9、mpian Maria has generously auctioned（拍卖）off her Tokyo Games silver medal to raise funds for a babys lifesaving operation.

10、ly worsening, and he was in need of immediate surgery. His parents sought funds to cover the cost of his transportation and medical care for the complicated surgery at Stanford University Medical Center in the United States. As a cancer survivor, Maria knows what it is like to fight the disease. She
11、 overcame bone cancer and a shoulder injury to make her comeback and compete at this summers Tokyo Olympic Games. Her hard work paid off, earning her first medal. Athletes make enormous sacrifices to have an opportunity to compete at the Olympic Games, and winning an Olympic medal is every athletes
12、dream. Maria treasured what the medal represents. However, she decided her medal was more valuable at auction if the raised funds could help save a childs life. Maria stated in her social media auction announcement that Miloszeks fundraising already had a good head start. It was at the halfway point
13、 of reaching its goal of $390,000. That was thanks to the family of a recently deceased young boy who generously donated the funds originally meant for their son. Maria hoped her Olympic silver medal would take the fundraising across the finish line. Zabka, a popular Polish supermarket chain, won Ma

17、ties of the world sometimes escape the grasp of our relatively short-sighted understanding. Perhaps thats why the urgency of the climate crisis and other environ-mental issues dont truly hit home for some; because that important data is presented in a dry, factual way that doesnt touch the deeper pa
18、rts of our collective soul, in a way that would move us to realize what is being lost. Clare Celeste is an environmentally-minded artist creating artworks that aim to highlight the precious biodiversity of the planet. Using paper that is complexly cut and then hand-assembled piece by piece, Celeste
19、forms imaginary landscapes of plants and animals that are folded or pressed between glass. Growing up in Brazil, Celeste says that her earliest childhood memories were of green, tropical ecosystems slowly being eaten up by the rapid expansion of nearby cities. Celeste said, “When I made a series of
20、combinations, I realized that many of the species in the illustrations had already gone extinct. Humans have wiped out 68 percent of all our planets biodiversity since 1970, so working with old illustrations can be very heartbreaking as much of the diversity in these beautiful old illustrations has
21、been wiped out by human activities.”Celeste explains some of the motivations behind this series of paper works: “I wanted to convey the beauty of our planets plants and animals, while also introducing a more architectural or human-made element with the geometric (几何图形的) patterns. Having grown up in
22、Brazil, I was surrounded by dense urban spaces that often had rich jungle growth just wanting to break through the concrete architecture. I suggest we go back to our love: our love of nature, of our children, of future generations. Because when we love something deeply, we are required to actto save

26、ng natural beauty.In school, we re taught word repetition is bad and that we shouldnt use the same word over and over again in the same piece. It gives the impression that we have a severely limited vocabulary. Later on, however, we re sometimes told that its better to use the same word repeatedly.
27、With dialogue, some novel-writing professors recommend using said with each comment instead of replacing it with synonyms（同义词）（whispered, responded, etc.）. Word repetition is also an emotional appeal strategy for speeches and sales, because people remember and respond to things they hear multiple ti
28、mes. So which way is right?The answer is, It depends.” If youre writing for school, its not a very good idea to use the same word constantly. If youre writing dialogue that you want to keep moving at a fast pace, using mostly “said” can help do that because he said” and she said” more or less fade i
29、nto the background. They dont take much time or attention for the readers, so they can skip over and focus on the dialogue. However, this isnt a hard-and-fast rule. You might rely on “said” for one scene and mix in a bunch of synonyms for another. Repeating a word can also provide emphasis, and its
30、really good for sales. Think about commercials and how they re-use specific words to make sure that those words stick in your memories. The trick to this method, however, is that you have to make sure other words arent repeating the same way. Otherwise, the repetition loses its power. In the end, it
31、 comes down to personal taste and the effect you re trying to achieve. As Shakespeare said, there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so. You may need to repeat the same word every time. You may need to mix it up with synonyms. You may need to do both at the same time for different
32、ideas. And the decision may change completely by what youre trying to do.12Why should you avoid repetition in your school essay?AIt would get readers angry if you did that.BTeachers thinks less of your vocabulary.CEssays are graded by your vocabulary.DReaders hate to read simple words over again.13W

36、eyed used a name or a birthday in their password. And 24% admitted using a password like one of these below: 1234, 12345, 123456, etc. _17_ Since both personal and work accounts are accessible from the same device with the same password, it simplifies the work a bad actor has to do in order to breac

Following these guidelinesand insisting your employees do the samewill help protect you against threats from weak or
