmpany as a cntributr t autnmy. But this depends n whether slitude is desirable r nt. Enfrced slitude, such as that experienced by prisners, typically leads t nthing but suffering. Elective slitude, by cntrast, affrds space fr self- reflectin. It can pen the dr t “peak experiences” such as wnder, harmny, and happiness. In a highly- cnnected digital age, hwever, many readers d nt fancy their chances f ever taking a lng enugh break t have such experiences.
28．Hw des paragraph 1 intrduce the cncept f lneliness?
A．By tracing its develpment.B．By analyzing causes.
C By making a pint t be argued.D．By sharing a rmantic stry.
29．What des Netta Weinstein’s bk Slitude fcus n?
A．The varius terms f slitude.B．The sc ietal impact f slitude.
C．The lng- standing histry f slitude.D．The psychlgical benefits f slitude.
30．Netta describes the state f lneliness as ________.
A．stressfulB．essentialC．changeableD．negative
31．What des Netta mst prbably agree with accrding t the last paragraph?
A．Enfrced slitude is a matter f chice.
B．Enfrced slitude cntributes t autnmy.
C．Elective slitude is rare in the digital wrld.
D．Elective slitude interrupts peak experiences.

Evlutin can perfrm extrardinary makevers; tday’s airbrne sngbirds evlved frm the wingless, earthbund dinsaurs that wandered millins f years ag. But sme rganisms seem t be unchanged — in ther wrds, escape natural selectin. The celacanth, a mdern- day fish, is nearly identical t its 410- millin- year- ld fssils.
Scientists have lng wndered hw these species d s. It has been assumed that natural selectin keeps sme species unchanged by selecting fr mderate r average qualities（stabilizing selectin）rather than selecting fr mre extreme qualities that wuld cause a species t change（directinal selectin）.
But a study published in the Natinal Academy f Sciences USA cntradicts this idea, shwing that evlutin cnstantly favrs different qualities in seemingly unchanging animals t imprve shrt- term survival. In the lng term, thugh, “all that evlutin cancels ut and leads t n change,” says the study’s lead authr, James Strud.
Strud and his clleagues studied fr lizard（蜥蜴）species; all relatively unchanged fr 20 millin years. The researchers caught members f these ppulatins every six mnths fr three years. They measured each lizard’s head size, leg length, mass and height, as well as the size f its sticky tes, nting which individuals survived. Strud expected t bserve stabilizing selectin at wrk preserving mderate qualities. Instead he saw clearer evidence f directinal selectin: sme lizards with unique characteristics, such as stickier tes, survived better.
“The study ffers a gd explanatin fr why we see what we think is stabilizing selectin,” says Tadashi Fukami, an eclgist studying evlutin at Stanfrd University. Many new qualities are evlving in the shrt term, but they dn’t prvide a crucial advantage ver the lng term. In ther wrds, species staying unchanged may simply have fund the best pssible cmbinatin f qualities fr lasting success in their envirnment. S what happens when the lizards’ envirnment changes mre dramatically? T help answer this bigger questin, Strud is still making trips t visit the lizards.
32．Why des the authr mentin the “celacanth fish” in paragraph 1?
A．T demnstrate the pwer f evlutin.B．T add evidence t natural selectin.
C．T give an example f unchanged species.D．T prve species’ extrardinary makevers.
33．What’s the fcus f paragraph 2?
A．Unslved mysteries.B．A cmmn belief.
C．A sharp cntrast.D．Unique characteristics.
34．Hw did Strud cnduct his research?
A．By analyzing lizard fssils.B．By tracking research bjects.
C．By illustrating stabilizing selectin.D．By categrizing qualities f lizards.
35．What will Strud prbably d in the future?
A．Make trips t visit lizard experts.B．Summarize average features f lizards.
C．Reveal the best cmbinatins f qualities.D．Examine lizards under extreme cnditins.

On Mnday mrning I wre my favurite dress t schl fr the first time since I had started at Edisn Middle Schl. I said gd mrning t ur headmaster, Mr. Jrdan, at the schl entrance. With a genuine smile that reached his eyes, he greeted me by name, inquiring abut my weekend and shwing a sincere interest in my day ahead.
That was really cmfrting! It was the day f the petry festival, and I was excited. At my ld schl, I had w n the petry award every year. I’m hrrible at sprts, and t shy t be ppular — but I d write gd petry, althugh I never tld anyne here abut it yet. The pem I wrte fr the Edisn Festival was abut my dad. I wished I wuld surprise my classmates and Mrs. Baker, my English teacher.
When Mrs. Baker called n me, I was s nervus that I had t swallw abut ten times befre I culd speak. But nce I started, I didn’t even bther t lk at my paper. I’d spent s much time perfecting the rhymes that I knew the pem by heart.
I had just started the third line when I nticed Mrs. Baker’s expressin change. She lked at me with a mixture f appreciatin and disbelief. I stpped in the middle f a wrd and waited fr her t say smething.
“Linda, yu are suppsed t be reading a pem yu made up yurself, nt reciting smething yu learned. That is called plagiarism（剽竊）!”
“Oh, but it’s an riginal ne. I did make it up; it’s abut my dad.”I heard a “Yeah, right!” frm smewhere behind me, and smene else laughed. I pened my muth t explain, but n wrds came ut.
“Perhaps yu culd step ut and gather yur thughts, and when yu feel ready, we can discuss this with a clear mind,” said Mrs. Baker.
I’d been standing utside fr 5minutes when Mr. Jrdan came ver t ask me what happened.

Almst in tears, I pured ut the whle stry. With a lump in my thrat, I explained hw much I lved petry and that I had never even cnsidered plagiarizing.
