La-Pierre had flown from Boston to Chicago, sleeping in O'Hare Airport to save money. Early on the morning of October 13, he boarded the city's Blue Line to head for the Chicago Marathon.

The train was full of energized marathoners. La-Pierre took a seat next to a fellow runner and began chatting. Before long, La-Pierre noticed a man who seemed to be homeless moving from passenger to passenger, asking for spare change. His behavior struck La-Pierre as" really weird", especially the way he stared down anyone he felt hadn't given him enough.

At the Cumberland station, several stops before the one for the marathon, most of the passengers suddenly fled the car. La-Pierre shocked, rushed out to see what was going on, only to hear panicked people shouting that the man asking for money was, in fact, an armed and robbing guy.

Just then, the armed man himself exited the train car and hopped onto the next one. La-Pierre followed him." I could not walk away knowing there were innocent children and people just trying to get to a race. " he said.

The man was standing in the middle of the car when he turned and saw La-Pierre. La-Pierre crashed into the younger man, pinning him against the closed doors. The two men fought for the gun—and their lives.

"You don't move!" La-Pierre shouted, leaning into the armed man with his left side. The man tried shoving past him, but La-Pierre muscled him back against the door, grabbing the gun and handing it to a passenger, who quickly walked it off the train.

But La-Pierre wasn't in the clear. The man had accomplices (同伙) who now surrounded La-Pierre and began to threaten him. He knew he had only one chance to save himself, so La-Pierre growled (怒吼), " I'm a boxer. I'll break your head in one punch! " Then the police swarmed (聚集) around the train, and La-Pierre let them take over. He had a marathon to run.

This was not the first time La-Pierre has jumped into the fray (打斗). La-Pierre knew there was more to why he's become a serial good guy than that." I've lived a hard life" , he said" But I believe change starts within yourself. For the last 25 years, I've tried to make myself into a good man."

It should be one of the main goals in today's society to reduce plastic consumption. Though many believe recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it's actually the opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.

Now Asian countries, including Vietnam and Thailand, are looking for new ideas to avoid plastic. One of those ideas was a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging. One of Perfect Homes Chiangmai's team members noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using. Little did he know that people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. "I just popped in to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer, who was delayed. When I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea. So I took a few pictures and posted them online, he said.

With more than 3.5 million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea became something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement (实施).

Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free to which the supermarket responded that they are taking one step at a time, but it's not that easy. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many companies are interested in wrapping their produce in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option.

It's now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop stocking the items in plastic.

If you've ever watched Planet Earth, you know the ocean is a wild place to live. The water is full of different ecosystems and organisms varying in complexity from an erudite octopus to a sea star. Unexpectedly, it is the sea star, a simple organism characterized by a decentralized (分散的) nervous system, that offers insights into advanced adaptation to hydrodynamic forces — the forces created by water pressure and flow.

Researchers found that sea stars effectively stay attached to surfaces under extreme hydrodynamic loads by altering their shape. Sea stars create a "downforce" due to their shape. This mean that instead of being lifted by the flow forces, the sea stars are pushed downward toward the rock or floor surface they are on.

"Sea stars are incredibly adaptive," said Luhar, assistant professor. "When there is high wave activity and high water forces, sea stars will grow skinnier and take on a lower profile (姿态). When the sea star is transported to a sheltered environment with lower hydrodynamic forces, they pop up a bit and their cross sections get bigger."

Understanding such shape shifting could help design underwater robots that can similarly adapt to extreme hydrodynamic environments, Luhar said.

The researchers tested this understanding of sea star shape and its impact on force in the water with both computational and 3-D printed models. "Right away what we noticed," Luhar said, "is that instead of the sea stars being pulled away from the surfaces they were on, they were being pushed down- simply because of their shape."

Luhar said the researchers saw this downforce effect as key to how the sea star- and in the future, an underwater robot could stay attched to a sea bed or a rock as opposed to being lifted up away from it, even in the most extreme conditions.

Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. However, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving.  The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.

 After all, they do get rid of stuff that's past its sell-by-date and they often refuse to sell vegetables or fruit that are the wrong shape or look damaged. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need through promotions such as 'buy one get one free'.

 In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of fling our bellies our food is filling up landfill site — it's buried and left to rot. Unfortunately this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.

In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to handle this problem. She found that people were buying more than they needed and throwing too much away. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in bulk (大量) so that people bought only what they needed. She produced a leftovers cookbook and she's now set up an education programme in schools.

Clearly we need to think twice when we put something in our shopping trolley and when were alt home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers.

A. But the biggest wrongdoer for creating food waste is us.

B. This has helped create a significant 25% reduction in food waste.

C. We can even share our leftover food with our friends and neighbors.

D. It's a shocking fact that a third of the world's food is wasted each year.

E. Ten million people are short of food and suffer from starvation every year.

F. You may think supermarkets are the main contributors to this mountain of food.

G. Or maybe, you're shopping more efficiently, only buying what you need every day.

Dear George,

……

Yours,

Li Hua

I have forgotten the name of an old lady who was a customer on my paper run when Iwas a twelve- year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday.

On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing rocks onto the roof of the old lady's house from a spot in her backyard. The object of our play was to observe how the rocks changed to missiles (导弹) as they rolled to the roof edge and shot out into the yard like comets (彗星) falling from the sky.

I found myself a perfectly smooth rock. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the old lady's back porch. At the sound of glass being broken, we too off from the old lady's yard faster than any of our missiles flew off her roof. I was too scared about getting caught that first night.

However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn't been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I calculated would cover the cost of her window.
