Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of her country’s persistent (持续的) problems: garbage and poverty (贫困). It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a (n) ____36____ of local snack lovers: Rather than ____37____ your empty chip bags into the trash (垃圾桶), ____38____ them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the ____39____.
Chip eaters drop off their ____40____ bags from Doritos (多力多滋薯片), Lay’s (乐事薯片), and other favorites at two ____41____ in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they ____42____ the chip bags in soapy hot water, they ____43____ them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use soft materials from old coats to line the insides.
It ____44____ about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, _____45_____ whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry _____46_____,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has _____47_____ more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, _____48_____ 110 sleeping bags.
Sure, it would be simpler to _____49_____ the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the _____50_____ for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of _____51_____ a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are_____52_____ ourselves to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the _____53_____ and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental problems and poverty often go _____54_____. As Oleita told : “I think it’s time to show _____55_____ between all of these issues.”

You should see the photo. I’m sitting in red dirt, ____256____ an ugly purple T-shirt. My face is pink and my hair is wet with sweat. Flies buzz around my head. I’m in the northwest of Australia, on a school trip with 20 parents and 20 kids.
It was a strange choice for a holiday. I like sitting by the pool with a cola, not flies and frogs. I like being ____257____ and quiet, not a busload of kids. I like ____258____ washed sheets, not dirty-looking blankets.
But here’s the thing about that photo: I am smiling!
The trip sounded good when I ____259____. We were told that guides would take us into the heart of the place and I would see a new part of Australia and learn about local ____260____. Besides I knew it would be a valuable chance for me to stay with my youngest daughter. I would also stay with 40 strangers. I just hope there would be good coffee.
In Darwin we got onto a bus. It quickly became tiresome. The kids were ____261____ and kept on talking but I hate making small talk.
But later when I looked out at the large empty land, I was surprised at and moved by its ____262____. Our local guide told us about the land and his culture. I felt far from home.
Finally we reached our ____263____. There the small room I shared with my daughter was a brick cell, full of crickets (蟋蟀), but too dark to see them.
It didn’t matter. The next nine days were ____264____. Waterfalls, lakes, community visits, and a trip around Katherine Gorge where we even saw giant crocodiles!
On our last night, a water pipe (管子) ____265____. We awoke to a mess, everything in water. Usually I would have ____266____, but it just seemed ____267____ to be dirty.
Indeed, it was ____268____ to stay clean. We were hiking in red dirt with temperatures of 35 degrees. Still, I felt a kind of energy I hadn’t ____269____ in years.
Yes, the coffee was bad, but I was too focused on keeping crickets off my face.
I love that photo of me in the dirt. I look messy but happy. Sometimes it’s another way of traveling. There is beautiful ____270____ and there is dirt. There was always someone to talk to, someone to laugh with.

I went to the beach nearby. It was a ____271____ time watching families come and go for a warm weekend here. As I was near the end of the beach, I noticed a ____272____ playing alone. It seems that she built a little sandcastle with a moat (护河) ____273____ it and now was trying to ____274____ the canal with water.
Unluckily, there was no ____275____ around to carry water. She would go to the waves, ____276____ her hands and then return to her little sandcastle. Sadly not much of the water was ____277____ it to the moat. But she kept trying, still smiling and ____278____. I so wished I could ____279____, but I didn’t have a container with me.
Watching her, and feeling helpless, I had an aha _____280_____. I realized that I had a bottle of water in my bag. I quickly dug in, took it out, and walked over to _____281_____ it to her.
Confused at first, she smiled but shook her head _____282_____, saying no. I comforted her with that it would make getting the water much _____283_____, and that’s what I would do. She smiled widely and finally took it from my hands after I _____284_____. Not wanting her to feel _____285_____, I walked off the beach, seeing her running over to the sea with a big smile, _____286_____ with a bottle in hand.
In my heart, I know that when she notices that someone needs _____287_____ in life, maybe, just maybe, she would recall this little random act of kindness by a _____288_____. And maybe that would make her more _____289_____ to jump in and help _____290_____ a little gentler world around her.

After about half an hour, a man ____299____ there in a hurry and said, ”It can’t be true! You... you...“
The young violinist asked, ”Did you _____300_____ something “ ”A lottery ticket (彩票),“ the man answered _____301_____.
The violinist took out a lottery ticket. “Is it ” he asked.
The man was too _____302_____ to say a word. He _____303_____ a lottery ticket a few days ago. The awards (奖) opened yesterday and he won $ 500, 000. So lucky and excited did he feel that he _____304_____ 50 dollars and put it into the hat when hearing the music. However, the lottery ticket was also thrown into the hat without being _____305_____. After the violinist finished his performance, he found the lottery ticket in his hat. Thinking that the owner would probably return to look for it, he came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.
Someone asked the violinist why he returned the lottery ticket to the man. He said, ”Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."

A 23-year-old woman has achieved an unbelievable feat that many of us dream of—visiting every country on Earth.
Lexie Alford was born into a family of travel agents, which gave her the opportunity to ____306____ places such as Cambodia, Dubai and Egypt during her childhood, according to Forbes magazine. She began saving up at age 12 to ____307____ her goal of visiting all countries. By her 18th birthday, she had travelled to 72 nations. In October, 2016, she realized she could see the ____308____ nations on her list in time to set an official record.

“____311____, in the beginning, I simply wanted to push the ____312____ of what I thought I could do with my life and see as much of the world as possible in the ____313____,” she told Forbes. “It wasn’t until things started getting really ____314____ that I realized I was inspiring people around me, especially the _____315_____.”
“I also loved visiting Northern Pakistan, for the natural beauty of the mountains and kindness of the locals were astonishing,” Lexie Alford said. “The most pleasant surprise about travelling to all these misunderstood areas of the world was that the countries that I had the _____316_____ expectation for _____317_____ being the most incredible.”
“My _____318_____ for young people is to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to do. If you want to travel, you have to _____319_____ sacrifices to travel, around the world. And it’s only a matter of _____320_____ until you can make it a reality.”

I got inside the car and called American Automobile Association (AAA).
A Russian man came up to my window and said hello. Before I could say too much, he and his three sons were already ___326___ to push my car. I got out of my car and ___327___ them.
It was past midnight and they easily could have decided that AAA would ___328___ the situation after our initial ___329___ failed.

At first, I was a little ____332____ about being stuck in the freezing weather at such a late hour, but their cheerful attitude changed the whole ____333____ of the situation and lifted my spirits.
After nearly 45 minutes of hard work when my car was finally free, they didn’t even ____334____ around long enough for me to get their names. They just ran toward their truck, ____335____ a bit on the ice, and yelled back “Drive Slowly”, like true smile heroes!

This era of “Industry 4. 0” is being driven by the same technological advances that enable the capabilities of the smartphones in our pockets. It is a mix of low-cost and high-power computers, high-speed communication and artificial intelligence. This will produce smarter robots with better sensing and communication abilities that can ____336____ different tasks, and even adjust their work to meet demand without the input of humans.
In the manufacturing industry, where robots have arguably made the most headway of any division, this will mean a(n) ____337____ shift from centralized to decentralized cooperative production. ____338____ robots focused on single, fixed, high - speed operations and required a highly skilled human workforce to operate and maintain them. Industry 4. 0 machines are flexible, cooperative and can operate more independently which ____339____ removes the need for a highly skilled workforce.
For large-scale manufacturers, Industry 4. 0 means their robots will be able to sense their environment and communicate in an industrial network that can be run and ____340____ remotely. Each machine will produce large amounts of data that can be ____341____ studied using what is known as “big data” analysis. This will help ____342____ ways to improve operating performance and production quality across the whole plat, for example by better predicting when repairing is needed and automatically ____343____ it.
For ____344____ manufacturing businesses, Industry 4. 0 will make it cheaper and easier to use robots. It will create machines that can be rearranged to perform _____345_____ jobs and adjusted to work on a more diverse product range and different production volumes. This part is already beginning to benefit from robots designed to cooperate with human workers and analyse their own work to look for _____346_____.
While these machines are getting smarter, they are still not as smart as us. Today's industrial artificial intelligence operates at a _____347_____ level, which gives the appearance of human intelligence exhibited by machines, but designed by humans.
What's coming next is known as “deep learning”. Similar to big data analysis, it involves processing large quantities of data in real time to _____348_____ what is the best action to take, The _____349_____ is that the machine learns from the data so it can improve its decision making. A perfect example of deep learning was _____350_____ by Google's Alpha Go software, which taught itself to beat the world's greatest Go players.

Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.
A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been ___366___ free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started ___367___ his car to the young people. Wilson has ___368___ an astonishing 64, 000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous ___369___ with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he’s ___370___ have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they’ve also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students ___371___ call him “Grandpa”.
Tina Stern ___372___ rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free ___373___. “It’s not just a ride; you’re not just sitting there in ___374___ silence or with your headphones on.” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually ____375____ the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he’ll ____376____ those things.”
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation. On Point for College. Although the ____377____ asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes ____378____ to ensure the welfare and safety of the students.

For many students, Wilson’s help is not only appreciated, it’s also entirely ____381____ for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don’t have a reliable car, while others have to ____382____ vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has ____383____ them to complete their education — but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the ____384____. “I just love driving and I love these kids, ” Wilson said. “It’s such a(n) ____385____ to be a part of these kids’ lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.”

I've always loved mountaineering (登山) and the mental and physical challenges that go with it. This time the peak (山峰) of Mt. Whitney is my ___386___. There are quite a few ways up to the big mountain, but we ___387___ the traditional one at last, almost 12 miles to the top.
I decided to make this trip less about ___388___ and more about the climb and my personal journey with a friend. Thinking about it this way, I decided to carry only one camera to ___389___ the course, but it still added 3.2 pounds to my backpack, which ___390___ 2.8 pounds without the camera equipment. Fortunately, climbing with a friend ___391___ sharing the weight, keeping our packs a little lighter. Therefore, we ___392___ reached the top just two days later. This particular trip was prepared for a personal trip on purpose to get to the peak and enjoy the breathtaking ___393___.
Climbing such tall peaks ___394___ every aspect of you, as a nature photographer. It can test both your physical strength and photographic ___395___.

And that’s the joy that comes with climbing Mt. Whitney as well.
Like any other ___398___ in nature, there are risks in mountaineering, though, Extreme altitude and the unpredictable (无法预测的) weather will test even the most ___399___ climber. Despite the fact, mountaineering for me is all about the experiences, which makes me live to the ___400___.

Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or_____429_____to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my_____430_____forever.
