At the age of seven,while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys,Jose Adolfo Quisocola was busy saving money for basic purchases.To try to get his peers (同齡人) to do the same,the boy from Peru came up with the idea of an eco-bank,the Bartselana Student Bank,which allows kids of all ages to become financially independent while also helping the environment.
    Set up in 2012 the bank is the world's first bank for kids.To become a member,a kid has to bring in at least 5 kilograms of solid waste and set a savings goal.Once accepted,all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram of recyclables on a monthly basis and observe other requirements,such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops.
    The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies,which,thanks to Jose's efforts,pay a higher - than - market rate for everything brought in by the bank members.The money received is placed in the personal account where they collect until the savings goal is reached.The account holder can then withdraw the money,or choose to leave it and make it continue to grow for a bigger target. "At the beginning,my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project," Jose recalls. "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present.Luckily,I had the support of the school headmaster and an assistant in my class."
    The boy's efforts paid off,and by 2013,the bank had over 200 members,who brought in one ton of recyclable waste.Today,the eco - bank,which now has the support of several local institutions,boasts ten educational centers.They are designed to teach over 3,000 students,aged 10 to 18,to become financially independent,use their money wisely,and help the environment.Not surprisingly,Jose's efforts have earned him several national and international awards.On November 20,2018,Jose won Children's Climate Prize,which comes with a medal and $5,500 in prize money and is given to a child or youth who has accomplished an extraordinary achievement for the climate or environment.

  • 1.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students,free periods (課、節(jié)) are useless.From what I have seen,few do homework. (1)
    .This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year,I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
       (2)
    .Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
       In my 8th grade,I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement;so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot,but I built mine incorrectly,so it broke in the kiln (窯). (3)
    .Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However,the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
       (4)
    !College is when we should focus on a specific major,but high school is when we have to figure it out.
       Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. (5)
    .

    A.Our school offers many classes
    B.We should find out what we are good at
    C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
    D.Instead,many are on their phones and talking
    E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
    F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
    G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future

  • 2.Most smart phones allow you to run location-sharing software that uses the phone's GPS capability to let friends and family know your exact location.There are lots of great uses for this technology.(1)
    So make sure you're permitted to use an app or service,and pay attention to how you are using it.Here're some important points you may find helpful.
       Choose what's best for you.Some location-sharing services are games that let you give a shout-out when you've turned up at a particular spot.(2)
    Still others continue to share your location until you change the setting.Be sure you know exactly how your service shares your location.
       Know who your friends are.(3)
    This means people can search to see if you're online and add you as a friend.It's important to remember that sharing your location with people you've never met in real life is risky,so you should carefully manage friend requests and share your location only with people you know and trust.
       (4)
    Some services automatically stop sending your location after a period of time,but others will send it forever-until you stop it.Review your contact list periodically and delete anyone to whom you no longer feel comfortable revealing your location.
       Update parents.Location-based services are a great way for teens to let parents know where they are without having to call or text.(5)
    If you're heading home late at night,you can also use a service like Glympse to share your location as you drive,so they'll know if you have car trouble or get stuck in traffic.
    A.Check back often.
    B.Keep sending your location.
    C.However,these services are not for all children.
    D.With its help,you can easily share your location with them.
    E.Check-ins ease worries so they don't have to follow your every move.
    F.Others show where you are all the time or for a period of time you set.
    G.Some location services operate like Facebook,where you invite and accept friends.
