①Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins，not sure whether the piece of waste in your hand is recyclable （可回收的） or not？To solve this problem，four Hong Kong high school students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort （分类） the waste.The students named the bin Waste Collection Point.
② Connected to a computer，the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of waste it receives and sorts it into plastic，paper，glass，or other kinds.To make sure the bin can sort waste correctly，the team tested every product in the school shop and took at least 500 pictures of each one. "To train the AI，we had to take many photos from different angles （角度），so it has a better rate of accuracy." said one of the students who built the AI system.
③ The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago，when the students were in Grade Ten.At that time，plenty of people from the city crowded into their village.They left behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.

⑤ The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect the environment.Although school ended at 2 pm，the team would continue to work on their invention until 6 or 7 p.m.at school.Even when their school was closed last year，they would still meet and work together online.
⑥ "Our bin is now in its third generation （代）.Before graduation，we hope it can be widely used in the city." The students said， "Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle and protect our environment."

35.【答案】Dear Emily，
I'm sorry to know that you are in such a difficult situation now.
It's understandable that you feel uncomfortable—copying homework and tests is unfair to both of you.Mary may not realize that this hurts her own learning and puts your friendship at risk.I suggest talking to her kindly but honestly.Let her know that you care about her，but you also want her to do her own work.Offer to study together instead，so you can help her understand the material.If she continues to pressure you，it may be necessary to speak with a teacher for guidance.
Remember，a true friend will respect your honesty and want to do what is right.
Yours， Zhang Hua
