Please help the Ruth Hayman Trust Who was Ruth Hayman?

When she came to England, she started up English language classes for adults who had come to live in England. When Ruth died in 1981, some teachers started a charity to remember her.

Who does the Trust help?

Adults who:

●are over the age of 16

●learn English as a foreign language

●are now living in Britain

In 2016-2017, we helped hundreds of students from about 40 countries to study lessons such as medicine, English and computer.

How does the Trust help?

Most of the money we give is for lesson and exam fees (費(fèi)). And we also give some money for books and tools such as knives and scissors.

Where is the money from?

We raise the money ourselves. Some people give us money because they support what we do. We also have many events such as concerts, sales of things and food to raise money. We once helped Naima. She helped us raise money later. She talked about how the Trust had helped to change her life. But we don’t have enough money. To continue helping people like Naima, we need to raise more money.

How can you help?

Please help by organizing a money-raising event in your college or in your community. We will help you say “thank you”.

Amy Cuddy thinks positive (積極的) body language includes things like proper eye contact, active listening, and gestures. Studies show that people who use positive body language are more likely to be accepted. However, most people don’t realize the importance of it. This passage may change their ideas.

From supermarket bags to CDs, man-made waste has become a very serious problem. Recently, scientists may have found an unusual way to solve the problem. They say the waxworm (蠟蟲), who eats beeswax as food, also appears to eat polyethylene, one of the strongest kinds of plastic.

Scientists have described the tiny worm’s ability as “very exciting”. Federica is a beekeeper. She put the waxworms into a plastic shopping bag which became full of holes a few minutes later. Then Federica did many more experiments. When 100 waxworms were put into a normal plastic bag, the holes began to appear in just 10 minutes.

According to the scientists, a kind of enzyme (酶) produced by the waxworm is the key. They also say that the waxworm turns the plastic into a different thing. It is used in making a material for cars. It is not clear if (是否) the waxworm can produce a large number of such things. Plastic is not a kind of natural food for the waxworm. “Wax is a kind of natural plastic. It is similar to polyethylene,” Federica said.

Scientists say they still need to know how wax is digested (被消化) in the waxworm. Federica said they would use the result to find a way to make the plastic waste disappear. “But we should not throw plastic bags into the environment, just because we now know how to break them down,” she added.

D. The waxworm is practising making holes in a plastic bag.

3.What is the relationship (關(guān)系) between plastic and the waxworm?

A. The waxworm likes to eat plastic because there is nothing else to eat.

B. The waxworm likes eating plastic because the wax is a kind of natural plastic.

C. People use special experiments to make the waxworm become interested in eating plastic.

D. The plastic is a kind of natural food for the waxworm to eat.

4.What will the scientists study next?

A. How they can make the plastic waste disappear.

B. How wax is different from polyethylene.

C. How wax is digested in the body of the waxworm.
