As the saying goes, many little drop of water make an ocean. A small action may lead to major changes took place in society. My friends and I had participated in a voluntary activity at a nursing home last week. We first did some cleaning or washing. After that we spent half an hour chatted with the old people living there. Though it was a tired day, we were happy with that we did. I felt a sense of responsibility by visiting the old. If all of us lend a helping hand to the people in need, they can live in harmony with each other. A society is just as a family. If we are willing to help others, our small actions can make big difference.
—Oh, just ________ and ignoring his feelings.
Memory, they say, is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really made a conscious（自觉的）effort, then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful, there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week, for example, I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night, yet I clearly remember locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “trick” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something, and then find out that you did. One day last month, for example, I was sitting in a barber（理发师）shop waiting for my turn to get a haircut, and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barber shop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and amusing（有趣的）in incidents caused by people's forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years, and we never got tired of hearing new ones. Unfortunately, however, absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “trick” of our memory can cause us great trouble.
Litterati is an app that people can use to upload information about litter they collect outside, such as its appearance, material, location, and brand. Shared online, this information contributes to building a global database of "litter maps" , which can influence policy and packaging design.
"Society's failure to solve the litter problem is not from a lack of trying. There have been public service announcements, and coastal cleanups. But I believe two components are missing from the discussion--community and data," said Jeff Kirschner, the developer of Litterati app.
Uploading pictures to an app shows users that they are not the only ones picking up litter from public places and that others are invested in cleaning the planet, too. And the data accumulates rapidly telling a story that helps people understand who picked up what, where, and when. In this way, people are encouraged to do more.
In San Francisco, the Litterati app was able to identify and map more than 5,000 pieces of litter in order to determine how much was caused by cigarettes specifically. Using this information, the city successfully challenged a lawsuit by tobacco companies and doubled an existing cigarette sales tax, bringing in US $4 million annual revenue(税收).
By joining forces with others using the same platform, individuals are able to take their anti-litter activism to another level. The power of combined data leads to more Extended Producer Responsibility, which is precisely what we want and advocate here-producers are forced to be responsible for dealing with their own products once consumers no longer find them useful and are incentivized to create more environmentally friendly packaging or better policies as a result of that new responsibility.
Litterati takes a refreshingly non-judgmental approach. It shows a positive we-can-do-it attitude. Just as Jeff Kirschner said, "Our goal isn't to shame. It's to provide transparency to the problem. We provide access to data and share insights with cities, citizens and businesses, guiding us all to identify the root cause of the problem, and make informed decisions of how to clean the planet. "

Any time we have to wait,many of us get nervous.Our minds are filled with all kinds of what-ifs.What if the results were bad? What if I failed the final? We try to focus on our work, but the bad thoughts surround us like a pack of wolves.We try to relax, but we just feel too anxious.
Many circumstances in our lives come with a waiting period, which can trigger our anxiety. We probably know that worry isnt very helpful and that it only hurts our health. But we also probably can’t stop. Below are the suggestions for reducing worry while we wait.
Take deep breaths. Sit in a comfortable position with eyes closed. Breathe in, count to five, and then breathe out slowly. Repeat as often as you need. Remember that our breath is available to us at any time. Even one deep breath can help.
Recite（背诵）helpful words. Come up with words of encouragement that you can tell yourself. For example, “I am strong and brave and can get through this.”“ I believe myself and my abilities.” “I am deserving.”
Lead a mindful life. Staying present focused is the key to managing anxiety. One strategy is to give tasks your full attention. For example, if you are doing the dishes, notice how your hands feel touching the sponge（海绵）, notice the smell of the soap, focus on the sound the water makes as it hits each dish, etc.

The bottle gourd (葫芦) is an annual plant that is a member of the same family as melons. It is home to Africa and is believed to be one of the first plants grown by humans, thousands of years ago. Although it was occasionally used as a source of food or medicine, the bottle gourd was most valued for its hard-shelled dried fruit. Multi-functional bottle gourds were used by ancient people all around the world as floats for nets, containers for water and even as musical instruments. What botanists (植物学家) are unsure of, however, is exactly how the bottle gourds was at first transported from Africa to Asia and the New World.
The most usual theory is that bottle gourds simply drifted across the ocean, perhaps as an indirect result of African farmers transporting their crops by river. Bottle gourds are extremely able to float, so if any were to fall overboard during these trips, they were likely to be carried by the river to the open sea, where they would be swept away by ocean waves. Modern researchers have proven that the bottle gourd is able to stand such a journey, able to float in the ocean for hundreds of days and still carrying seeds from which new gourds can be grown.
There are others who believe that the bottle gourd was brought to the New World by African fishermen. The basis of this argument is that any naturally moving bottle gourds would have been washed up on New World beaches, an environment in which they do not naturally grow and then could not survive in. Therefore, humans had to have played a part in their appearance in the New World. Most botanists, however, argue against this theory. They believe those bottle gourds that floated across the ocean may have been carried inland by strong waves or hurricanes to more suitable ecological sites.
29. Why does the writer mention hard-shelled dried fruit?
A. To provide evidence that bottle gourds were planted.
B. To identify various values of bottle gourds.
C. To show how bottle gourds were used as medicine.
D. To explain why bottle gourds received so much attention from scientists.

31. The movement of the bottle gourds is explained by ________.
A. contrasting arguments put forward for natural and human movements
B. identifying the most common reason for their appearance

D. explaining how sea life played a part in the process
