I went into our laboratory feeling depressed. For months, I had been trying to recycle some of our laboratory’s
plastic waste into 3D-printed laboratory tools, but it wasn’t going well. My colleagues suggested thinking about how
to avoid having so much plastic waste in the first place, which boosted my spirits and led to a series of changes in how
we operate in the laboratory.
I raised the idea of creating 3D-printed laboratory tools out of some of our waste, but it was also tricky to get the
recycled material into a consistent shape that could be fed into the 3D printer. After months of struggling, I feared that
my vision might not live up to my expectations, so it was really a welcome relief when my colleagues were eager to
brainstorm other ways to reduce our environmental footprint.
We decided to create a group sticking to pushing for “greener” ways to operate, inviting researchers in other
laboratories at our institution as well as our own. Over the following months, we launched a series of initiatives that
we feel have made a difference. We introduced new recycling bins to each laboratory, designed ways to reduce our use
of plastic items and purchased meters to track the energy consumption of various pieces of laboratory equipment. That
helped us create rules for each device, which we outlined on stickers: “Turn me off at the end of the day,” “Never
turn me off,” or “Turn me off if empty or not in use.” We also increased the temperature of several low-temperature
freezers after realizing some samples didn’t have to be stored so cold.
I’m still disappointed that I was not able to fully realize my 3D-printing vision, and I am committed enough to
keep trying. But I’ve also learned that if one approach isn’t working, sometimes it’s best to take a step back and look
for other solutions. I’m thankful that with the help of the academic community around me, we were able to do that.

Retirees are always working on a 1,000-piece puzzle or two at Utah’s Springville Senior Center. The tradition
goes back more than six decades, when the community gathering spot for seniors opened in 1962.
About a year and a half ago, a dozen regulars stepped things up and completed a 5,000-piece Disney puzzle,
which is when senior center director Tori Eaton decided to buy the biggest puzzle—a 60,000-piece puzzle called
“What a Wonderful World”, and immediately she ordered it. Over the next four months, about 50 seniors spent four
hours a day piecing together 60 different 1,000-piece puzzle sections featuring a world map and 187 images of
artwork. After the 60 puzzles were combined into one piece of art spread across 16 tables, the senior center put it on
display for the public.
Numerous studies have shown that puzzle-building helps with mental health, particularly in seniors, according to
the National Institutes of Health. Bending over a table for 300 hours helped to build a sense of achievement and
everyone felt enormous pride in finishing it, Eaton said. “Another great thing was that we can get people out of their
houses to enjoy some fun companionship. Loneliness is a terrible thing for older people. Getting together to work for a
couple of hours on a puzzle can make a huge difference.”
Ruth Nielsen is among those who stopped by the center to help put the large puzzle together. “I really liked the
feeling of commitment and there was a feeling of community spirit in putting all those tiny pieces together into
something beautiful,” said Nielsen, 73.
After the last piece was eased into place, everyone took photos-and admired the puzzle for about three weeks,
and then it was time for the next project: taking it apart. Eaton said they decided to lend the puzzle to another Utah
senior center, so its members could enjoy the same feelings of achievement and togetherness. “I didn’t want to have to
glue it all together and hang it up,” she said. “That would definitely be too much of a project.”
8. What motivated Eaton to buy the biggest puzzle?
A. The advice of center visitors. B. The success of a huge puzzle.
C. The creation of a larger puzzle. D. The increase of senior members.
9. What advantage does puzzle-building have according to Paragraph 3?
A. It promotes independence. B. It encourages competition.
C. It improves seniors’ memory. D. It relieves seniors’ loneliness.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Ruth Nielsen?
A. To present a problem. B. To support a finding.
C. To introduce a method. D. To make a comparison.
11. What can we learn about the puzzle from the last paragraph?
