Recently actor Adrien Grenier has launched(发动)a campaign to reduce the amount of single-use plastic usage in order to protect and save marine (海洋的)wildlife and the environment. Plastic drinking straws are among many single-use plastic products contributing to the great loss of marine life, but they’re a great place to start because they’re something that are used by millions of Americans who are unaware that they’re so damaging.
Americans use more than 500 million straws daily, which is enough to fill 127 school buses each day and they can’t be recycled. That means plastic straws might end up in oceans, where fish and other marine wildlife mistake the small bits for food and swallow them. After seeing a photo of a beached whale with a belly full of plastic, Grenier felt the inspiration to launch the Lonely Whale Foundation, hoping to inspire and educate others on the challenges faced by marine wildlife.
Along with stopping the use of straws, Grenier hopes to educate consumer on the dangers of other single-use plastic items such as grocery bags and water bottles. While many Americans use these plastic products in their daily life, there are many alternatives that can help protect the environment such as straws made from stainless steel, glass, and even bamboo instead of plastic.
In addition to quitting your straw habit, you can further help the environment by taking the I Choose to Reuse commitment, and stop your use of single-use coffee cups, checkout bags and bottled water. Instead, take advantage of any number of alternative reusable products.
Need another reason to stop drinking from straws? Grenier also says using straws can cause wrinkles!

A. they are marine wildlife’s favorite food
B. they are the most harmful plastic products

Many Chinese institutions of higher education have been attempting to become more globalized by making their websites available in different languages to better communicate with potential foreign students and promote their academic achievements.
In late June, 20 universities gathering at Shanghai International Studies University for a meeting regarding overseas communication said that their websites are available in foreign languages.
For example, the SISU website now is available in 28 languages. The website's multilingual contents include over 7, 000 articles about topics such as Chinese culture,

Tsinghua University in Beijing was among the first universities on the Chinese mainland to open accounts on international social media platforms in 2015. Around 2,000 updates, including pictures, videos and live broadcasts, are made each year on such platforms. The topics are usually related to the institution's major events or student and alumni（校友）activities.
"Updates regarding our master's programs taught in English and those about the school's performance in the latest world university rankings usually enjoy the highest popularity, " says Lin Yuan, deputy director of the global communication office at Tsinghua University.
Xiang Debao, a professor from SISU's School of Journalism and Communication, says that a recent research conducted by his team showed that a university's influence in cyberspace（通讯） has positive relationship with its visibility in the real world.
