Living on an island might sound wonderful． But what if you left for a trip and found you could never return？ What if your home， and even the land it stood on， was gone forever？For people living in the Pacific Islands，this is really possible．
Why？ Climate（气候） change． Climate change is causing the sea to rise． That's bad news for the Pacific Islands． Young people on the islands are even starting to wonder：Will they be the last generation（一代人）？
Not if the islanders have anything to do about it．These people are deeply connected to their homelands． The Pacific Islands are made up of 11 different countries： the Marshall Islands， Fiji， Samoa，and others． But now， those countries are working together． They're joining forces to fight climate change．
Why is climate change such a huge threat to this part of the world？Islands have low elevations（海拔）．So they are among the first places influenced by rising sea levels． That's why countries of the Pacific Islands are working together to do their part．
But these are small countries． When it comes to climate change， can they make a big difference？ They can， because most of the things that people on islands buy are brought by ships．This is very harmful to the environment． After all， ships put out almost 3 percent of the world's carbon emissions（碳排放）．That makes climate change worse．
Pacific Islanders realize the problem． So， in 2019，six countries got together：Fiji，the Marshall Islands， Samoa，Vanuatu， the Solomon Islands， and Tuvalu． They came up with a plan． They agreed to cut carbon emissions from shipping by 40 percent by 2030．And by 2050，they expect zero﹣carbon shipping．
How will they pull this off？ They plan to use some really cool carbon﹣free technologies．They'll make use of solar and wind energy．
Sea levels are rising， but hopes aren't sinking in the Pacific Islands．

Imagine this． There's an apple and a piece of cake on a table． Which one would you like ？The delicious cake or the healthy apple？ A bestseller， Willpower Rediscovering Our Greater Strength ，suggests that willpower（意志力） is the ability to make decisions that are better for us in the long term， rather than in the short term．
Here is a famous experiment in the book：The Marshmallow Test．In 1972，Professor Walter Mischel tested the willpower of 600 four﹣year﹣olds to six﹣year﹣olds．In the experiment，each child was left alone in a room for fifteen minutes with a marshmallow（棉花软糖） on a table in front of them．They were given two choices： they could either eat it or，if they waited fifteen minutes，they'd be given a second one （and then they could eat both）．
So， what did the kids do？ Well， as you can imagine，70% ate the first marshmallow within the fifteen minutes．But the other 30% showed willpower they controlled themselves and waited for the second marshmallow．But then Mischel discovered something really interesting． Twenty years later， he got in touch with the children， who， by then，were in their early twenties．And he found that those who'd shown strong willpower were getting better marks at university and were more popular．
Willpower is like a muscle（肌肉），and the more you exercise it， the stronger it gets．So，if you do daily "self﹣control exercises"，such as making your bed or brushing your teeth，you'll improve your overall willpower． And daily willpower exercises will help you with those bigger goals， such as studying for an exam or training for a marathon．
Be careful though． Just like any muscle， your "willpower muscle" can get tired．If you've had to do lots of things that require willpower， take a break or give yourself a treat．
That way，you'll build up your willpower again．
And one last thing， the writer mentions people who learn foreign languages usually have a lot of willpower． So， congratulations!

Seven years ago，Joyce Akinpe moved to Australia to start a new life，finding an exciting job in Sydney．After the outbreak（爆发）of COVID﹣19，she suddenly lost her job．
Seeing that there were many others like herself in trouble from the outbreak，Akinpe and her two roommates， Michelle Gomez and Maureen Lee，brainstormed ideas for how to help their local community．They came up with a street pantry（储藏柜）．Gomez said the idea was very simple，"Take what you need and leave what you can．"
With the help of Gomez's father， they built the Blessing Box﹣a street pantry，with shelves and hanging baskets and two doors made from old furniture．
It sits just at the back of the three girls' home ，so they can look after it．They put some information notices into their neighbors' mailboxes，and the Blessing Box was quickly filled with the donations （捐赠）from the community．"It is the community's strong support that keeps the project alive，"Akinpe said．
"We now have hundreds of people visiting our box every day．It might only take two hours for the box to be full and next hour it might become empty again．We are now helping others to carry out similar projects in their own communities， too，"Gomez said．
Lee said things in the box were mostly convenience foods，as well as some necessary life things such as spaghetti and toilet paper．"Few people take everything at once．They think there are other people who need them more．"Lee added．
