21、Sam Trull has worked with wildlife for almost 20 years, but she first found her soft spot for sloths (树懒) in 2013 after moving to Costa Rica to work for a small wildlife recovery center called Kids Saving the Rainforest. On arriving there, she took a liking to a two-week-old orphaned (孤儿的) sloth named Kermie. Sloths hug each other for both safety and comfort, so Trull cared for him with tender love, meals, and hugs. Soon other baby sloths were brought in. It was then that she realized that helping the creatures survive was her true calling.
When the sloths were grown and healthy enough to depart, Trull and her team built a 19-foot-cubed cage near the recovery center and left the door open, so the four-legged friends could come and go freely. They spent enough time eating and exploring in the wild so that they could abandon the cage for good. Trull performed it successfully with several sloths who are now living healthily in the jungle. Their movements are tracked thanks to the collars they wear.
Keeping sloths wild and free is a complicated and expensive process. To make it more effective, Trull co-founded the Sloth Institute in 2014. In addition to the education program and the research into sloths, the institute also cooperates with other institutes to better learn how to prepare orphaned sloths brought to the institute for eventual re-entry into the rainforest. The institute is now going smoothly.
Trull published her new book called Slothlove, where she documented the sloths she had saved via photographs. She explained, “A lot of people don’t know getting hit by cars and getting caught in electric wires are particularly dangerous to sloths. People just think they’re adorable and take selfies with them, unaware that the sloth is stressed and upset.”
【1】What can we learn about Trull shortly after she got to Costa Rica?
A.She helped kids to recover.

【2】Why did Trull and her team build the cage for the sloths?
A.To limit their movements.

A.It is now open to tourists.
B.It will mainly educate the public.

During World War II, she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks.

She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.

24、Global fast-food giant McDonald’s announced it would be phasing out (逐步淘汰) plastic straws (吸管) in China. The move is expected to reduce plastic waste by about 400 tons a year. According to the announcement, from June 30, nearly 1,000 stores in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen began to phase out plastic straws for both dine-in and take-out, expanding to all stores in China by the end of 2020. Diners would drink cold beverages directly through the new cup cover.
Zhang Jiayin, CEO of McDonald’s China, expressed that McDonald’s is devoted to building up an environmentally friendly “beautiful China”. “We believe that taking advantage of McDonald’s influence worldwide, reducing straws can be a huge step for sustainable development. In the past decade or so, we have continued to carry out the green packaging action.” Zhang said, “This movement is playing a positive role in the protection of the ecological environment.”
The move is in keeping with China’s national plan to phase out single-use plastics which came into effect in January of this year, in an effort to combat its growing trash problem.
Among other things, the government carries out a nationwide ban on plastic straws, disposable cutlery (一次性餐具), as well as plastic bags in major cities by the end of 2020, and nationwide by 2022.
