Are you always looking at your mobile phone while you're walking or studying Are you

that I must face reality (现实),” Lin says.
However, Liang Wenyu, another college student, says it is funny to use a box to cut down
mobile phone use. “It is completely meaningless. No matter how useful the isolation box is, you

六、任务型阅读 (10分)
Eradajere Oleita always cares about the environment and the homeless. The 26-year-old
student from the US has started a project called the Chip Bag Project. He is asking local snack lovers
to do something helpful, “Don't throw your empty chip bags away. Give them to me or other
volunteers so that we can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.”
Chip eaters can drop off their empty chip bags at two places: a print shop and a clothing store.
After the volunteers collect the chip bags, they clean them, smooth them out, and iron (熨烫) them
together.
It takes about four hours to make such a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip
bags. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and
created 110 sleeping bags. And it is a big help to some homeless people.
Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags. But that's only half the goal
