题目内容
There’s been a lot of talk about white-and-blue collar workers, and you may have even heard of gold collar workers, but lately a new color of collar is making its way into China’s urban vernacular(土话)—green. Green collars say no when work is life and life is work. They choose to get out of the fast lane(车道), and explore new ways of living “green”.
Living green doesn’t mean someone is working as an environmentalist, biologist or scientist. Instead it is more of a lifestyle choice. A typical green collar is well educated like a white-collar but physically tough like a blue-collar, likely born in the 70s or 80s of the last century and living in one of China’s big cities, with a monthly income well above 5,000 yuan (about US $700).
The life of a green collar may go something like this; Turn off the mobile phone after work, eat only healthy food rich in vitamins, go on hikes every weekend, and like to help the underprivileged.
Green collars even have their own club. In Beijing, the Green Collar Club is for people who share a “be happy, healthy and helpful” spirit. The club often holds charity parties and uses the donations for environmental protection and poverty relief(摆脱贫困)projects in China.
“They are successful in their careers, but do not miss the pleasures in life. They have a lot of money, but do not fall slave to it.” said Zuo Shiguang, one of the founding members of the club.

A camp built by students and volunteers spreads over Southern Methodist University(SMU). The affordable 21 are designed to be used by the poor as well as survivors of war and natural disasters.
“By the time 2020, there’s going to be about 1.7 billion people living in slums(贫民窟) so we would like to 22 change,” says Stephanie Hunt, co-founder of the Hunt Institute for Engineering and Humanities at SMU. The institute, which 23 build the village on SMU’s campus, was established to solve problem of the poor in the United States and around the world through engineering, and the free 24 .
The goal is not just to 25 lives, but to change the victims’ lives. The Institute hopes some entrepreneurs(企业家) might program and 26 some money with these ideas. One of the structures in the SMU village was built with bricks made 27 from recycled plastic bags.
They’re 28 together with heavy wires. Harvey Lacey, father of two college-aged sons, including one here at SUM, heard about this project and 29 his invention. It’s a heavy-duty, hand-crank compactor(手动压缩机)that anybody can use to form the big bricks he calls Ubuntu Blox.
“The advantages are that these 30 weigh less than two pounds. They’re very, very 31 These things can go for many generations of housing, ”says Lacey, who is 32 the design. Anybody can follow his online plans to 33 the compactor that turns plastic bags into bricks.
On this warm day, it’s 34 inside the Ubuntu Blox hut, thanks 35 to the thick plastic insulation(绝缘). Kenyan 36 Ronald Omyonga, visiting the global village before returning to his native Africa, says his country is full of these recyclable bags. With Lacey’s design, he says that litter could be transformed into 37 housing. He dreams of other 38 too.
“Look at the Harvey Lacey hut, as a means of creating 39 ,”says Omyonga.“Leaning the environment, and turning 40 into something that can form houses, not just for the poor.”

Once Dr.Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases with his students.The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical ^problems.His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live.
Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient.He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt.The patient smiled and said everything was all right.Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat.The patient said that he had no desire to eat.
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing.
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no.
The doctor put his hand on the man’s shoulder and his voice was very soft.
"If; you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said.
The change in the patient’s appearance couldn’t have been more obvious.Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and! had also been received.
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn’t getting food he could eat.One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals."
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn’t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said.
"Very well," the doctor said."You might want to try the same method in the kitchen.It won’t be-easy, but I can help you.Meanwhile, let’s get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it.Or he’ll be killed by hunger.By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish.If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him."
Three weeks later.Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power.It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable.
