Last summer holiday, my mother and I visited Xi’an that she grew up. It was a well-planned trip, so we had great time for the most part. But one night, something strange was happened. My mom wan playing games on her mobile phone in bed and I was lying nearby. Tired and boring, I was kicking the bed to pass the time. A few minutes later, my mom had enough of it and asked her, “Could you stop it?” I stopped, so she asked me to stop kick again only a few moments later. I complained, “I’ve already stopped.” My mom quickly glanced at my still leg and then she suddenly jumped up and shouted, “Earthquake!” With lightning speed, she rushes to me, grabbed my hand and took me to a safe place outside. By then, I was widely awake.

Earth Day is one of the world's largest environmental movements. Held every year on April 22, Earth Day turns 50 this year. It was created by US politician Gaylord Nelson, aiming to give a voice to people who wanted environmental protection. 1. Back then, it helped to bring clean air and water laws to the US. Now a global movement, it's facing even bigger environmental threats.
2. One of these is The Ocean Cleanup based in the Netherlands. It has successfully made a device that can gather and collect waste from our oceans and rivers, a majority of which is plastic. For us, plastic is an item we use and then throw away. But if you throw away a plastic bottle today, it is non-biodegradable (不可生物降解的).It will still be around for hundreds of years. Much of this plastic waste ends up in the sea, where it kills more than 100 million sea creatures every year. 3.
It is not just our oceans that are under threat. Over time, deforestation (滥伐森林),improper farming, and livestock grazing (放牧)can stop green areas from growing. 4. A Chinese non-governmental organizations (NGO) — The China Green Foundation — is working to change this by planting millions of trees. Another NGO that is making big changes is Welfare Togo. Togo is a developing country in Africa. It faces many environmental problems, including air and water pollution and desertification. To help, Welfare Togo opened 31 schools across the country that focus on teaching sustainable development. Its aim is using education to bring positive environmental changes to Togo.
5. However, through small everyday changes, such as recycling correctly, we can also bring about considerable changes to our natural world.
A.This is called desertification.
B.It aims to support environmental protection around the world.
C.His idea was so successful that more than 20 million people joined in Earth Day events.
D.However, because of high demand, we still make more than 300 tons of new plastic every year.
E.It challenges people to promote environmental education.
F.Not all of us can make such large contributions.
G.Fortunately, many NGOs are stepping up to promote positive changes.
In South Korea, students pay for classes in everything from K-pop auditions (韩流试镜)to real estate (房地产)deals. Now, top Korean firms are using artificial intelligence (AI) in hiring, and job-seekers want to learn how to beat the robots.
From his basement office in Seoul, career consultant Park Seong-jung is among those in a growing business of offering lessons in handling recruitment screening by computers, not people. Video interviews using facial recognition technology to analyze character are key, according to Park.
"Don't force a smile with your lips," he told students looking for work in a recent session, one of many he said he has conducted for hundreds of people. "Smile with your eyes".
Classes in dealing with Al in hiring, are still a tiny part of the country's multi-billion-dollar cram school (补习学校)industry. But classes are growing fast, operators like Park's People & People consultancy claim, offering a three-hour package for Up to 100,000 won ($86).
There's good reason to see potential. As many: as 8 out of every 10 South Korean students are estimated to have used cram schools, and high youth unemployment in the country—nearly one in four young people are not in the workforce—offers a motivation not present in other countries where cram schools are popular, like Japan.
One AI video system reviewed by Reuters asks candidates to introduce themselves, during which it spots and counts facial expressions including "fear" and "joy" and analyses word choices. AI hiring also uses "gamification" to judge a candidate's personality and adaptability by putting them through numbers of tests. Preparing for such tests doesn't necessarily involve simply memorizing answers. Some games don't even have a 'right answer', as they are aimed to spot the problem-solving attitude of the applicant.
Consultant Park said he gave Al firing talks to more than 700 university students, graduates and lecturers in 2019. In an online chat room monitored by Park, with more than 600 participants, numerous messages indicate thanks for the classes and success in AI interview quests. "Students are struggling from the emergence of AI interviews. My goal is to help them be fully prepared for what they will be dealing with," said Park.
