14、nt hide her joy, and couldnt wait to shop for baby clothes with traditional African prints that she grew up wearing. “I was super surprised that I failed to find affordably priced African aesthetic(美学的) products that were designed from an authentic place, ” Temidayo said. Temidayo decided to take ma
15、tters into her own hands. At first, she focused on creating clothes just for her baby. But then, she put some of them on a website to see what happened.

However, for the symbols of childrens clothing in my heart, I threw myself into it. So I chose the latter. ”Then, in March 2020, Temidayo officially announced her own br
18、and: Ade + Ayo.

21、ead authentic cultures.CIts targeted overseas Africans.DIts inspired peoples creativity.Western monarch butterflies (WMBs, 西部帝王蝶) fly thousands of miles every year, flying north in spring and summer, and south in fall. Now, scientists want people in the western US to give them a hand by sending in a
22、ny pictures of monarchs they take this spring. WMBs, like most butterflies, help plants create seeds, which can then create more plants by spreading a dust called pollen between plants. In turn, monarchs depend on plants. They gather sweet nectar (花蜜) from flowers for food. They rest and spend their
23、 winters in trees. And they depend completely on a plant called milkweed to lay their eggs. Their number has been dropping sharply since the 1980s, when 3 million to 10 million butterflies migrated (迁徙) annually from the northwestern United States to spend the winter at hundreds of sites along the C
24、alifornia coast. In 2020, less than 2. 000 monarchs were counted in the entire state. But in 2021, that number jumped to 247, 237. Scientists still dont fully understand this phenomenon. But theyre studying it, saying itll take years of tracking them to work it out. Scientists have learned a lot abo
25、ut where Western monarchs spend the winters. But they know much less about where they go when they leave their winter homes. Thats why scientists from several universities are organizing a project called “Western Monarch Mystery Challenge” to seek for practical assistance from “citizen scientists” i
26、n the American west. Theyre asking anyone who sees a monarch butterfly outside of their winter homes this spring to take a picture and send it to them. By collecting the pictures, along with the date and place where the pictures were taken, scientists hope to learn more about what happens to the but
27、terflies and where they are after they leave their winter homes and protect them better in the future. Last years increase in monarch number is great news. But the number of monarchs is still way below the millions of butterflies that migrated in the 1980s.28What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about c

30、products we use every day are not able to be recycled. Americans alone throw away 42 million tons of single-use plastics each year, and only 9 percent of that waste can be turned into something else. The rest ends up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), or worse, the ocean. ByFusion, founded in 2017 in Los Angeles
31、, California, has worked out a way to put all that plastic waste to good use. It uses machines called Blockers to shape all kinds of plastics, even non-recyclables, into standard building blocks called ByBlocks that can be used to build anything. Now, BvFusion has built a pavilion (亭子) for a school
32、with blocks made from locally collected plastics. “Plastic was not invented to be thrown away,” the company states on their website. “Plastic is strong, flexible, and built to last. This is why plastic isnt the problem. The problem is that we dont have a good plan for its future, so now it is packed
33、 into landfills, burned at the edges of towns sending poisonous smoke into the air, and there are continents of it floating at sea killing precious wildlife.”ByBlocks require no glues and are 10 pounds lighter than traditional blocks, making construction work quicker and easier, which means no speci
34、al labor is needed. They wont break into pieces like concrete blocks would. They also create zero waste to make 1 ton of plastic equals 1 ton of ByBlocks. After years of experiments that cost much, the company has installed (安装) a full production unit in L. A, where it can process 450 tons of plasti
35、c per year, and there are 12 more Blockers arriving in U. S. cities soon. The company has set a goal to recycle 100 million tons of plastic waste by 2030, and it thinks the number is within reach. “If we get up to 9, 000 Blocker systems installed around the world by 2025, well make it, ” said founde
