technology. The roof covers 5,500 square meters. It has become one of the most striking and greenest structures in
the area.

When Amanda Lemay heard the story about a baker and her husband who were traveling around the United
States in a van (厢式货车), learning from expert bakers, she wanted to do something similar. So she got rid of most
of her possessions and made an old ambulance with her dad into a lovely home on wheels.
Lemay's ambulance is actually a former emergency response vehicle for the US Navy
,
built on a 2006 Ford
E350 Cutaway. Renovations (改装) were mainly done by her and her dad. Now the dark blue vehicle has a lot of
built-in cabinets on all sides, offering a lot of storage space, while the rooftop has 400-watt of solar power panels
and a small roof deck where Lemay practices Yoga. The inside is tastefully done to suit Lemay’s work and hobbies.
As Lemay mentions，not only did her father help, but also the rest of her family. Lemay’s mother helped sew the
decorations on the removable cushions, and her sister crafted the leather pulls.
Her current nomadic (流浪式的) lifestyle fits well with her work doing audiobooks, voiceovers, and
publishing work. In the end, this unexpected path has Lemay rethinking what it means to be truly sustainable, now
that van life has gotten her to become minutely aware of the water, electricity, and other daily resources that she
uses. But all these day-to-day trouble is balanced with a greater sense of freedom.
“It’s almost mind-blowing, it feels like a completely different life because I'm doing the work online, and I can
do things on my own schedule. Most of my days are mine—so by living in the van, I can be where I want to be, and
do the things I want to do, and spend time outside. ”
24. What inspired Amanda to make a change?
A. A couple’s travelling experience. B. Some expert bakers’ suggestions.
C. Her own awful living conditions. D. Her parents' continuous persuasion.
25. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

Earth is lighted up by bioluminescence(生物发光)but，
for many of us，
seeing the natural phenomenon is a rare
treat：Catching the glow(光)of a firefly or witnessing a dolphin swimming through electric blue waters is a thrill.
Researchers are currently engineering glowing flowers and decorative plants that can cast a green light onto
our living rooms. Observing plant’s health via its glow can be a way to instantly measure its health, and the side
effect is anybody who wants a healthy glowing plant in their living room can have one.
A study published on Monday in Nature Biotechnology shows that this goal is well on its way to being a
reality. The study authors announce they’ve created a method that causes plants to glow much brighter, and for a
longer period of time, than previous efforts. Plants adapted by this method should be available for purchase within a
few years.
The research was conducted through a teamwork between three scientific institutions and Plant, a biotech
startup in Moscow. When this team examined a poisonous mushroom, they discovered that caffeic acid is
responsible for its bioluminescence. In this new study, the team employed that information and inserted
enzymes(酶) —which are specific to the mushroom —into the DNA of tobacco plants. In turn, the enzymes were
able to interact with the caffeic acid in the tobacco plants, and cause them to glow both in the dark and in the
daylight.
This method, the scientists claimed, made the plants 10 times brighter than previous efforts and the continuous
light production didn’t harm the health of the plants. Interestingly, the light decreased as the leaves aged—but it
also increased when the leaves were damaged. In turn, the team suggested this method could also help other
researchers monitor plant responses to various pressures and changes in the environment. If a plant is short of water
or a hungry sheep is harming a plant, bioluminescence could warn of this damage before it’s too late.
28. How can people quickly identify a decorative flower’s health condition?
A. By monitoring its glow. B. By making it greener.
C. By testing the chemicals in it. D. By putting it in the living room.
29. What can we expect of the adapted glowing plants?
A. They may take the place of lamps. B. They will appear on the market.
C. They can light up a whole living room. D. They glow less bright than previous efforts.
30. What did the team do with the mushroom in the new study?
A. They inserted caffeic acid into it. B. They made it give out brighter light.
C. They grew it on the tobacco plants farm. D. They put its enzymes into the tobacco plants.
31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Warning of potential damage from glowing plants.
