2 . Trees are one of the oldest “citizens (公民)” of our Earth. They keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality and provide food and building materials.
Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns (刺) to warn animals not to go near Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
When trees are 4 years old, they begin to grow very rapidly and become strong enough to face challenges later in life. At the age of 15, trees become young adults. Afterwards, they grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruit.
It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty; it is also a great place for a tree house, or a place for us to read a book, listen to music and so on. If we give the adult tree proper care, it will go on to live healthily for many years.
Gradually, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When a tree becomes hollow (空心的) or part of it becomes dead, it provides a home to small animals and is a source of food for many other animals.
In many ways, the life of a tree is like our own life experience. When we are looking at the life of a tree, we learn that each period of life brings its own form of joy and challenge. So, let’s enjoy every minute of our life and take care of it like planting a tree!

6 . Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the year for 2022 was “goblin mode”: a kind of behavior mode, which means a crazy self-enjoyment, typically in a way that rejects social customs or regulations. If we all got fascinated by making our home comfort and beautiful, it feels like last year was the year we gave up: Welcoming the mess and the chaos in daily life.
Orgamzed mess has been in fashion for a while, after the coming of the term “cluttercore”: the art of having masses of stuff in one’s home and embracing (拥抱) color and noise. Think messy maximalism: Chaos, but lovely designed chaos.
Clean spaces don’t lead a man to innovation and creation. This is the reason why so many geniuses do their work in cluttered surroundings. They don’t see the mess — they see possibility. Ever known the type of person to store crayons in the microwave and books in the washing machine? That’s probably because they are more creative in disorder. Staying messy builds the connections which lead them to new and creative ideas. They believe that messes offer new approaches to seeing the world. So don’t get worried about being messy. That just might spark your next genius invention.
Messy people have their own unique ways of keeping organized. You wouldn’t know from looking at their piles of stuff, but they know exactly what’s in them and how to find what they’re looking for every time. These piles are, in their eyes, well-organized and everything is easy to get. Painters, writers, musicians and creators throughout history have often worked in disorder. They have their unique way to place their objects and that is what they like.

7 . Why do we find ugly-cute animals so attractive? And what makes odd-looking creatures so cute?
Evolution (进化) plays a role. According to Austrian zoologist Erin Fekete, human attraction to childish features, such as big eyes, large heads and soft bodies, is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for the young, assuring the survival of their species. Odd-looking animals such as blobfish, pugs, aye-ayes and bulldogs all share these childish qualities that cause a loving response among humans and a nature to raise and protect. And these childish characteristics increase a person’s “protective behavior, attention and willingness” to care for the individual and reduce the “possibility of aggression towards a child”, says Cyril Drouet, a researcher.
Ugly-cute animals often have other value— some, like the blobfish, live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways. Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh ideas that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer and heart disease.
But while many ugly creatures are strongly adapted to their life in the wild and can provide numerous benefits to the ecosystems they live in, they often still don’t get as much attention as more traditionally cute and beautiful animals, which leads to many of the ugly-cute species being ignored in terms of research.
There are other culture-led factors that also cause our attraction for ugly-cute animals. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable.” says Rowena Packer, a lecturer of animal behavior. “This is partly caused by social media, with many social media influencers showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on Instagram.” she says.
But there are some serious worries around this trend. Veterinarians (兽医) are calling on people not to keep a flat-faced dog, because they suffer from serious health problems. Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively kept experience breathing difficulties, repeated skin problems and eye diseases. So while childish features such as big eyes may make us smile, we might want to reconsider our attraction for “ugly-cute” pets.

8 . On a cold February morning, a short woman with a violin case stood at an entrance to the subway station in Time Square. She opened the case, got out her violin and started to play. She played seven pieces for about 52 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1, 200 people went through the station, most of whom were on their way to work.
Four minutes later, a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to her. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurriedly, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. Al the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 52 minutes the musician played, only 5 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 18 gave her money, but continued to walk their normal pace. She collected $34. When she finished playing and silently left, no one noticed it. No one clapped, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Ronya Bell, one of the musical geniuses in the world. She had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 4 million dollars.
Two days before her playing in the subway, the tickets to her performance were sold out at a theatre in Chicago where the seats averaged $150.
This is a real story. Ronya Bell’s playing at the subway station was organized as part of a social experiment.
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?

C.It was too cold in the subway. | D.People were in a hurry. |
A.They would applaud for the performance. | B.They would urge them to continue walking. |
C.They would stop to enjoy the music. | D.They would give her some money. |
A.To find out people’s reaction under such circumstances. |
B.To practise her skills in playing music in public. |
C.To make an advertisement for her future concert in Chicago. |
D.To make more money. |
A.To tell us the importance of enjoying music. | B.To show us how to play music. |
C.To make us think about our fast-paced life. | D.To report a unique subway performance. |
