Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii is a nonprofit organization devoted to 【小题1】 (keep) the state’s coastlines clean. It has been working to reduce the effects of 【小题2】 (pollute) and climate change since 2010. The program 【小题3】 (begin) when eight young people came together to discuss a problem that troubled them: trash littering Hawaii’s beaches.

“We grew from eight to twelve, and now we have over 35,000 volunteers,” Caitlyn McCall, 【小题4】 servesas a volunteer at the organization, told me in an interview.

The nonprofit’s office 【小题5】   (locate) in Kaimuki, a neighborhood in Honolulu. More than 30 coordinators are based there. They focus on three major 【小题6】 (program): sustainable events, cleanups and education. The group has organized 240 cleanups, prevented an estimated 600,000 pounds of trash from ending up in the ocean, and educated 45,000 children.

The next step for the program is 【小题7】 (carry) out their sustainability courses with Hawaii’s Department of Education. As of now, a team from the nonprofit will visit a local school to talk with students about 【小题8】 (environment) sustainability. 【小题9】 team educates kids about the lifecycle of household products, their effects on marine life, and how the items we buy can end up on our shores.

Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii also hosts free cleanups for schools. “Climate change is a concerning subject for young people,” McCall said. “We want to equip students 【小题10】 the knowledge and tools they need to feel empowered to make a change.”

To raise the elderly’s【小题1】 (motivate) of learning telecommunication fraud (欺骗) crimes, volunteers of Qingdao “Blue Vest” held【小题2】 special anti-fraud lecture at an elderly service center on Sept 10.

【小题3】 (make) the lectures more interesting, volunteers organized a quiz show on fraud related issues and those who came up with the correct answers【小题4】 (give) a steamed bun (馒头) weighing 1.5 kilograms each as prizes—which had essential anti-fraud materials printed on them using edible (可食用的) coloring.

This method was widely welcomed by the attendees and the service center was crowded with people. According to the local police, elderly citizens are key【小题5】 (target) of telecommunications fraud. By acquiring basic knowledge on anti-fraud practices, they can better identify the crime. The volunteers chose steamed buns as prizes because they are【小题6】 (constant) liked by the locals.

Volunteers also handed out handbooks on telecommunication fraud prevention to the seniors, 【小题7】 included tips for proper smart phone use as well as learning why you should not click unknown links, not to provide or sell bank cards, phone cards and not to provide other important information【小题8】 strangers.

The handbooks also warned that when【小题9】 (face) sceptical situations, one should instantly check the information or call the police with relevant evidence saved. The case was widely spread online and some netizens commented. “With anti-fraud buns【小题10】 (eat), anti-fraud knowledge grows in mind.”

I graduated from the Shaanxi University of Chinese Medicine in 1994, and 【小题1】 (work) in orthopedics(骨科) for 26 years by the time I took part in 【小题2】 Chinese Medical Volunteers tour in Yushu, Qinghai province in August 2020.

Then, I used Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) to treat a variety of health problems, including severe pains, blood pressure issue and kneed 【小题3】 (injure). These conditions are 【小题4】 (primary) caused by the local people’s herding practice and the tough environment 【小题5】 they live, and are also associated with some of their unhealthy living habits.

TCM methods can only relieve the pain for a short time, and sometimes they are unable to address the fundamental causes. So, I suggested that Chinese Medical Volunteers perform surgeries locally 【小题6】 bring the patients to better developed regions. We successfully completed surgeries on 21 patients. One surgery had to 【小题7】   (cancel) because the patient had severe heart failure.

As the head of the surgical team, I was 【小题8】 a lot of pressure because we were responsible for ensuring the safety of every patient, 【小题9】 (rid) them of their pain and improving their quality of life. Another goal of our action was 【小题10】 (provide) local medical workers with hands-on training, so local villagers would still be able to access quality treatment conveniently after we left.
