Born in Nairobi, Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens, and his Trees4G
9、oals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener. It unites two of his self-declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but recognised his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 20
10、20, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2. In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one tree per goal. By 2020, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started
11、as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting, he said, “It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team. I have managed to hit the 1, 000th tree milestone in the last two years.”While its som
12、ething of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick. Football is popular. It cuts through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasi
13、ng the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown. Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated. While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the pla
14、nting of 1. 8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset (抵消) half of all carbon released since 1960.4What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?ARelease of too much CO2.BDream of
15、 motivating others.CPassion for sports and nature.DHabit of exercising in the woods.5What did Lesein do in 2020?AHe created a blog for WWF.BHe multiplied his commitment.CHe planted one tree for each goal.DHe extended his work to other teams.6What do the underlined words “own goal” in paragraph 4 ref
16、er to?AAim that is intended to achieve.BAction that harms ones own interests.CPursuit toward which effort is directed.DGoal that is scored for the opposing team.7What can we learn from Leseins story?AUnited, we win.BNo pains, no gains.CLove me, love my dog.DSmall deeds, big difference.Researchers at
17、 Ben-Gurion University of the Negev say that the popular dieting strategy of serving food on smaller plates does not necessarily trick us into eating less. “Plate size doesnt matter as much as we think it does,” says Dr. Tzvi Ganel, head of the study in a media release. “Even if youre hungry and hav
18、ent eaten, or are trying to cut back on portions (份), a serving looks similar whether it fills a smaller plate or is surrounded by empty space on a larger one.”Some dieters may try eating off of smaller plates, hoping that they will feel full because the serving size appears larger on the smaller pl
19、ate. This strategy is based on the classic Delbouef illusion (错觉), which found that people seeing a black circle inside a larger circle perceived the circle to be smaller than when the same sized black circle was placed inside a smaller circle.Researchers determined that hunger seems to help with vi
20、sual perception of food portions. In the experiment, participants who had eaten recently had a difficult time estimating pizza portions that were placed on larger versus smaller trays. But participants who had not eaten for at least three hours were better able to estimate portion sizes correctly. T
21、he authors remind that their results only applied to food sizes. Both groups of participants performed about the same when asked to compare sizes of black circles and hubcaps (轮毂) placed inside different sized circles. Study authors say the results suggest that hunger strengthens our ability to anal
22、yze and process what we are seeing. “Over the last decade, restaurants and other food businesses have been using progressively smaller dishes to adapt to the perceptual bias (偏差) that it will reduce food consumption,” says Ganel. “This study debunks that view. When people are hungry, especially when
23、 dieting, they are less likely to be fooled by the plate size, more likely to realize they are eating less and more ready to overeating later.”So dont kid yourself. Put away the Barbie plates and give it three hours. Then grab that giant plate and dig in. Your eyes will choose the right size.8Why do
24、 some dieters switch to smaller dishes?ATo seek an elegant lifestyle.BTo measure the serving size.CTo have the impression of being full.DTo see whether Delbouef illusion is true.9What helps to judge food sizes accurately?AThe black color.BThe size of circles.CThe strong need for food.DThe delicious

Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employers eye can travel still farther.Even befo
27、re the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening, a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December 2021 than a year earlier. This month the governme
28、nt gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “should consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing suc
29、h online screening. David Erdos, head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may
30、 not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth isgoing to be that person who says: Hang on a minute, Im not happy about that?” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. People
31、 may be unable ever to be free of their online past, says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost. Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. I
32、n the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for jobs. They are “universally terrified”, he says. And rightly.12What can we infer about online screening from paragraph 2?AIt is turne

You will see many people standing around the tables. _16_ Once there is the slightest indication that the customers a
36、re leaving their table, you will see a few people diving for it. The victor will stand at the table proudly waving his relatives or friends over, while the losers will be down in the mouth. _17_ You next have to get the attention of the busy waiters rushing about to attend to the customers. You will
37、 usually hear the words hot water being shouted out as they pass, even if they are not holding any such thing! _18_ In between trying to catch the attention of the waiters and looking through the menu, you will hear customers complaining about the slow service. Once the waiter comes to take your ord
38、ers, he is impatient. Sometimes, these waiters would just walk away from indecisive customers and the latter would have to work hard at getting some attention again. Usually, the waiters shout the orders out to the cooks located deep in the kitchen. _19_ Whenever the crowd gets too thick, the waiter
39、s will ask customers to share their tables with those standing. When the tables are shared by two different groups of people, the loudness becomes incredibly deafening. With plates clanking and people talking loudly, you need to shout to be heard. _20_ The hardworking waiters can finally sit down fo
40、r a chat or have their cigarettes.
