To truly help our planet, we need to connect with it. And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers.
Big Butterfly Count
Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes every day recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount. butterfly-conservation. org to join in.
The Great UK WaterBlitz
This twice-a-year campaign from the Fresh Water Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25-28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with a water testing kit.
The Big Garden Birdwatch
Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details.
Nature’s Calendar
This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk.

14-year-old Naya Ellis has a passion for science since childhood, fueled by her desire to make a meaningful impact in medicine. Her devotion can be traced back to age 7, when she tended to her mother battling breast cancer. Now a freshman at New Orleans’ John F. Kennedy High School, she has developed a creative watch for adults — an invention that earned her the title of champion at the well-known National STEM Challenge.
Naya’s creativity took flight at STEM NOLA, an initiative that helps K-12 students, particularly those from low-income families, engage in hands-on STEM projects. Drawn by a desire to stay productive, she joined the organization’s eight-month STEM fellowship, unexpectedly starting a life-changing journey. From her participation in STEM Saturday — a platform that encourages inventive activities among students, Naya decided to create a watch for stroke (中风) detection, inspired by her grandmother’s own battle with the illness. Thus, WingItt was born.
Using advanced technology, WingItt detects nerve impulses (脉冲) and heartbeats to find early stroke signs before clear symptoms (症状) appear and sends off warnings. Focusing on the elderly — stroke’s most at-risk group, Naya has improved the model to tell stroke signs from other body changes. Moreover, she aims to make it affordable for seniors who cannot afford pricey devices like iPhones or Apple Watches.
With hopes to create change while pursuing her interests, Naya’s story shows STEM education’s life-changing power. Chosen as one of 126 top students nationwide in the National STEM Challenge, she will present her invention WingItt at the coming Washington, D.C. festival, an honor from the U.S. Department of Education.
As she starts her freshman year, Naya hopes to go beyond the world of invention; her ambitions also include excelling in softball, getting a college scholarship, and finally, realizing her dream of becoming an obstetrician-gynecologist — a symbol of hope and strength for women all over the world.
24. Where does Naya’s inspiration for WingItt come from?
A. Her family’s health struggle. B. The initiator’s encouragement.
C. The experience in STEM Saturday. D. Her strong interest in science.
25. What does the text say about WingItt?
A. It can connect to other devices. B. It focuses on serious symptoms.
C. It allows for preventive measures. D. It balances nerve impulses and heartbeats.
26. What can we know about Naya?
A. She aims to gain wide academic recognition.
B. She has a strong sense of social responsibility.
C. She has received a scholarship for the invention.
D. She regards her failures as valuable wealth in life.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. A teen’s award-winning invention. B. The influence of STEM education.
C. A young girl’s pursuit of knowledge. D. A new technology for monitoring health.
C
If you’ve ever picked up plastic while cleaning a beach, you may have held more than waste in your hands. A new study shows microplastics — small plastic pieces under 5 mm — are quickly covered by harmful bacteria. This turns small plastic pieces, wrappers and bottles on the beach into vehicles for carrying diseases.
Microplastics now cover every part of the earth. They are in plastic products and in the air we breathe. More than 125 trillion pieces float in the ocean, and more are found in rivers, soils, animals, and even the human body. But scientists claim that the danger is not just the plastic itself: it’s the Plastisphere — the thin layer of bacteria that grow on each small piece.
A team led by Dr. Emily Stevenson from Plymouth Marine Laboratory & University of Exeter published a new study. They found microplastics in real natural environments — from hospital wastewater to coastal waters — carry bacteria during their whole journey.
To verify their theory, they carried out an experiment and tested five materials: bio-beads, nurdles, polystyrene, wood, and glass. They placed them along a river flowing from highly polluted areas to the sea. After two months, gene tests showed: All plastics, in all places, had pathogens and drug-resistant (耐药的) bacteria. Each microplastic can work as a small, moving dish for growing germs (细菌). It carried super-bacteria from hospital wastewater to beaches, swimming areas and shellfish-growing sites.
“This study shows the risk of disease and drug-resistant germs from microplastics in our oceans and coasts,” said Dr. Stevenson. “We strongly advise volunteers to wear gloves during beach cleanups and wash hands later.”
As microplastics continue to increase around the world, researchers warn that the Plastisphere could make the spread of super-bacteria worse. The study calls for better waste management, closer watch on microplastic paths, quick cuts in plastic waste and unified plans across wastewater, healthcare, and ocean policy.
28. What is a feature of microplastics?
A. They build up in a specific area.
B. They are invisible and hard to break down.
C. They vary in size ranging from 5 mm upwards.
D. They present a greater threat than previously thought.
29. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Promote. B. Release. C. Propose. D. Prove.
30. What is a finding of the experiment?
A. Different bacteria react to plastics differently.
B. Super-bacteria display a strong preference for glass.
C. Certain germs make microplastics their living ground.
D. Drug-resistant bacteria mainly collect in polluted rivers.
31. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. The solution lies in reducing plastic use.
B. People should avoid touching microplastics directly.
C. Super-bacteria will be more common in the near future.

In today’s digital age, where a vast ocean of information is just a click away, the question arises: can one learn too much? Given that no individual can grasp the entirety of human knowledge. However, there exists a phenomenon where excessive learning can lead to inaction, a state of being overwhelmed by too much information.
Consider a scenario where you’re eager to achieve a particular goal. You begin by conducting extensive research, diving deep into the subject. As you absorb more information, it paradoxically (矛盾地) feels like your understanding diminishes. Each new concept or strategy reveals further layers, making the goal seem more complex and out of reach.
This situation is a common trap: the endless pursuit of more information. Although gaining comprehensive knowledge is valuable, that is to say there’s nothing wrong with learning a lot, issues arise when this pursuit obstructs practical application. If learning continuously prevents you from starting, you’ll find yourself stuck, unable to achieve your desired outcomes.
An alternative and more effective approach to achieving goals is to strike a balance between learning and doing. Gather essential information, then transition into action swiftly, even if you feel somewhat unprepared. This is often the best way to learn, as hands-on experience provides insights that theoretical knowledge alone cannot.
The comparison with a baby learning to walk is a good example here. A baby doesn’t learn to walk by sitting and analyzing the process. Instead, it learns by attempting to walk, falling, and then understanding from each fall what works and what doesn’t. Through repeated effort, walking is eventually mastered. This method is applicable to goal achievement too. By engaging in action, learning from the outcomes, and adjusting accordingly, you gradually move closer to your goals.
In summary, while the pursuit of knowledge is valuable, it’s crucial not to let it become a barrier to action. Learning should be a stepping stone to doing, not an end in itself. It’s through the interplay of gathering knowledge and applying it that we can truly progress towards our aspirations. This balanced approach is key to overcoming the paralysis of overlearning and actively moving towards realizing your ambitions.

Urban areas around the world are facing a growing issue: the rise of stray (流浪) animals, including cats and dogs. These animals often struggle to find food and shelter. ____36____ However, with the right strategies, communities can turn the tide and create a safer environment for both humans and stray animals.
One effective step is to establish community feeding stations. These stations should be placed in quiet, low-traffic areas to avoid disturbing residents. ____37____ By providing consistent food sources, communities can reduce the number of stray animals wandering the streets in search of meals.
Another key measure is to promote trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs. ____38____ TNR involves trapping (诱捕) strays, having them neutered (绝育) by a veterinarian, and then returning them to their original location. This not only controls the stray population over time but also helps keep healthy animals in their familiar habitats, where they are less likely to become aggressive.
____39____ Many people want stray animals to be removed from their neighborhoods immediately. Many people abandon pets because they do not understand the responsibility of pet ownership. Local organizations can host workshops on pet care and raise awareness about the consequences of abandoning animals. When residents understand the issues, they are more likely to support protection efforts.
Finally, building partnerships between local governments, animal shelters, and community members is essential. Without such partnerships, individual efforts to protect stray animals often fail to make a long-term difference. Shelters can provide the resources for TNR programs, while volunteers can help monitor feeding stations. ____40____
A. With these efforts, the issues will no longer exist.
B. Take residents’ concerns into consideration is important.
C. They are designed to control the stray animal population.
D. Governments can pass laws that ban animal abandonment.
E. They can also threaten public health if not properly managed.
F. Education also plays a crucial role in stray animal protection.
G. They should also be regularly cleaned to prevent the spread of disease.
