When we meet the homeless, most of us might avoid eye contact and walk a little faster. 1. What's his or her story? How long have they lived on the streets? Maybe you even wanted to help, but didn't know how to start a conversation. Then the following might help you.
2. Is there another way I can help?
This is an especially good thing to say if you're uncomfortable handing over cash or don't have any to offer. Undoubtedly, money is something that a homeless person needs, but often there is a specific thing that can quickly help that person out of a terrible situation.
Did you catch the game?
3. Talking about sports is a good idea. While there is a game, bring it up like talking about the weather — sports is a topic of conversation that you don't have to be of a certain class to experience.
Good morning.
Say “hi” or “hello” or try to acknowledge the person in some way. 4. Regardless of what your greeting may be, it's important to look the person in the eye when speaking. According to the homeless, one of the many difficult things about being homeless is that you feel less than human.
How are you doing? Would you like to talk?
These questions are great because they're open-ended. Don't be surprised if people are not interested in chatting, though. You're getting into their personal lives. 5. If, however, the person is open to talking, this can lead to a real conversation — and maybe even provide a way for you to offer help.
A.I don't have any money.
B.It's good to hear kindness.
C.But you might also think about the situation.
D.Maybe they don't want to discuss that with a stranger.
E.Athletic events are often shown on televisions on the streets.
F.The non-homeless person almost never looks the homeless in the eye.
G.Offering a wish of good will can be a powerful thing to the homeless.
People feel good about recycling, maybe even more so when it comes to electronics. While electronics recycling isn't bad, making it a panacea(万能药) for the e-waste problem we currently have certainly is. Unfortunately, that's how we think of recycling — and companies to jump on that trend to appear more “green”.
A case in point: Apple. In 2016, there was lots of report on Liam, a robot able to dismantle(拆卸) an iPhone in just 11 seconds — a good way to recycle 1.2 million units a year. That sounds amazing until you take into account the fact that Apple had actually sold 231 million new iPhones the year before. Liam, actually, is the perfect symbol for recycling in the field of high-tech: a drop of green water in an ocean of pollution.
According to a recent UN report, the US produces about 6.3 million tons or 14% of the world's electronic waste. Worldwide, almost 45 million tons of electronic waste were produced in 2016. Among them, only 20% had been recycled in some shape or form. The remaining 80% made its way to a more environmentally damaging end at the landfill(垃圾填埋场).
Of course, we can say it's time to double our recycling efforts. However, the huge amount of e-waste is impossible to cope with. The UN report points out that while there is an increased focus on recycling today compared to the past, the effort to reuse used devices simply can't keep pace with the high consumption rates for new devices.
In their environmental responsibility report, Apple admits that 77% of the carbon footprint of their electronics comes from their manufacture, versus(相对于) 17% comes from its actual use. The environmental effect of replacing a device, even if it is recycled after, remains significant.
1.Which of the following can best describe Liam?
A.It's useful but can't make a big difference.
B.It's energy-saving but too expensive.
C.It's well-made but won't become popular.
D.It's advanced but impractical.
2.What caused the e-waste recycling problem?
A.Few high-tech companies.
B.Not enough recycling efforts.
C.High demand for new electronics.
D.Difficult recycling processes.
3.What does the author think of the electronics recycling?
A.It is very effective.
B.It is quite good.
C.It is environmentally damaging.
D.It is far from “green” recycling.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Recent UN Report on E-Waste Problem
B.The Limitation of Electronics Recycling
C.A Good Way to Cope With E-Waste
D.The Responsibility for Apple to Decrease E-Waste
A trip to the theater, museum or art gallery could help you live longer. And the more often, the better, a new study suggests. Researchers from University College London (UCL) found that people engaged in the arts more frequently had a 31% lower risk of dying early when compared to those who didn't. Even going to the theater or museum once or twice a year was linked with a 14% lower risk.
“While other health behaviors like smoking, alcohol and exercise are undoubtedly bigger predictors of the rate of death, these leisure and pleasure activities people don't think as a health related activity do support good health and long life,” said Fancourt, an associate professor at UCL’s Research Department of Behavioral Science and Health.
How often an individual engaged in art activities, also including exhibitions, concerts and opera but not cinema, was measured at the start of the study in 2004 to 2005. The study looked at a range of economic, health and social factors to try and explain why there is a link between “arts engagement” and living longer, although as an observational study it can't establish cause. Part of the reason, the study said, comes down to social and economic differences among those who go and don't go to museums, exhibitions and art galleries. Wealth, they found, explained about 9% of the association. Cognitive(认知的) differences, social engagement and mental health also played a role.
“Things like free time and occupational status made no material difference,” said Fancourt, “but engagement in arts can reduce stress and build creativity that allows people to adapt to changing circumstances. It also helps people build social capital — accessing emotional support and information that helps people age more successfully. A greater sense of purpose could also play a role. If this (study) is added to the larger body of evidence, we are getting an increasingly rich picture on how arts can benefit health and it's not about one single outcome. It can have wide ranging benefits and support healthier lives lived longer.”
This study did not look at the effects of taking part in art-related activities but a World Health Organization review of available evidence published last year found that both receptive participation, like visiting a museum, and active participation, like singing in a choir, had health benefits.
