21、It all started with a post on social media. One day, when returning home from the grocery store, 25-year-old Polica felt it her duty to help the elderly in her neighbourhood to practise safer social distance during the Covid-19 period. With this in mind, she reached out to her friends through the social media. Unexpectedly, many answered her post, expressing their interest to volunteer. Soon one of her friends Leo joined Polica. They decided to start a project called Invisible Hands Deliver.
Just two days later, they set up a website and had it running. This site allowed the elderly and other at-risk people to make requests for groceries and medicines to be delivered to their homes. The web page also included a call for volunteers, which received over 2,000 sign-ups within the first five days. Soon after, college student Haly came on board, helping Polica and Leo to organize the growing network of volunteers from all over the city. As the situation became worse, Invisible Hands Deliver saw increasing support. Besides volunteering to send groceries for free, they also translated the Invisible Hands flyers(传单)into over a dozen languages, making them able to reach out to more citizens.
All volunteers obey strict safety guidelines, including wearing latex(乳胶)gloves and cleaning shopping bags before the delivery. And volunteers have been instructed to leave the bags of groceries outside doors. Despite keeping the physical distance, volunteers make an effort to connect with the old people, chatting with them from the other side of the door.
Following its success in the city, the organization has spread to other areas. Their acts of kindness have also inspired similar networks to rise worldwide. Invisible Hands Deliver has shown that one is never too young to make a difference. In a time when Covid-19 has forced people apart, the young use technology to bridge the gap, bringing people together.

22、Bananas and apples continue to ripen after being picked. Cherries and grapes do not. The difference between climacteric (后熟的) and non-climacteric fruits matters to fruit growers and greengrocers, who must ensures their products are in excellent condition when arriving at the marketplace. But how those differences originally came about remains unclear.
In a paper in Biology Letters, Fukano Yuya and Tachiki Yuuya of the University of Tokyo offer a suggestion. Fruits, they observe, exist to solve a problem faced by all plants - how best to spread their progeny around. Wrapping their seeds in a sugary flesh, to provide a tasty meal, serves as a way to got animals to do this for them. They do, however, need to ensure their fruits favour the animals most likely to do the distributing. They propose that climacterism or non-climacterism is a way to achieve this. If ground-living animals are the main distributors, then the continuing ripening of fallen fruit is beneficial. If, by contrast, those distributors are tree-living or flying animals, which can feed on unfallen fruit, then non-climacteric fruits will do well.
To test their idea, the two researchers combed through 276 papers about 80 sorts of fruits. They discovered 35 of these fruits were eaten by both groups of animals. But of those where one group or the other were the dominant consumers, 15 of the 19 eaten mainly by ground-living animals were climacteric.
Their assumption is strengthened by other evidence. They point out non-climacteric fruits tend to have vivid colors which may help them stand out amid the leaves, advertising their presence. Climacteric fruits are generally better hidden, making them harder to spot until they have fallen to the ground.
【1】What did the two researchers try to find out through their study?
A.What enables fruits to stay in perfect condition.
B.How some fruits stand out in the trees, but others fail.
C.How many animals play the role of distributors for fruits.
D.Why some fruits stop ripening when picked, and others don't.
【2】What does the underlined word "progeny" in the second paragraph mean?
A.Later generations.
B.Hidden qualities.
C.Fresh fragrance.
D.Unknown disease.
【3】What do we know about non-climacteric fruits?
A.Bananas definitely fall into the category.
B.They may appeal to flying birds.
C.They tend to remain hidden among leaves.
D.Ground-living animals generally feed on them.
【4】What's the best title of this text?
A.The Condition of Products: What Greengrocers Care.
B.The Reproduction of Plants: Depending on Themselves.
C.The Evolution of Fruit: Finding the Right Distributors.
D.The Choice of Animals: Looking for bright-colored fruits.
23、 I travel on a regular basis, although I spend most days working to make a living just like you do. So whenever a chance arises for me to visit a far-off country, I jump at it. When I was studying abroad in Australia, I traveled extensively (广泛地) all over the country with two friends. We booked everything from whale watching to a private flight over Mount Kosciuszko, and racked up (累积) some impressive credit card bills. Another international student almost looked down her nose at our pricey adventures, declaring that she had come to Australia to study, not to empty her saving account on travel.
My question to her came. Why would you come literally halfway around the world to save your money and keep your nose pressed into a book every weekend? Would you go to China and not visit the Great Wall because it costs money? Would you go to Italy and skip visiting the Vatican because it requires an admission ticket?
I know where I would like my life to go in the coming months and years. But there are no guarantees that things will go as planned. In fact, nothing will go as planned.
“Oh, I’ll travel when I retire.” “I’ll travel when the kids are grown.” “I’ll travel when the house is paid off.” How often do we hear others say these? I hear these excuses all the time. But you know what happens? Age. And stress. And, well, life. Life happens and by the time you retire and your kids are grown and your house is paid off, you have bad knees and weak lungs and you simply can’t visit all those places you dreamed about in your youth. How sad! I don’t want to end up like that, holding on to youthful travel dreams that will never be reality.
I often think, what if “sometimes later” never came? So, if you are privileged enough to be able to afford to travel, then you should attack it with curiosity and energy and a sense of adventure. As for me, at the end of the day, I’d rather die with a million memories than a million dollars. Money won’t comfort me on my deathbed, but knowing that I’ve lived a full and fulfilling life might.
So travel young, and travel far.

Europe is home to a variety of cultural treasures. Lonely Planet, the world’s largest travel guide publisher, has offered pairs of cities for culturehungry but timepoor travelers.
London and Paris
It takes you about two hours to travel from London to Paris by Eurostar, a highspeed railway service. The two capital cities have been competing in fashion, art and nightlife for decades-but each secretly looks up to the other.
No one can doubt the grand and impressive beauty of Paris' Louvre Museum, but if you want to save money, you cannot skip the British Museum free to visit. Compared with London, Paris has more outdoor attractions such as the beautiful green walkway La Promenade Plantee.
In Paris, you'll see diners linger over red wine. While in London, you can try some afternoon tea, eat fish and chips or salted cake.
