The study,published in Nature Communiearions;included more than 500 participants and used an interesting way to test real-world generosity:Participants were asked to watch a movie.While watching,they would occasionally be presented with opportunities to help an upsetting stranger.However,there was a catch:to help,they had to stop watehing the movie and perform a physically effortful task,such as holding an equipment very hard or elicking lots of boxes:This was designed to mirror real-life-situations where-helping often requires actual effort,not just good intentions. The researchers created two different environments for the partieipants.In the poor environment,participants repeatedly encountered low-quality choices that offered small rewards with low chances of success.In the rich environment,they were offered more appealing choices with higher rewards and greater certainty. The results were clear and unexpected:people in the poor 'environment were significantly more likely to stop their movie-watching to help others compared to those in the rich environment. Why?The researchers explain that in a poor environment-where good opportunities are rare-helping others may feel like a good enough choice.But in a rich environment full of choices,people become more picky.They weigh the cost of helping against the high-quality opportunities they might miss out on. 【高二英语第4页（共8页）】 26129B Professor Patricia Lockwood,the senior author,noted that this finding challenges common assumptions about generosity."One of the ongoing debates in social psychology is whether generosity is more common among people with lower income,"she said,"This study suggests that the environment itselt not just income playe a powertul role in shaping how willing we are to.help others 28.How did researehers make the helping task more realistic to real life?

D Food waste and piastic pollution are two of the biggest environmental challenges facing our planet.According to the U..S.Department of Agriculture,30%to.40%of the.nation's food supply ends.up.being wasted.At the same time,plastic is piling up in the wild and oceans,raising concerns about.micro-plastics entering'our water:and.bodies. But.what if we could solve both problems at .once?A.team of researchers at.Cambridge University has developed a,process that turns food waste into,.biodegradable(生物.降解的) plastic,offering a promising solution to these twin environmental challenges. The research,led by.PhD Tianzheng Liu,uses:bacteria(to convert food waste into a type of plastic called polyhydroxyalkanoate(PHA).The team fed the.bacteria with things from food waste,which served as a carbon source.The bacteria then make PHA plastic as a way to store carbon..and.energy.About.90%of the PHA produced can be harvested and shaped.into biodegradable packaging and other products. Current,biodegradable plastic production is.expensive.By(using food waste instead,this new approach could greatly reduce producing costs.The research team found that food waste can be stored for at least one week without harming the process,offering flexibility for industrial-scale collection.They also discovered that the process works well with mixed.food waste,as long as different types of food-are mixed in the same rate.Even the solid leftover from the process can be used.The team is developing it.into-useful materials,creating a truly circular system with no waste left behind. Professor Sha Iin,who supported the project,hopes to speed up the process with industrial partners."We're aiming not only ito deal with:food waste but also reduce producing cost of this eco-friendly material,"she said. 32.What are the two ecological issues the new process aim to solve? A.Soil loss and noise pollution. B.Air pollution and water shortage. C.Eood.waste and plastic pollution.
