Veronika，now 26，found an expert to teach two homeless women to sew and hired them to assemble the coats.She paid them with donations she received through her blog.At first，the coats were constructed in a small homeless shelter's utility closet.After graduating from college in 2012，she founded the Empowerment Plan，a non-profit organization.Clothing producer Carhartt donated several old industrial sewing machines and so on.GM and other companies chipped in operating funds and insulating materials. The group employs about 20 people — mostly single mothers，some of whom have served time — and pays them more than Michigan's minimum wage.“We don't require a GED (General Educational Development) or even previous employment，” Veronika says.“Instead，we're looking for people who are motivated.” The Empowerment Plan provides free education and offers micro-loans to those who qualify.Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing，and some go on to well-paid jobs. To date，the Empowerment Plan has produced more than 10，000 coats and distributed them home and abroad.“Still，we less focus on coats than on the workers who make them，” Veronika says.“At the end of the day，the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people.” 语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位美国女性Veronika Scott在大学读书时收到了“为满足需求而设计”的作业，因此她设计了御寒保暖的外套来帮助避难所的人，并成立公益组织为他们提供工作机会。 4．What inspired Veronika to truly design to fill a need?

Get outdoors and glean (拾落穗)! Picking fresh，healthy produce that is donated to food banks is a win-win activity. 1 Gleaning is not a new concept.In 18th-century England，there was a law that provided unharvested crops should be given away to the poor.These days，there is a lot of produce that sits in the fields after harvest. 2 They will usually plant too much or will leave the produce that looks imperfect.Unfortunately，much of this produce would go unused in the field. Gleaning offers farm-fresh，healthy food for people concerned about food security.That is where gleaners come in.Gleaning addresses farm waste and food poverty by providing free healthy food straight from farm to table.And today，with a cost of living crisis，there are more hungry people. 3 In 2017，there were five gleaning groups in the UK，while today there are 25. Holly，head of the Cornwall Gleaning Group，said that her volunteers send around 300 boxes a week to food banks and community kitchens in her area. 4 “Any time I go gleaning，I am lifted up.For the volunteers，it's so good for mental health，getting outside and doing something practical that's good for the planet，” Holly said. 5 To make this happen，more groups need to be established with farmers and more people need to volunteer their time to help.This form of helping may soon become common.It is rewarding for volunteers who harvest in the fields and it also offers fresh and nutritious food to those who need it the most. A．They find the work very delightful. B．Luckily，interest in gleaning is growing. C．Hopes are that awareness will continue to grow. D．And it is also gaining popularity across the globe. E．To assist the hungry people，more crops will be grown. F．This is due to overproduction on the part of the farmers. G．From farm to table，gleaning is often a worthless experience. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是拾落穗这个志愿者活动。 1．答案：D 解析：根据“Get outdoors and glean (拾落穗)!
