When David Carter started to study art at The University of Texas（UT）at Austin in 1971，he had big dreams of becoming an artist or a writer.But his study came to a stop at 23 after he hurt his hand in an unpleasant event.He developed schizophrenia（精神分裂癥）later and spent many years without a home.
Carter liked to spend time around UT，because he dreamt of being able to continue his study in the university and becoming a writer.After running into Carter many times，UT student Ryan Chandler decided to interview him for a project for the Daily Texan，the student newspaper of UT.
"I interviewed him on Austin's homeless problems.After I heard his story，we kept in touch and really became friends.I learned he wanted to get back to UT，so I decided to help him，" said Chandler. "He had got 87 hours，very close to a degree.Now，with changing degree requirements，he only has 64 hours to go."
With the help of Chandler，who worked with the university office，Carter was assigned an adviser by UT's College of Fine Arts. "It' s the greatest gift I've ever received，" Carter said. "He did what had to be done to get me back to school，and I couldn't have done it without him"
After seeing a magazine article about Carter，a UT schoolmate decided to pay his tuition fees（學(xué)費(fèi)）without telling Chandler his name.
Doug Dempster，dean of the College of Fine Arts，said in a statement，"David Carter's decision to complete his degree is a testament（證明）to finishing well what was started，and stopped，even many years earlier.We welcome him back as we do many students each year whose education could not be completed easily.We're going to help him through his remaining course work."

2．Most glitter，which is made up of tiny pieces of plastic，is a huge danger to the environment. "Everyone talks about the mountain of plastic floating in the ocean.You can grab empty bottles from the water，but with tiny pieces it's impossible，" says Victor Alvarez，a chemical engineer who sell an eco-friendly alternative to glitter.
In the early 2000s，Alvarez worked for Mercedes-Benz in Germany，where he became fond of any technology that protected the environment.A few years after leaving Mercedes-Benz，he founded Blue Sun International in Miami，which makes specialty ingredients for the skin and haircare industries.
Glitter is a popular ingredient in cosmetics，such as eye shadows and lipsticks.So Alvarez began researching an alternative that didn't contain plastic to make his products safer for the environment.That's when he came across Ronald Britton Ltd.，a company which had developed a plastic-free，biodegradable product called Biogljye.aiter.It is made from regenerative cellulose（纖維素）sourced from hardwoods，primarily eucalyptus.Alvarez worked with the company to become the first retailer to sell Bioglitter in America.In 2018，he formed Today Glitter in order to sell the biodegradable glitter directly to consumers through its website.
Today Glitter sells two kinds of biodegradable glitter-Bioglitter Sparkle and Bioglitter Pure.Both are almost plastic-free and can biodegrade in a short time.Meanwhile，they are as shiny as regular glitter.All these products are third-party tested by TUV，an international organization that provides testing and certification for compostable and biodegradable products.
Despite its benefits，the hardwoods needed to make biodegradable glitter cause it to cost about twice as much as conventional glitter.A small glass container that contains just 6 grams of Bioglitter costs ＄10，while the same amount of regular glitter could cost at least half that amount.Alvarez expects the price will come down over time.He also expects the company's sales to cross ＄1 million next year.But more importantly，Alvarez says，his main goal is to effect a meaningful change.
（1）While at Mercedes-Benz，Alvarez.
A．developed a way to grab glitter in the sea

A．It is an ideal ingredient for eye shadows.
B．It was invented by Blue Sun International.
C．It is very difficult to break down in the wild.
D．It will soon be on sale in the American market.
（3）Why does the author mention TUV in the text？
A．To show Bioglitter Sparkle and Bioglitter Pure are popular.
B．To stress it provides a broad range of testing services.
C．To prove Today Glitter's products are eco-friendly.
D．To explain many plastic products are low-quality.
