An ant species has evolved aremarkablesolutiontothedangerofexcesscarbondioxideinsidetheirnests: which may hold clues to how humans can store greenhouse gases to prevent climatedisaster.

Fungus-farming （种植真菌）ants collect vegetation to feed cultivated fungi grown inside their

colonies. In tum: thefungiserveastheirprimaryfoodsource.Thehighdensityofantsandfungicanresult in high concentrations of CO；inside the nests.

In 2020: Cameron Currie at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his colleagues found that

Acromynnex echinatior ants incorporate a carbonate biomineral into their armour （外壳）.The ants do this through a symbiotic （共生的）relationship with Pseudonocardia bacteria： which transform CO： into rock using chemical processes that aren't yet properly understood.

Now：the team has discovered that another fungus-farming ant：Sericomymex aniabilis,which is found

in Central and South America: can do the same thing withoutsymbioticbacteria： becomingthefirstknown animal to have evolved thisability.

Remarkably, the mineral they make is dolomite. Dolomite rocks:such as those inItaly'sDolomitemountains, normally take millions of years and complex geological processestoform.Yettheantsdothisquicklyandeffortlessly,withouthightemperatures:saysteammemberHongjieLiatZhejiangUniversityin

China.

Dolomite consists of calcium, magnesium and carbonate. Forming it inthe lab is difficultbecausemagnesium doesn't easily fit into the calcium carbonate structure： which slows down crystalformation,says Currie. Totrytoovercomethis:hesays,scientistsusehightemperaturesandpressures.Thenextphaseofthe team's research will try to find out how ants are able to accomplishthis.

In an effort to counteractglobalwarming, scientists are exploring techniques for converting atmospheric CO： into carbonate minerals, essentially turning carbon into stone. ""These ants are the first animal shown to be engagingin such a process, offering exciting potential as a model forhuman efforts/'says Currie.

28.What can we leam about the fungus-farming ants'nest?

A.It stays open to outside air.B. It contains a high level ofCOz.

C. It is too unstable for antsto survive.D. It provides little room for fungalgrowth.

productivity experts. So why does meaningful change feel so difficult to achieve?

The accepted wisdom tells us progress comes from small: consistent changes that compound over time. Consistency has its place. But there's another dimension to transformation we rarely discuss: the catalytic（

催化的）power of intense productivity bursts. It's this moreintense,temporarymodeofobsessionthatis key.

Productivity experts often advocate sustainable habits and warn against the dangers of going too hard.

But neuroscience reveals something fascinating: Our brains respond strongly to intensity.

Our brains are highly malleable;they change： sometimes in dramatic ways：to reflect new acquisitionof skills andknowledge.ResearchersstudiedLondontaxidriverspreparingforatestthatinvolvedmemorizing 25:000 streets.XVTientheyexaminedthebrainsofthesetaxidriversbeforeandafterthis

Thisfindingpointstoabroaderprincipleinhumanneuroscience:Transformationoftenrequirescrossing intensity levels that moderateeffortsimplycan'treach. At the levelofthebrain:intenselearninglooks very different than the slow： consistent gains we're more familiar with. Research finds that duringperiods of intense focus: our brains exhibit transient hypo front ality. The prefrontal cortex （前额叶皮层 ）largely responsible for self-monitoring： tends to quiet down, mirroring whatisoftenseenin“flowstates/1wherethe boundaries between self and task dissolve.

Most of us live in maintenance mode. We do enoughnottolosegroundbutrarelyenoughtotrulyadvance. Maybe it's timewestoppedfeelingguiltyaboutouroccasionalobsessionsandstartedseeingthemfor what they are: the catalysts that make our steady progressmeaningful.

32.What does the scene presented in paragraph 1indicate?

A.Unrealistic goals can leadtofailure.B. Constant failures may cause frustration.

C. Multitasking cannot enhance productivity. D. Sustained effort may not yield real progress.

33.What does the underlined word "malleable" in paragraph 4 probablymean?

A.Repairable.B. Adaptable.C. Delicate. D.Analytical.

34.What happens during “transient hypo front ality::?

A.You let downyour guard.B. You exercise more self-regulation.

C. You feel at one withthetask.D. You experience a state of confusion.

35.What is a suitable title for thetext?

A.Why Intense Focus Beats SteadyHabits

B.The Key to Transformation:Consistency

C.How Changing Your Habits Leads toGrowth

D.Maintenance Mode: A Common ProductivityTrap

I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup: until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins（毒素）when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics.

36 But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.

To be fair： plastics are amazing. Light： waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modem life safer

and cheaper.37 Eighteen minutes after waking up: I admitted defeat. I couldn't tum on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No undenvear or socks-if something stretches, it's thanks to plastic.

38 Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am：I got

tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood-an ' Intermediate^ levelassociatedwith a potential risk of adverse health effects.

I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can：she said.In the kitchen: opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home:replacemicrofibertowelswithcottonones.Another point Woodruff made stuck in myhead.39

A.I threw out obviousoffenders.

B.We depend heavily onplastics.

C.I wanted to make life safer for mychildren.

D.I replaced my sons' with naturalalternatives.

E.Children are among those most at risk fromplastics.

F.One day: I decided to see how long I could go without usingplastic.
