26、 If you have never heard of pawpaw, you are not alone. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the United States. Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the pawpaw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods.
The pawpaw is a kind of fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It is similar in size to a typical mango. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost creamy orange inside. Most people agree that the pawpaw tastes like a combination of bananas, apricots (杏）and mangos. Most people are very surprised by its sweet taste. The fruit has a very short harvest season to three weeks in September and October.
The pawpaw has sold commercially (商品化地).The fruit requires a very special environment—low, wet artas that sometimes flood. In addition, the fruit is good to eat for only two to three days after harvesting. This makes it hard to sell anywhere distant from the pawpaw trees.
Planters are again growing pawpaw trees and harvesting the fruit In several states farmers have organized pawpaw festivals to reintroduce the food to people.
Farmers are trying to grow different kinds of pawpaws that will be easier to ship and sell commercially. Donna and Jim Davis are pawpaw fanners in Westminster, Maryland. They told National Public that they purchased their pawpaw trees in the 1990s and now sell the fruit at farmer markets and online.

C.It is difficult to harvest in the low and wet areas.
D.It needs expensive transportation to the market
【3】What do farmers do to deal with the disadvantage of pawpaws?

27、 When it comes to academic achievement, intelligence is an important factor——but it is certainly not the only, or even the most important factor.
According to a new Australian study, personality is a better predictor of success in school than intelligence as measured by traditional standardized tests. Specifically, students who were more hard-working and opener perform better academically than those who were merely intelligent.
Australian researchers compared measurements of the Big Five personality traits (特性)——extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness to experience——to college students’ grades and test scores. They asked students to complete personality self-assessment, and also asked others who knew the students well to complete assessments of them. They found that the students’ self-assessments were as effective as intelligence in predicting academic performance, and that the reports from those who knew them well were nearly four times more accurate in predicting academic performance than intelligence.
The researchers found that the factors of openness and conscientiousness had the largest influence on academic success, in agreement with previous research which has linked these two traits with various types of achievement Studies have shown openness to experience which has to do with intellectual curiosity, and how excited we get to acquire new information——to be the number-one predictor of creative achievement. Conscientiousness, on the other hand, is only one of the Big Five traits that is consistently predicting success.
“In practical terms, the amount of effort students are prepared to put in, and where that effort is focused, are at least as important as whether the students are smart,” the study’s lead author, Dr. Arthur Poropat of Griffith University’s School of Applied Psychology, said in a statement. “And a student with the most helpful personality will score a full grade higher than an average student in this regard.”
The findings come as an important reminder that children who may not be considered “smart” by traditional measures may still become highly successful through their own efforts. And since personality may be more malleable (可塑的) than intellectual capability, helping struggling students develop beneficial personality traits——particularly intellectual curiosity and a strong sense of work responsibility——may be a powerful means of improving academic performance. Fortunately, high-IQ students who struggle more with attitude and social skills can also learn to develop these qualities.
“Personality does change and some educators indeed have trained aspects of students’ conscientiousness and openness, leading them to greater learning capacity,” Poropat said in the statement. “By contrast, there is little evidence that intelligence can be ‘taught’, despite the popularity of brain-training apps.”
【1】According to the passage, intelligence ________.
A.is one of the Big Five personality traits
B.has a great influence on success in school
C.plays a decisive role in academic performance
D.is more accurate than personality in predicting success
【2】What can we infer from the third paragraph?
A.Students didn’t make self-assessments seriously.
B.Intelligence accurately predicted academic performance.
C.Students’ self-assessments are not related to their intelligence.
D.Assessments done by others are more reliable than self-assessments.
【3】For a creative job, which of the following counts most?
A.Intelligence. B.Responsibility. C.Openness. D.Conscientiousness.
【4】The author tries to imply that ________.
A.high-IQ students have good personality traits
B.intelligence can be developed with brain-training apps
C.personality-training may help unintelligent students achieve success
D.openness and conscientiousness aren’t very important to smart children
28、 The negative health impacts of plastic on both wildlife and humans have been well documented. Recycling contributes to settling the problem. However, the material coming from the plastic recycled using the traditional technology is of lower quality and can only be used a few times for items like clothing or carpets before it has to be thrown away.
Now, French start-up Carbios wants to help alleviate the world’s plastic pollution with a bacterial enzyme (细菌酶) that “eats” PET—the most plentiful plastic used to produce packaging and plastic bottles. The enzyme is able to downgrade 90% of a ton of plastic in less than 10 hours. And the resulting material can be used to create anything and, more importantly, can be continuously recycled.
To break down the plastic, the waste is placed in a reactor with water and the enzyme and heated for 16 hours at 65℃. The resulting mix is then filtered (过滤) and purified (净化). This allows for the recovery of the building blocks that make up PET. These building blocks are then remade into new plastic and transformed into bottles and other items, without having to use more resources.
The recycling process will be tested in a larger range at a new, bigger facility in Lyon, France, by the end of 2021. Once all the problems have been removed, Carbios hopes to bring the technology on the market by 2024.
Though Carbios’s recycling technique will certainly help reduce plastic pollution, Stephan believes it is only part of the solution. We can only win the battle if we do a better job of ensuring that plastic waste does not end up in the environment or in landfills. So the next time you use a plastic bottle, be sure to make the extra effort to place it in a recycling bin.
【1】What does the underlined word “alleviate” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Cut down. B.Reflect on.
C.Keep records of. D.Watch out for.
【2】What is the main characteristic of the material produced by enzyme?
A.It can resist bacteria. B.It can stand high temperatures.
C.It can be sustainably used. D.It is harmless to the environment.
【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A.The sources of the bacterial enzyme.
B.The process of producing plastic bottles.
C.How the bacterial enzyme breaks down PET.
D.How waste plastic is recycled with the bacterial enzyme.
【4】Which statement agrees with the text?
A.The new technology has been put to wide use.
B.Traditional plastic is easily storable and affordable.
C.The promising enzymes technology is in the experimental stage.
D.Bacterial enzymes will completely solve the problem of plastic pollution.

A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
