Th

11、with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in s
12、ocial status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think its ra
13、ther a praise, dont you?” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if youre in your job youve got to be soft and warm and human, but youve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the quest
14、ion saying youve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”.

18、appear insignificant, but recent studies indicate it may be as essential as the need for sleep. Playfulness helps some young animals learn to master their bodies and their environments and once they do, most stop playing as adults. “Adult play promotes qualities that we humans could use more of,” sa
19、ys Jeff Harry, a play consultant. Unfortunately, social standards restrain (抑制) our urge to let loose. “Being a playful adult is really disapproved in our society,” he says. “You dont want people to think that youre childish.”“It hasnt always been this way,” says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Bos
20、ton University. When Gray reviewed descriptions of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he noticed that they were often described as “good-humored” and “joyful”. “What we would call work hunting and gathering was fun,” he says. “Generally speaking, we like to do the things that are necessary f
21、or our survival. Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play entirely,” Gray adds.We may be able to reverse this situation, says Harry. As we fully make the transition to a knowledge-based economy, work and play are begin
22、ning to merge (合并) again. Some of todays most successful companies, such as Google and Apple, were started by people tinkering (小修补) in their garages. “Play is all about looking at a tough world with creativity and optimism,” Brown says. He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for
23、 our survival as a species”. The next time Im caught playing, I know exactly what Ill say, “I am not wasting time, or acting immature. Im playing for the benefit of all humanity. Youre welcome.”8Why does Stuart Brown consider adult play essential?AIt promotes creativity.BIt battles depression.CIt fa

The
27、ir findings, published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, could one day improve plastic recycling.Its no secret that plastic pollution is still a big, global issue. Since its production exploded during and after World War II, humans have created more than 9.1 billion tons of plastic and resea
28、rchers estimate that less than one tenth of the resulting waste has been recycled. To make matters worse, the most common recycling option when plastic is washed, processed and turned into new products doesnt actually reduce waste: The recycled materials are often of lower quality and might later en
29、d up in a landfill all the same.So, researchers are looking for solutions to the plastics problem that go beyond conventional recycling and one process theyve experimented with is breaking down plastics using microbes. But the known plastic-digesting microbes can only do so at warm temperatures abov
30、e 85 degrees Fahrenheit. When done at an industrial scale, the amount of energy needed to generate that much heat makes the process give off more carbon and cost more money.But the microbes found in the Arctic and Swiss Alps can function at cooler temperatures: They were able to break down biodegrad
31、able (可生物降解的) plastics at 59 degrees Fahrenheit. In the new study, co-author Joel Rthi and his colleagues discovered that of the total 34 types of microbes examined,19 were successfully able to break down a form of plastic called polyester-polyurethane, and 17 could break down two types of biodegrad
32、able plastic mixtures.Unfortunately, the plastics that the microbes partially degraded represent a “really small amount of plastics in circulation,” said Gavin Lear, an environmental microbiologist, who was not involved in the study. Lear acknowledged that using natural microbes can provide a head s

If we move away from the conventional non-biodegradable materials, “and we start to use more of these biodegradable plastics, then its good that we know how to degrade them more quickly so theyre less of an environmental problem,” he conc

He also knew it was now or never to pursue his lifelong dream of owning his own restaurant. But he was
38、too old to compete with the young and too weak to do any labor work. 18 He didnt want to spend his rest life sitting around and feeling pity for himself.

He had to
