21、Some say you can tell a lot about a person by the way they decorate their homes. We often find pleasure in the things we stick in our houses, or paintings to liven up walls. And when we head to others’ houses, we often see things we appreciate but wouldn’t have in our own homes.【1】The point is, the way we decorate our homes is very personal. And while many of us have plenty of stuff, there are always people who go a bit further.【2】
Minimalism was an art movement that started in the 1950s.【3】Some people liked that art style and used it as a way of living. Ideas of vast open spaces with an organized and functional structure may spring to mind. They are usually decorated in simple light colors, or just black and white. For some, especially maximalists, it may seem boring or depressing.
【4】It embraces the ideals of “more is more”. While minimalism centers around the principle of clearing up the unnecessary stuff, it’s easy to imagine that a maximalist home is overflowing with items — but that’s not the basic idea. It’s more about filling the space — making the most of the area. Complicated structures and bold colors combined with mixed patterns is what you will see in a home like this. For a minimalist who is used to “simple” designs, it could be overwhelming.【5】
The way you decorate your home is up to you! But, if you opt for maximalism, you may need to prepare for a bit more dusting.
A．Maybe they’re not quite to our taste.
B．Maximalism is the opposite of minimalism.
C．Its basic principles are derived from a concept of “less is more”.
D．Minimalism and maximalism, which one may appeal to you more?
E．But for those who embrace it, those things give a space personality.
F．However, living in this way is seen by a minimalist as more practical.
G．Addiction to many objects can hold back our freedom and innovation.
22、 Turtles have an unfortunate habit of eating plastic objects floating in the sea. These cannot be digested and may ultimately kill them. It is widely assumed that this fondness for plastics is a matter of mistaken identity. Drifting plastic bags, for instance, look similar to jellyfish (水母), which many types of turtles love to eat. Yet lots of plastic objects that end up inside turtles have no similarity to jellyfish. Joseph Pfaller of the University of Florida therefore suspects that the smell of marine microorganisms (海洋微生物) which grow on floating plastic objects fools turtles into feeding.
The idea that the smell of floating plastic objects might lure animals to their death first emerged in 2016. Researchers at the University of California noticed that certain chemicals, notably dimethyl sulphide (二甲基硫), which are released into the air by floating plastics, are those which many seabirds sniff (嗅) to track down food. These chemicals mark good places to hunt because they indicate plenty of the algae (海藻) and bacteria (细菌). The researchers also found that birds which pursue their food in this way are five or six times more likely to eat plastic than those which do not.
Since turtles are known to break the surface periodically and sniff the air when finding the way to their feeding areas, Dr Pfaller theorised that they are following these same chemicals, and are likewise fooled into thinking that floating plastic objects are eatable.
To test that idea, he and his colleagues set up an experiment. They arranged for 15 turtles to be exposed to four smells: the vapour from deionised water; the smell of turtle-feeding balls made of shrimp and fish meal; the smell of a clean plastic bottle chopped up into ten pieces; and the smell of a similarly chopped bottle that had been kept in the ocean for five weeks to allow algae and bacteria to grow on it.
Two of the smells proved far more attractive to the animals than the others. When sniffing both the smell of food balls and that of five-week-old bottles, turtles kept their nostrils out of the water more than three times as long, and took twice as many breaths as they did when what was on offer was the smell of fresh bottle-plastic or deionised-water vapour.
Though they have not yet tested whether dimethyl sulphide is the culprit, Dr Pfaller and his colleagues think it is the most likely candidate. In an unpolluted ocean, pretty well anything which had this smell would be eatable— or, at least, harmless. Unfortunately, five-week-old plastic bottles and their like are not.
【1】Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that turtles ________.
A.mistake plastic objects for jellyfish
B.are fooled into eating plastics by a smell
C.are dying out as a result of plastic pollution
D.break down plastics without much difficulty
【2】What can we infer from the research on seabirds?
A.Seabirds eat plastics for the taste.
B.The algae and bacteria grow well on plastics.
C.Researchers got the idea from the study of turtles.
D.Some seabirds pursue food in a similar way to turtles.
【3】Dr Pfaller’s research shows_______.
A.turtles prefer the smell of plastics
B.turtles live on marine microorganisms
C.dimethyl sulphide may be to blame for turtles’ death
D.plastics release the same chemicals as microorganisms
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To propose a new way to study turtles.
B.To stress the importance of improving ecosystem.
C.To introduce the findings on the cause of turtles’ death.
D.To explain the effects of plastic pollution on sea animals.

24、2018 FIRST Robotics Competition Game—FIRST POWER UPSM
The adventure begins on January 6, 2018. Play for real! Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors(严酷)of science and technology. We call FIRST Robotics Competition the ultimate Sport for the Mind. High-school student participants call it “the hardest fun you’ll ever have”.
Team Basics
The really cool thing about FIRST Robotics Competition is that all skill levels are welcomed and needed, technical or non-technical. Read more about team basics, time frame, commitment, and skills required.
Cost & Registration
What does it cost to participate? There are costs involved with forming a FIRST Robotics Competition team and they can vary from team to team and region to region depending on what level of participation the team chooses.
Here are some basic cost standards:
There are never any “per student” fees; all costs for individual team members are assumed by the team as a group.
The annual fees for team registration, a robot kit of parts, and event participation are $5,000—$6,000. Additional costs for travel, food, team shirts and other optional items will vary.
