Soon after I took my steps into a research lab as a first-year college student, things went wrong. I left all the enzymes (酶) at room temperature overnight, instead of putting them in the freezer. This could have stopped me from performing experiments on my own, but my mentor (导师) Sauria, who was a postdoc, didn’t show anger or disappointment after I ruined all the newly ordered substances.

I went on to work with Sauria for more years and he set me up for success in science. From the start, Sauria showed a level of trust in my experimental skills that I did not always think I deserved. Even when I used 10,000 times more of an expensive reagent (试剂) than I should have, Sauria didn’t roll his eyes. Instead, he guided me through how the reagent works, making it a teachable moment. He also told me stories of his own mistakes, helping me gain lessons from the situation and do better.

After a few months in the lab, Sauria and I started a project together that required us to write a computer program. That was something I had experience in, and it felt great to teach him. Over the years, he’s always been open to a two-way exchange of information, which has led us to develop many successful projects. We even published a paper together — just the two of us. With these results, my confidence increased gradually during the process.

Looking back, I’m thankful to meet the mentor who drilled into me a desire to learn and gave me freedom to contribute my own ideas. I hope all mentors have their own inner excitement about new knowledge and skills and pass it on to others, because undergraduate researchers aren’t just an extra pair of hands in the lab — we’re also future scientists who need direction and encouragement.

Parks and walkways serve as vital sites connecting communities and providing spaces for relaxation, exercise, and social interaction. However, as the sun sets, these spaces can become less inviting and even treacherous. Effective lighting then plays a role in parks and walkways, which not only enhances their visual appeal but reduces the risk of accidents and criminal activity, reassuring people after dark.

Traditional street lighting systems often pose challenges. Conventional systems typically operate on fixed schedules or photocell sensors, resulting in unnecessary electricity usage during daylight hours or when there’s enough light. Moreover, repair teams may struggle with identifying faulty lights or addressing outages quickly, leading to periods of insufficient illumination (照明). Additionally, poorly designed or outdated fixtures can contribute to light pollution, negatively impacting human health.

The development of street light control systems has addressed many of the shortcomings of traditional setups. Smart lighting technologies, equipped with sensors and communication capabilities, enable dynamic control of illumination based on real-time conditions. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and data analytics has reformed modern street light control.

Modern street light control systems have great flexibility, with lighting preferences designed to suit preferences of different parks and walkways. For instance, softer illumination may be preferred in garden settings, while brighter lights may be necessary in high-traffic areas or during special events. Additionally, color temperature tuning allows for adjustments in the warmth or coolness of light, creating different atmospheres and enhancing visibility. The initiative also reduces costs and demonstrates a commitment to the environment.

Apart from authorities, urban planners and lighting designers, successful use of street light control systems relies on more people. Involving local residents and park users in the planning process brings a sense of ownership and ensures lighting solutions that satisfy community needs and preferences. Public feedback mechanisms can also cast some light on visual preferences and usage patterns of the lighting systems.

【小题1】What does the underlined word “treacherous” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Insecure.B.Unappealing.
C.Empty.D.Noisy.
【小题2】What is a problem of traditional street lighting?
A.Lacking sensors.
B.Harming human eyesight.
C.Wasting energy.
D.Requiring frequent repair.
【小题3】Which advantage of modern lighting systems is stressed in paragraph 4?
A.They contribute to cost savings.
B.They create a relaxed atmosphere.
C.They’re environmentally friendly.
D.They’re tailored for specific needs.
【小题4】What is necessary for the lighting systems’ success according to the last paragraph?
A.Official support.
B.Community engagement.
C.Modernized designs.
D.Reward mechanisms.

Bering Sea snow crabs (蟹) are well suited for Arctic (北极的) conditions. But the southeastern Bering Sea is changing to more subarctic conditions through a process called borealization (北方化), according to a report released by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It’s a process that’s also happening in ecosystems on land in Alaska. As a result, cold-water species like snow crabs move away or struggle to survive, while species typically found in warmer regions may spread into borealized areas.

“Like an Arctic ecosystem on land around Kotzebue is traditionally tundra and frozen, you don’t have plants. But as you borealize, you get more plants, even trees. So you can imagine what a huge transformation it is to go from treeless areas to forests. And it’s the same type of thing going from ice-associated to ice-free all year,” Mike Litozov, the lead author of the report, said.

This borealization, brought on by human-caused climate change, has more negative effects on snow crabs in the southeastern Bering Sea. That includes shifts in food availability for snow crabs, which means the species may face starvation, and an increased incidence of bitter crab disease. These were all evident in 2018–2019 when the special barrier — a cold pool of water in the Bering Sea — disappeared, bringing on extreme ecosystem changes that allowed different species of groundfish to move further north. Litozov and his team had previously confirmed that a combination of these factors caused the crash of snow crab populations between the years 2018 and 2019, when the species decreased by more than 90%. The population still hasn’t recovered.

After the last two back-to-back years without a commercial fishery, fishermen have also not fully recovered. The new report indicates the fishery may be entirely displaced in the coming decades. “The recent changes are not part of a one-off event and ecosystem-wide changes are expected to continue to affect snow crab populations in the future,” Litozov said.

【小题1】What can be learned about borealization?
A.It is unique to the Bering Sea.
B.It is usually a natural process.
C.It can cause biodiversity changes.
D.It has a negative worldwide effect.
【小题2】Why does Litozov mention Kotzebue’s ecosystem?
A.To show the pace of Arctic warming.
B.To explain the impact of borealization.
C.To illustrate the value of the ecosystem.
D.To discuss features of Arctic conditions.
【小题3】What challenge do snow crabs face?
A.The food shortage.
B.The fishery development.
C.The threat from fish.
D.The delay of cold pools.
【小题4】What’s the best title of the text?
A.Climate Change Hits Arctic Wildlife
B.Borealization Is Becoming a New Trend
C.Bering Sea Will Lose Snow Crabs Soon
D.Ecological Shifts Drive Snow Crab Decline

Think back to when you were a kid. Movement was natural and brought you pure joy. Whether it was racing to the door or jumping on the playground, those moments were filled with excitement. However, as people grow up, the joy of movement gradually disappears. 【小题1】. They see movement as something they must do to boost health or get in shape. McGonigal, a fitness expert, offers suggestions to help rediscover joy during movement.

Heading out into nature is recommended. McGonigal stated that moving outdoors in nature tends to put the brain in a state of heightened awareness of the present moment, which makes you feel energy and a connection to life. You can feel relief from stress and worry. 【小题2】.

In addition, you should try joining a group. “These days, who couldn’t use another friend or source of support?” McGonigal said. “Make movement social. 【小题3】. Also, people who exercise report being less lonely and having better relationships with others.

【小题4】. McGonigal said, “It’s vital to reflect on pleasant physical experiences from your past. Think about positive exercises you’ve had and try them again.” Besides going back to the old hobbies you’ve missed, you can explore new activities that inspire your passion.

You’ll exercise better by taking an attitude of gratitude. While you’re moving, find ways to appreciate your body, as opposed to monitoring it. 【小题5】. For example, after completing a run, you say to yourself, “Wow, body — that was incredible!” instead of “I’m worn out.” This kind of positive self-talk not only enhances the enjoyment but strengthens your connection with your body, according to McGonigal.

A.Recalling happy moments proves useful
B.Exercise routines become an unpleasant task
C.The joy of movement can transform daily life
D.McGonigal suggests adopting a mindset shift
E.The movement you truly enjoy makes things easier
F.This puts you in a condition that’s relaxed and peaceful
G.Friendships and communities are formed through such movement
