• 2．    Every auntie I know has a kitchen drawer containing a carefully maintained collection of yoghurt jye.ais.Dabba is Indian word for 'box，'but it refers to all manner of containers，too.Dabba s are saved and reused again and again most of the time.
      When I was a kid，my mother cut no corners when it came to food，sparing no effort to cook the meals—after a full day at the office.The leftovers would inevitably（必然地） find their way into yoghurt dabbas.
      But just as every auntie cherished her dabbas，every uncle hated them.My own father，a generally easy-going man，carefully avoided the drawer of dabbas.When he felt annoyed at the dabbas，my mother would shoot him a look that would surely have killed a weaker man and place her dabba carefully back in its drawer.Occasionally my father would get fed up with the overflowing drawer and clear all the dabbas.But my mother would simply start the process of collecting them again.
      When I went away to university，my mom used to cook food and send it back with me with strict instructions to wash the dabbas and bring them home.But when I did so，I felt embarrassed with the eyes of my roommates on me.Eventually，I found my way to a big company and had a family of my own.Like my mother before me，I'm also the proud owner of an extensive dabba collection.
      They truly are the most useful of objects，with uses ranging from food storage to toys for my children.It is a source of a strange and indescribable comfort.When I married my husband，my mother was concerned."You know，you come from very different backgrounds，"she said.Dealing with cultural differences is surely an adventure.But the other night，I heard my husband yelling in the kitchen，and the next morning，I found my dabbas in the recycling bin.I narrowed my eyes a little as I fished them out，washed them up and replaced them in their drawer.I was practising my mother's death stare.

• 3．    COVID-19 is just one example of a disease that has jumped from a wild animal to people.In hopes of preventing future outbreaks，scientists are working to understand what led to the jump，also known as a spillover event.A group working in Australia thinks it may have one answer：Keep wildlife well-fed.
      All animals carry germs.Some viruses don't harm the animals in which they are typically found.That's because the host species has encountered this virus so often that its immune system（免疫系統） has developed a way to keep the germ under control.But if this virus later finds its way into a new species，it may cause serious disease.
      From 1996 to 2020，Peel and her group tracked where bats spent their time.For the first six years，there were no spillover events.But starting in 2003，the team noticed the bats' ecosystem was changing.Soon after，spillovers started to show up.Peel's group linked these events to periods when the bats couldn't find enough food.
      This happened in years that followed strong El Ni?o events.This climate event causes trees that normally flower in spring may now fail to do so.Hungry bats will then leave their forests in search of food.Some may end up near farms where they can infect horses and they may stay there until the following winter.
      But some spillovers happened even during non-El Ni?o years.The researchers suspect this might be due to changes in tree cjye.ai.Over the course of the study，large sections of forest were cut down for farming and housing.This reduced the number of trees that flower in winter.Without their main food source，hungry flying foxes shifted their behavior.Just as they did after El Ni?o years，they now spent more time near farms in search of food.It was after this shift that spillover events occurred.
  
  （1）What makes the viruses relatively safe to the host animals？

  
  A．They are not affected by all viruses.
  B．They are more experienced.
  C．They are able to control the viruses.
  D．They always have enough food.
  （2）Apart from El Ni?o，which of the following factor s is more likely to cause spillover events？

  
  A．Widespread forest clearing.
  B．Serious pollution in the air.
  C．Increase in food and water.
  D．Genetic changes in animals.
  （3）Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word encountered？

  
  A．Ignored.
  B．Experienced.
  C．Avoided.
  D．Changed.
  （4）What is more likely to be talked about next？

  
  A．Relationship between spillovers and El Ni?o.
  B．Impact of climate change on bat behavior.
  C．How to ensure enough food supply for wildlife.
  D．The history of spillover events in Australia.
