At the age of seven,while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys,Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers (同齡人) to do the same,the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank,the Bartselana Student Bank,which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
    Set up in 2012 the bank is the world's first bank for kids.To become a member,a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted,all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements,such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.
    The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies,which,thanks to Jose's efforts,pay a higher - than - market rate for everything brought in by the bank members.The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached.The account holder can then withdraw the money,or choose to leave it and make it continue to grow for a bigger target. "At the beginning,my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project," Jose recalls. "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily,I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class."
    The boy's efforts paid off,and by 2013,the bank had over 200 members,who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today,the eco - bank,which now has the support of several local institutions,boasts ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3,000 students,aged 10 to 18,to become financially independent,use their money wisely,and help the environment.Not surprisingly,Jose's efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20,2018,Jose won Children's Climate Prize,which comes with a medal and $5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.

  • 1.How many hours do you spend sitting in a chair every day?Eight hours in the office plus three hours in front of the TV after work is the usual situation for many people.
    You probably don't need an expert to tell you that sitting too much is not good for your health-from an increased risk of heart disease and obesity(肥胖) in the long term,to reduced cholesterol(膽固醇) maintenance in the short term,not to mention the pressure on your neck and spine(脊柱).
    To make matters worse,a growing body of research suggests that the negative effects of sitting too much cannot be countered with a good diet and regular exercise,according to an article in The New York Times.The article reported that a study of nearly 9,000 Australians found that for each additional hour of television a person watched per day,the risk of dying rose by 11 percent.In other words,sitting is killing us.
    Stand up for health.Health experts suggest we break up those many hours spent sitting with more hours spent standing.
    The BBC and the University of Chester in the UK conducted a simple experiment with a small group of 10 volunteers who usually spent most of the day sitting.They were asked to stand for at least three hours a day.The researchers took measurements on days when the volunteers stood,and when they sat around.When they looked at the data,there were some striking differences.Blood sugar became level after a meal much quicker on the days when the volunteers in the study stood compared with the days they spent in a chair.Standing also burned more calories(熱量單位:卡路里)-about 50 calories an hour.Over the course of a year that would add up to about 30,000 extra calories,or around 3.63 kilograms of fat.
    John Buckley,a member of the research team,said that although doing exercise offers many proven benefits,our bodies also need the constant,almost imperceptible(感覺不到的) increase in muscle activity that standing provides.Simple movement helps us to keep our all-important blood sugar under control.
    The researchers believe that even small adjustments,like standing while talking on the phone,going over to talk to a colleague rather than sending an e-mail,or simply taking the stairs instead of the elevator,will help.
    (Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

    78.According to the context,the underlined expression"be countered with"in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by"
    ".
    79.The two findings of the simple experiment conducted by the BBC and the University of Chester in the UK are that standing

    80.Why is standing better than doing exercise according to John Buckley?

    81.What does the passage mainly want to tell us?
