Sandy worked Tuesday through Saturday and wed talk small while I folded clothes. She told me about her son and
12、his grades, the new dog theyd just adopted. She was fascinated that I was studying poetry. She teased (开玩笑) that it was harder making a living as a poet than as a laundry attendant. Even then I knew she was probably right.I began to recognize others there: workers taking breaks by the door, a mother
13、 and her baby, and even some delivery drivers. But Sandy was the center of my community. For nearly three years and almost every week, Id do laundry and talk with her.

17、e to America since the 1700s. In each of these stories I see elements of my own story, that of leaving my birthplace and family and creating a new life in a different culture and in a different language.The child of Italian immigrants and an award-winning scholar of Italian literature, in the book M
18、y Two Italies Joseph Luzzi struggled to create or find his own identity from an early age. Even more problematic for him was “which” Italy to “choose,” the one he inherited(继承) from his family, poor and linked to old traditions and customs he finds rude and somewhat cruel, or the one he finds in lit
19、erature and art books that show him a country with a modern literary culture.The choice becomes even sadder as in his professional life he becomes a scholar of Italian literature and culture. He describes episodes of his youth that show the clash between the first and the second generation immigrant
20、s that are both funny and tragicomic(悲喜剧式的).

25、ry.DA diary entry.With an abundance of sun and wind, Spain is positioning itself as Europes future leader in green hydrogen (氢气) production to clean up heavy industries. But some energy experts express caution because this process relies on massive availability of zero-carbon electricity.Green hydro

The process doesnt produce planet-warming carbon dioxide, but less than 0.1% of global hydrogen production is currently created in this way.The separat
27、ed hydrogen can be used in the production of steel, ammonia (氨) and chemical products, all of which require industrial processes that are harder to stop fossil fuels.

28、Spains large, windswept and thinly populated territory receives more than 2,500 hours of sunshine on average per year, providing ideal conditions for wind and solar energy, and therefore green hydrogen production.“If you look at where hydrogen is going to be produced in Europe in the next million ye
