They are a symbol of the Galapagos Islands. The blue-footed bo
21、oby population in the Galapagos has fallen to a third of its size since the1960s. This fact stayed with Will, who grew up bird-watching with his dad around their hometown. Will had never been to the Galapagos, nor seen a blue-footed booby in person, but decided he wanted to help protect them.A few d
22、ays later, he came up with a plan: He could sell blue socks, the same color as the birds feet, to raise money for protection efforts. Will set up his online site The Blue Feet Foundation in March 2016. The website was up for three months before Will and his younger brother Matthew sold their first p
23、air of socks. “We reached out to a lot of people and they wouldnt take us seriously.because we were just kids.”But being “just kids” comes with its own strengths. They made an Instagram account for the foundation and started direct-messaging stars. Will says one of their biggest supporters is his lo
24、ngtime favorite hockey player, Kevan Miller. They have sold about 10,000 pairs of socks to customers in 46 countries, raising about $90, 000 after costs. All profits go to the Galapagos Conservancy and the Charles Darwin Foundation, two research and protection organizations based in the Galapagos Is
25、lands.Wills and Matthews efforts are already having a beneficial effect Their money was used for a blue-footed booby population survey in 2017 by a team of 10 researchers. The researchers report that they did see many more baby birds than in their previous study in 2012.Three years after forming the
26、 foundation, Will got to visit the Galapagos on a week-long school trip. And Will finally got to see a blue-footed booby in person. “I was crazily looking around and when l saw one, it was really cool,” Will said.The brothers have won several awards for their work. But they each say the biggest awar
27、d theyve got is perseverance.24. What inspired Will to protect the blue-footed booby?A. The drop of the birds number.B. His trip to Galapagos Islands.C. His experience of bird-watching.D.

Creative.CFear Of Missing Out (FOMO)Weve all felt it; that uncomfortable feeling when you look through your social med
30、ia feed and see photos of friends having a better time than you or that feeling when you read about a friends amazing job that you chose the wrong life path. This feeling is called FOMO, or fear of missing out.Although people have felt FOMO for hundreds of years, the growth of social media seems to
31、have made the phenomenon (现象) worse. For many, it has now become habit to compare your life with others lives or rather the highlights of their lives; something that previous generations could not do so readily. This skews your sense of normal and brings about feelings like hate, envy and dissatisfa
32、ction. Whats more, marketers have made use of FOMO phenomenon as a means to drive sales. Sales that last a limited time and pop-ups that show other people buying all take advantage of our FOMO.Since the FOMO phenomenon was recognised, it has been increasingly studied by scientists eager to discover
33、its trends and influences. Scientists at Carleton and McGill University discovered that negative FOMO feelings were experienced more often towards the end of the day and at the end of the week and that FOMO was experienced more by people carrying out obligatory (强制性的) work, like jobs and study.This
34、is not to say that people only experience FOMO when they join in an mundane (单调的) activity. In a follow-up study, researchers found that participants who specifically selected one activity over another experienced FOMO when reminded about the other activity, even if their chosen activity was sociabl
35、e and enjoyable, and if the other was unsociable. Moreover, they experienced FOMO whether they were reminded about the other activity through social media or in conversation.Interestingly, although FOMO is widely connected with teenagers and young adults and those who use social media, research has
36、found that people of all ages experience it. Researchers at Washington State University found that it is more closely linked to factors like loneliness and low self-respect. However, for those people, social media can make the problem worse.Some researchers recognise an upside to FOMO, saying that i
37、t can drive you to take action, connect with others and get out of your comfort zone. More often than not, though, FOMO leads to increasing loneliness and even FOJI, fear of joining in, in the belief that your own insights or contributions will not be valued.A rising counter-culture to FOMO, though,
38、 is JOMO the joy of missing out. This includes the pleasure and satisfaction of a night in, doing what you enjoy best, turning off your phone notifications and living in the moment, focusing not on what you lack but on what you have.28 What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. In
39、fluences.B. Reflects.C. Causes.D. Strengthens.29. According to the passage, FOMO _.A. results in JOMO and FOJI in the endB. makes people eager to join in sociable activitiesC. is more often felt by those with low self-respectD. has come into being since the social media appeared30 Which of the follo
40、wing situations uses FOMO to promote sales?A. Offering customers good bargains in the sale.B. Comparing the goods with the ones in other shops.C. Showing an advertisement about the quality of the goods.D. Reminding customers that many people have bought the goods.DRecently, environmentalists have en
41、couraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the seller. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions (碳排放). Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally fri
42、endly.However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. According to a 2008 study, only 11% of carbon emissions in the food production process result from transportation, and only 4% came fr
43、om the final delivery of the product from the producer to the seller.In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples, for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for British people is to buy British apples. However, the apples we
44、buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-saving to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK
45、 is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the tomatoes grow well in the local climate.We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small number of goods are flown t
46、o foreign countries, and these are usually high value, perishable (易腐烂的) goods which we cannot produce locally, such as seafood and out-of-season berries. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny
47、fields using human labour and natural fertilisers (肥料), unlikein Britain, where we use oil-based fertilisers and machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower.Its also worth remembering that a products journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance customers travel to buy th
48、eir food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will wipe out any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce.Recently, some supermarkets have been trying to raise awareness of food miles by labelling (标记) foods with stickers that show it has been imported by air. But the message this gives is too simple. Lots of different factors contribute to a foods carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled.31. What can
