People keep organizing massive thousand person hide-and-seek games at Ikea (宜家) though it has _______ asked people not to play in its stores.
The first evidence of this _______ dates back to 2014, when a Belgian blogger named Elise De Rijck coordinated a hide-and-seek meet up at her local Ikea store to celebrate her 30th birthday. She _______ a Facebook group and invited her friends — but soon, thousands of people joined the group. Ikea Belgium got _______ of the plan and instead of _______ it, offered Ikea's full support, including _______ staff and security to host the event. From the photos that still _______ online, the event was a _______, filled with people hiding under bins and beds all over the store.
For Ikea, it was a(n) _______ thing. The company soon __________ similar Facebook groups organizing games and asked them to disband, noting __________ risks. And for good reason: Ikea is full of heavy furniture and forklifts (叉车).
Just this week, authorities in Glasgow __________ a new plan for a 3,000-person game in the Scottish city's Ikea store. Employees at the local Ikea __________ the plan on Facebook and called the police, who turned away the __________ gamesters. An Ikea spokesperson told The Scotsman, “We need to make sure people are safe, and that's hard if we don't know where they are.”
Ikea's prohibition on hide-and-seek __________. But at the same time, it's hard not to see the phenomenon as a potential __________ for the company, which has been working __________ to reinvent itself, rethinking its store designs and opening smaller urban stores that are really just a __________ for digital orders. It probably truly isn't safe to play guerilla-style games at a store that sells heavy furniture.

As Uber looks to expand its food courier service in Japan, the ride-share giant has faced road blocks rarely seen on the home soil of the United States. 1..
Uber Chief Executive Dara Khosrowshahi told Bloomberg News his company's food-delivery in Japan has taken an alternative route to delivering food. The country has strict laws against ride sharing, and its unemployment rate is at 2.4 percent, making a tight job market. With a growing demand for food delivery, more of the elderly population has applied to become couriers.
“The elderly are actually signing up for Eats couriers,” Khosrowshahi said. “Eats has been a huge success for us in Japan. 2..” In Japan, the majority of current food deliverers bring the product via scooter or bicycle, but the older generation of applicants prefer to do it by foot. 3.; adult diapers (尿布) outsell baby diapers. “This is one area unique to Japan, and we are looking if we can expand to the rest of the world,” Khosrowshahi said.
That plan includes increasing staffing levels in Japan by at least 30 percent over the next year, and these jobs aren't limited to grannies in sneakers. 4.. It's still a slow pace considering the San Francisco-based company has more than 22,000 employees.
Uber currently works with eight taxi cab companies in Japan, and the pedestrian courier method is a way to branch out into areas untouched so far. There are cab-hailing apps available, as well as Uber Black, a car-hire service that's only available in Tokyo for now. “It will take time, but we like what we see in terms of the potential of the market” Khosrowshahi said. “5..”
A.The population is aging
B.They also include sales, operations and account management
C.It is going to be a very effective introduction to the Uber brand
D.Last year, Uber shifted to partnerships with local taxi companies
E.Japan is a growing nation for food-delivery-still way far behind the US
F.But putting grandma and grandpa in running shoes seems to make sense
G.The innovations that we are going to make here are going to carry around the world
Blue Planet II's latest episode (情节) focuses on how plastic is having a destructive effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems that the world couldn't possibly function without plastics, plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s, the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment, but we still don't really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it's not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning in the same breath as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don't have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don' t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to deal with it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single-use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag-when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
1.Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A.The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
B.Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C.Plastics have gained popularity too fast for science to catch up.
D.The world couldn't possibly function without plastics.
2.How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A.By citing quotes from leading experts. B.By making a comparison and contrast.
C.By listing examples from his own experience. D.By presenting solid statistics.
3.What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?
A.We reap what we sow. B.The shortest answer is doing.
C.All things are difficult before they are easy. D.Actions speak louder than words.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The oceans become choked with plastic. B.Ocean plastic is a global issue.
C.Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D.Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
