BIn Ireland,where I am studying for a PhD in immunology()at Trinity College Dublin,although Irishis the first official language,English is actually the most widely used language.I grew up speaking Irish in a smallpocket of Ireland,in Ballinskelligs,County Kerry,where the language is still comparatively common.Much to mysurprise,I have found a practical use for it during my PhD program.In December last year,I was contacted by producers at the national Irish-language radio station.They wantedto know whether I would be interested in joining their discussion,and stressed the difficulty of finding people witha strong background in immunology who spoke Irish fluently.I have since been a guest on the show several times.Because English is the primary language of science,I hadnever considered Irish to be directly useful in my chosen major.It wasn't until I was asked to do the radio programthat I realized how important it is to have someone who can speak Irish.Talking about the science that I love,whilegetting the chance to relate important information to people who are not able to get it in English,meant a lot to me.To communicate with the public,researchers must be able to speak the language of our audience-which is notalways English.Science needs to consider the linguistic()diversity of the general population.Having peopleat all levels of academia()who speak several languages,including Irish and other less spoken languages,isimportant in bringing science to the public and can be good for science itself.24.What can we learn about Ballinskelligs?A.Many people speak Irish there.B.English is not used there.C.The author is studying for a PhD there.D.The author enjoys spending his vacation there.25.Why did a radio station contact the author?A.The author is a top expert on immunology.B.The author is good at both immunology and Irish.C.The author had a high popularity in his hometown.D.The author had a close relationship with the producers.26.What meant a lot to the author?A.Being a guest on a radio program.B.Putting science he loves into practice.C.Translating information from English into Irish.D.Spreading knowledge to Irish-speaking people.27.What does the author want to show through his experience?A.The importance of studying immunologyB.The importance of learning a second language.C.The importance of linguistic diversity in academia.D.The importance of working when studying at college.cSan Francisco's public trash cans()need to be replaced.The current design is inadequate for the city'sincreasing population and the larger number of tourists.To solve the issues,in 2018,San Francisco Public Worksofficials set out in search of a perfect trash can.However,it proved harder than they had thought.The officials had a few criteria in mind.The ideal trash can had to be durable(),and easy to empty.Itwould also have a built-in sensor to send warnings when full,cost between $2,000 to $3,000 a piece,and,mostimportantly,look good!After an extensive search failed to find a suitable off-the-shelf replacement,the committeeasked local firms to design custom trash cans.The four-year search ended on July 18,2022,with three selections.Since none of them meet all the requiredcriteria,the officials have turned to the city's residents for help.英语第4页（共8页）
