When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite
26、 pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and Id sit at the old sewing machine for hours.In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes.
27、I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasnt just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing.About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue eve
28、ning dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was hold
29、ing a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked with.Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner part
30、y? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and youre creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you
31、 find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste.I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discoveryand the many others Ive found over th
32、e yearsby displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling but has also deepened my connection to the past,

36、 Yellow River is the cradle (摇篮) of Chinas civilization. And flood control and prevention have always been key to the well-being of the people living along it. Now, scientists can better work on these issues by giving the river a digital twin.The digital twin of the Yellow River uses various technol
37、ogies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things. Devices set up along the river collect and transmit information to the command center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is presented on the computer screen. Its like the Yellow River has a twin that refl
38、ects its real conditions.One big breakthrough in the rivers digital governance (管理) is “smart stones”. According to Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Information Center of Yellow River Henan Bureau, a smart stone is a water-proof stone-shaped device with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter (
39、尤指电台或电视信号的发射机). They are buried in important dike (堤坝) locations to record and report the movement of dike stones. “Upon feeling movement of the dike stones, the smart stone sends an alarm to the command center for quick response,” Wang said.“In the past, researchers had to learn the conditions of t
40、he dike on the spot by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zhao Xiaoxiong from the bureau. “Now the smart stones can do this for us, more safely, quickly, and accurately.”And in the sky, drones are flying. On the routes designed by engineers, the drones become expert patrollers (巡逻员) of t
41、he river, looking at its dikes and flood prevention projects. According to Shen Lin from the Yellow River Conservancy Commission, thanks to the drones, researchers at the command center can get first-hand photos and information. “Researchers then update the 3D model according to the changes the dron
42、es reported. The newly updated model helps us test our floodwater release plans (泄洪计划) in case we need to batten down the hatches,” said Shen.Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping to protect the Yellow River Basin on all fronts. According to the Ministry of Water Resourc
43、es, in the future, we can expect to see the construction of an even more comprehensive digital system for this important river.41What is the main purpose of creating a digital twin of the Yellow River?ATo study the wildlife in the Yellow River.BTo raise public awareness of river protection.CTo impro
44、ve flood control and prevention efforts.DTo provide a virtual reality experience of the river.42How do the “smart stones” contribute to the rivers digital governance?AThey record water quality.BThey enhance the rivers beauty.CThey monitor and report dike movements.DThey serve as markets for importan
45、t locations.43What is one of the functions of drones in the digital governance of the Yellow River?AProviding entertainment for the people living along the river.BCollecting data to update a 3D model for flood management.CTransporting researchers to remote locations along the riverDPatrolling and ge
