26、 Most of us celebrate our birthday with birthday cakes. We probably sing a song, play some fun games, and maybe even open a few presents. Have you ever wondered exactly why we do these things, though?【1】
Most scholars point to the Bible as the earliest known reference to a birthday celebration.【2】Rather than the day Pharaoh was born, however, the celebration was probably held to remember the day when Pharaoh became the King.
It wasn’t until the time of ancient Rome that birthdays were celebrated for common people.【3】Women’s birthdays weren’t celebrated until about the 12th century.
Our modern birthday celebrations with a party and cake didn't come around until the late 18th century in Germany. In fact, Germany is usually considered the birthplace of the modern birthday cake. 【4】After the Industrial Revolution, however, cakes were cheaper and more widely available.
If you’re curious about when we started singing “Happy Birthday to You”,that didn’t happen until the 1920s.【5】It was a song written in 1893 by two teachers, Patty and Mildred Hill, for children to sing in the mornings. In 1924, Robert Coleman published a songbook in which he included “Good Morning to All” but changed the lyrics (歌词) to what we now know as “Happy Birthday to You”. It’s now considered the most recognizable song in English.
A.It mentions Pharaoh's birthday.
B.What is the most common birthday?
C.The song got its start as “Good Morning to All.”
D.When did birthday celebrations begin anyway?
E.Even then, these celebrations were limited to men.
F.So we were born on this day a certain number of years ago.
G.Early on, birthday cakes were usually only available to the wealthy.

28、Wildfire season has begun in many places around the world. The dangerous smoke wildfires produce can spread far and wide. It blocks sunlight, poisons the air and damages the health of people and other living things.
Some of those living things could be the plants in gardens, says gardening expert Jessica Damiano, who writes gardening stories for the Associated Press. Damiano lives in New York City and recently experienced several days of very smoky air. Wildfires in eastern Canada were the source.
Damiano, like other people, limited the time she spent outdoors when the air quality was poor. She also wore a face covering when she had to go outside.
But the plants in her garden had no such escape. They had to breathe the poisoned air through the extremely small holes in their leaves.
Pollutants in smoke landing on plants can block sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis (光合作用). Reduced photosynthesis results in reduced energy. That means slower growth. Additionally, smoke can also affect a plant’s ability to take in nutrients(营养物质).
Brooke Edmunds, a plant scientist and community horticulturalist with Oregon State University Extension, said plants that are affected by smoke for a short amount of time will usually recover quickly. “It depends on how close they are,” she said. “There could also be a localized effect, where one garden is covered in ash(灰烬), and a half-mile away, there’s nothing because that’s the way the wind was moving things around.”
The best thing home gardeners can do is keep an eye on plants. Edmunds suggests giving plants some extra love and care. “Wash the plants gently to remove pollutants left by smoke. Then give them a long, slow drink of water. Most will pull through,” Edmunds said. However, people should not use leaf blower machines to remove ashes from plants because they will risk breathing in what is blowing around.
【1】What happened to Jessica Damiano?
A．She had her house burned in a fire.
B．She couldn’t afford face coverings.
C．She suffered from health problems.
D．She had to deal with poor air quality.
【2】What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A．The bad effects of smoke on plants.
B．The benefits of growing plants.
C．The role of plants in the environment.
D．The importance of water to plants.
【3】What can we learn from Brooke Edmunds’s words?
A．Wind has little effect on plants.
B．Plants can sometimes make a quick recovery.
C．Ashes can spread more than half a mile.
D．Plants close to smoke usually grow well.
【4】How should people protect plants affected by smoke?
A．By pulling them out of the ground.
B．By using leaf blower machines.
C．By washing them with great care.
D．By giving them a fast drink of water.
29、Identifying the chemical makeup of pigment (色素) used in ancient documents, paintings, and watercolors is critical to restoring and conserving the precious artworks. However, despite numerous efforts, scientists had been unable to determine the source of folium, a popular blue dye used to color manuscripts (手稿) in Europe during the middle ages — from the 5th to the 15th century. Now, a team of researchers from Portugal has finally uncovered the mysterious ingredient responsible for the gorgeous blueish-purple color that helped bring ancient illustrations and texts to life.
The research team began by poring over instructions penned by European dye makers from the 12th, 14th, and 15A centuries. They found what they were seeking in a 15th-century text entitled The Book on How to Make All the Color Paints for Illuminating Books. However, translating the instructions was no easy task. It was written in the now extinct Judaeo-Porluguese language, and though the source of the dye was traced back to a plant, no name was mentioned.
However, by piecing together suggestions from the text the scientists were able to determine that the dye was made from the bluish-green berries of the chrozophora tinctoria plant. After an extensive search, the team found a few varieties of the plant growing along the roadside near the town of Monsaraz in south Portugal.
The detailed instructions gave the researchers critical clues — including the best time to pick the berries. “You need to squeeze the fruits, being careful not to break the seeds, and then to put them on linen. The scientist says the detail was important since broken seeds polluted the pigment producing an inferior quality ink. The dyed linen, which was left to dry, was an efficient way to store and transport the pigment during ancient times. When needed, the artist would simply cut off a piece of the cloth and dip it with water to squeeze out the blue color.
Once the key ingredient had been identified, the researchers began to determine the dye’s molecular structure. To their surprise, they found that folium was not like any other known permanent blue dyes — it was an entirely new class of color, one they named chrozophoridin. “Chrozophoridin was used in ancient times to make a beautiful blue dye for painting.” the team wrote in the study. “Thus, we believe that this will not be our final word on this amazing plant and its story and that further discoveries will follow soon.”

A．restore and conserve ancient precious artworks
