Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of our country's persistent problems:garbage and poverty.It's called the Chip Bag Project.The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers:Rather than toss your empty chip bags into the trash,donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
   Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos,Lay's,and other favorites at two locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store,where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water,they slice them open,lay them flat,and iron them together.They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.
   It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag,and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags,depending on whether they're single-serve or family size.The result is a sleeping bag that is "waterproof,lightweight,and easy to carry around," Oleita told the Detroit News.Since its start in 2020,the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and,as of last December,created 110 sleeping bags.
   Sure,some people believe it would be simpler to help the homeless by raising money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for Oleita- whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life- and her fellow volunteers. "We are dedicated 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 trash and using them to help the homeless.It's a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.As Oleita told hourdetroit.jye.ai, "I think it's time to show connections between all of these issues."

  • 2.Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating (不請客就搗亂) for candies.But for some kids,eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
       That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(過敏癥).They are allergic to ingredients(成分)in many Halloween candies,such as peanuts,tree nuts,milk,eggs,and beans.If they eat these foods,they will get sick or even die.
       "I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight-year-old Conlen said.Conlen is allergic to peanuts,tree nuts,and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.She has been trick-or-treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
       But this year,Conlen,Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween.That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project(TPP),which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education(FARE).FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies.Through the project,the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小飾品) and toys.
       To take part in the project,people buy a teal(藍綠色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house.The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there.The households also add their home addresses to an online map,making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.
       Kylie loves the idea."The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said."It makes me feel like a normal kid,and it makes everyone feel included."

    (1)To Conlen and Kylie,the past Halloween were

    A.upsetting and dangerous
    B.interesting and special
    C.sick and terrible
    D.important and exciting
    (2)According to the passage,we know that FARE

    A.helps people with food allergies recover
    B.helps the households take part in the TPP
    C.takes action to change kids' bad eating habits
    D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
    (3)The households help kids with food allergies by

    A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
    B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
    C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
    D.a(chǎn)sking them for home addresses and sending them gifts
    (4)Where is the passage most probably taken from?

    A.A magazine about the history of festivals.
    B.A news report on cultures and customs.
    C.An advertisement for an organization.
    D.A research paper on kid's health.

  • 3.Besides the excitement of travel,one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,holidays,foods,art,music,and politics first-hand.
       "I learned the language and am now fluent,but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures,people,and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family,not from the tourist's point of view," says Andrew,who studied in Poitiers,F(xiàn)rance.
       Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas,Venezuela,a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
       Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(過渡)to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同齡人). "After having gone abroad in high school,I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
       Most of all,it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.

    (1)What is the passage mainly about?

    A.Learning a language.

    B.It can offer us opportunities.
