海藻变废为宝
Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on
Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.He watched his
single mother struggle to put food on the table,
and today the memory inspires him to help those
in need..When an invasive(入侵的)seaweed
called sargassum showed up on Mexico's
Caribbean beaches,Omar looked past the matter
of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.
Sargassum is not dangerous,but it has an
unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it
keeps people from entering the water.Mexico
has experienced record-setting amounts of the
seaweed in recent years,and it has made its way
to Florida's beaches as well.Experts say there
could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum
blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023.
With tourism dollars at risk,officials and
locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed,
but only Omar saw its true potential.The
professional gardener organized a beach clean-up
that provided jobs for about 300 local families,
but he knew there was more to do.Since
people's attitude towards the seaweed reminded
him of his own life experiences,he decided to
become an agent(推动者)for change..
When sargassum started arriving,everyone
was complaining."I wanted to make something
good out of something everyone saw as bad,"
Omar explained.
In 2018,Omar found a way to turn
sargassum into building blocks that he calls
Sargablock.He creates these blocks by mixing
40%sargassum with other materials like clay,
then putting them in a block-forming machine
and baking them in the sun for days.The end
result is an organic,sustainable,and ecologically
friendly building material that experts say could

人与自我—内向性格的特
议论文
点、优势以及面临的挑战
It's obvious that our society favors the
outgoing personality,so being introverted
has always been seen as something that
needs to be“fixed”.However,.there is no fault
in being introverted.1
Introverts have hidden powers.
2
While others are busy chatting,introverts observe
things most people are unaware of.Sometimes
we can even read people.While it may seem
introverts are always zoned out,we're actually
analyzing and thinking of creative ideas to one
day share with you.
Introverts also keep the world balanced.In
a world that can't stop talking,the ability to
listen to what each other has to say is an
important virtue that will assist us in building
peaceful relationships of understanding.3
By listening to whatever people pour out,
introverts help maintain the order of the world.
Introverts can self-recharge.Though the
outgoing may gain their energy through mixing in
crowds,introverts are self-recharging
powerhouses.4 Their energy is found
through loneliness.
5 In the noise of chatterboxes,their
voices often get drowned out.There's nothing
more disappointing to an introvert than finally
taking advantage of a moment to speak,only to
be interrupted by the extroverts(外向者).
While extroverts may speak every thought that
comes to mind,an introvert will choose their
thoughts carefully and only speak of the ones
they think their best to share.So next time,all
you have to do is to be willing to listen.
A.Unluckily,introverts are faced with a
big challenge
B.And this is exactly what our introverts
are born with.
C.Introverts have shown the potential to be
great leaders.
D.Extroverted people would have no one to
listen to them.
E.Instead,we should appreciate introverts
for various reasons.
F.They don't need to constantly put themselves
out there to be lively.
G.Just because we introverts don't say
much doesn't always mean we're clueless.
