Become a Volunteer and Make a Difference

The First Tee, as an outstanding youth development organization, is always searching for good people that

want to volunteer at one of our many Pittsburgh area locations.

We’

re Looking for You!

Nationwide, we currently have more than 3,700 coaches signed up with The First Tee as well as volunteers.

But you don’t have to be a golf professional or even a good golfer.

With The First Tee Coach Program, we

provide the training you need.

Developed with input from leading experts in the field of positive youth development, our program focuses

on making participants stronger and more confident through decision-making and exploring options, inspiring

the golfers of tomorrow to look to the future, set goals, and unlock their potential.

We also need more volunteers to make The First Tee possible. Opportunities include:

Assistant Coach:

assist in our weekly golf clinics. All that we request is that you make a 7-week

commitment (one day per week), for 2 hours each week. Each clinic is led by one of our trained staff members

who creates a written lesson plan for our volunteers to follow.

Database Manager:

input data entry of participants, volunteers, and community relation records and

update chapter information for Home Office and community relations. The database manager is expected to

update the data a minimum of every other week.

Equipment Manager:

organize and sort donated equipment, get rid of unfit equipment, and arrange

equipment for distribution to participants at least once a week.

Greeter:

register participants, hand information to parents, greet visitors, answer phone and provide general

program information.

Most heroes

are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what

they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.

Bike Batman is a 30-year-

old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also

buys and sells bikes as a hobby.

About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where

people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows

users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken

. The bike, which he was considering purchasing,

clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index

. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner

and arranged to meet him

—

supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief,

“You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just

get out of here

.” You can

imagine what the thief did.

After

that

first

success,

Bike

Batman

developed

a

safer

routine.

When

he

sees

questionable

bike

ads

on

Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the

owner,

he

arranges

a

meet-up

with

the

thief

and

will

call

the

Seattle

police

department

so

that

officers

can

participate

in

the

action.

In

more

than

half

of

the

22

cases

in

which

he

has

got

back

and

returned

bikes,

the

thieves

have

been

arrested.

In

one

case,

Bike

Batman

even

helped

a

family

recover

a

wide

range

of

prized

possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.

His

nickname

came

from

a

discussion

with

a

police

officer

who

suggested

he

be

called

“Robin

Hood”.

Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit.

The idea of a

superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up

Seattle’

s reputation as a friendly city.

39. Bike Batman is _____.

A. a superhero

B. a website manager

C. a Seattle citizen

D. a police officer

40. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _____.

’

s information

D. the thieves refused to return the bikes

The

online

takeaway

industry

is

growing

in

China

along

with

the

rapid

development

of

the

Internet

economy. But environmental activists complain that the huge volume of

plastic utensils (

用具

), wrapping and

containers

presents

a

great

challenge

to

the

environment,

and

that

the

heavy

use

of

throwaway

wooden

chopsticks is reducing natural resources.

On September 1, the Beijing No.4 Intermediate People’s Court accepted a lawsu

it filed by the Chongqing

Green

Volunteer

League,

an

environmental

non-

government

organization

(NGO),

against

the

country’s

three

largest food delivery platforms

—

Baidu Waimai, and Meituan. The NGO stated that the companies failed

to provide customers with the choice to not receive throwaway plastic utensils along with their food deliveries.

Meanwhile, these utensils have created large amounts of rubbish and caused serious ecological damage.

In

response,

both

Meituan

and

,

which

acquired

Baidu

Waimai

in

August,

have

promised

to

take

measures

to

reduce

plastic

waste.

Meituan

announced

that

it

would

appoint

a

chief

environmental

officer

to

oversee environmental issues from plastic waste and upgrade its smartphone app to provide consumers with the

option of ordering food without single-use chopsticks, spoons or napkins. followed by offering a similar

choice and putting forward a plan to introduce suppliers of degradable (

可降解的

) plastic utensils to restaurants

in the long term.

Is

there

a

possible

way

out?

Combined

efforts

by

delivery

platforms,

consumers,

restaurants

and

government departments are required to address plastic waste pollution.

For platforms, promoting environmental protection and introducing this idea to consumers are a meaningful

move. Moreover, in the future, they should also make strict rules on the use of plastic utensils. For example, no

more than one plastic bag should be used to wrap soup dishes, and all plastic products should be degradable. It is

a long and difficult task for them, and the recent reactions from and Meituan are just beginnings.

Considering most takeout food packaging is thrown into garbage bins and then taken away along with other

household garbage, sorting of waste also becomes more important. Government departments could play a major

role in this, and by recycling some materials, waste pollution could be reduced and resources saved. Furthermore,

there

have

been

growing

calls

that

the

government

should

also

invest

more

in

developing

degradable

plastic

products or environmentally friendly alternatives.

Though consumers enjoy the convenience yet also suffer exposure to the pollution, many of them have paid

little attention to the plastic waste problem. Environmental groups suggest that consumers change their habits a

little by using their own utensils and dishes and refusing unnecessary plastic containers.

43. The Chongqing Green V

olunteer League accused the three food delivery platforms of _____.

A

. causing damage to people’

s health

B. violating environmental standards

C. using many wooden chopsticks

D. offering no utensil option

44. The author suggests food delivery platforms _____.

A. Raise

people’s awareness

.

B. Research possible alternatives.

C. Upgrade their application design.

D. Hire a chief environmental officer.

45. Who probably plays a more important role in promoting the categorization of rubbish?

A. government departments

B. food delivery platforms

C. environmental groups

D. fast food restaurants

46. The passage is mainly concerned with _____.

A. why environmental problems arise

B. who food delivery platforms affect most

C. how plastic utensil pollution can be solved

D. what efforts environmental groups have made

D

Ownership used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque. If you bought something, you owned it.

If it broke, you fixed it. If you no longer wanted it, you sold it or threw it away.

In the digital age, however,

ownership has become more slippery. Since the coming of smartphones, consumers have been forced to accept

that

they

do

not

control

the

software

in

their

devices;

they

are

only

licensed

to

use

it.

As

a

digital

chain

is

wrapped ever more tightly around more devices, such as cars and thermostats, who owns and who controls which

objects is becoming a problem. Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under

threat.

The

trend

is

not

always

harmful.

Manufacturers

seeking

to

restrict

what

owners

do

with

increasingly

complex technology have good reasons to protect their copyright, ensure that their machines do not break down,

support environmental standards and prevent hacking. Sometimes companies use their control over a product’s

software

for

the

owners’

benefit.

When

Hurricane

Irma

hit

Florida

this

month,

Tesla

remotely

updated

the

software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.

But the more digital strings are attached to goods, the more the balance of control leans towards producers

and away from owners. That can be inconvenient. Picking a car is hard enough, but harder still if you have to dig

up the instructions that tell you how use is limited and what data you must give. If the products are intentionally

designed not to last long, it can also be expensive. Already, items from smartphones to washing machines have

become extremely hard to fix, meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired.
