26、Earth Overshoot Day marks the date when humanity has used up nature’s annual resources. In 2020, Earth Overshoot Day fell on August 22, three weeks later than 2019’s date of July 29 as a result of COVID-19 lockdowns, meaning that humanity consumed less resources than last year.
According to research conducted by Global Footprint Network, an international research organization, COVID-19- related lockdowns resulted in a 9.3% reduction in humanity’s ecological footprint compared with the same period last year.
However, we would still need 1.6 Earths to keep up with our current use of ecological resources.
While Mathis Wackernagel, president of Global Footprint Network, called this year’s data “encouraging,” he called for further progress to be made “by design, not by disaster.”
CEO of Global Footprint Network Laurel Hanscom adds, “Sustainability requires that both ecological balance and people’s well-being be ensured over the long-term, therefore this year’s sudden Ecological Footprint reduction cannot be mistaken for progress.”
According to the research, Australia used up its resources in the first half year during its 2019/ 2020 forest fire season.
Wackernagel says, “We’re using up the future to pay for the present. We’ve only got one planet and that’s not going to change.”
The research organization says that sustainability of a society depends on the sound management of ecological resources. To do this, we need to change the way we produce our food, we move around, how many children we have and how much land we protect for wildlife. Reducing our overall carbon footprint by 50% would push the date back 93 days, cutting food waste in half, 13 days. And if we push the date back by 5 days each year, humanity would be using less than one planet before 2050.
【1】What led to less resource consumption in 2020?
A．COVID-19 lockdowns.
B．Improved awareness.
C．The forest fire season.
D．Sound management of ecology.
【2】What is Laurel Hanscom’s attitude towards this year’s data?
A．Negative.
B．Critical.
C．Cautious.
D．Positive.
【3】What can we learn from the figures of the last paragraph?
A．We have reduced carbon footprint by 50%.
B．The more children we have, the wealthier our life are.
C．The way we travel around doesn’t make any difference.
D．Good management of natural resources has a positive effect.
【4】What’s the best title for this text?
A．To reduce carbon footprint of food.
B．Using less resources in 2020 than last year.
C．To encourage humans to use resources slowly.
D．COVID-19 lockdown being good for development.
27、Volunteering is a great way to help others, whether it’s a friend who is struggling with their homework or an elderly person who feels lonely. Helping others can actually help you, too.
【1】
If somebody volunteers, they do something for the benefit of another person or the world around us, such as our local community, without being paid. 【2】 It can be organised, such as work for a charity or helping your neighbour with their food shopping. Many people volunteer to help the environment by picking up litter or planting trees.
How does helping others help you?
Research has shown that volunteering improves our well-being. It can give you a sense of purpose, which can in turn develop your self-confidence and make you feel motivated (有积极性的). 【3】 For example, if you love nature, why not volunteer for a wildlife charity?
How does it impact your health?
【4】 It has been shown to reduce feelings of anxiety (焦虑) because many people find that they are distracted (分心) from their worries by concentrating on the needs of others. Volunteering also provides an opportunity for you to meet and connect with people, “which is good news for our mental health,” says Jolie Goodman of the Mental Health Foundation. 【5】
A．What is volunteering?
B．When do you volunteer?
C．Volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes.
D．It is waiting for someone else to do the work.
E．Volunteering can make you happier over time.
F．This is especially true if you match volunteering to your interests.
G．Studies have shown that volunteering can improve your physical health, too.
28、 Many of us devote valuable time, energy and money to planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. 【1】
Yet, although there are these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK — but not great. 【2】 A classic one for vacation planners is trying to make full use of the money by planning trips that have too many parts. Perhaps you're planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory, but travelling from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness — time to take in our new environment, time to think about our travel experiences. 【3】 Such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add to or remove from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
【4】 Firstly, choose your travel partners wisely, because nothing contributes more greatly to a trip than the right partners. Secondly, don't spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to keep positive. 【5】
A．Planning trips is helpful to us physically and mentally.
B．Thirdly, means of transportation is another big headache.
C．In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided.
D．Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules.
E．Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues.
F．Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and fight against depression.
G．Above all, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more happiness than physical belongings.
29、 Welcome to your future life.
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever.

It's time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeves. Such＂smart technology" is all around you.
