Last Friday,Britain's Prince William announced the winners of this year's Earthshot Prize.The
prize is meant to encourage new ideas and rapid action to help protect the planet.Below are parts of
this year's prize-winning projects in each category.
Protect and Restore Nature
Kheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its "Greenhouse-in-a-box"idea.
Kheyti is already working with 1,000 farmers across India,which is one of the most climate-affected
countries in the world.The company says the greenhouses allow farmers to use 90%less water and
produce seven times as much food.Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.
Clean Our Air
Charlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air.Ms.Magayi developed a stove (that uses
a fuel that's cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves.Currently,over 200,000 of her Clean
Stoves are being used in Kenya.
Build a Waste-Free World
A London-based company called Notpla (for "Not Plastic")won the prize for building a
waste-free world.They've created a plastic substitute (from plants found in the ocean.Unlike
most plastic,their products break down naturally with no microplastics.Notpla believes their products
can help end the plastic pollution that's filling landfills and polluting oceans.
Fix Our Climate
The Earthshot Prize for working toward fixing our climate went to a company called 44.01 from
Oman.44.01 has come up with a way to turn polluting carbon dioxide(CO2)into a rock called
peridotite.Once the COz has been turned into rock,it can no longer be released into the atmosphere
again.The method that 44.01 uses is fast,cheap and permanent.

More than 20 years ago,Yung-Chi Cheng,a Yale professor in drug development for cancer,had
a pioneering idea:what if he could unlock the potential of ancient Chinese medicines for treating
cancer?What if he could design botanical drugs that would make traditional cancer treatments work
better?No one had done it before.Fellow researchers and experts advised him to change course,
because developing botanical drugs was too complicated and too nisky.But Cheng didn't let the idea
g0.
Now,in a landmark moment in cancer research,Cheng and research partners are launching the
first international clinical trial for a botanical drug,YIV-906.Shwu-Hucy Liu,a postdoctoral
researcher in Cheng's Yale lab,spent hours leafing through ancient Chinese texts at Yale's library
seeking the properties of Chinese herbs.She returned with Huang Qin Tang,a 1,800-year-old
treatment for stomach illnesses,based on which the team developed a drug and tested it on one
thousand mice.
What followed were years of additional testing of the drug's effectiveness for a range of cancers
in multiple human studies involving over 200 patients.The positive effects displayed again and again,
YIV-906 not only reduced the side effects of radiation treatment,but also led to faster recovery and
longer survival rates.
All they need now are larger data sets.When the results of the international trial are available
about three years from now,YIV-906 may find itself next in a long line of breakthrough drugs
developed from natural products,which includes a malaria (treatment developed from the
Chinese herb qinghao,the discovery of which led to a Nobel Prize for chemist Tu Youyou.
It has been a long journey,but if Cheng and his team are successful,it could create a new
approach to treating cancer.They called the new approach "WE"medicine,a combination of Western
medicine and Eastern medicine."It's a totally new model.I've met with a lot of doubt,but think the
results will speak for themselves,"Cheng said.
4.What did fellow researchers initially think of Cheng's research?
A.Creative.B.Comprehensive.
C.Challenging
D.Conventional..
5.Why did Liu refer to ancient Chinese texts?
A.She wanted to question ancient treatment methods
B.She desired to find inspiration for treating diseases.
C.She tried to document the history of Chinese herbs.
D.She determined to find a cure for stomach illnesses.

Middle-school aged children who use the Internet,social media or video games for more than an
hour each day during the school week have significantly lower grades and test scores,according to a
study at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
Researchers say the findings give parents and children a threshold for using
entertainment-related technology-no more than one hour daily on school days and four hours a day on
weekends.
"Interactive technology is widely used to improve children's educational access and achievement,"
said lead author Vivien."During the COVID-19 pandemic,technology is important for remote
learning.But there's a growing concern that too much technology use,particularly for entertainment,
may affect children's educational development by holding them back from learning activities."
In the research,about 10,000 first-year middle school students were surveyed and followed.Their
average age was 13.5 years.The results showed that children who used the Internet for entertainment
four or more hours daily were four times more likely to skip school than those who didn't.Boys used
interactive technology for entertainment more than girls.Boys also performed worse and showed
lower school engagement levels than girls.
"Such findings are important,particularly in the recent online learning in countries throughout the
world,"said Vivien."In a learning environment mixed with the Internet,it is easy for children to move
across educational and entertainment platforms during learning to other activities."
Vivien said children in study who used a bit of technology experienced less boredom at school,
potentially due to the positive effects of participation in social media for students'relationship
building and advancing children's cognitive(认知的)development.
The findings suggest that parents place time limits on their children's interactive technology use,
and that parents and teachers should help children to develop effective time management and
self-regulation skills to reduce their dependence on technology.
8.What's the finding of the study?
A.The Internet is important for children's learning.
B.School kids should keep away from the Internet.
C.More than an hour online a day hurts the learning.
D.Staying online does more harm to boys than girls.
9.What does the underlined word "threshold"in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Punishment.B.Reward.
C.Target.
D.Guideline.
10.What conclusion did Vivien draw from the study?
A.Children under 13 should be kept from online.
B.Schools have the duty to limit online lessons.
C.Online learning helps children manage time.
D.A bit use of technology is helpful to children

Feeling a bit bored?It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas,excite your
creativity or simply give your brain a rest.
Nowadays,in the age of round-the-clock entertainment,it's technically trickier to be bored.If the
show you're watching has lost its spark,you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even
leaving the sofa.But that's not necessarily a good thing.Feeling disengaged from the task in hand,or
a lack of stimulation ()does have its benefits,according to researchers at the University of
Central Lancashire.
Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do.For example,if you decide
there's nothing worth watching on TV,you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby.This,
according to researchers,can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (in
creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the
first time since childhood.
But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation,
waiting for a bus,for instance?The good news is that the boredom you're feeling now could spark
your creativity later,says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal.
People who'd taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas
than another group who'd been given something more interesting to do first.
Ultimately,don't take it for granted that there'll always be something close at hand to entertain us.
With boredom,we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.
12.What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A.Wondering mind can be healthy.
B.Social media can surely entertain us.
C.Being bored may be something good.
D.Being involved in the task is beneficial
13.Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?
A.People were better equipped at home.
B.People were stimulated by boredom.
C.People had more hobbies to choose from.
D.People were more concerned about mental being.
14.What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?
A.To create a boring situation.
B.To reduce people's boredom.
C.To make a funny performance.
D.To show an entertainment at hand.
15.What is the best title of the passage?
A.What is the point of creativity?
B.Are we more easily bored nowadays?
C.Does boredom make us more creative?
D.How can we deal with daily boredom?

The Price of A Dream
I grew up poor in a family with little money and few worldly goods,but plenty of love and
attention.I was happy and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was,they could
still afford a dream.
My dream was sports.By the time I was sixteen,I could crush a baseball,throw a
ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field.I was also lucky:My
high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis,who taught me the difference between sticking to a dream and just
showing determination.One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer between my junior and senior years,and a fiiend recommended me for a
summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket-cash for hanging out with friends,
certainly,money for a new bike and new clothes,and the start of savings for a house for my mother.
The prospect of a summer job was appealing,and I wanted to jump at the opportunity.
Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule,and that
meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing.I was fearing this,but I had to
I stood before him with my head hanging,tying to think of the words that would explain to him
why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his
disappointment in me.
"How much are you going to make at this job,son?"he demanded.
"Three twenty-five an hour,"I replied.
"Well,"he asked,"is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?"
That question struck me like a flash of lightning."A real dream is immeasurable,young man."
He sighed,patted my shoulder and strode away.With tears blurring my eyes,I clenched my fists,
determined to keep pursuing my dream.From that day on,I threw myself into the baseball court,for I
understood success came at a price.Finally,that moment arrived.I heard my name called in the award
ceremony.
