It unites two of his self-declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but recogni
10、sed his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 2020, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2. In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one
11、 tree per goal. By 2020, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting, he said, “It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team. I ha
12、ve managed to hit the 1, 000th tree milestone in the last two years.”While its something of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick. Football is popular. It cuts
13、through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasing the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown. Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated. While Lesein c
14、ontinues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1. 8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset(抵消)half of all carbon released since 1960.4. Wha

Small deeds, big difference.CResearchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say that the popular dieting strategy of serving food on smaller plates does not necessarily trick us into eating less “Plate size doesnt matte
18、r as much as we think it does,” says Dr. Tzvi Ganel, head of the study in a media release. “Even if youre hungry and havent eaten, or are trying to cut back on portions (份), a serving looks similar whether it fills a smaller plate or is surrounded by empty space on a larger one.”Some dieters may try
19、 eating off of smaller plates, hoping that they will feel full because the serving size appears larger on the smaller plate. This strategy is based on the classic Delbouef illusion (错觉), which found that people seeing a black circle inside a larger circle perceived the circle to be smaller than when
20、 the same sized black circle was placed inside a smaller circle.Researchers determined that hunger seems to help with visual perception of food portions. In the experiment, participants who had eaten recently had a difficult time estimating pizza portions that were placed on larger versus smaller tr
21、ays. But participants who had not eaten for at least three hours were better able to estimate portion sizes correctly. The authors remind that their results only applied to food sizes. Both groups of participants performed about the same when asked to compare sizes of black circles and hubcaps (轮毂)
22、placed inside different sized circles. Study authors say the results suggest that hunger strengthens our ability to analyze and process what we are seeing. “Over the last decade, restaurants and other food businesses have been using progressively smaller dishes to adapt to the perceptual bias (偏差) t
23、hat it will reduce food consumption,” says Ganel. “This study debunks that view. When people are hungry, especially when dieting, they are less likely to be fooled by the plate size, more likely to realize they are eating less and more ready to overeating later.”So dont kid yourself. Put away the Ba

To measure the serving size.C. To have the impression of being full.D. To see whether Delbouef illusion

Which of the following can replace the underlined word “debunks” in paragraph 6?A Disapproves.B. Confirms.C. Reflects.D. Discovers.11. What do

27、r not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employers eye can travel still farther.Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming mo
28、re popular: Reed Screening, a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December 2021 than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “should consider carrying out an online search as
29、part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos, head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn
30、candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth isgoing to be that person who says: Hang on a minute, Im not happy
31、 about that?” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. People may be unable ever to be free of their online past, says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a
32、 decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost. Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social

It boosts the development of education.C. It is becoming increasingly acceptable.D. It highlights the wisdo

They postpone carrying it out.14. What is Mr Erdos opinion on posting comments online?A. Companies are tolerant of it.B. Its influence i
