When Anne Glancey, a retired school teacher, received notice from the city of Hamilton Township that she would be fined up to $3,000 per day for code violations(违规) and repairs that needed to be made to her home, she didn't know what to do.She did not have the money to pay for the repairs, and she had no family or friends she could ask for help.
The only contact she regularly made with others was with her neighbors of five years,Adam and Kristin Polhemus. Anne showed the-letter to them which explained that she needed to scrape(刮) and paint her house, remove the abandoned and rusted car in her yard, and cut the grass. These were three violations in total,each with a fine of no mote than$1 ,000, per day,per violation.Anne had grown up in the house, and the letter made her upset. She didn't know what she was going to do and she couldn't do this herself.“Anne, we'll help you get this fixed,”Adam said.
Kristin posted a call for help and volunteers to help make repairs and paint Anne's house on Facebook. Her post read as follows:
Hamilton area friends! Are you free for a few hours this weekend? We need you! Adam and I could use your help for some painting at the home of our elderly neighbor, Anne. As you know, she received a heavy fine and she's on a deadline to scrape and repaint her home to avoid the fine. She's limited in funds and the physical ability to do the work, and we'd love nothing more than to show her we care. We really do need your help; we only have a few people right now and we're hoping for about 20 volunteers to make this happen. THANK YOU!

“Some kids are naturally more competitive than others,” says professional adviser Roseann Clay. But certain factors play into the behavior of kids to make them want to win at everything.
One factor is that kids are becoming aware of what others think of them. Winning games and getting those top grades is a way to get loads of attention.1.When kids have a genuine fear of losing, this can drive them to be more competitive. And when they lose, bad emotions usually follow. How can parents deal with kids who get angry or upset when they don't win all the time?
2.Roseann suggests that parents make a point of showing how they handle losing well, while still having fun. And before any competitive activity or game, make sure everyone knows what the rules and expected behaviors are. This helps a child shift from an “I'm only good if I win”attitude to “ I'm having fun” attitude.
If a child is pushed to be too competitive and care about winning above all else, their emotional well-being is put at risk. The knock-on effect is that their confidence remains low.3.
Also, some children's anxiety causes them to be afraid of competition.
4.They should to open up conversation and focus on the feelings of kids and not their behaviors.
5.We can help them celebrate and enjoy all the small steps it took to get there, and encourage a more positive outlook and healthy competition. This will serve ! them throughout life as they manage stress.
A.Not all kids want to win.
B.Kids can still celebrate a win.
C.Parents shouldn't push these kids.
D.Insecurity can also be a factor here.
E.Insecure children want to win everything.
F.This can really rock a developing child's emotional core.
G.Children can learn to manage their emotions with role modeling.
They're life jacket orange, they’re robots and they're capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention.
On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched a pair of Saildrones(海洋无人机) in Pacific Northwest waters for the first time. Their summer long sailing journey will stretch from Vancouver Island to California. The Saildrone operators will collect data to help set future fishing seasons. The government wants to see whether seagoing. robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships.
Nora Cohen from NOAA said,“The 23 foot tong seagoing robots can follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time. And they don't require any fuel. We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors.”He added,“It means that we're able to go to places where we don't really want to send people, and go into weather that we really don't want anyone ever to be in, and be able to send back measurements.”
The primary mission is to investigate the species and number of fish in existence and the places where they are. Larry Hufnagle, scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle, said a traditional big NOAA research ship-based survey costs around $25，000 per day. By comparison, one Saildrone runs $2,500 per day.
“It could be a significant saving,”Hufnagle said. “But like anything else, there is a tradeoff in what you get and what you don't get. On the manned ship, we have limited time. It takes a lot of people. We spend a fair amount of money. But there is one thing the Saildrone can't do that humans can: cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below. The Saildrones are going to give us additional data, not replacement data.”
Nora Cohen said Sail Drone, a venture capital-backed company based in Alameda, California, expects to launch a total of 11 of its seagoing robots to survey different water bodies for NOAA this year. The Bering and Arctic seas, coastal California and Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.
1.What is the purpose of collecting fish data?
A.To explore the ocean.
B.To assist fishing industry.
C.To learn the habits of fish,
D.To improve fishing skills
2.What is mainly discussed about the Saildrone in Paragraph 3?
A.Its advantages.
B.Its appearance.
C.Its power systems.
D.Its primary mission.
3.What does the underlined word “tradeoff”in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Debate. B.Reason.
C.Reality. D.Balance.
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A.The Saildrone has a promising future.
B.Hufnagle thinks little of the Saildrone.
C.Manned ships will be completely replaced.
D.Production of seagoing robots is restricted.
