Plastic is everywhere, but it’s not great for our health or the planet. In the past, a typical box from Amazon — an online shopping platform — arrived 1 with plastic air pillows (枕头) made from flexible plastic film. When plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life.
In studies of 80 marine species that died after swallowing a variety of plastic rubbish, flexible plastic proved to be the 2 . Now Amazon announced that by October 2024, it had removed all plastic air pillows from its delivery packaging. “We want to make sure the final package is easy to 3 at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging.
To make the 4 , the company had to make sure that a replacement would work as well as the plastic version. It actually turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. Amazon worked with suppliers to find a 5 , 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. The paper also takes up less space, so now more 6 fit in a smaller box. That 7 to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery.
It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution 8 into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e-commerce company has made plastic air pillows a thing of history globally is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement.
Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during 9 and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a 10 saving to us.”

The Importance of Willpower
No matter what your goals are in life, willpower is of great importance. Willpower is also of critical importance for behavioral change. Whether you’re 1 a bad habit, trying to get in shape, or struggling with procrastination (拖延症), you’ll need willpower. Of course, I’m all about using strategies to reduce our 2 on willpower, but you cannot remove the need for willpower entirely.
A steady, disciplined use of willpower might seem like a(n) 3 of personal freedom, but it is not. If 4 willpower leaves you a slave to bad habits and addictions, then you’re not really free. If you can’t gather the willpower to overcome procrastination and earn a better life for yourself, then you’re not really free. To 5 true freedom, you’ll need willpower.
Importantly, research has shown that self-control is 6 . When researchers teach people with poor self-control the strategies used by those with high self-control, the poor self-control subjects improve. Willpower is not fixed; it can be developed through strategy and practice.
People who learn to master willpower become active agents in life, and discover that they are response-able in every situation. And this applies to their behaviors as well as their emotions. Walter Mischel described self-control as “the ‘master talent’ 7 emotional intelligence, essential for constructing a satisfying life.”
It’s hard to find anyone who says that willpower doesn’t matter. Yet, despite the 8 agreement about how important willpower is, there is very little agreement in the scientific community about how willpower actually works.
Walter Mischel is the man behind the famous “marshmallow (棉花软糖) test” and the author of a book by the same name. His research appeared to show that young children with high self-control 9 up doing better as high schoolers and adults, but more recent research has proved this finding wrong, showing that the willpower levels of young children are not a good 10 of later success.
This makes sense because the prefrontal cortex — the area of the brain responsible for willpower — is poorly developed in young children and doesn’t finish developing until early adulthood.

How to prosper in an uncertain world
In an age of rapid change, our instinctive desire for certainty may be blinding us to its psychological costs. Humans naturally need answers and typically find uncertainty emotionally 1 . It’s easy to feel anxiety for the future and see certainty as a lighthouse in a darkening time.
But a wave of new scientific discoveries reveals that learning to lean into uncertainty in times of rapid change is a promising 2 to mental distress, not a royal road to anxiety, as many of us assume. A growing body of evidence and a range of new interventions suggest that skillfully managing uncertainty in the face of what’s 3 , new or unexpected is an effective treatment for anxiety. Researchers further observe it is a likely pathway to 4 toughness.
Tolerating and even delighting in uncertainty doesn’t merely help us to accept life’s unpredictability; it also 5 us to learn and adapt. Each day, the brain uses 6 mental models about how the world works, which are used to process a shifting environment. When we meet something unexpected, a neural (神经的) “prediction error” signals a 7 between what we assumed would occur and what our senses tell us.
Yet our uneasy sense of not knowing stimulates a host of 8 neural changes, including heightened attention, boosted working memory and sensitivity to new information. The brain is preparing to update our 9 of the world. Uncertainty offers the “opportunity for life to go in different directions,” says Stephanie Gorka of Ohio State University’s College of Medicine, “and that is fascinating.”
This is why being open to uncertainty is critical for mental well-being. Pioneering work led by Dr. Dugas who 10 the term “intolerance of uncertainty” and Nicholas Carleton shows that being intolerant of uncertainty increases exposure to mental health challenges such as anxiety, eating disorders and depression.
By learning to accept uncertainty, we not only enhance our mental power but also pave the way for personal growth and the discovery of new opportunities.

Audrey Flack — A Photo-realist Representative
The photo-realist movement, emerging in the late 1960s and 1970s in the United States and Europe, desired to produce works indistinguishable from high-resolution photographs. Audrey Flack, an American painter and sculptor whose choice of subject matter added a(n) 1 to the movement, was one of the first artists to use a projection of a photograph as an aid to painting.
Flack graduated from Yale with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1952 and was influenced by her teacher’s Abstract Expressionist style, 2 in her early work. The next year she studied art history at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. During the late 1950s Flack began to 3 herself from this style, which she felt did not communicate effectively or clearly with viewers. She looked to artists such as Spanish Baroque artist Luisa Roldán as models. One representative of her photo-realist paintings was Macarena of Miracles, directly 4 to Roldán’s sculpture Virgen de la Macarena, La Esperanza.
During the 1960s, the artist continued to 5 her photographic method and her subject matter. Unlike male photo-realists such as Richard Estes and Chuck Close, who chose subjects that avoided emotional content, Flack 6 to convey a broader meaning through her work. While going on to create works with sociopolitical commentary, she started to 7 everyday items such as handbags and makeup, using them to question their role in shaping female identity.
A significant painting from this period, Farb Family Portrait (1969–70), was the result of a new working technique. Starting with a slide of the family portrait (肖像), Flack 8 the photo onto the canvas (画布) and used it as her guide for painting. This method relieved her of having to make 9 drawings. She also developed a method of applying paint in layers with an airbrush. Using those innovations, Flack masterfully created a number of symbolic works.
Through these practices, Flack 10 her role as a pioneer who expanded photorealism beyond mere copying, implanting it with layered narratives about identity and societal norms.

Your robot driver is on its way
Driving has many downsides: There’s pollution, traffic, finding a place to park. But worst of all are the crashes. In 2023, an estimated 40,990 people were killed in car crashes in the United States.
Reducing traffic crashes should be among the nation’s highest 1 . Behind each one lie many human errors. People get behind the wheel when they are drunk or sleepy, and they text or talk on their phones instead of paying attention to the road. Or they simply 2 road conditions.
Enormous work has gone into reducing these human errors. But data from Waymo, Alphabet’s self-driving car unit, suggests that a better strategy might be to take the driver out of the picture and let vehicles be 3 by machines that will never get distracted or drunk, or be 4 to break traffic laws because they’re running late.
Waymo robotaxis have logged 33 million miles and the company’s figures show that Waymo robotaxi vehicles deliver 5 better safety performance. Compared with cars driven by humans, Waymo vehicles have been involved in 62 percent fewer police-reported crashes and 78 percent fewer crashes that resulted in injury. Timothy B.Lee, author of the Understanding AI newsletter, pointed out the crashes “were mostly low-speed collisions (碰撞)” that 6 no serious safety risk. “A large majority appeared to be the 7 of the other driver,” Lee said.
It’s too early to know how much self-driving cars could reduce 8 crashes. But it’s reasonable to hope that Waymo will prove safer than human drivers. Governments at all levels should be rushing to knock down regulatory 9 that stand in the way of faster adoption of driverless cars while also ensuring that the companies meet the highest standards for safety and accountability.
In early January, the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association released a proposed policy framework that aims to speed the 10 . The association also calls for a national safety database to provide a better view of crash incidents involving self-driving cars.

We need a fourth white traffic light to ease traffic jams
Engineers propose adding a white traffic light to let self-driving cars ease traffic jams. Studies show this fourth light could help autonomous vehicles (AVs) manage traffic flow and reduce travel time.
Normally, the four-light system works like 1 three-light systems—red means stop, green means go. However, when enough self-driving cars approach a crossroads, the white light activates, 2 the standard signals. This tells human drivers that AVs are now directing vehicle 3 via wireless communication. Human drivers must simply follow the car ahead— 4 its stops or movements.
A researcher, Dr. Ali, said, “Our ‘white phase’ concept taps into the computing power of AVs themselves. Entitling some of the traffic flow control to AVs 5 in any AV case. But we must 6 the white light concept at crossroads to clarify the situation for humans.” The colour of the ‘white light’ doesn’t matter. What’s important is that there should be a signal that is clearly 7 by drivers.
Tests showed that small improvements in traffic flow 8 when as little as 10 per cent of the vehicles at a crossroads were autonomous. Dr Ali said, “For example, when 10 per cent of vehicles are autonomous, you see 9 reduced by 3 per cent. When 30 per cent are autonomous, they are reduced by 10.7 per cent.” While AVs aren’t ready for immediate use, researchers say it would require only minor 10 to crossroads and AV software updates.
Critics warn that relying on humans to follow the “leader” rule poses risks, but the team believes this balances innovation with clear communication during the transition to AVs.

Urban Sketching Retreats (城市写生静修) are Taking Off
Many travellers take pictures during their trips, but others find that slowing down to illustrate a place helps them appreciate it in a more meaningful way. Back in the 1800s, French artists like Eugène Louis Boudin and Claude Monet packed their paint brushes and set off to capture the natural landscape — and in the process, they 1 art as people knew it.
While painting outdoors on the spot has been around for roughly 200 years, the “en plein air” (open-air) art movement 2 by Boudin and Monet has recently inspired a newer trend: urban sketching. This casual, 3 approach to en plein air art is often accompanied by text to tell the story of the artist’s surroundings when they travel.
“Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the 4 . A sketch captures a(n) 5 of people and places in a way that a photograph never can,” says Annette Morris, education director at Urban Sketchers, a global community that organises urban sketching walks for painting 6 .
Alex Hillkurtz, an urban sketcher, believes drawing or painting 7 helps travellers slow down and experience a place in a different way. “While travelling, there’s a tendency to rush through wish-list experiences. Urban sketching retreats allow us to step out of the busy and noisy activities by creating something by hand,” he explains. “As we draw, we notice the beauty in the 8 : the way sunlight warms a scene, the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colours reflected in the water fountain.”
“As an art instructor, it’s wonderful to see how each participant brings a(n) 9 perspective to what’s in front of them,” says Alicia Aradilla, who now leads urban sketching retreats. “Every sketchbook ends up being different; I find that 10 appealing about sketching trips.”

Eat away fire
The African continent has a wide variety of habitat types, but savanna (热带稀树草原) ecosystems cover roughly half. And where there is savanna, there is fire. “It’s an important part of the ecology of the system,” says University of Liverpool ecologist James R. Probert. Burning allows grasses to 1 by keeping taller bushes from spreading on the landscape. Loss of grasses could push out species such as wildebeest (牛羚). A decade ago, researchers believed that the decline in fires in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park was due to the recovery of wildebeest populations after a certain disease. When millions of wildebeest 2 themselves with grass, they remove fuel from the landscape, making fires less frequent and less severe.
However, Probert and his coworkers found that even after wildebeest populations 3 in the mid-1990s, fires continued to decrease in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Their analysis of satellite data revealed a(n) 4 40 percent decline in wildfires between 2001 and 2014—coinciding with dramatic increases in farm animals in the area.
“If you have lots of grass-eating animals, then you have less fire. That’s well known,” Probert says. “But I don’t think anybody had realized the extent of the decline in fire and 5 it to farm animals before.” John Fryxell, a biologist at the University of Guelph, calls this pattern “really interesting.” He warns that 15 years of data is still a small sample for 6 conclusions. “This suggests there’s something interesting here that could provide the 7 for a deeper experimental analysis,” he adds. Future research could include 8 controlling fire frequency or animal populations in certain areas. It can be followed by monitoring the landscape’s response over time.
Probert notes that some areas face a problem where farm animals use up more resources than the land can sustain. He suggests that 9 work with sheep or cattle farmers. They can develop an alternating feeding plan, spreading the animals’ impact over time and space. Studies like Probert’s reveal how wild places like the Serengeti-Mara are 10 connected to human activities. Their findings stress the urgency for sustainable practices to preserve wildlife and ecosystems.

A New Way to Break Down “Unrecyclable” Plastic Waste
The world is miserable at recycling plastics. Currently, just 10-15% of the plastic waste we generate annually is recycled — with the rest burned, buried in landfill or dumped as 1 .
A big part of the problem is that much of the waste is a pile of different dirty plastics mixed with food, inks and labels. It’s expensive to clean and 2 this mess into streams of single-polymer plastic — the kind that is generally needed for conventional “mechanical” recycling, in which plastic is cut, melted and re-formed into small balls, ready for new products.
That explains the excitement around a chemical plant that will start 3 operations this year in northeast England. It can, 4 , take any kind of plastic waste, including mixed plastics considered “unrecyclable”, and break it down into chemicals that are similar to those extracted from oil. With further processing, these chemicals can be turned back into fresh plastic. If successful, it could be a powerful example of a circular manufacturing process — in which plastic is used and reprocessed over and over again — potentially 5 the world’s dependence on fossil resources to make original plastics.
The facility uses a variation on a concept called chemical recycling, which breaks plastics apart into smaller chemical building blocks. Its main competitor in this approach is pyrolysis: heating plastics to temperatures above 450 °C in a reactor without oxygen. But pyrolysis is energy-intensive and 6 , with much of the plastic being turned into something useless.
Mura Technology, the London-based company behind the facility, says it is the first commercial-scale plant in the world to recycle plastic in this way.
Mura has also declared the technology to be “ 7 ” because it “has the potential to help eliminate plastic waste, recycling all types of plastic to create a true circular economy”.
In practice, as Mura explains, the plant is currently picky about its 8 of plastic waste. And because, as with pyrolysis plants, not all of the facility’s products will be 9 as plastic, some critics say that the process shouldn’t count as recycling — an accusation that Mura rejects.
These practicalities raise questions about the future of plastics pollution and whether chemical recycling can live up to its promised potential. The idea is not useless — but the real-life complications around the process make it less groundbreaking than 10 .

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国东北部一家化学工厂处理“不可回收”塑料垃圾的新方式。
1.考查名词。句意:目前,我们每年产生的塑料垃圾中只有10-15%被回收利用,其余的被焚烧、埋在垃圾填埋场或当作垃圾倾倒。根据“burned, buried in landfill or dumped”可知,这里说的是当作垃圾处理,名词“litter”意为“垃圾”,作宾语。故选项D。
2.考查动词。句意:将这些杂乱的东西清理并分类成单一聚合物塑料流是很昂贵的。根据前文“a pile of different dirty plastics”和后文“into streams of single-polymer plastic”可知,需要把不同的塑料进行分类,动词“sort”意为“分类”,符合语意。故选项C。
3.考查形容词。句意:这就解释了一家将于今年在英格兰东北部开始商业运营的化工厂为何令人兴奋。根据后文“With further processing, these chemicals can be turned back into fresh plastic. If successful, it could be a powerful example of a circular manufacturing process”可知,化工厂将开始商业运营,令人兴奋,形容词“commercial”意为“商业的”,作定语。故选项I。
4.考查副词。句意:从理论上讲,它可以处理任何种类的塑料垃圾。根据后文提到实际情况工厂对塑料垃圾有要求可知,这里说的是理论上的情况,副词“theoretically”意为“理论上”,符合语意。故选项K。
5.考查动词。句意:如果成功的话,它可能是循环制造过程的一个有力范例,有可能控制世界在制造原始塑料时对化石资源的依赖。根据后文“the world’s dependence on fossil resources”可知,这种方式可能控制对化石资源的依赖,动词“controlling”意为“控制”,符合语意。故选项A。
6.考查形容词。句意:但热解过程耗能大且效率低,大部分塑料会变成无用的东西。根据后文“much of the plastic being turned into something useless”可知,热解是效率低的,形容词“inefficient”意为“效率低的”,作表语。故选项G。
7.考查形容词。句意:Mura还宣称这项技术具有“革命性”,因为它“有潜力帮助消除塑料垃圾,回收各种类型的塑料,创造真正的循环经济”。根据后文“has the potential to help eliminate plastic waste”可知,这项技术有革命性意义,形容词“revolutionary”意为“革命性的”,作表语。故选项H。
8.考查名词。句意:实际上,正如Mura所解释的,该工厂目前对其处理的塑料垃圾“饮食”很挑剔。根据前文“It can, 4 , take any kind of plastic waste, including mixed plastics considered “unrecyclable”, and break it down into chemicals that are similar to those extracted from oil. With further processing, these chemicals can be turned back into fresh plastic.”可知,先要将塑料垃圾送入化工厂,作为生产新塑料的原料,可将其视为工厂的“饮食”,即diet;结合句中“picky about”可知,工厂对其能处理的塑料垃圾很挑剔,即对其“diet”很挑剔,这是一种比喻用法。故选项F。
9.考查动词。句意:因为和热解工厂一样,该工厂的并非所有产品都会重生为塑料。根据前文“not all of the facility’s products will be”和后文“some critics say that the process shouldn’t count as recycling”可知,不是所有产品都会再次成为塑料,动词“reborn”意为“重生”,符合语境。故选项J。
10.考查动词。句意:这个想法并非无用,但围绕这个过程的现实复杂性使其不如所宣称的那样具有开创性。根据前文提到Mura宣称技术有革命性等,可知这里说现实不如所宣称的,动词“claimed”意为“宣称”,符合语境。故选项E。

Hundreds of Birds to be Renamed
The American Ornithological (鸟类的) Society (AOS) has announced that it will rename all birds that are named after people. The change is being made to ensure that names of people who 1 in discrimination are not attached to the birds.
The AOS, based in Chicago, has maintained a list of English-language names for birds in North America since 1886. In 2020, a petition (请愿书) 2 a change to bird names that were considered harmful was signed by 182 people and submitted to the AOS. A committee 3 that all birds named after people should get new names.
“There is 4 in a name,” said Colleen Handel, the president of AOS. “Some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be 5 .” The new names, she said, would 6 on “the unique feature of the birds themselves.”
The AOS will begin coming up with new common names for the birds early November, focusing on 70 to 80 species in the US and Canada. The scientific names of the species, written in Latin, will not be 7 . The names of birds in Latin America will be considered next. And 8 , the AOS plans to change the names of 263 birds.
Some birds have already gotten a new name. In 2020, the AOS renamed a songbird that had been named after a(n) 9 in the US Civil War (1861-1865) who had been part of the Confederacy, the group of states that was committed to 10 slavery. The songbird’s new name is the thick-billed longspur.
Christian Cooper, a Black bird enthusiast, told The New York Times, “There’s no reason to have a person’s name attached to a bird because it doesn’t tell you anything about the bird.”

Plastic is everywhere, but it’s not great for our health or the planet. In the past, a typical box from Amazon — an online shopping platform — arrived 1 with plastic air pillows (枕头) made from flexible plastic film. When plastic film is thrown away, it often ends up in landfills or in the environment, including the oceans, where it can injure and kill marine life.
In studies of 80 marine species that died after swallowing a variety of plastic rubbish, flexible plastic proved to be the 2 . Now Amazon announced that by October 2024, it had removed all plastic air pillows from its delivery packaging. “We want to make sure the final package is easy to 3 at home,” says Pat Lindner, Amazon’s vice president of sustainable packaging.
To make the 4 , the company had to make sure that a replacement would work as well as the plastic version. It actually turned out to perform better. The number of packages that get damaged in shipment was reduced. Amazon worked with suppliers to find a 5 , 100% recycled paper that’s easier to wrap around an object to protect it. The paper also takes up less space, so now more 6 fit in a smaller box. That 7 to using less gas or electricity, in the case of the company’s electric vans to make a delivery.
It’s a welcome change following years of pressure from environmental groups to stop plastic pollution 8 into oceans. “The fact that the world’s largest e-commerce company has made plastic air pillows a thing of history globally is fantastic news for the world’s oceans,” the nonprofit Oceana said in a statement in response to Amazon’s announcement.
Plastic is cheap, but the new system saves the company money since there’s less risk that something will break during 9 and need replacement, Lindner says. “And so the fact that we can deliver packages more safely and with less damage is a 10 saving to us.”

The Importance of Willpower
No matter what your goals are in life, willpower is of great importance. Willpower is also of critical importance for behavioral change. Whether you’re 1 a bad habit, trying to get in shape, or struggling with procrastination (拖延症), you’ll need willpower. Of course, I’m all about using strategies to reduce our 2 on willpower, but you cannot remove the need for willpower entirely.
A steady, disciplined use of willpower might seem like a(n) 3 of personal freedom, but it is not. If 4 willpower leaves you a slave to bad habits and addictions, then you’re not really free. If you can’t gather the willpower to overcome procrastination and earn a better life for yourself, then you’re not really free. To 5 true freedom, you’ll need willpower.
Importantly, research has shown that self-control is 6 . When researchers teach people with poor self-control the strategies used by those with high self-control, the poor self-control subjects improve. Willpower is not fixed; it can be developed through strategy and practice.
People who learn to master willpower become active agents in life, and discover that they are response-able in every situation. And this applies to their behaviors as well as their emotions. Walter Mischel described self-control as “the ‘master talent’ 7 emotional intelligence, essential for constructing a satisfying life.”
It’s hard to find anyone who says that willpower doesn’t matter. Yet, despite the 8 agreement about how important willpower is, there is very little agreement in the scientific community about how willpower actually works.
Walter Mischel is the man behind the famous “marshmallow (棉花软糖) test” and the author of a book by the same name. His research appeared to show that young children with high self-control 9 up doing better as high schoolers and adults, but more recent research has proved this finding wrong, showing that the willpower levels of young children are not a good 10 of later success.
This makes sense because the prefrontal cortex — the area of the brain responsible for willpower — is poorly developed in young children and doesn’t finish developing until early adulthood.

The Hackers Who Protect Your Security
Have you ever locked yourself out of your house and had to try to break in? First you get a sense of accomplishment in succeeding. But then comes the 1 realization that if you can break into your own place as an amateur, a professional could do it five times faster. So you look for the weak 2 in your security and fix it. Well, that’s more or less how the DefCon hackers (黑客) conference works.
Every year, hackers meet in Las Vegas to test their knowledge and 3 . Mention the word “hacker” and many of us picture a seventeen-year-old student sitting in a bedroom, illegally hacking into the government systems. But that is actually a(n) 4 of what most hackers do.
The activities that take place at DefCon have an enormous impact on our daily lives. Here, computer addicts who can’t break the habit or resist the challenge of finding security gaps 5 all kinds of systems, from the internet to mobile communications to household door locks. And then they try to hack them. In doing so, they do us all a great service by passing on their findings to industry, which can then 6 the security holes.
If you’re among those who 7 the DefCon attendees as a bunch of social misfits, then you probably have the same password for 90 percent of your online existence, which is risky. Even if you think you’re being clever by using your grandmother’s birth date backwards as a password, you’re no 8 for these people. There is no greater 9 to be found online than that of an average Internet user. I’m happy to admit that I’m one of them. I’m also aware that there are other people out there who are trying to get more and more access to our personal data. Sadly, we have few tools to protect ourselves. But there is a group of people who are 10 about online freedom and have the means to help us protect our privacy. Many of them can be found at DefCon.

How to prosper in an uncertain world
In an age of rapid change, our instinctive desire for certainty may be blinding us to its psychological costs. Humans naturally need answers and typically find uncertainty emotionally 1 . It’s easy to feel anxiety for the future and see certainty as a lighthouse in a darkening time.
But a wave of new scientific discoveries reveals that learning to lean into uncertainty in times of rapid change is a promising 2 to mental distress, not a royal road to anxiety, as many of us assume. A growing body of evidence and a range of new interventions suggest that skillfully managing uncertainty in the face of what’s 3 , new or unexpected is an effective treatment for anxiety. Researchers further observe it is a likely pathway to 4 toughness.
Tolerating and even delighting in uncertainty doesn’t merely help us to accept life’s unpredictability; it also 5 us to learn and adapt. Each day, the brain uses 6 mental models about how the world works, which are used to process a shifting environment. When we meet something unexpected, a neural (神经的) “prediction error” signals a 7 between what we assumed would occur and what our senses tell us.
Yet our uneasy sense of not knowing stimulates a host of 8 neural changes, including heightened attention, boosted working memory and sensitivity to new information. The brain is preparing to update our 9 of the world. Uncertainty offers the “opportunity for life to go in different directions,” says Stephanie Gorka of Ohio State University’s College of Medicine, “and that is fascinating.”
This is why being open to uncertainty is critical for mental well-being. Pioneering work led by Dr. Dugas who 10 the term “intolerance of uncertainty” and Nicholas Carleton shows that being intolerant of uncertainty increases exposure to mental health challenges such as anxiety, eating disorders and depression.
By learning to accept uncertainty, we not only enhance our mental power but also pave the way for personal growth and the discovery of new opportunities.

Audrey Flack — A Photo-realist Representative
The photo-realist movement, emerging in the late 1960s and 1970s in the United States and Europe, desired to produce works indistinguishable from high-resolution photographs. Audrey Flack, an American painter and sculptor whose choice of subject matter added a(n) 1 to the movement, was one of the first artists to use a projection of a photograph as an aid to painting.
Flack graduated from Yale with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1952 and was influenced by her teacher’s Abstract Expressionist style, 2 in her early work. The next year she studied art history at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. During the late 1950s Flack began to 3 herself from this style, which she felt did not communicate effectively or clearly with viewers. She looked to artists such as Spanish Baroque artist Luisa Roldán as models. One representative of her photo-realist paintings was Macarena of Miracles, directly 4 to Roldán’s sculpture Virgen de la Macarena, La Esperanza.
During the 1960s, the artist continued to 5 her photographic method and her subject matter. Unlike male photo-realists such as Richard Estes and Chuck Close, who chose subjects that avoided emotional content, Flack 6 to convey a broader meaning through her work. While going on to create works with sociopolitical commentary, she started to 7 everyday items such as handbags and makeup, using them to question their role in shaping female identity.
A significant painting from this period, Farb Family Portrait (1969–70), was the result of a new working technique. Starting with a slide of the family portrait (肖像), Flack 8 the photo onto the canvas (画布) and used it as her guide for painting. This method relieved her of having to make 9 drawings. She also developed a method of applying paint in layers with an airbrush. Using those innovations, Flack masterfully created a number of symbolic works.
Through these practices, Flack 10 her role as a pioneer who expanded photorealism beyond mere copying, implanting it with layered narratives about identity and societal norms.

Ancient Books Hold Many Clues
At the National Museum of Classic Books in Beijing, players participate in an immersive (沉浸式的) puzzle-solving game as part of the exhibition. This game, Ancient Book Restorer — Hundred Cities Book, allows players to employ guidebooks to investigate ancient texts and search for hidden clues.
The game begins by scanning a QR code (二维码) found on the guidebook, 1 players to the game’s WeChat mini-program, where they are given the mission to uncover hidden truths within displayed items. Players complete puzzles using clues 2 in ancient objects and rare books.
One of the first puzzles involves a version of Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), the earliest known edition from 1180 during the Song Dynasty. Players must understand the geographic distances between mountains in the text and use a specifically 3 paper ruler with relevant information printed on it to find the answer.
Feng Wanwen, a player, enjoyed using the ruler to find the clues. She emphasized the importance of understanding the text and correctly 4 the ruler to solve the puzzle.
With 83 5 in total, more than 20 provide clues to the game. By reading, analyzing, and using ancient texts and maps, players are 6 through the game. The game encourages players to engage with the displays and 7 examine their educational content.
Puzzle enthusiasts can reserve their spot on the museum’s WeChat account. The game offers two versions: a single-player, where players explore the mysterious 8 of Shan Hai Jing’s pages at midnight, and a three-player version, which involves elements of competition and cooperation.
Since its launch, the game has become popular among puzzle enthusiasts and traditional culture fans, with 9 often sold out within minutes. The game is part of the “Shanhaishe” IP, a virtual community for ancient book protection 10 by the museum, aiming to connect players with cultural heritage (遗产) and inspire them to protect ancient knowledge.

Your robot driver is on its way
Driving has many downsides: There’s pollution, traffic, finding a place to park. But worst of all are the crashes. In 2023, an estimated 40,990 people were killed in car crashes in the United States.
Reducing traffic crashes should be among the nation’s highest 1 . Behind each one lie many human errors. People get behind the wheel when they are drunk or sleepy, and they text or talk on their phones instead of paying attention to the road. Or they simply 2 road conditions.
Enormous work has gone into reducing these human errors. But data from Waymo, Alphabet’s self-driving car unit, suggests that a better strategy might be to take the driver out of the picture and let vehicles be 3 by machines that will never get distracted or drunk, or be 4 to break traffic laws because they’re running late.
Waymo robotaxis have logged 33 million miles and the company’s figures show that Waymo robotaxi vehicles deliver 5 better safety performance. Compared with cars driven by humans, Waymo vehicles have been involved in 62 percent fewer police-reported crashes and 78 percent fewer crashes that resulted in injury. Timothy B.Lee, author of the Understanding AI newsletter, pointed out the crashes “were mostly low-speed collisions (碰撞)” that 6 no serious safety risk. “A large majority appeared to be the 7 of the other driver,” Lee said.
It’s too early to know how much self-driving cars could reduce 8 crashes. But it’s reasonable to hope that Waymo will prove safer than human drivers. Governments at all levels should be rushing to knock down regulatory 9 that stand in the way of faster adoption of driverless cars while also ensuring that the companies meet the highest standards for safety and accountability.
In early January, the Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association released a proposed policy framework that aims to speed the 10 . The association also calls for a national safety database to provide a better view of crash incidents involving self-driving cars.

Imagine walking into a bright office tower ten years aga: the hum of desktop computers and the sight of employees chained to their desks for eight 1 hours. The day begins at 9 and ends at 5, and productivity is measured by 2 , not output. Fast forward to today: the office has no assigned desks, and the workspace exists as much on telecommuting tools as it does in the building. Work has evolved, and with it, so has the very definition of where and how we work. Welcome to the age of the workspace — where flexibility, adaptability, and innovation are to redefine what productivity looks like.
The rise of digital technologies, coupled with globalization, started to 3 the lines between work and location. Remote communication tools and mobile devices have empowered employees to work from anywhere, challenging the concept that productivity is tied to a specific place. The geographical 4 is fading away. Remote work, once considered an exception, has become a mainstream practice.
Remote work, the practice of carrying out professional responsibilities outside the traditional office, has emerged as a game-changer in modern work culture. Greatly 5 by technological advancements, particularly the multiplication of cooperative tools, remote work has transferred from being a mere trend to becoming a vital component of the 6 work style.
The rise of remote work lies in several factors. Rapid globalization has made it possible for teams to collaborate closely across time zones and continents. Technological innovations have birthed multiple digital platforms that 7 effective communication and project management from a distance. Organizations are increasingly recognizing the value of offering flexible work arrangements, contributing to the rise of remote work.
The advantages of remote work extend to benefit employees as well. The employee experience is not merely 8 . It is fundamental to how organizations shape the productivity and well-being of their teams. Today’s employees prefer the independence and flexibility that remote work affords, allowing for improved work-life balance and the removal of time-consuming 9 .

The Art of Persuasion
Persuasion is the art of influencing others’ thoughts, feelings and actions. It’s about 1 people to see things from your perspective, adopt your ideas or take specific actions. When you’re negotiating a business deal, 2 a cause or simply trying to get your point across, persuasion plays a crucial role.
Employers place a great value on employees with persuasion skills because they can impact several aspects of job performance. Besides, teamwork and leadership rely heavily on the power of persuasion to get things done. Without persuasion skills, employees may not be as 3 to or convinced of the importance of an organization’s vision and long-term mission. Effective use of persuasion skills will not only help get your coworkers excited about your ideas, it’ll also help you 4 them to achieve a common goal.
In order to learn the art of persuasion at the workplace, you need to understand how to 5 conflicts and reach agreements. Good communication is the first step in effective persuasion, but 6 and reasoning are just as important. Before you can get somebody on-board with your goal, you should help them understand why they should pursue it. Using 7 aids to back up your ideas can help illustrate your ideas better.
Successful persuasion skills are based on your ability to have positive interactions and maintain meaningful relationships with people. In order to 8 those relationships, you must be able to work in their best interests as well. Your coworkers are more likely to agree with you when they succeed 9 . The more they achieve and the greater progress they make, the more they trust your judgement and strength.
We persuade and get persuaded every day. A vast majority of people favour cooperation and teamwork over traditional 10 structures; no one likes to be told what to do or to be pushed around. Therefore, organizations and leaders should adopt powerful persuasion skills to bring about necessary changes.

We need a fourth white traffic light to ease traffic jams
Engineers propose adding a white traffic light to let self-driving cars ease traffic jams. Studies show this fourth light could help autonomous vehicles (AVs) manage traffic flow and reduce travel time.
Normally, the four-light system works like 1 three-light systems—red means stop, green means go. However, when enough self-driving cars approach a crossroads, the white light activates, 2 the standard signals. This tells human drivers that AVs are now directing vehicle 3 via wireless communication. Human drivers must simply follow the car ahead— 4 its stops or movements.
A researcher, Dr. Ali, said, “Our ‘white phase’ concept taps into the computing power of AVs themselves. Entitling some of the traffic flow control to AVs 5 in any AV case. But we must 6 the white light concept at crossroads to clarify the situation for humans.” The colour of the ‘white light’ doesn’t matter. What’s important is that there should be a signal that is clearly 7 by drivers.
Tests showed that small improvements in traffic flow 8 when as little as 10 per cent of the vehicles at a crossroads were autonomous. Dr Ali said, “For example, when 10 per cent of vehicles are autonomous, you see 9 reduced by 3 per cent. When 30 per cent are autonomous, they are reduced by 10.7 per cent.” While AVs aren’t ready for immediate use, researchers say it would require only minor 10 to crossroads and AV software updates.
Critics warn that relying on humans to follow the “leader” rule poses risks, but the team believes this balances innovation with clear communication during the transition to AVs.

Urban Sketching Retreats (城市写生静修) are Taking Off
Many travellers take pictures during their trips, but others find that slowing down to illustrate a place helps them appreciate it in a more meaningful way. Back in the 1800s, French artists like Eugène Louis Boudin and Claude Monet packed their paint brushes and set off to capture the natural landscape — and in the process, they 1 art as people knew it.
While painting outdoors on the spot has been around for roughly 200 years, the “en plein air” (open-air) art movement 2 by Boudin and Monet has recently inspired a newer trend: urban sketching. This casual, 3 approach to en plein air art is often accompanied by text to tell the story of the artist’s surroundings when they travel.
“Sketching on the go at different places around the globe opens your eyes to everything from the obvious to the 4 . A sketch captures a(n) 5 of people and places in a way that a photograph never can,” says Annette Morris, education director at Urban Sketchers, a global community that organises urban sketching walks for painting 6 .
Alex Hillkurtz, an urban sketcher, believes drawing or painting 7 helps travellers slow down and experience a place in a different way. “While travelling, there’s a tendency to rush through wish-list experiences. Urban sketching retreats allow us to step out of the busy and noisy activities by creating something by hand,” he explains. “As we draw, we notice the beauty in the 8 : the way sunlight warms a scene, the comings and goings of locals in a market and the colours reflected in the water fountain.”
“As an art instructor, it’s wonderful to see how each participant brings a(n) 9 perspective to what’s in front of them,” says Alicia Aradilla, who now leads urban sketching retreats. “Every sketchbook ends up being different; I find that 10 appealing about sketching trips.”

Eat away fire
The African continent has a wide variety of habitat types, but savanna (热带稀树草原) ecosystems cover roughly half. And where there is savanna, there is fire. “It’s an important part of the ecology of the system,” says University of Liverpool ecologist James R. Probert. Burning allows grasses to 1 by keeping taller bushes from spreading on the landscape. Loss of grasses could push out species such as wildebeest (牛羚). A decade ago, researchers believed that the decline in fires in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park was due to the recovery of wildebeest populations after a certain disease. When millions of wildebeest 2 themselves with grass, they remove fuel from the landscape, making fires less frequent and less severe.
However, Probert and his coworkers found that even after wildebeest populations 3 in the mid-1990s, fires continued to decrease in the Serengeti-Mara ecosystem. Their analysis of satellite data revealed a(n) 4 40 percent decline in wildfires between 2001 and 2014—coinciding with dramatic increases in farm animals in the area.
“If you have lots of grass-eating animals, then you have less fire. That’s well known,” Probert says. “But I don’t think anybody had realized the extent of the decline in fire and 5 it to farm animals before.” John Fryxell, a biologist at the University of Guelph, calls this pattern “really interesting.” He warns that 15 years of data is still a small sample for 6 conclusions. “This suggests there’s something interesting here that could provide the 7 for a deeper experimental analysis,” he adds. Future research could include 8 controlling fire frequency or animal populations in certain areas. It can be followed by monitoring the landscape’s response over time.
Probert notes that some areas face a problem where farm animals use up more resources than the land can sustain. He suggests that 9 work with sheep or cattle farmers. They can develop an alternating feeding plan, spreading the animals’ impact over time and space. Studies like Probert’s reveal how wild places like the Serengeti-Mara are 10 connected to human activities. Their findings stress the urgency for sustainable practices to preserve wildlife and ecosystems.

Masterpiece: One Thousand Liof Rivers and Mountains
Wang Ximeng (1096-1119) was a famous but short-lived painter. Tragically, only one of his works 1 One Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains, which is cherished as a rare and precious masterpiece in the art world.
This masterpiece measures 51.5 cm high by11.92 m long, created in simple black ink and ground pigment (颜料) on a long silk scroll. Despite its material simplicity, the painting’s 2 is remarkably complex. It unfolds like a panoramic (全景式的) story of a Southern Chinese landscape, presented with a(n) 3 that hints at Wang’s deep roots in the region.
The landscape is divided into six mountain sections separated by water, 4 linked by bridges. Houses, trees, and figures dot the mountains, shown from various viewpoints. This shifting 5 enables viewers, as they unroll the scroll from right to left, to experience a continuous, immersive narrative of daily activities. It creates a dynamic visual flow, much like watching scenery pass by through a train window.
The painting’s perfection is enhanced by its 6 striking blue-green landscape, or qinglü shanshui, a technique that flourished during the Northen Song Dynasty. Brilliant blue 7 the mountains’ peaks, bold green covers the mountains’ valleys, and pale brown implies the mountains’ bases. This radiant arrangement emphasizes color over line, skillfully using light, shade, and texture to create depth and atmosphere.
This painting 8 with the viewer in a way rarely found in Western paintings. Due to its vast scale but 9 details, it requires multiple viewings at different distances. The first viewing is at a far distance to observe its sweeping grandeur. The second viewing is at a close distance to observe its refined features. The third viewing is at a mid-distance to observe its overall impact. This layered viewing experience deepens the engagement with the artwork, making the paintings feel completely alive. It offers a profound and subtle exploration of the visible world through its 10 — size, rich colors, and expressive details, emitting qi or energy that enlivens the viewer. Ultimately, this masterpiece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its beauty, discovering new horizons with each encounter.

A New Way to Break Down “Unrecyclable” Plastic Waste
The world is miserable at recycling plastics. Currently, just 10-15% of the plastic waste we generate annually is recycled — with the rest burned, buried in landfill or dumped as 1 .
A big part of the problem is that much of the waste is a pile of different dirty plastics mixed with food, inks and labels. It’s expensive to clean and 2 this mess into streams of single-polymer plastic — the kind that is generally needed for conventional “mechanical” recycling, in which plastic is cut, melted and re-formed into small balls, ready for new products.
That explains the excitement around a chemical plant that will start 3 operations this year in northeast England. It can, 4 , take any kind of plastic waste, including mixed plastics considered “unrecyclable”, and break it down into chemicals that are similar to those extracted from oil. With further processing, these chemicals can be turned back into fresh plastic. If successful, it could be a powerful example of a circular manufacturing process — in which plastic is used and reprocessed over and over again — potentially 5 the world’s dependence on fossil resources to make original plastics.
The facility uses a variation on a concept called chemical recycling, which breaks plastics apart into smaller chemical building blocks. Its main competitor in this approach is pyrolysis: heating plastics to temperatures above 450 °C in a reactor without oxygen. But pyrolysis is energy-intensive and 6 , with much of the plastic being turned into something useless.
Mura Technology, the London-based company behind the facility, says it is the first commercial-scale plant in the world to recycle plastic in this way.
Mura has also declared the technology to be “ 7 ” because it “has the potential to help eliminate plastic waste, recycling all types of plastic to create a true circular economy”.
In practice, as Mura explains, the plant is currently picky about its 8 of plastic waste. And because, as with pyrolysis plants, not all of the facility’s products will be 9 as plastic, some critics say that the process shouldn’t count as recycling — an accusation that Mura rejects.
These practicalities raise questions about the future of plastics pollution and whether chemical recycling can live up to its promised potential. The idea is not useless — but the real-life complications around the process make it less groundbreaking than 10 .

Hundreds of Birds to be Renamed
The American Ornithological (鸟类的) Society (AOS) has announced that it will rename all birds that are named after people. The change is being made to ensure that names of people who 1 in discrimination are not attached to the birds.
The AOS, based in Chicago, has maintained a list of English-language names for birds in North America since 1886. In 2020, a petition (请愿书) 2 a change to bird names that were considered harmful was signed by 182 people and submitted to the AOS. A committee 3 that all birds named after people should get new names.
“There is 4 in a name,” said Colleen Handel, the president of AOS. “Some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be 5 .” The new names, she said, would 6 on “the unique feature of the birds themselves.”
The AOS will begin coming up with new common names for the birds early November, focusing on 70 to 80 species in the US and Canada. The scientific names of the species, written in Latin, will not be 7 . The names of birds in Latin America will be considered next. And 8 , the AOS plans to change the names of 263 birds.
Some birds have already gotten a new name. In 2020, the AOS renamed a songbird that had been named after a(n) 9 in the US Civil War (1861-1865) who had been part of the Confederacy, the group of states that was committed to 10 slavery. The songbird’s new name is the thick-billed longspur.
Christian Cooper, a Black bird enthusiast, told The New York Times, “There’s no reason to have a person’s name attached to a bird because it doesn’t tell you anything about the bird.”
