A few months after my son was born, I read Rachel Carson’s essay The Sense of Wonder, which offered suggestions for building connections between children and nature, something I hoped to do with my son.
Carson never had any children of her own, but in The Sense of Wonder, she shared memories of time spent with her young nephew: a nighttime visit to the ocean, a rainy walk in the woods, and listening to soft whispers of wind and insects. She designed the work to be a kind of instruction manual (手册) for parents, assuring them that even if they didn’t have professional wildlife knowledge, they could work to help their kid develop a sense of awe for nature.
According to Carson, a child’s world is fresh, new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. Sadly, for most people, the true instinct (本能) for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring fades and may even disappear before adulthood. Carson suggests, “Exploring nature with your child is largely a matter of becoming receptive to what lies all around you. It is learning to use your eyes, ears, and fingertips, opening up the disused channels of sensory impression.”
I wanted my little baby to experience that fresh wonder. One quiet night, I carried my baby outdoors far from city lights. The sight of the stars washed across our faces like soft light. We looked quietly into the night sky. I waited until my son saw the stars, really saw them. Something seemed to possess him — no words, no gestures, only the raw wonder of seeing. Finally, he lifted his small arm and pointed to the sky, turning his amazed face to mine, as if to say, “Have you seen this, Mama?”
My son was young, barely a year old, but I hoped somehow, if and when I was finally lost to him, he might still treasure the gift from his mama and be able to feel his connection with nature in the soft brown of the garden’s soil and in the stars in the open night sky I showed him when he was just a baby.
4. What is the main purpose of Carson’s essay?
A. To provide practical guidance. B. To share parenting hardships.
C. To restore children’s lost instincts. D. To raise environmental awareness.
5. What does the star-watching experience mainly illustrate?
A. Silent nights inspire lasting awe. B. Nature fuels kids’ inborn wonder.
C. Shared moments build family ties. D. Watching stars generates curiosity.
6. What did the author envision for her son in the last paragraph?
A. Possessing gardening skills. B. Remaining bonded to nature.
C. Returning to nature when lost. D. Treasuring childhood memories.
7. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. A Mother’s Gift B. A Book of Wonder
C. Adventures in the Wild D. Carson’s Advice for Parents
C
Feeling thirsty? Drawing clean water directly from the air is possible, as even extremely dry regions contain some moisture (水汽). Over the past few years, researchers have created sponge-like (海绵状的) materials that make “atmospheric water harvesting” (AWH) possible by absorbing moisture. However, recovering the trapped water usually involves heat and a long wait. Most current systems rely on sunlight to warm these materials. This slow step can take many hours or even stretch into days.
To break this bottleneck, MIT engineers Ikra Shuvo and Svetlana Boriskina identified a much faster method. Instead of heating the water-absorbing materials to release water, they use high-frequency ultrasonic (超声波的) vibrations to shake the moisture loose. These sound waves are precisely tuned to break the weak bonds holding water molecules (分子) in place. This targeted disturbance creates enough force to release the water, shaking it out in small drops.
The new approach elegantly bypasses the materials’ unyielding nature. “Any material that is very good at absorbing water doesn’t want to part with it,” explains Boriskina. “So you normally need to put a lot of energy into pulling water out.” With ultrasound, this process is completely transformed. Lab tests show this method is about 45 times more efficient than traditional heating, freeing the trapped water in mere minutes.
This breakthrough overturns the assumption that AWH systems must absorb moisture overnight and depend on passive sunlight during the day. Powered by a small solar cell, which supplies electricity and also acts as a sensor to detect when the material is wet, the system activates automatically whenever enough water has gathered, allowing the setup to cycle day and night.
The project’s ultimate purpose goes far beyond laboratory efficiency. Boriskina notes it could provide a reliable source of drinking water for remote communities lacking freshwater. As global water crises worsen, this innovation offers a ray of hope, which might be a life-saving solution in the thinnest of air.
8. What does “this bottleneck” mentioned in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The lack of water in dry regions. B. The huge cost of current devices.
C. The slow process of releasing water. D. The poor performance of the materials.
9. How do the ultrasound waves release water from the materials?
A. By heating the watery materials. B. By overcoming the trapping force.
C. By breaking water into small drops. D. By changing the materials’ property.
10. What activates the new device automatically?
A. An electronic sensor. B. A water cycling setup. C. Insufficient water absorption. D. Continuous sunlight exposure.
11. What does Boriskina highlight regarding the project in the last paragraph?
A. Its further research. B. Its practical potential. C. Its current limitations. D. Its technical improvements.
