According to Marguerite La Caze, fashion contributes to our lives and provides a medium for us to develop and exhibit important social virtues. Fashion may be beautiful, innovative, and useful; we can display creativity and good taste in our fashion choices. And in dressing with taste and care, we represent both self-respect and a concern for the pleasure of others. There is no doubt that fashion can be a source of interest and pleasure which links us to each other. That is, fashion provides a sociable aspect along with opportunities to imagine oneself differently — to try on different identities.

Researchers are working on a project that asks coastal towns how they are preparing for rising sea levels. Some towns have risk ①assessments; some towns even have a plan. But it's a rare town that is actually ②carrying out a plan. One reason we've failed to act on climate change is the common belief that it is far away in time and space. For decades, climate change was a ③prediction about the future, so scientists talked about it in the future tense. This became a habit — so that even today many scientists still use the future tense, even though we know that a climate crisis is ④ongoing. Scientists also often focus on regions most affected by the crisis, such as Bangladesh or the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which for most Americans are ⑤physically remote.

Humans born without sight are not able to collect visual experiences, so they understand the world aentirely through their other senses. As a result, people with blindness at birth develop an amazing ability to understand the world through the collection of experiences and memories that come from these non-visual senses. The dreams of a person who has been without sight since birth can be just as bvividly as cthat of someone with normal vision. They are unique, however, because their dreams are constructed from the non-visual experiences and memories they have collected. A person with normal vision will dream about a familiar friend dused visual memories of shape, lighting, and colour. But, a blind person will associate the same friend with a unique combination of experiences from their non-visual senses that eacts to represent that friend. In other words, people blind at birth have similar overall dreaming experiences even though they do not dream in pictures.
