Cloze (74-83 题，共 10 题) A. 74-78 题 In many offices today, both women and men keep small potted plants on their desks. Mint is a favorite. So are succulents and tiny herbs. Some choose them for beauty. _74_ like their practical use.A few just enjoy having something alive nearby. From a psychological perspective, this trend reflects everyday self-regulation at work. Green plants provide micro-restorative breaks for tired attention. Even a brief glance can _75_ the build-up of cognitive overload.

Efforts to restore reefs, such as "coral gardening" and the creation of artificial structures, are being implemented worldwide. _83_, these local interventions can only do so much if the global issue of carbon emissions remains unaddressed.
