"We wanted our son to grow up in a place where he'd have a hot of recreational(娱乐的) activities. Canada was too cold and we weren't interested in Australia so we started to look into New

    "Zealand," Krunal said.

    "After receiving our visas(签证), we arrived in Auckland in March 2009 with on much of a plan. 1 found the job market to be difficult at the time. I have a Master's degree in Accounting(会计) and Finance(财经) and several years of experience as a manager in the financial field. I would spend about four to five hours a day applying(申请) jobs when we first arrived. After several months of searching, 1 approached (到达) the Auckland Chamber of Commerce where I met New Kiwis(新西兰人) Employment Liaison, Sheeam.

    Krunal is presently on a visa sponsored(担保) by his employer and wants to apply for Permanent Residence(永久居住) in the future.

走近废弃物

The artwork on the right is made from waste . It was created by Pascale MarthineTayou,{#blank#}1{#/blank#} artist from WestAfrica. He often used recycled waste materials such as plastic bags , or things collected on his travels to make the artwork:.

By using these materials ,{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(he ) works question environmental problems like global waste . Pascale 's artwork Plastic Bog Tree is {#blank#}3{#/blank#}( place ) in art galleries(美术馆) . The branches(树枝) are covered in brightly coloured plastic {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(bag ). The colourful trees remind people of the increasing waste {#blank#}5{#/blank#} the poor relationship the modern world has with nature .

Humans invented plastic but it has a much {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(long ) life than its inventors. We can make choices about {#blank#}7{#/blank#} we buy . And we can buy less .

An English philosopher called Mary Wollstonecraft , who was born in 1759, was very {#blank#}8{#/blank#}( interest ) in how people spent their money . She {#blank#}9{#/blank#}( try) to encourage people to think hard about what they really needed before they made the decision to buy. If we buy less , then we waste less!So, reducing waste is not a new idea but it is one that we need to think about {#blank#}10{#/blank#}( creative ), because now there is much waste that Mary would never have imagined !

Young scientist Li Yuehua works at Zhejiang Lab(之江实验室) in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. There is something special about the lab— as Li enters it, she feels out of this world. It brings her to one of the earth's closest neighbors: Mars.

The lab simulates(模拟) the environment, such as the ground and light, on the red planet. In the lab, Li and her team develop and test AI technology to make future Mars rovers(火星车) smarter.

Zhurong, China's first Mars rover, got to Mars in 2021. As Zhurong moves on Mars, it sends information back to the earth. The ground team checks the information before it can move on. The process can take up to 40 minutes.

" Today's rovers are like babies. They can perceive what's around them but they're not able to understand them. Scientists on the earth must tell them how to communicate with the environment," said Li." We hope our AI technology will help Mars rovers learn about the environment and decide where to go on their own."

Li's team needed a better place to do that. Is there anywhere similar to Mars on the earth? The answer was found in the deep desert of Dunhuang, Gansu Province. The team went there in summer and soon started to work. However, it was so hot that several machines stopped working and some team members got sick. Although it was really hard, they didn't give up. Finally, the team developed a better technology.

" An important part of science is facing failure(失败)," Li said." It is like climbing. You face difficulties and try to solve them time after time."
