23、“When I was 14, I'd pick my younger brother up from school," Jen says. "I'd be in charge of checking his homework and making sure that he was fed until our parents got home. " That is one of the things that led Jen, a Stanford Graduate School of Business student, to become interested in how people's perception of their own age can influence their actions.

That curiosity led her to team up with Szu-chi Huang, an associate professor at Stanford, on a series of experiments in which they shifted participants' perception of their own age in order to study the effects on their willingness to help strangers in need.

In one study, researchers set up a stand at a sports event and invited passers-by to write thank-you cards to people they knew. In the process, the researchers shifted participants' subjective age by informing them about the average age of others who had participated in the event. In another, they organized a food-bank donation drive at local farmers' markets. In some instances, they asked teenage volunteers to collect the money, a trick to make participants feel older. In other instances, the volunteers were in their 50s.

The researchers found that when participants perceived themselves as older, they were more willing to do things for others with whom they didn't have a personal connection. “We found that when people are led to feel older, they feel more responsibility," Huang says. "It's like the society is on our shoulders. We feel like we're expected to make this world better for the next generation. w

Organizations involved in social causes might take advantage of the new insights about subjective age to make their recruiting （征募）and fundraising efforts more efficient. "If you want to create an older subjective age among the audience you're trying to reach, recruiting younger volunteers might help," Huang says.

【1】Where does Jen's inspiration of the research topic come?

A．From her professor,

B．From her schoolmates.

C．From her business career.

D．From her early experience.

【2】Why are volunteers in their 50s involved in the donation drive?

A．To attract people's sympathy.

B．To make donors feel younger.

C．To encourage teenagers to work harder.

D．To inform donors of the participants' age.

【3】What may happen when people feel they are older than the volunteers?

A．They shoulder more responsibility.

B．They build stronger connections with others.

C．They have a better understanding of the world.

D．They feel more hopeful about the next generation.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The outcome of the study.

B．The benefit of social causes.

C．The practical value of the study.

D．The importance of subjective age.

24、Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, beginning in the 1970s, pioneered a method of planting young native species close together to quickly create tiny forests on urban wasteland. He found that protected areas around temples in Japan contained a huge variety of native plants that co-existed to produce adaptable and diverse ecosystems. The forests were layered together from four categories of native plantings: main tree species, sub-species, bushes, and ground-covering herbs. Using this four-category system, along with his explorations of the vegetation in Japan, Miyawaki designed his own system for planting forests.

Miyawaki forests can grow into mature ecosystems in just 20 years-about 10 times the growth speed of a traditional forest, explained Kazue Fujiwara who worked with Miyawaki. According to Fujiwara, the planting should center on the primary trees of the location. Native species require no maintenance (养护) after the first two years and are more likely to survive and grow well in the local environmental conditions. What's more, they provide an ideal home for endangered species.

When Shubhendu Sharma learned about Miyawaki's forest creation technique in 2009, the botanist created a forest at the Toyota factory in India where Sharma worked as an engineer. Shortly, he started a company to create similar forests, researching the method and trying it in his own backyard. He described his work in a 2014 TED Talk, and released his version of the instructions so anyone could learn how to create their own small native forest. Since then, Sharma's company, Afforestt, has helped plant forests in 44 cities.

Now, Miyawaki-style urban forests have been springing up across Europe. Cities in Asia are embracing the idea, with Pakistani minister announcing plans for 50 Miyawaki forests in Lahore, and Indian officials setting a target to plant 1,000 in Chennai.

【1】What inspired Miyawaki to develop his method of planting forests?

A．A lack of urban green space.

B．The forests near the temples.

C．A drop of biodiversity in Japan.

D．The existence of much wasteland.

【2】What advantage does Miyawaki forest have over a conventional one?

A．It grows much faster.

B．It is maintenance-free.

C．It remains resistant to any disease.

D．It is easier to live with invasive species.

【3】What can be inferred about Sharma from the text?

A．He popularized the method.

B．He ran a woodwork business.

C．He wrote a book on Miyawaki.

D．He enjoyed seeing urban sights.

【4】What does the underlined word "embracing" mean in the last paragraph?

A．Mentioning.

B．Tolerating.

C．Evaluating.

D．Accepting.

25、   When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get _______ with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very _______ because of this.

However, it turned out that my ________ were well-founded. I felt that the ________ between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.

I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I __________ her several times intending to tell her to think carefully about her ________ with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not __________. I had almost given up hope ________ she visited me at my campus a week later.
