But in 2013, when Melati was 12, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their home on the Indonesian island

13、 of Bali. More often than not, plastic bags would swirl （打旋）around them as they swam.Melati didnt think much about it until later in 2013, when her teacher gave a lesson on world heroes like South Africas Nelson Mandela and Englands Princess Diana, who had made positive change. That day, Melati walk

14、ed home in silence alongside Isabel, thinking about the world heroes. If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought.Soon, they gathered a team of 15 and named their group Bye Bye Plastic Bags （BBPB）. Its mission was simple: stop people in Bali from using plastic bags. To convince the local go

15、vernment to ban plastic bags, the group organised an online petition （请愿）to collect one million signatures to ban plastic bags in Bali. Within 24 hours of launching, more than 6000 people from around the world had signed up. Although it was far from the challenging target, Melati and Isabel did what

16、 they could.The girls passion has resulted in big changes. In 2017, they organised Balis first beach clean up, and now is an annual event.

Considerate and confident.Stroke (中风)is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. You may be familiar with some of the most common lifestyle and health factors t

21、hat could affect your stroke risk. However, there is another overlooked factor-altitude.How can living at high altitudes affect your chance of suffering a stroke? This question is at the heart of a new study in journal Frontiers in Physiology. The study examined more than 100,000 stroke hospitalisat

22、ions and deaths from between 2001 and 2017 in Ecuador. The researchers assessed levels of stroke hospitalisation and death among people living at four different elevation ranges: low altitude (under 1,500 metres), moderate altitude (1,500-2,500 metres), high altitude (2,500-3,500 metres) and very hi

23、gh altitude (3,500-5,500 metres).The results showed that people who lived at higher altitudes (above 2,500 meters) tended to experience stroke at a later age compared with those at lower altitudes. They were also less likely to be hospitalized or die because of stroke. However, this protective effec

24、t was the greatest between 2,000 and 3,500 meters and tailed off a little above 3,500 meters.So, why might living at high altitudes protect against stroke? It may be that people who live at high altitude have adapted to the low oxygen conditions, and more readily grow new blood vessels (血管)to help o

25、vercome stroke-related damage. They may also have a more developed network of vessels in their brains that helps them to make the most of the oxygen they take in.More research is needed to identify the mechanisms behind this phenomenon, but the results may be some comfort to those who live on top of

26、 the world.8. How did the researchers carry out their study?A.By analyzing specificcases.B.By conducting a questionnaire.C.By studying the previousfindings.D.By consulting data from thedatabase.9. What does the underlined phrase tailed off mean in paragraph 3?A.Became more.B.Became less.C.Became bet

27、ter.D.Became higher.10. What may be the reason for people living higher to have a lower risk of stroke?A.A small vessel network.B.Special brain structures.C.Narrowed blood vessels.D.Adaptation to the environment.11. Where is this passage most probably taken from?A.A science fiction.B.A science repor

28、t.C A geography textbook.D.A doctors notebook.How AI will transform education is very important to schools such as mine, teachers such as me, and hardworking care-givers such as the parents in my community. Could AI get our children to grasp new concepts and skills? Might AI be better equipped to he

29、lp them exploit their own intelligence? After a few days watching my children use artificial intelligence-based learning tools, I can tell you the short answer is NO.Human intelligence is different from the computers. For one, human intelligence can not be measured. The brain is plastic, always deve

30、loping and growing as we learn from our environments. In addition, human intelligence relies on human interaction. Exercising our intelligence is something we do naturally as we connect with others, consider the world around us and seek to improve our relationship to that world.In education, there h

31、as been a movement toward social-emotional and problem-based learning. So educators attempt to motivate interest in subjects and skills by turning learning moments into communal （共有的）problem-solving events. When we combine analytical learning with social- emotional learning, students become mastered

32、 in the material we want them to know and get more excited about the learning process.Using AI looks very different from this. AI learning often involves an individual working alone with a computer program. It can crowd source information to help students find facts about their environment, solve a

33、problem and come up with a creative way forward. But AI doesnt force students to think through or keep anything. And simply being fed facts and information is not the same as learning”.It is fascinating to imagine that AI might cure what annoys us. Many parents dont have the resources-in time, money

34、 or energy-to teach their kids at home. If AI could fill the gaps, how great, right? Yet the nature of AI “teaching“ as it currently exists means that students merely level up without learning. When it comes to developing intelligence, nothing can beat what we humans have been doing, face to face, f

That top you bought for a party three years ago, for example You wore it once and its been hanging in your wardrobe （衣柜）ever since. You could throw it

38、 away, but that seems wasteful-after all its still perfectly usable. So, what to do? 16The first charity shops appeared in Britain in the 19th Century. The Salvation Army, a UK charity, was one of the first to run a second-hand clothing shop to provide the poor and needy with affordable clothes. 17

39、It also raised money for the war effort during World War Two.These days, charity shops are a common sight with around 11,200 shops across the UK, according to the Charity Retail Association. During business hours any member of the public can donate their unwanted items to a charity shop. 18 These it

40、ems are checked and if found still serviceable, priced up to be sold at a heavily discounted price.For many this is a win-win situation. 19 To the consumer, it provides the opportunity to buy, often extremely cheaply, items and clothes. To the donator, it may help to ease consumer guilt “You can mak

41、e a pretty good case, because what you are doing is going towards a charitable cause and you are saving stuff from landfill,Clare Press, fashion journalist and sustainable style advocate, tells the Guardian.20 On more than one occasion a buyer has purchased something very cheaply, only to later disc
