By March, the number f the vlunteers in the team had reached 108. Their wrk has als included buying things, prviding spiritual cmfrt, helping dealing with health prblems and ther duties.
The vlunteers are nt all yungsters. Fan Fawen, a retired train driver, jined t supprt the vlunteer team last year. He ften helps t repair smething in elderly peple’s hmes and buys them fruit and vegetables, as well as carrying heavy stuff, like rice bags, upstairs.

Many peple may thrw away the pits inside fruits after eating them, but inheritrs f nut carving（核雕继承人）have turned them int artwrks instead.
Weifang nut carving ges back t the Qing Dynasty. During that time, an ld imperial craftsman（皇家手艺人）Wang Dayan spread the skill t the lcal peple in Shandng Prvince. Craftsmen back then ften used peach pits（桃核）t shw ff their artistic skills. Because f the high level f carving skills needed, the traditinal culture and its rich artistic theme, Weifang nut carving was listed as a natinal intangible cultural heritage（国家非物质文化遗产）in 2008.
“One nut, frm 0.8 t 6 centimeters lng, can be made int fan pendants, earrings, buttns, seals and s n,” said Tan Wanhai, 48, an inheritr f Weifang nut carving. Tan has studied the art f nut carving fr 25 years and has created many nut carvings.
Hwever, the craftsman als said that bringing this kind f artwrk t life is nt easy. “Unlike sme pits like live pits which have a flat surface, each peach pit has its wn special texture（质地）like human fingerprints,” Tan said, adding that, craftsmen have t study each peach pit t carefully plan ut their artwrk.
Nut carving craftsmen als need t have knwledge in many areas. Accrding t Tan, they have t master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy frm many traditinal cultures.
Thanks t their creative design and fresh ideas, Weifang nut carving artwrks have been increasingly welcmed by peple in China. Mre peple are learning the art and have even becme inheritrs t pass dwn the skill t yung peple.
“Nw, the number f inheritrs is abut 1,000. But I believe it culd be bigger. Mre craftsmen nw give up the traditin f passing dwn the skill nly thrugh the family and pen it up t anyne wh is interested in learning the skill,” said Tan.

A recrd f 1,101 manatees（海牛）died in Flrida last year, many frm hunger. S last December, gvernment wildlife experts thught up a plan t give fd t the manatees. They decided t feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Rn Mezich, an expert, said, “We’re making a difference.” S far, they have served up mre than, 193,000 punds f lettuce t hungry manatees. But as the weather is getting warm, the prgram is expected t end sn.
Manatees are huge sea animals that nly eat sea grass and ther plants that live in the sea. That’s ne reasn why they’re smetimes called “sea cws”.

The algae blcks the sunlight that allws the sea grass t grw. Fr example, in Indian River Lagn, where manatees ften g in the winter, abut 90% f the sea grass beds there have died ff. Lng term, Flrida will wrk t help restre（恢复）sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still wrry that hundreds mre manatees culd starve this winter.

B. grwth f algae→sea pllutin→death f sea grass→death f manatees
C. sea pllutin→death f sea grass→grwth f algae→death f manatees
D. grwth f algae→death f sea grass→sea pllutin→death f manatees
