Considered one of the best basketball players ever, he dominated （主宰）the sport from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s.Michael began his professional basketball career when he was chosen by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. Then, there was a time when the Bulls kept adding new players and changing coaches, but they didn't win. Seeing that, Michael felt like he needed to do all the scoring as he couldn't trust the other players' skills. Many people thought that Michael Jordan might never win a championship （冠军）if he kept trying to do it all by himself.To improve their performance on the court, Coach Tex Winter taught the Bulls his triangle offense. It included sharing the ball and moving around the court in a specific way. Michael was unsure. He thought he was the only one that could make the big shots. Tex Winter told him he should learn to trust his teammates to make the triangle offense work best. But that was difficult for Michael.The Bulls faced the Utah Jazz in the 1997 National Basketball Association Finals. After four games, the series was tied 2-2. Finally, Michael scored thirty-eight points and the Bulls won. Then, they had a chance to win theseries in Game Six. Michael had the ball near the end of the game with Jazz players swanning （挑上）around him. Instead of trying a difficult shot, he passed the ball to a teammate, Steve Kerr, who made the winning basket. Michael finally trusted his teammates and he didn't always have to take the big shot.From then on, Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to six NBA Championships and earned the NBA's Most Valuable Player （MVP） Award five times.

Across the world, there have been many types of agriculture, so how do you affordably replant the destroyed land? And thafs where our technology comes in, “ says Grant Canary, CEO of DroneSeed, a Seattle developer of a drone （无人机）data platform. DroneSeed will fly drones to prepare fbr a new forest on top of the one that has been burnt. Carrying 57 pounds of tree seeds, the drones work in teams to find destroyed areas and spread seeds. They are six times faster than planting seedlings by hand. This can also help make the cost of planting seedlings 60-70% less than that of traditional reforestation （再造林）.DroneSeed can substitute fbr human tree planters. Tree planters do a valuable job well, but there are fewer tree planters due to the difficulty and low pay of the work. Meanwhile, the work of replanting a forest after a fire is beyond the abilities of human labor. Luckily, drones can send dozens of seed packets. This has many advantages. It removes unwanted and dangerous jobs from both planters and pilots whose near-ground work is difficult. A truck with a line of drones can prepare more and cover far more ground than human operations. And the process is easily observed and controlled.Jay Zaveri, a partner at Social Capital, said, "Global reforestation is important in fighting against climate change, so we've helped DroneSeed from the very start. Since then, DroneSeed has put in its efforts to reforest land, found a successful way, and changed the experience of forest development.”DroneSeed is a one-stop shop fbr reforestation services. DroneSeed has got a fund of $36 million. The company will use some funds to buy Silvaseed, a 130-year-old company, to expand （扩大）its seed collection and planting services. In addition, DroneSeed plans to expand further to meet the growing need fbr reforestation assistance by the middle of next year. And it will add more reforestation projects and expand its services to more places in the future.8. Why does the author mention Grant Canary's words?A. To tell us the serious damage of wildfires.B. To point out the difficulty of saving burned forests.C. To show the importance of environmental protection.D. To introduce the idea behind DroneSeed technology. 9. What is mentioned about DroneSeed?A. It develops high-tech drones.B. It works for forest rebuilding.C. It can find wildfires in advance.D. It joins hands with local farmers.10. What does the underlined phrase "substitute fbr“ in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Train.B. Encourage.C. Take the place of.D. Provide protection fbr.11. What are Jay Zaveri's words mainly intended to tell us?A. DroneSeed has done an amazing job in reforesting destroyed land.B. DroneSeed method should be applied to more areas.C. People should pay more attention to climate change.D. Global reforestation has made very little progress.DSince COVID-19 began, there9s been a huge focus on the importance of indoor air quality since many of us have spent an increasing amount of time inside. Houseplants have become extremely popular in recent years, but can indoor plants clean air?Scientists studying the effectiveness of indoor plants for the removal of ozone （臭氧）found houseplants make “at best, small contributions of about 0.9-9% to indoor ozone removal effectiveness”. The tests, performed in a laboratory to simulate （模拟）the effects on a typical US home, found houseplants hardly affected the environment. To make a meaningful difference to the air quality of your home, you'd need to fill a room from top to bottom with plants, the scientists suggest. But which type of plant functions the best? Sadly, science doesn't have the answer yet.During COVID-19 lockdowns, many of us decided to get our hands dirty and get into gardening - but was there any health benefit to us? As well as improving your mood （心情），gardening can reduce stress, improve productivity and even increase the ability to suffer pain, says the Royal Horticultural Society. A recent study of young adult males found that indoor gardening lowered stress levels compared to the demands of completing a computer task. When sitting in front of a computer and asked to complete a task, the males had an increase in blood pressure, heart rates, and stress that wasn't present when they were gardeni
