1 . The AWF is one of my heroes because it helps the animals in Africa stay alive and keeps them from dying out. They are trying to conserve wildlife by saving animals whose mothers were killed by poaching（偷猎）or from lack of food and water or loss of homes. They are also trying to conserve land by making it a protected area.

The AWF helps animals and the environment. AWF's task is as follows: “The African Wildlife Foundation, together with the people of Africa, works to ensure the wildlife and wild lands of Africa will exist forever.” They save their land through research and protecting wildlife habitat.

My fiend Erin feels it isn't the organization that is heroic but the people working for the organization. The people of the AWF risk their lives working in war zones and dangerous jungle environments to save African animals that are at risk of extinction. Each of these “heroes” is working to save a specific African animal that is at risk. The most famous was Diane Fossey who was working with gorillas（大猩猩）in the early 1980's and was murdered in the war. They made a movie about her devotions called Gorillas in the Mist. There are many other heroic people working with different animals that didn't get so much publicity.

The AWF's headquarters is in Nairobi, Kenya. The countries where it works include Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and many others. The AWF was founded in 1961 to increase awareness of the problems with different programs in the 1970's as well as continuing the more hands on aspects of saving the animals to this day.

The biggest task of the AWF is to bring back all of the animals from hear dying out. The foundation cannot do this by itself; it needs the global help to save the animals. For example, Starbucks has agreed to help but much more is needed. There is little the foundation can do by itself without financial support.

4 . Bird pattern carved on Yubi in Chinese, comes alive and circles around, while an audio guide introduces the cultural relic and the bird’s connotation (寓意). Such is the experience of watching a cultural relic through a pair of augmented reality (AR) glasses at the Liangzhu Museum.

The museum displays various burial objects found in the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City in Hangzhou, showcasing the civilization of prehistoric rice agriculture and a state-level society between 3,300 B.C. and 2,300 B.C. The site was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List in July 2019, providing profound and compelling evidence that Chinese civilization started 5,000 years ago.

Using AR to tell Liangzhu’s ancient story and let the young people sense and feel close to cultural relics through modern technology is an important task at the museum, making it a pioneer in using modern technology and a hot place for tourists.

“I found that most students were very curious about it, and it could inspire students to have the desire to learn more,” said Chen Xi, the AR glasses provider. “I’ve never seen this before. The illustration of the ancient wild birds above is not that clear. But with the AR glasses, I know what the ancient wild bird exactly looks like and how it is different from what we see on TV,” said Rong Mei, a visitor in her twenties. “Compared with traditional ways of appreciating a cultural relic, AR glasses guide has virtual images which help people visually understand the information behind the relic, such as in which life scenarios was the relic used, its function and its cultural connotation,” said Zhou Liming, director of the Liangzhu Museum.

From digitalization to intelligentization (智能化), the Liangzhu Museum took more than five years. It started to collect the digital information of the ruins and relics since 2015. It paves the way for the museum to deliver Liangzhu’s story through multimedia approaches to attract more people, especially the youth, as modern technology bridges the gap between young people and cultural relics.

5 . For many famous people, fame is more than being on the big screen or performing on a stage or scoring a game-winning goal, but about using their likeness to bring awareness to different social justice topics or rare medical conditions or assisting undeveloped communities.

Holly Robinson Peete, a black actress, along with her husband, Rodney Peete, started the HollyRod Foundation in 1997. It was inspired by Robinson Peete’s father, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. After it was confirmed that their son was autistic, they expanded their efforts to assist autism community, hoping to bring awareness and resources to this group and help them find jobs.

The Foundation has partnered with Delivering Jobs, an organization creating pathways to one million employment opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental differences by 2025.

“Thanks to our partner, Delivering Jobs, my son has a job with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the World Series Champions,” Peete explains. “We are so happy that the job has given this boy purpose, a paycheck and self-worth and friends. He never had friends growing up and now he has a whole family.”

As Robinson Peete and the HollyRod Foundation continue to help those less fortunate, she shares one principle on how companies can support the autism community: Donate to those supporting programs which provide training to help individuals find a role that best suits their abilities. “Don’t think of a hire from the community as charity. In some cases, these workers will turn out to be your best employees.” says Peete.

6 . Children should spend at least one hour playing and spending time in nature each day, according to the Wildlife Trusts （野生生物基金会）.     1     It is now calling on the government to include nature time into daily school life.

    2    Its 451 students in the study were 8 or 9 years of age. They were interviewed before and after nature activities. The activities were run by the Wildlife Trusts over the course of several weeks, such as learning about plants and trees.

The children showed a great increase in personal health.     3    90 percent said they learned something new about the natural world； 79 percent felt the experience would help their schoolwork；    4    Perhaps most importantly, 79 percent mentioned they would believe more in themselves.

    5    And the time has been reducing greatly in recent years. A 2017 report found that less than 10 percent British kids enjoys themselves in nature, compared to 40 percent of adults when they were younger years ago.

7 . In 2010, a huge earthquake hit Haiti, causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand people and millions of dollars’ worth of damage.    1    On this occasion, funds were raised with amazing speed--within a week of the quake, the American Red Cross had raised $22 million. The reason? People were donating via their mobile phones.

    2     Gone are the days when people donated door by door. In today’s world of computers, smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, charities can now reach more people than ever before.

Social media in particular has had a great impact on charity.    3     This enables charities to raise money extremely quickly, as in Haiti. And the quicker aid can be delivered, the more lives can be saved. Individual fundraising has also benefited. Most people are now so well-connected through sites like Facebook that asking people to contribute to your chosen cause is easier than ever.

New, innovative ways of donating are being thought up all the time. For example, if you want to support a good cause and keep fit at the same time, you can use an app called Charity Miles.    4     For every kilometer you cover, the app’s sponsors will make a donation to a charity of your choice. There’s also Snapdonate, which allows users to donate simply by taking a photo of a charity’s logo with their smartphone. The app recognizes the logo and allows users to immediately make a donation through their phones. This cuts out the need for entering payment details on charity websites, and makes the process of donating small amounts to multiple charities much simpler.

Apps like these are growing in number, and that can only be a good thing.    5

B．The app can track the distance you run or cycle.

C．News of disasters spreads quickly around the world.

10 . According to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.

So, for the past 40 years, a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time.

Katherine Roboff is the group’s executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the group’s success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade—in US, that is usually age 11 or 12.

Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade—around age 13—they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect. The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student’s future more than anything                                        that happens academically in high school.

Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer, when public schools take a break of about two months. High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor（导师）.

The purpose of the program is to help them those after-school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high schools.”
