When Veronika Scott was a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit.Michigan，she received a task to "design to fill a need." She dreamed up an idea for overcoats that would double as sleeping bags，made 25 of them，and handed them out to people living in shelters on an abandoned city playground.While her efforts were greeted mostly with enthusiasm from those braving Detroit's cold winters，one woman voiced dissatisfaction. "We don't need coats；we need jobs." she told Veronika.Then she had her second inspiration.
After graduating from college in 2012，Veronika founded the Empowerment Plan，a nonprofit organization.She hired two homeless women to sew the coats and paid them with donations she received through her blog.Now，the Empowerment Plan employs about 20 people and has produced more than 10，000 coats and distributed them in 30 states，Canada，and elsewhere abroad.
"We don't require previous employment，" Veronika says. "We're looking for people who are motivated." The Empowerment Plan provides free classes and lends money to those who qualify.Nearly all the employees eventually move into permanent housing，and some get jobs in the auto industry and construction.
Veronika has bettered the coat's design by making its outer layer of a lightweight material that resists air，wind，and water and its inner layer of a material that stores body heat.Still，Veronika is less focused on the coats than on the workers who make them. "At the end of the day，" she says，"the coat is a vehicle for us to employ people."

2．Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students，free periods （課、節(jié)） are useless.From what I have seen，few do homework. （1）
.This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any.As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
（2）.Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one.We will experiment in different fields of study.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art.One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窯）. （3）.Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.However，the class was one of my favorites that year.I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
（4）!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point.By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take.So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. （5）.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead，many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future發(fā)布：2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷：7引用：5難度：0.5 -
