Are Your Clothes Causing Pollution?
Very small pieces of plastic, called microfibers, are polluting rivers and oceans. 1. Clothes worn for outdoor activities and exercise are often made of artificial material, which is useful in keeping warm. But they contain very small plastic fibers, which may also be harming the environment when you wash them. When people wash these clothes, very small pieces go down the drain (下水道) with the wash water.
2.
Pollution caused by plastic is not new, but recent studies have shown the effect of microfibers in the environment.
Studies show very small microfibers are ending up in our waters, which may come from waste water treatment factories. A 2015 study found them in fish from California.
Microfibers，effect on food supplies.

Until more information becomes known, there are steps to take to reduce the amount of microfibers in the environment.

Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.
Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.
Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience’s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewer feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money.
Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me “.
Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.
1.What do persuasion and art have in common?
A. They both entertain the audience.
B. They both require great skill to achieve.
C. They both demand full attention from the audience.
D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek Writers.
2.How is a speaker able to show his ethos to the audience?
A. By expressing his sympathy with the audience.
B. By telling the audience about his personal preference.
C. By using beautiful language to make his statements attractive.
D. By showing his knowledge and experience related to the topic.
3.What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?
A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion.
B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.
C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.
D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.
4.An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all
bacteria” is mainly using .
A. ethos B. pathos
C. logos D. a combination of all three

How Can I Fight Laziness?Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.1. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.

English teacher and Internet entrepreneur (企業家) Jack Ma founded Alibaba 18years ago in his tiny apartment in Hangzhou, China. Now, Ma has become the richest man in China. Every current entrepreneur and business leader should learn from how a Chinese English teacher became such a great success.
Start here, go anywhere. Recognizing the importance of English, young Ma would ride his bike to a nearby hotel and guide foreigners around the city just to learn and practice the language.
He has vision and he had help. Ma saw the Internet’s enormous potential to bridge businesses across China’s huge population early on. So he and his wife brought 17 friends together and pooled ＄60,000 to start the company. That formed the basis for the company’s dynamic partnership structure and unique culture.
Big problems lead to big opportunities. China’s lack of infrastructure (基礎設施) has always been a problem for the enormous nation’s small businesses. Alibaba solved that and now accounts for 80% of the country’s e-commerce.

A. Jack Ma’s life story B. the secrets to Jack Ma’s success
C. Jack Ma’s business team D. the development of Alibaba
2.According to the article, the first step in Jack Ma’s success came from ______.
A. mastering the English language B. the unique culture of his partnership
