    APhD student in Michigan defended her paper while wearing a skirt made ofrejection letters she received while studying. 29-year-old Caitlin Kirbyprinted out 17 of her rejection letters—from scholarships, academic journals,and conferences—then folded each one into a fan. She connected them in rows,and by the end she designed the item into a skirt and wore it.

   She said that the idea behind her unique clothing item came out of adesire to normalize rejection and take pride in overcoming it. "The wholeprocess of revisiting those old letters and making that skirt sort of remindedme that you have to apply to a lot of things to succeed," she said."A natural part of the process is to get rejected along the way."

   Caitlin's adviser, Julie Libarkin, a professor of earth andenvironmental science at Michigan State University, also encourages theacceptance of failure in her students. Libarkin believes it's important for studentsto get into habit of applying for things, and to get used to the feeling ofrejection, so she encourages them to chase after any opportunity that comestheir way. If a student doesn't get the grant or the spot in the academicjournal, that's okay. They'll still have learned something in the process.

   As for Caitlin? Her rejections over the years have led to great things:Since her doctorate, she's won a scholarship to do further research on urbanagriculture in Germany.

   Currently, she's a post-doctoral researcher at the University ofNebraska-Lincoln. As for what the future holds? "I'm prepared to receive afew more rejection letters along the way," she joked heartily, "MaybeI'll make a longer skirt."

24．What can we learn about Caitlin Kirby's rejection letters?

A．She received 17 rejections in total.

B．29 of her rejections were from journals.

C．The rejections were connected into a fan.

D．She made some rejection letters into a skirt.

C．Skeptical.    D．Opposed.

26．Which of the following words can best describe Catlin?

A．Creative and considerate.    B．Caring and determined.

C．Optimistic and humorous.    D．Generous and intelligent.

27．Which of the following may Caitlin agree with?

A．Hard work pays off.

B．Education is the entrance to success.

C

    Ateam from Northwestern University has developed a soft, skin-interfaced sensorthat can analyze the molecular (分子的) composition of sweat for things like cortisol, blood sugar, andvitamin C, sending the data to the wearer's smartphone. This data, theresearchers hope, will allow people to better control their stress levelsthroughout the day.

   Cortisol, also called the stress hormone, can be measured in a person'ssweat. Released from the adrenal glands (肾上腺) under periods of physical and mental stress, it can be a powerfulperformance enhancer—increasing energy production and glucose (葡萄糖) availability for the musclesduring a "fight or flight" situation, for instance being attacked bya lion. However, cortisol can also be released because of modern stressors suchas money problems, issues at work, and other day-to-day worries that if builtup over time, create the chronic anxiety and can lead to an increased risk fordiabetes, depression, high blood pressure and obesity.

   When someone wears the chip sweats, the liquid runs through smallchannels into a series of chemical test sensors that look for differentbiological signals which could suggest a rise in cortisol.

   Previous attempts in years past at creating devices like this werelimited by the need to take sweat samples to laboratories for analysis,removing any ability for the individual to act on the data in a way that mightprevent buildup of stressful feelings, or even an anxiety attack.

   Such a device could be paramount in helping people relievedepressive or stressful feelings (not least because exercising hard enough tocause sweating helps with anxiety on its own).

   Furthermore, the percent of the population of American adults withregular feelings of worry, nervousness, or anxiety is around 11.2%, while thereare nearly 60 million doctors' visits where mental or behavioral health is thechief concern. Putting power into patients' hands—in the form of a detaileddiagnosis of cortisol levels, could help significantly to lower those numbers.

28．What's the function of the newly developed sensor?

A．To examine the component of sweat.

B．To show when one lacks vitamin.

C．To connect wearable devices to smartphones.

D．To control people's stress levels the whole day.

29．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．What may create the profile of chronic anxiety.

B．What may cause the release of the stress hormone.

C．How cortisol can enhance one's energy production.

D．How cortisol can be measured in a person's sweat.

30．Which of the following can replace the underlined word?

A．Significant.    B．Useless.

C．Accessible.    D．Weak.

31．Where is this text most likely from?

A．A product review.    B．A guidebook.

C．A magazine.    D．A science fiction.

D

   There is an "environmental silver lining" as a result of thecoronavirus (冠状病毒) —carbonemissions have been reduced by more than 4%, many wildlife markets around theworld have been shuttered and air quality in some places has slightly improved,Dave Ford, founder of the environmental literacy organization SoulBuffalo,says.

   But thanks to an increase in pandemic-related, non-recyclable materialssuch as take-out plastic containers and masks, 30% more waste has entered ouroceans, he notes. "There's 129 billion facemasks being made everymonth—enough that you could cover the entire country of Switzerland withfacemasks at the end of this year if trends continue," he says. "Anda lot of these masks are ending up in the water." The masks look likejellyfish—in other words, food—to turtles and other wildlife creatures, thus,attractive to those animals and then endangering them, he says.

   Very little of the plastic we use is actually recyclable. Sharon Lernerof The Intercept told Here & Now last year that "the vast majority ofplastic that has ever been produced—79%—has actually ended up in landfills orburned, but not refashioned into new products." Even if the plastics wehave can be reused, Ford says recycling programs across the globe are facingdrastic budget cuts.

   "We're starting to see recycling programs shuttered, waste pickingcommunities operating at 50% or actually shutting down. They are the last lineof defense between plastic and the environment," he says.

   Last year, Unilever planned to cut its use of non-recycled plastics inhalf by 2025. In an interview with Here & Now, Richard Slater, Unilever'schief research and development officer, drew on the industry argument thatplastic packaging is lighter, which means less shipping and therefore fewerdangerous emissions that cause climate change.

   Yes, plastics are lightweight and can cut down on fuel spending. But onthe other hand, plastic waste is being found in every facet of life—even in thedeepest ocean.

32．What does "environmental silver lining" in Papagraph 1refer to?

A．An environmental organization.

B．The closure of some wildlife markets.

C．The decrease of carbon dioxide emissions.

D．Benefits on environment from the coronavirus.

33．Why are facemasks appealing to somesea creatures?

A．They resemble the sea creatures' food.

B．They contain certain unique chemicals.

C．Many sea creatures like to chase plastic by nature.

D．There is a continuous shortage of food in the ocean.

34．What can we learn about the plastic waste?

A．Most of it is recycled into new products.

B．The majority of it is buried or burned.

C．129 billion facemasks end up in the ocean.

D．There is enough budget for plastic recycling.

35．Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A．Plastic can cut down fuel spending

B．Recycling programs are shutting down

C．The coronavirus has caused more ocean plastic

D．Solutions to ocean plastic pollution are being explored

    Icouldn't even sort through the first box of our dog Bama's toys withoutbursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holdingour dog's favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. "It's okay,Lisa," he said. "I'll put these away. Why don't you go outside andget some air?"

    Inodded.

   It had been a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alanand I didn't have children. Our boxer (拳师犬) was our baby. After Bama's death, we couldn't bring ourselves togo through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I'd do it when I wasready. Apparently, I still wasn't.

   Now I sat on my front porch (门廊) and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog,but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn't go through that kind ofheartbreak again.

    Igazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer. Was he real orjust my wishful imagination? I blinked. The boxer was still there. We lockedeyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered myhand. He sniffed it eagerly then he licked (舔) me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap tobe petted.

   This dog was younger than Bama, smaller. He was well-fed andwell-dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someonein the neighborhood, but I'd never seen another boxer around. I would haveremembered if I had.

   "Where did you come from?" I asked the dog, scratching himbehind the ears.

   He just sat there at ease. He didn't seem lost. Just as if he weredropping by for a visit.

   "Alan!" I called. "You have to come to see this!"

   Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then theboxer got up and slowly ran off.

One possible version:

   The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door. I opened itand found my unexpected guest—the mystery boxer, who seemed to still rememberme. He came over lightly and licked my hand, as if trying to erase my painfulmemories. Seeing him follow me from room to room, I gradually felt the ache inmy heart lessen. I suddenly realized that I could pass Bama's favorite toys tomy guest. So each day I would stand at the front door, waiting for the happy momentwhen my guest came and played with the toys.

    Aweek later, a young man I'd never seen before came in to visit. The man saidhis family had just moved to the neighborhood. He asked me if I happened to seea dog, a boxer recently. I said "Yes" and told him actually "myguest" had been paying me regular visits. He looked embarrassed and thenapologized for the trouble his cutie caused for me. I told him there is no needto apologize and actually he was a big help in working through my grief. It hasbeen three years since that day. Now Bama's toys don't just sit in the room,gathering dust.
