Boyan Slat has one huge goal. It's a goal that could be good for people and a {#blank#}1{#/blank#} all over the world. Amazingly, it looks like he's going to m {#blank#}2{#/blank#}his goal.

    When he was 16  Dutch engineering student Slat was on vacation in Greece, and he started to think about all the rubbish that is p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} onto beaches by water. The oceans around the world are all of plastic—millions of tons of plastic. Unfortunately, plastic doesn't just disappear. It takes c{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to break down (分解).

    The p{#blank#}5{#/blank#} situation of the oceans is bad and worrying and Slat wanted to do something to change it. So he made it a personal goal to clean up the rubbish in the world's oceans.

    Slat started with an idea for an unusual m{#blank#}6{#/blank#} to "catch" the plastic floating (漂浮) in the water using the natural energy of the ocean. He left school in 2013 to begin work on his project The Ocean Cleanup. Soon, the project r{#blank#}7{#/blank#} a lot of attention.

    A year later, he was leading a team of 100 scientists and engineers working on the invention. Slat needed money for this, so he started asking people to d{#blank#}8{#/blank#} to his project online and raised over $ 2 million!

    Soon after, Slat was named a "Champion of the Earth" by the United Nations for his meaningful and v{#blank#}9{#/blank#} work. It's the most important title the UN gives to people helping the environment. The Ocean Cleanup also won several awards (奖项) for having one of the best inventions of 2015. But the d{#blank#}10{#/blank#} goes on for Slat. He hopes that the oceans will be free of plastic in about twenty or thirty years.

   Long long ago, there was a crowd of antelopes(羚羊)in the forest. In this crowd there was1wiseteacher. He was admired by everyone because he taught the young the tricks and strategiesof survival. One day, his younger sister brought her son2 him and asked him to teach3wasimportant to antelopes. She said, "Dear brother, this is my son, Dick. Pleaseteach him the tricks and strategies of survival. The teacher said to Dick, "You4 come at this time tomorrow foryour5 lesson."

    At first, Dick came to have lessons on timeevery day. But soon, Dick became6 inplaying games with others, so he began to cut classes.7,he didn't realize how dangerous it could be for a young antelope8 learned nothing but games.

    Unfortunately, one day the young antelope steppedin a trap. Knowing Dick9, his mother was worried. She went to herbrother and10 him"My brother, how is my son? Have you taught him the tricks and strategies ofsurvival? The teacher replied, "My dear sister, I tried11 best to teach him, but your son did not want tolearn the tricks and strategies of survival. He cut classes. How could I possiblyteach him?"

    At this time, they heard that Dick12 in a trap. They hurried to rescue him before itwas too late. Dick was too scared13 andregretted deeply.

14 the young antelope had kept learning15 all the time, he wouldn't have been caught.

 Hello, everyone. My name is Li Hua. Let me introduce my good friend Tom here.

①Many great scientists are left-handed, like Isaac Newton. So, some people say left-handers are smarter than right-handers. Is this true? 

②Scientific studies show that left-handers have no higher IQ(智商)than right-handers. They are just good at different things.

③Left-handers and right-handers usually use different sides of their brains(大脑). Right-handers use the left side more often, which is usually associated(有相关的)with logical thinking, language, and maths. But left-handers use both sides more evenly(均衡地). 

④Left-handers are good at thinking creatively(创造性地)in anything from art to science. But it's not all good news for them. They may easily forget names and places.

⑤Overall, left-handers and right-handers have their own unique cognitive strengths(认知优势), and we should realize and respect these differences.
