She knew she was different fro
23、m her peers because she could not hear. But a painting class in primary school opened for her a door to creativity and a way of expression.“I still remember my first mural, which was to help a kindergarten to design and paint its wall,” Li says. “The project made me realize how happy I was immersing
24、 myself into painting.”To pursue her passion for art, Li went to study advertising design at a vocational and technical school. “Painting brushes can help me create a colorful world in my imagination, telling my thoughts on paper, instead of through voices,” Li said.Graduating from college in 2005,
25、Li got a job as a typist at a public institute. But she could not communicate well with her other colleagues. Her husband understood how she felt because he lost his hearing due to medication when he was 1 year old. He is also an art lover. In March 2016, under her husbands suggestion, Li quit her j
26、ob and joined her husbands company, which specializes in 3D wall and ground paintings.Wall painting is a demanding job because it requires people to work outdoors, whether in extremely cold or hot weather. As all the people are hearing-impaired in their company, communication with clients is the mos

33、.Vast underwater meadows (草甸) of gently waving sea grass cover hundreds of miles up and down the West Coast. These blue-green fields perform a variety of important services. They protect the shoreline from erosion, clear pollutants from the water and provide habitats for all kinds of marine animals.
34、New research suggests sea grass meadows may also mitigate a serious consequence of greenhouse gas emissions: the steady acidification of ocean waters. The study published in the journal Global Change Biology finds that sea grass forests can raise pH levels in coastal waters. As they perform photosyn
35、thesis (光合作用), they remove carbon dioxide from the water, counteracting the acidifying effect of the gas.“I think we are all very excited about it,” said lead study author Aurora Ricart, a scientist at the Bigelow Laboratory for Marine Sciences.Ocean acidification is a side effect of rising carbon d
36、ioxide levels in the atmosphere. Some of this CO2 dissolves out of the air and into the sea, causing a chemical reaction that lowers the waters pH. Scientists sometimes refer to it as global warmings “evil twin”an invisible companion to climate change.Ocean acidification can have harmful effects on
37、marine organisms like shellfish and coral by preventing them from properly forming the hard shells they need to survive. Its a threat both to natural ecosystems and to shellfish fisheries around the world. The study presents a natural way to address the problem.Researchers analyzed six years of data
38、 from sea grass meadows spanning more than 600 miles off the California coastline. It focused on the common eelgrass, one of the most widespread sea grass species on the West Coast. The authors claim its the largest, most comprehensive study of its kind.According to the study, sea grass ecosystems c

It comes in waves and is influenced by temperature, daylight, ocean currents and other factors that affect water chemistry and sea grass photosynthesis rates. But the tempering influenc
40、e on acidification can be lasting, sometimes persisting for up to three weeks at a time. The study also shows that pH is higher in sea grass ecosystems, compared to nearby areas with no sea grass, about 65% of the time.The study didnt investigate the effects of higher pH on marine organisms thats a
41、question for future research. But theres reason to believe these meadows may have a positive influence on shellfish and other ocean animals.28What can we learn from this passage?ASea grass forests can lower pH levels of coastal waters.BShellfish and corals are not affected by ocean acidification.CSe

44、dification.When special occasions such as birthdays or other big holiday events come around, parents often look for that special toy for their children. But there is a growing understanding that gifts of time and bonding, such as vacations and other experiences, make better and more lasting gifts fo
45、r children.Experts agree that gifting children with memorable trips and fun experiences is better for their body and mind, and has corresponding positive impacts on the rest of the family!In a 2017 study that surveyed about 500 women between 18 and 93 years old, Dr. Oravecz, a human development and
46、family studies professor at Pennsylvania State University, asked, “Most people feel loved when.” The study showed that the most popular answers had nothing to do with any material item. Dr. Oravecz said, “Our research found that micro-moments of positivity, like a kind word, a hug with a child or a
47、sympathetic expression, make people feel most loved.”Clinical psychologist Oliver James agrees. He stated that as opposed to toys, details from a trip are more likely to “stick with them for long after the vacation ends.” When families interact in a stress-free environment, this creates warm, genero
48、us feelings towards one another, which are likely to be remembered with fondness. Vacations create strong emotional responses that dont often come with material possessions.In addition, British child psychologist Dr. Margot Sunderland believes that vacations make children smarter. “What is less widely known is that vaca
