Throughout high school, I failed to volunteer as much as I had wanted. As a college student, I am still busy with maintaining my grades and staying involved in my school’s community, but I decided to get out of my comfort one and volunteer for America Recycles Day. And this turned out to be an awesome eperience.
The organiation Ouachita Green put together this event, which allowed people from the Monroe area of Louisiana to bring in their recyclables, free of charge. Unfortunately, Louisiana is lacing in environmentally-friendly initiatives(倡议) so recycling is not offered to most people in our community. In contrast, it is required by law to recycle bac in my home New Jersey. This truth astonished me, but more importantly, it encouraged me to see change.
I meant to mae a difference. Through joint efforts, my classmates and I ended up starting the Green Club at the University of Louisiana. It focuses on creating a green attitude within the university and the greater Monroe area. While woring on it, I met a group of ambitious high school students, who shared the same concern about the environment as us. While taling, we decided that woring together would benefit not only the organiations at our schools, but also the community as a whole. Is we let the community now we are serious, there is an even better chance that we will succeed and influence others.
If you are hesitant to volunteer or help out with an event in your community, my recommendation is to go ahead and do it. Even if it may be out of your comfort one, it is important to put yourself out there. At the end of the day, you miss all of the shots you don’t tae. 4.What surprised the author greatly?

Competition in the worplace can be a good thing for a number of different reasons. On the other hand, competition can also have some disadvantages, though. Some industries tend to be more competitive in the worplace than others. For instance, those in the sales field will typically be more competitive with co-worers than individuals in other fields, such as information technology. Nevertheless, a little competition in even the least competitive industries can be positive.
Competition in the worplace can create an environment where employees push each other to eceed their normal limits, which can result in increased production, both at an individual level and among the entire worforce as a whole. As individual production numbers increase, so do those of the entire team of worers who see to outdo one another. Competition can be rewarded with bonuses or various types of rewards.
Worplace competition can also inspire a commitment to self-improvement. While financial motivations and bonuses are always a plus to get the competition going, those who see the bigger picture may tae the competition as an opportunity to better themselves in the process of winning the competition. Self-improvement may include actions lie changing wor habits to be more organied, using visualiation and goal setting to achieve goals and simply performing higher quality wor.
Not all competition in the worplace necessarily has to tae place at the individual level. Competition can bring about a sense of teamwor in the worplace when worers are placed in groups and ased to compete with one another, which can have a number of positive results that come from worers cooperating with each other. For eample, worers can learn the value of communication and helping someone else, both of which have an influence on other areas of wor lie customer service. 8.What does the underlined word “eceed” in Paragraph 2 mean?

Artificial intelligence, or AI, has slowly begun to influence higher education around the world. Now, one new AI tool could change the way university students evaluate their professor. The tool is called Hubert, a teacher evaluation tool that appears as an AI-powered chatbot. Instead of filling out a form, students use a chat window to give feedbac(反馈) on the course and their professor. Afterwards, Hubert categories the students’ comments for the professor to review.
Hubert is free for educators to use. More than 600 teachers have used it already. The goal of the new Vitor Nordmar, from Sweden, started the company in 2015, with several friends. Before creating Hubert program is to improve education by giving teachers detailed, organied feedbac from students. Hubert, the founders ased teachers what would improve their teaching sills. The answer, Nordmar said, was qualitative(定性的) feedbac from their students. In other words, teachers wanted students to write detailed answers to open-ended questions about their eperiences in class.
Qualitative feedbac is different from the survey responses, which students are often ased to provide at the end of a class. “This ind of data taes a lot of time for professors to collect and analye,” Nordmar said. And for the students, it can also be “really boring to fill out.” So Nordmar and his friends designed Hubert as a compromise between a traditional survey and a personal interview. “You can reach a really large crowd, but you can also get really qualitative data bac,” Nordmar said.
Now, when Hubert receives comments from students, it compares them with the information already in its system to organie the data. Nordmar says that Hubert will continue to get smarter as it receives more comments in the future. Nordmar says he and his co-founders have plans to mae Hubert more fleible and accurate. They hope to give teachers the possibility of selecting their own evaluation questions. 12.What can be inferred about traditional teacher evaluation?
