Our lives changed tracks the day ur daughter was brn. My wife and I felt settled in the United Kingdm — we’d even bught a huse 6 mnths earlier — but the arrival f ur daughter frced a mment f reflectin. We wndered whether we shuld mve back t ur native Brazil. I remember lking dwn at ur newbrn baby and thinking abut hw different her life wuld be there. In ur native cuntry, we’d be clser t ur family and culture. But in the United Kingdm, I had the funding and lab resurces I needed fr my cstly and highly specialized research prgram. Wuld such a mve sink my career?
Several events ver the next few mnths nudged us further in the same directin.

Then, a few weeks later, I received a call frm my brther, wh tld me that ur father had passed away. A deep sadness made me feel that I was lsing precius time with my lved nes.
There was n dubt it was the right time t return t Brazil. We applied fr the prfessrships and bth received ffers. It felt like ur persnal and prfessinal lives were falling int place. It wasn’t easy getting started with my research in Brazil. Hwever, I didn’t receive any startup funding fr my lab and I had t share equipment with ther prfessrs. Nine years later, I still haven’t been able t perfrm the kind f experiments that U. K. funding wuld have allwed.
But lking back, I have n cmplaint. We’ve been able t have big meals with ur extended family n weekends. We had a secnd child, and ur kids are grwing up clse t their cusins wh are arund the same age.

Carried by the wind, dust particles (微粒) frm places such as the Sahara Desert can flat halfway arund the wrld befre settling t the grund. As the plastics abandned by humans break dwn int tiny pieces in the envirnment, they, t, travel thrugh the atmsphere. Nw scientists are a step clser t understanding hw these micrplastics travel in the glbe, bth lcally and n lng-distance flights.
Researchers spent mre than a year cllecting micrplastics frm 11 natinal parks and wilderness areas in the western U.S. They examined the particles that settled n dry days and thse that fell alng with rain r snw. In additin t making clear hw micrplastics mve arund, the results, published n Thursday in Science, reveal the seriusness f the prblem: mre than 1 millin kilgrams f micrplastics — the weight f 120 millin t 300 millin plastic water bttles — fall n prtected lands in the cuntry’s western regin each year.
The new findings add t scientists’ cncern ver micrplastics pllutin’s ptential impacts n the envirnment and human health. “We’re nt suppsed t breathe in this material,” says Steve Allen, a micr-plastics researcher at the University f Strathclyde in Sctland, wh was nt invlved in the new study. “Plastics in the envirnment carry all srts f pesticides (农药), heavy metals and all the ther chemicals that we’ve made ver time,” he adds. “They’re ging t carry them directly int ur lungs.”
Since their discvery in ceans in the 1970s, micrplastics — which can be as large as a grain f rice r smaller than a particle f dust — have been fund nearly everywhere researchers have lked: in cities, in Arctic snw, n remte muntaintps. Their presence in areas distant frm the place where humans live has pinted t them being carried by winds.
8. What d the scientists further understand nw?
A. Hw plastic particles travel n the wind.
B. Why it is hard fr plastics t break dwn.
C. Hw dust particles are spreading thrugh the wind.
D. Why Sahara Desert is expanding t the suth f Africa.
9. What d we knw abut the new study?
A. The results shwed the amunt f micrplastics is huge.
B. Researchers cllected micrplastics acrss the U.S.
C. Numerus plastic water bttles were fund each year.
D. Researchers fcused n plastic particles in dry days.
10. What des Steve Allen say abut plastics?
A. They shuld be recycled.
B. They d harm t weather.
C. They carry harmful chemicals t human lungs.
D. They can be used t make all srts f pesticides.
11. What wuld be the best title fr the text?
A. Plastics Bring Abut Debate
B. Micrplastics Are Falling frm the Sky
C. Dust Particles Are Harmful t Our Lungs
D. The Envirnment Is Threatened by Plastics
D
In wrk and in life, we are cnstantly taught that acting early ensures success. Yet after years f studying riginals, I have fund that the advantages f acting quickly are ften utweighed by the dwnsides. It’s true the early bird gets the wrm, but we can’t frget the early wrm gets caught.
Recently, researcher Jihae Shin tested an uncnventinal idea: prcrastinatin (拖延) might bst riginality. Shin asked participants t prpse business fr a cllege empty lt left by a cnvenience stre. When they started the task immediately, they tended t prpse cnventinal ideas-like anther cnvenience stre. When Shin randmly assigned sme participants t delay the task t play cmputer games, they generated mre nvel ideas, like a tutring center r a strage facility. Further experiments shwed neither playing games nr taking a break bsted creativity. Shin cncluded that when yu prcrastinate a task, yu buy yurself time fr divergent (发散的)thinking rather than “seizing and freezing” n ne particular strategy.
Prcrastinatin may be the enemy f prductivity, but it can be a resurce fr creativity. Ancient civilizatins recgnized this lng befre the Industrial Revlutin’s efficiency fever. In ancient Egypt, there were tw different verbs fr prcrastinatin: ne meant laziness; the ther meant waiting fr the right time.
In a classic study, marketing researcher Peter Glder analyzed hundreds f brands, cmparing pineering cmpanies t slwer settlers entering after pineers created markets. The result was striking: pineers failed at six times the rate f settlers.
Settlers are ften labelled as cpycats, but this steretype misses the mark. Instead f meeting the existing demand, they wait until they’re ready t intrduce smething new. They’re ften slw t enter because they’re wrking n revlutinary prducts, services, r technlgies within the categry. In hme vide-game handles, the pineer was Magnavx Odyssey in 1972, which mstly featured basic sprts games. A settler, Nintend, acquired the Odyssey’s distributin rights fr Japan in 1975, and then blew Magnavx ut f the water in the fllwing decade by creating an riginal Nintend Entertainment System. It transfrmed gaming with a user-friendly cntrller, advanced characters, and interactive rle-playing.
12. Which f the fllwing best shws Shin’s finding?
A. He wh hesitates is lst.
B. Mre speed, less effect.
C. Strike while the irn is ht.
D. N pains, n gains.
13. What’s the purpse f Paragraph 3?
A. T supprt a viewpint.
B. T crrect a miscnceptin.
C. T intrduce a practice.
D. T prmte a phenmenn.
14. What plays a key rle in settlers’ success based n Glder’s findings?
A. Ding effective marketing.
B. Mastering strategic timing.
C. Emplying high technlgy.
D. Breaking existing rules.
15. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely selected frm?
A. Seize the Day: The Early Bird Principle!
B. The War f Innvatin: Pineers VS. Settlers.
C. Unlcking Originality: Please Wait a Mment.
D. The Secret t Success: Delaying r Nt Delaying?
