I cried the first time
I saw
the Notre
-
Dame
years ago.
I'd waited
my entire life to see this
great French architecture, and there I was on a bright sunny day, experiencing it in its full glory.
Last night, I again cried for the centuries old church while watching it burn.

I hadn't expected to spend my evening that way. My friend and I were having dinner at a cafe
a block or so away from the Notre Datme, choosing to skip going inside with the intention to go
back the next day.

However,
we
heard
that
it
caught
fire,
so
we
left
the
cafe
and
ran
towards
the
church,
following heavy smoke from
it, and soon we joined a
nearly silent crowd. Some
were praying,
some were crying, but most were staring in disbelief at the disaster happening before us. The fire
continued to get worse. About 400 firefighters were working to control the fire. We could see their
flashlights shining as they inspected the front from a balcony.

The Notre
-
Dame is part of the heartbeat of Paris. I reflected on the experiences I've had there,
from attending a bread market out front to admiring the beautiful windows and architecture inside.
It is a spot that helps make Paris magical. And here we were, watching it burn down. It was too
much to handle, but it was impossible to look away.

At about 9:30 pm, the gathered crowd spontaneously(
自发地
) began to sing hymns(
圣歌
) to
the church. We sang along with the group, feeling at once less like tourists and more like members
of them. I hadn't imagined all that before.

For
hundreds
of
years,
the
Notre
-
Dame
has
seen
the
most
joyous
and
the
most
terrible
moments in the lives of both France and her people. And when everyone was able to become one
emotional(
情感上的
)
force,
it
showed
that
even
in
her
darkest
hour,
the
Notre
-
Dame
was
still
there to bring us all together.

4. Why did the author cry for the Notre
-
Dame for the first time?

A. She was touched by its greatness.

5. What was the author doing when the Notre
-
Dame caught fire?

A. Heading for a faraway cafe.

B. Visiting a church with a friend.

C. Eating nearby with a companion

D. Wandering along the street alone.

A. People expressed their sadness in different manners.

B. People were nervously rushing in different directions.

C. Hundreds of volunteers joined in putting out the fire.

C. The church survived disasters for hundreds of years.

D. People were brought together to sing to the church.

Bornholm
is
a
Danish
island
in
the
southern
part
of
the
Baltic
Sea.
At
only
588
square
kilometers, the island is home to about 40,000 people and welcomes around 600,000 visitors each

year. The island is known for its sunny weather, round churches and rocky sea cliffs. But soon it
hopes to make history for its lack of trash.

Bornholm's only waste incineration(
焚烧
) plant is out of date, so instead of replacing it, the
island
has
come
up
with
another
plan.
In
2032,
there'll
be
no
more
waste
on
Bornholm,”
announced
BOFA,
the
island's
waste
management
company.“
All
discarded
items(
物品
)
can
be
recycled to the benefit of the entire island.

The government doesn't yet know all the details of how the plan will work, but officials have
laid out a basic outline. For example, they assume people sort waste into easily recyclable items
such as metal, plastic, glass, paper and cardboard, and then plan to add new items such as fishing
nets,
insulation
materials
and
more
plastics
to
the
recycling
system.
Organic
waste,
as
well
as
garden and park waste, will be transformed into energy, and the nutrient rich waste from energy
recovery will be used as fertilizer(
肥料
) in fields, gardens and parks on the island.

People there will be encouraged to make use of the sharing economy, lending and borrowing

goods and services. They'll reuse everything from furniture to children's clothing, and businesses
will repair a number of items from bicycles to kitchen equipment. And primary school students
will be educated as
-
on lessons about waste, resources, the
environment and nature.


Anne Thomas, the deputy mayor of Bornholm, tells
National Geographic
.

Would you help a trapped robot? Some rats would. They can form social bonds with robots
and will even rescue a robot rat that is trapped in a cage.

Rats need to be highly attuned(
调适
) to social signals from others so they can identify friends
to
cooperate
with
and
enemies
to
avoid.
To
find
out
if this
extends
to
non
-
living
beings,
Lalch
Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect
social signals from robot rats.

They housed eight adult rats with a robot rat for four days. The robot rat resembled a large
version
of
a
computer
mouse
with
wheels
to
move
around
and
colorful
markings.
During
the
experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and
opened cage doors to let trapped rats escape.

Next, the researchers trapped the social robot in cages and gave the rats the chance to set it
