19、troit, Michigan, she received a task to “design to fill a need.” She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags, made 25 of them, and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground. While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from thos
20、e braving Detroits cold winters, one woman voiced dissatisfaction. “We dont need coats; we need jobs,” she told Veronika. Then she had her second inspiration. After graduating from college in 2012, Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan, a nonprofit organization. She hired two homeless women to sew t
21、he coats and paid - 5 -them with donations she received through her blog. Now, the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10,000 coats and distributed them in 30 states, Canada, and elsewhere abroad.“We dont require previous employment,” Veronika says. “Were looking for
22、people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify. Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing, and some go on to jobs in the auto industry and construction.Veronika has bettered the coats design by making its outer layer o
23、f a lightweight material that resists air, wind, and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat.

However, now - 6 -they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, d
27、uring which many of todays students are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support need to come from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with an
28、d dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy (自主权） and adult responsibility, universities have gi
29、ven in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on” new ways of personally. While we should provide students “safe s
30、paces” , we must also make it safe to express opinions and experience challenges.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate
31、their social behavior and thinking pattern, they are missing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controll
32、ed by their elders.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescents, desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to exper

35、he following would the author most probably agree with?A. Todays colleges arent qualified in cultivating students intellectual ability.B. Cellphones, email and social media play a constructive role in building up students autonomy.C. Colleges should provide opportunities for students to express opin

College students feel confused about their desire to be independent and misunderstand an unsafe world.DSea turtles are one of several species that have temperature-dependent sex determination. The number of female babies increases when nests are made in warmer sands
37、. A recent study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, California State University and Worldwide Fund for Nature Australia examined two genetically distinct populations of green sea turtles living in the Great Barrier Reef. The study found that a group of about 200,000 turtles livi
38、ng in the northern part of the reef was almost entirely female. While the southern population was 65 to 69 percent female, females in the northern group accounted for 99.1 percent of young turtles and 86.8 percent of adults. After combining their results with temperature data, the scientists in - 8
39、-charge of the study found that the northern green turtles have been producing mainly females for more than two decades and that the complete feminization（雌性化）of this population is possible in the near future. The temperature at which the turtles will produce male or female babies can be passed on t
40、o the turtles children. Most sea turtle populations are now producing offspring above the most suitable temperature, making it clear that climate change poses a serious threat to the survival of these populations. The chief executive Of World Wildlife Fund Australia, Dermot OGorman, said this is ano
41、ther sign Of the impact Of climate change, following recent research that shows that coral bleaching(珊瑚白化) events are occurring far more frequently than in the past. “Weve had two years where weve had mass bleaching events on the Great Barrier Reef, “ he told Guardian Australia. “Thats a very visibl
42、e sign of the impact of climate change. But this is a quiet change. We cant see the impact its having on a turtle population until a study like this shows some long-term trends. “ The lead author of the paper, Dr Michael Jensen. said the findings represent a major environmental conservation issue. O
43、Gorman said more urgent action on climate change is clearly needed, adding that some conservationists have already taken practical measures, such as using shade cloth on turtle nesting beaches to lower the sand temperature, and reducing bycatch in the fishing industry. “Shade cloth can be used in ce
44、rtain places, but theres a limit to the scale you can do that, he said. “Now every large male who can reproduce is going to be even more important. 32.

49、eir family is. 36 After all, the more time parents spend working, the less time and energy they have to plan and prepare healthful meals.For years, most studies have focused on the role of working mothers while fathers were ignored.
