As a mushroom scientist,you are vastly outnumbered,with estimates suggesting that there are between 2.2 million and 3.8 million species of fungi (真菌) ,the majority of which are yet to be identified.However,professionals in the field are not alone in their efforts to uncover new species.An enthusiastic community of amateurs has emerged, bridging the gap between professionals and non-professionals.These amateurs have even made significant discoveries.One such amateur is Taylor Lockwood,a 74-year-old mushroom enthusiast and professional photographer.

In 1984,while living on the Mendocino coast of California,Taylor Lockwood developed a fascination with mushrooms.“Outside my cottage were these amazing mushrooms,”he says. “And it was as if these mushrooms looked at me and said,‘Taylor,go out and tell the world how pretty we are.’”Lockwood answered their call and purchased camera equipment to capture their true nature.His passion for photographing mushrooms was so intense that he would even dig holes next to the mushrooms to get the perfect angle for his shots.

In the Monongahela National Forest,Taylor Lockwood discovered an unusual mushroom that looked like tiny fingers wearing off-white gloves.Upon further investigation,fungi researcher Amy Rossman confirmed that it was a“hazel glove” mushroom,which is a rare find.“Mushrooms are not like plants,”Rossman says.“They don't come up at the same time every year,and so sometimes it can be decades between when a fungus fruits.”Rossman says that's why it's so valuable to have people like Taylor Lockwood searching through the forest with a trained eye.

A few years ago,Taylor Lockwood realized that still photos weren't sufficient,so he chose to create time-lapse(延时拍摄的)videos of mushrooms.“When I do time-lapse, I see so much life happening around the mushrooms —insects,worms and other small creatures interacting with them,”he says.Lockwood's love for art is evident in his approach to filming mushrooms over time.Although he appreciates the scientific aspect of his work,he identifies himself as an artist at heart.

When we encounter a troublesome problem,we often gather a group to brainstorm. However,substantial evidence has shown that when we generate ideas together,we fail to maximize collective intelligence.

To unearth the hidden potential in teams,we're better off shifting to a process called “brainwriting”.You start by asking group members to write down what is going on in their brains separately.Next,you pool them and share them among the group without telling the authors.Then,each member evaluates them on his or her own,only after which do the team members come together to select and improve the most promising options.By developing and assessing ideas individually before choosing and expanding on them,the team can surface and advance possibilities that might not get attention otherwise.

An example of great brainwriting was in 2010 when 33 miners were trapped underground in Chile.Given the urgency of the situation,the rescue team didn't hold brainstorming sessions.Rather,they established a global brainwriting system to generate individual ideas.A 24-year-old engineer came up with a tiny plastic telephone.This specialized tool ended up becoming the only means of communicating with the miners,making it possible to save them.

Research by organizational behavior scholar Anita Woolley and her colleagues helps to explain why this method works.They find that the key to collective intelligence is balanced participation.In brainstorming meetings,it's too easy for participation to become one-sided in favor of the loudest voices.The brainwriting process ensures that all ideas are brought to the table and all voices are brought into conversation.The goal isn't to be the smartest person in the room.It's to make the room smarter.

Collective intelligence begins with individual creativity,but it doesn't end there. Individuals produce a greater volume and variety of novel ideas when they work alone. That means they not only come up with more brilliant ideas than groups but also more terrible ideas.Therefore,it takes collective judgment to find the signal in the noise and bring out the best ideas.

As most Americans spend at least 50%of their food budget dining out,public criticism falls on restaurants to help consumers make healthier food choices.The Menu Labeling Final Rule has come into effect,requiring restaurants with more than 20 locations to show the calories of food on menus.

By representing these values in a discrepant way—using physically larger numbers on the page for lower-calorie options,and smaller numbers for high-calorie foods— businesses can shift customers 'preferences toward healthier food,according to Ruiying Cai from the Washington State University.

In their study,Cai and her colleagues asked participants to choose between a less healthy item and a healthier option after randomly assigning them to two groups.In the first group,calorie counts and font (字体) sizes rose and fell together.In the second group,the size became larger as the calorie count fell.Researchers also asked participants questions to assess their health-consciousness.

Results showed participants in the second group,who saw low calorie counts printed in large sizes,were more likely to adopt the healthier option.Moreover,less health- conscious participants were the most affected,while people with more health awareness were less influenced since they already favored healthier food.

This research adjusted customer behaviors by creating a Stroop effect.Named after psychologist J.Ridley Stroop,the Stroop effect refers to a delay in reaction to mismatch in its classic form.For example,if the word“purple”is written in green,it takes respondents longer time to identify the color than if the word and the color match. Similarly,the effect is observed when the physical size of the number does not match its number in this study.

“Restaurants are interested in encouraging customers to make healthier choices,” Cai said.However,simply labeling the food as healthy may not have the intended effect. “Healthy food items could be profitable for restaurants,but whenever a ‘healthy’ label is attached,people may assume it does not taste good,"she explained."We're trying to provide restaurants with indirect suggestions,rather than saying it out loud.”

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Artificial Intelligence(AI) geolocation(互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife,enabling more powerful conservation efforts.These systems use advanced sensors,satellite imagery,and machine learning algorithms(算法)to gather real-time data on animal movements,habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 36    

Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems,which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 37 The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely,which decreases human impact on wildlife.

In addition,AI-powered devices collect and analyze data precisely.Through their assistance,scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 38 For example,by analyzing the collected data,conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices.

39 By monitoring animals' behavioral changes in real-time,researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues.Sudden changes in an animal's movements could indicate threats or problems.Researchers can then respond immediately,potentially saving the animal's life.

Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness about protecting endangered species. 40 This help them feel more connected to the issues wildlife face in habitats.The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations,volunteer work,and so on.

A.This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions.

B.However,AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals.

C.AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods.

D.The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation.

E.Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience.

F.The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork.

G.With real-time data,the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks.from zshunj_cn

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整 的短文。

When I was seven years old,my family moved from Mexico to America.In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends.However,when I arrived in America,I found it hard to fit in,and I became quieter.from zshunj_cn

We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables—my responsibility.While I took pride in watching them grow,there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella's,with its delicate tulips (郁金 香).Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me,we barely knew each other.

It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.

The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon.The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind,and thick gray clouds filled the sky.Gradually,the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel(漏斗) .My entire family gathered in the bathroom,seeking shelter from the storm.Terrified,I sat close to my mom,knees in my chest.After the storm had passed,our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged.

As I stepped outside,I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood.Across the street,a tall tree had fallen,crushing Luella's garden in front of her yellow house.We hurried over to check on it.Fortunately,her family seemed to be away at the time,and no one was injured.However,her once-beautiful garden was in ruins,with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris(碎片)spread everywhere.I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this.

Then my mom's usual words rang in my ear,"It is more blessed to give than to receive,”and my family started to think about how we could help.
