Sustainable Campus Initiative: Student Project Grants
The University Sustainability Office (USO) invites students to submit proposals for innovative projects aimed at reducing our carbon footprint. This initiative encourages students to think creatively about how they can make a tangible environmental impact on campus.
Grant Levels:
Seed Grant (Up to $ 500): This grant is designed for individuals who want to lead awareness campaigns or small-scale projects, such as pilot recycling programs or single-use plastic reduction campaigns. These initiatives can significantly raise awareness about sustainability issues among students and staff, providing the first step in broader environmental action.
Impact Grant ($ 501 - $3,000): For projects involving at least two departments, this grant supports collaborative efforts aimed at bringing about tangible changes in campus infrastructure. Examples include energy-saving lighting systems, waste diversion projects, or sustainability-focused renovations. The aim is to have measurable, long-lasting impact on the campus environment.
Legacy Grant ($ 3,000+): This grant supports long-term solutions that have the potential to be implemented across all campuses. Legacy projects must have clear, permanent environmental benefits and are expected to continue even after the initial funding period. These projects require the support of a faculty advisor, demonstrating their academic or institutional significance.
Key Dates (2026):
April 15: Proposal submission deadline.
May 10: Shortlisted candidates will be notified for an interview.
June 1: Funding awarded.
Evaluation Criteria:
Originality (30%): Does the project offer a fresh perspective that can inspire others?
Scalability (40%): Is there potential to expand this project to other campuses or institutions?
Cost-efficiency (30%): Do the environmental benefits justify the project’s budget and investment?
Note:
Projects that are purely theoretical without a practical application on campus will not be considered. All equipment purchased with the grant remains the property of the USO and must be used for the designated project.

Tucked into the walls of a 326-metre-deep sinkhole in Hechi, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, a unique cliffside bookstore in the Mianhua Sinkhole Scenic Area of Luocheng Mulam Autonomous County opened its doors in May, quickly becoming a new landmark for culture-tourism integration and gaining worldwide attention by combining dramatic natural scenery with an unforgettable reading experience. To date, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors from home and abroad.
Reaching the bookstore is an adventure in itself. Guests must scale an over 1,000-step boardwalk carved into the cliff — a thrilling “mini expedition” before arriving at this spiritual retreat amid the heights.
Founder He Zhijian described the construction as extremely challenging. The sinkhole’s typical karst terrain (喀斯特地貌) features steep, unstable cliffs, so special anchoring technology was needed to ensure safety. However, the sinkhole acts as a natural shelter, shielding the bookstore perfectly from the elements: no matter how heavy the wind and rain, it never gets wet.
Inspiration struck him two years ago during a visit to Tsutaya Bookstore, later refined with insights from Hangzhou’s Tsutaya outlet. The result is an open-air cliffside space lined with over 10,000 books, forming a 10-meter-high, 150-meter-long “canyon of knowledge”.
Wu Taichang, general manager of Guangxi Luocheng Mianhua Tiankeng (meaning sinkhole) Tourism Development Co., said the design breaks traditional bookstore boundaries, merging reading with the grandeur of karst landscapes. The company is the area’s developer as well as operator. Wu emphasized that the goal is to encourage visitors to do more than just admire the sinkhole’s beauty and leave. “We want them to immerse themselves in its charm as much as possible,” he said. “That’s why we’ve built a cliffside bookstore, cafe, and hotel, along with boardwalks leading straight to the sinkhole’s bottom — letting tourists get up close to the ‘heart of the Earth’.”
24. What can be inferred about the path to the bookstore?
A. It is only open to experts.B. It requires physical effort.
C. It is very long but smooth.D. It offers a direct bus service.
25. Why is the bookstore never affected by bad weather?
A. It is built underground.
B. It is equipped with a large roof.
C. It’s protected by sinkhole structure.
D. It uses advanced waterproof materials.
26. What does the “canyon of knowledge” in Para 4 refer to?
A. A digital reading room in the sinkhole.
B. A large library built inside a canyon wall.
C. A long cliffside bookshelf with many books.
D. A natural rock formation shaped like a book.
27. What is the company’s tourism strategy according to the last paragraph?
A. Relying only on natural views.B. Offering a multi-experience stay.
C. Encouraging short and quick visits.D. Selling more books than other goods.
C
As many as 70 million Americans struggle with sleep, and a growing number are using melatonin (褪黑素) products. Long assumed to be harmless, this popular sleep aid is now being questioned by recent research, especially regarding its long-term safety.
Melatonin is a hormone naturally produced by humans and other mammals. It maintains the body’s circadian rhythm — the internal 24-hour clock that influences sleepiness and alertness. Melatonin levels vary in response to light: the brain blocks melatonin production during the day and increases it at night. As melatonin circulates, it reduces wakefulness signals but does not directly cause sleep. Unlike a sleeping pill, it simply signals to the body that it is nighttime.
While melatonin is generally safe for short-term use, high amounts may cause next-day drowsiness. Greater concerns also surround long-term use. A recent analysis found that among adults with sleeplessness who took melatonin for at least a year, nearly 5% experienced heart failure, compared with only 3% of non-users. Some experts warn that chronic (慢性的) poor sleep — not melatonin — might explain the result. Still, long-term safety data on melatonin remains limited, and its potential risks deserve attention.
Adding to the concern, determining the right amount can be challenging. Although commercial melatonin is chemically identical to the body’s own, actual content may not match what labels state. A 2017 study found that some products contained anywhere from 80 percent less to 470 percent more melatonin than advertised. Because melatonin is sold as an over-the-counter product, it reaches consumers without the Food and Drug Administration first evaluating its safety or manufacturing standards.
Despite melatonin’s popularity, its effectiveness is modest. Clinical trials show it helps people fall asleep only about seven minutes faster and sleep roughly eight minutes longer on average. Timing matters: taking it about three hours before bedtime appears most effective. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends melatonin for jet lag and shift work but not for general sleep difficulties.
28. How does melatonin function in the body?
A. It harms brain cells.B. It lowers energy all day.
C. It directly makes you sleep.D. It regulates the daily rhythm.
29. What problem with melatonin products is revealed in Paragraph 4?
A. Inaccurate labeling.B. Limited availability.
C. Unclear instructions.D. High production cost.
30. What does the underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Powerful.B. Limited.C. Unpredictable.D. Harmful.
31. Which statement would the author most likely agree with?
A. Melatonin use are entirely risk-free.
B. Evidence on melatonin safety is mixed.
C. Melatonin products are strictly regulated.
D. More melatonin intake ensures better sleep.
D
Supportive relationships with friends and family contribute positively to health and mental well-being. In contrast, toxic (有毒的) individuals — those who are overly aggressive or deliberately difficult — can become significant sources of stress. Chronic stress is known to produce various negative effects on both mental and physical health. Research has demonstrated that prolonged stress can accelerate aging and increase inflammation (炎症) throughout the body.
This raises a curious question: Do toxic people merely worsen our mental state, or might they also produce a measurable effect on biological age?
A newly published study sought to investigate this issue. Researchers used an advanced technique called DNA methylation to measure how old volunteers’ bodies really are. For each participant, they mapped social networks and identified whether they had any “hasslers”, people who caused the person too much stress and difficulty. Moreover, saliva samples (唾液样本) were collected from volunteers to assess biological age, and participants filled out additional questionnaires about their health.
The findings revealed that 28.8 percent of volunteers reported having at least one toxic individual in their social network, with women more likely than men to report such relationships. The analysis indicated that each toxic person was associated with a 1.5 percent acceleration in the aging process. On average, the biological age of volunteers with toxic social ties was nine months higher than that of individuals of the same chronological age who lacked such relationships. Interestingly, toxic family members or friends had stronger effects on aging than toxic partner. Researchers suggest this may occur because the positive aspects of marriage, such as reduced loneliness, partially offset the negative impacts of a difficult partner.
The study clearly demonstrates that toxic friends or family members yield observable biological consequences. They not only reduce mental well-being but also accelerate aging and increase bodily inflammation. These findings suggest that for those seeking healthy aging and overall wellness, reducing contact with toxic individuals may be a highly important consideration.
32. Which person’s behavior is most toxic?
A. A parent limiting your screen time.
B. A teacher pointing out your mistakes.
C. A friend pushing you to achieve goals.
D. A colleague taking credit for your work.
33. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A. By raising a question.B. By defining a concept.
C. By giving an example.D. By making a comparison.
34. What did researchers use DNA methylation to do?
A. To collect saliva samples.B. To map the social networks.
C. To identify toxic volunteers.D. To determine the biological age.
35. What can be learned from the study’s findings?
A. Toxics speed biological aging.B. Men face more difficult people.
C. Women report high social status.D. Life partners cause the most harm.

Our conversations shape who we are and make us unique individuals. 36 As one expert puts it, “The quality of our conversations is closely linked to our personal happiness, as well as our success in both social and work life.” While issues like healthy eating have long been a key focus of public health, we know very little about one of humanity’s most amazing abilities — the ability to have meaningful conversations.
37We struggle to have meaningful talks with people who think differently or come from different backgrounds. All too often, we forget to truly listen to others when they speak, which acts as the basis of empathy and collaboration. Without even noticing, we often give inappropriate responses that hinder good communication.
For this reason, we badly need to make conversational skill a public concern. This important skill helps us think more carefully and recognize the great influence of our daily conversations. 38 Such conversations damage trust and connection, ultimately ruining our harmonious social relationships.
When we engage in real, face-to-face conversations and give each other our full attention, something special unfolds. Our bodies naturally come into harmony with each other; we unconsciously mirror each other’s movements and work in perfect harmony. Research also shows that our brains can synchronize (同步) during meaningful conversations. 39
We can begin building our conversational literacy right now, starting with small, intentional daily steps. 40 After all, this kind of genuine and uninterrupted conversation will have a profound and lasting impact on the success and emotional health of the family’s youngest members: developing their personal lives, deepening their relationships, and shaping their future careers.
A. It also enables us to spot and avoid harmful talks.
B. The deeper the talk, the stronger this neural link grows.
C. So it’s workable to gather our family for phone-free dinners.
D. Many of us don’t know how to handle difficult conversations.
E. They can build relationships or break the connections we hold dear.
F. However, finding time for deep talks is not always within easy reach.
G. Meaningful conversations begin with genuine listening, not quick responses.

I was sixteen when I first noticed the worn edges on Dad’s denim (牛仔布) jacket. At that time, I was too busy chasing teenage dreams to ask why he still wore the same jacket he’d 41 since his twenties. I had 42 in his old clothes and was eager to fit in with my classmates, so I deliberately 43 joining him for his evening walks.
Years later, during my first year of college, I called home during finals week. 44 by heavy study tasks, I complained about the hard schoolwork and the cold dormitory. My mother listened with 45, then said softly, “Your father has been walking around the house with that old jacket of his, trying to 46 if he should send it to you. He says it’s warm.” I was greatly 47 that he should be willing to 48 his most valuable thing to add a little 49 to my life. Right at the moment, I remembered how he’d always given me the best of everything: the newest shoes, the fastest computer, the most comfortable bed.
When the jacket arrived, I held it to my chest. It 50 of his usual smell and the warm sunshine. I wore it to my next 51, and its familiar weight gave me courage. That night, I wrote him a short 52: “Thank you for the jacket. It’s like having you with me.” His reply was 53: “I’m glad it fits. Wear it well, my son.”
Now, whenever I see that jacket, I don’t see worn edges or 54 denim. I see a father’s quiet love, a love that doesn’t need 55, a love that travels across miles and warms my heart forever.
