19、nt shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize (消毒) the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.It takes about four hours to sew a

20、 sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether theyre single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News. Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more

21、 than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags.

27、characters on the streets. A new trend is taking hold in China guochao, or “China-chic”.The term characterizes the rise of Chinas native fashion trends. It has expanded the concept of “Made in China” which has been recognized as the representation of Chinese culture and aesthetics (美学) offered by ho

28、megrown Chinese brands.China-chic came into the spotlight in 2018. Before that, big-name foreign companies, such as NIKE, ADIDAS and PUMA, dominated the world market. But that year, Chinese sportswear brand Li-Ning changed things up. During the 2018 New York Fashion Week, Li-Ning introduced its Taoi

29、sm-inspired Wu Dao collection. The collection not only had a trendy look, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It immediately grabbed attention at home and abroad.

You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if youre not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by

37、smartphone addiction. For some people, smartphones have liberated them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy(自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others though, smartphones have become tyrants (暴

The app enables users

39、to see how much time theyre spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moments goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.” Dr Christine Grant, a

40、n occupational psychologist at Coventry University, said, “The effects of this always on culture are that your mind is never resting, and youre not giving your body time to recover, so youre always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental healt

This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to
