I was 16 years old and on a fortnight-long trip to visit a college in Iowa. On the way our

group stopped in Chicago for a day. We were staying in a building on the south side of the

city and were warned not to go out alone.

It wasn’t long, though, before I was feeling bored and decided to go for a short walk. I

was going down a street when I saw some people making a wide circle around a man sitting

on the sidewalk. His clothes were worn and torn and I could smell him from several feet away.

I stopped in my tracks. My mind flashed back and I realized I had seen a homeless person

once before: Me.

It was a summer night in my 11th year when the home I grew up in caught fire in the

middle of the night. I can still remember the fire destroyed everything we owned. Thankfully,

our small town community showered us with love and care. They fed us, brought us clothes,

and within a few days helped us to rent a temporary house. A few months later they helped us

to finance a new home. I could remember feeling loved even after losing so much.

The homeless man sitting in front of me, however, had no one to help him. I could see

the sadness and desperation in his eyes. I only had a few dollars left in my wallet, but I went

to him directly, bent down and handed them to this fellow, talking with him, touching his

hand and wishing him well before I left.

He isn’t the first one to get my help these years. Seeing the joy on their face, I feel more

than happy. I won’t stop and say no to those who are in need. Even though what I can do is

really limited, I believe that the world will change if each of us gives a little.

When most of us think of sand, we immediately think of sunny beaches and summer

holidays. But actually it’s in pretty much everything that surrounds us in our everyday lives.

From the walls of our homes to the glass bottles in our kitchens and even the mobile phones

in our hands. Sand is the second most used resource in the world after water: it accounts for

more than two-thirds of everything that’s being dug out of the ground. But there isn’t a

limitless supply. In fact, a UN report says we might be running out.

According to the report, we use an estimated 15 billion tons of sand every year in the

construction industry alone. That’s enough to build a 20m × 20m wall around the equator

every year. However, sand can take tens of thousands of years to form: the process starts with

rock being eroded(

侵蚀

) in the mountains and ends, eventually, with sand being in river beds

and on the seafloor.

Sand is heavy and difficult to transport, so in developing countries, sand is often mined

from the nearest convenient source, and quite often that means a river bed or beach. But

beaches and rivers are delicately balanced ecosystems and when a large amount of sand is

removed, the balance is upset. The smallest fish, which eat organic matter on the sand in river

beds, from the base of the food chain in a river. If this sand is removed, so is the source of

food for the bottom feeders. All organisms in a food chain share the joys and the sorrows.

The development and testing of self-driving car technology has seen major progress but

engineers are working on other kinds of autonomous vehicles too — including some built for

water.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are leading one such

project. It aims to create boats to transport goods and people along waterways of Amsterdam

and explore how autonomous boats can make life in Amsterdam more streamlined. The Dutch

capital has been called the world’s “most watery city” because of its large network of canals

which affects daily life and industry there; convenience of citizens’ life and levels of

productivity rely on water vehicles greatly.

The engineers centered past efforts on the first autonomous boats designed to transport

small goods. But their latest creation, the Roboat II, can also carry passengers. It measures
