At the time, any Jew who was considered healthy was forced to work in a labor camp, __(2)__ those that were unhealthy were sent to concentration camps to die. For Jews that carried out “essential work,” however, their lives were spared, which was exactly how Schindler saved their lives. Schindler was a smart businessman and __(3)__ German officers that his Jewish workers were making bullets for the German army—work that was no doubt “essential.” However, if the German officers __(4)__ a closer look, they would have found that all of Schindler’s bullets were useless.

6. WWII was a period in history that many of us would rather forget. __(1)__, for the 400,000 Jews living in the Warsaw Ghetto, it was a matter of life and death. The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the Nazis in 1940, __(2)__ as the largest ghetto during WWII. It was not only crowded but also dirty and lacked electricity. Moreover, there wasn’t enough food for everyone. Stealing was not allowed, and the Germans often used extreme measures against the Jews, including public and private __(3)__ if caught. As a result, some died of hunger, __(4)__ others suffered from disease. However, __(5)__, the story of the Warsaw Ghetto serves as one great inspiration. Some brave people, including Irena Sendler, helped to save over 2,000 children there by hiding them in suitcases or sacks and then giving them new birth certificates* to start over. Although history is ugly, the bravery of some good people is beautiful.

containing where, when, and by whom they had been informed of her actions. The officers demanded the names of her colleagues and their addresses; however, Irena refused __(2)__ any information. Even __(3)__ with a death sentence, she still didn’t give in. However, little did she know that her colleagues had already bribed* the German executioner responsible for carrying out her death sentence, and that man would __(4)__ to help her escape. Irena was released on the way to her execution in February 1944. She could finally __(5)__ and continue to work to save Jewish children while living in hiding.

How did a single woman __(2)__ such a difficult task? Well, she employed the help of friends and colleagues. They would often sneak the children out in suitcases or even under ambulance stretchers with dogs barking to __(3)__ their cries. Sometimes, the children were taken out through sewer pipes or
secret underground passages. Still others escaped through an old courthouse that stood at the edge of the ghetto. __(4)__ to help, Sendler did whatever she could to give the children the opportunity to survive, even providing them with new birth certificates* and family records once they were out. She put her own life __(5)__ to save the children. If caught, she would certainly have been executed. To this day, she is an inspiration to many for her selfless acts of bravery.

9. Many of us have heard of Schindler’s List, but did you know there was also a “Sendler’s list”? Although she received Yad Vashem’s Righteous Among the Nations award in 1965 for her __(1)__, unlike Schindler, Irena Sendler’s story has remained largely unknown. However, in 1999, __(2)__ to discover the truth, three high school girls in Kansas dug up her story and made it known to the world. It was their teacher, Norm Conrad, who __(3)__ them a 1994 U.S. News and World Report article about “The Other Schindlers.” He encouraged the girls to do further research. Later, to their surprise, they found that Sendler was still alive. They also found out about Sendler’s lists in jars buried during the war—her way of __(4)__ the
surviving children’s names and their parents’ names. __(5)__ WWII, Sendler helped over 2,000 Jewish children escape. Eventually, the Kansas girls combined all of the details of Sendler’s amazing acts in a play called Life in a Jar. What a beautiful tribute to this woman’s beautiful acts of courage!

She also ended up __(3)__ Poland’s Order of the White Eagle. In her old age, she was cared for by one of the children that she had __(4)__, Elzbieta Ficowska. She __(5)__ all the Jews she had saved, with around 400 Jews smuggled by herself. __(6)__ on her actions, she claimed, “We who were rescuing children are not some kind of heroes.” She refused __(7)__ the term “hero.” She said, “The opposite is true─I continue to have qualms of conscience that I did so little. I could have done more. This regret will follow me to my death.” Although she had already done so much, she felt she __(8)__ more children if she had tried just a bit harder. __(9)__, the world had just begun to know of her bravery before she

1. The Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association is a boxed-lunch delivery service in Mumbai, India. The __(1)__ delivers around 200,000 home-cooked meals straight to workers daily. Its success comes from the employees, known as dabbawalas, or “one __(2)__ carries a box.” With most residents commuting long distances from the __(3)__, this service saves them from carrying lunch boxes in cramped public transport. Also, workers receive healthy, home-made meals __(4)__ to the office.
The dabbawalas delivery system works very well. Each geographical area is assigned to twenty-five dabbawalas. Each person then collects about thirty tiffin boxes. The boxes are marked __(5)__ special characters and colors to reflect specific delivery details such as neighborhood, building, floor, and train station of origin. Not until the boxes have been sorted according to destination __(6)__ onto the trains. When they’ve reached their destination train station, the boxes get divided again __(7)__ more specific locations. Finally, the boxes are delivered to their owners. The entire process ensures delivery is __(8)__ and accurate. Mistakes are one __(9)__ sixteen million. In the afternoon, the dabbawalas follow the same route to collect and __(10)__ the lunchboxes. This delivery system is a true model of brilliance.

However, in this case, only bicycles and colored pens are __(2)__ used! It is all done by the Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association, a lunchbox delivery organization __(3)__ in Mumbai, India. The key to its success is greatly due to its employees, known as dabbawalas. A dabbawala, or “one __(4)__ carries a box,” is responsible for picking up lunchboxes from customers’ homes and delivering them to their workplaces as part of a well-organized scheme. Each lunchbox is categorized according to area for delivery and then more specifically by neighborhood, building, and floor to ensure that it is delivered and later brought __(5)__ to its correct place.

all the lunchboxes have been brought back to their owners’ homes __(4)__. Since Mumbai is a crowded city, it is not convenient for most workers to bring their lunches __(5)__ them on trains. Therefore, the dabbawala service is helpful to them and at the same time, meaningful to us.

5. What does the future of dabbawalas in Mumbai look like? With the rise of new
technology and food delivery apps like Uber Eats, one may question whether the dabbawala can __(1)__ survive in modern-day society. Moreover, the introduction of other food-delivery __(2)__ like Runnr and Swiggy has begun to crowd the industry. However, despite the
competition __(3)__ from modern-day technology, the number of dabbawalas working in Mumbai has been growing by 5 to 10% every year, and this growth does not appear to be slowing. The facts show that most people __(4)__ live in Mumbai still prefer to eat meals cooked in their own homes. Furthermore, the tactic that dabbawalas use bicycles, trains, and their own two feet to deliver food can better guarantee on-time delivery than systems relying on scooters or cars which might be caught in traffic.

6. Working as a dabbawala in Mumbai is an exhausting job, but somebody’s got to do it! However, rest assured that—all that hard work doesn’t come without its reward. Although the service fee for users is low (five to eight hundred rupees a month, __(1)__ the distance
covered), the dabbawalas receive a decent monthly salary of eight to twelve thousand rupees. Considering that one __(2)__ six people in India is currently looking for work, that is not bad pay for labor which is not highly skilled. Furthermore, the dabbawalas, most of __(3)__ don’t have any formal education, enjoy relatively high social status for the valuable contribution to society. For example, people who come into contact with dabbawalas on the street often give way to them. __(4)__, feeding the city is respectable work, and dabbawalas’ recognition is proof of that. So, __(5)__ all these benefits, it’s no wonder why many people seek to become dabbawalas.

7. Have you heard of the dabbawala sorting system in Mumbai? It is famous throughout the world, having been studied by institutions __(1)__ Harvard and FedEx for its efficiency. The dabbawalas’ organization, Nutan Mumbai Tiffin Box Suppliers Association, is a __(2)__ of five thousand lunchbox delivery workers. Amazingly, __(3)__ all these workers, 85% can barely read or write! Therefore, the boxes are marked using a system of color-coded letters and numbers. This system shows the original point where the lunchbox was collected and to which it must therefore be __(4)__. Furthermore, these codes indicate the train station that the lunchbox must depart from, the destination station where it must be taken off the train, and then finally the exact delivery address, including the building number and floor. This complex system would likely not make any sense to average people, but a senior dabbawala can
understand it easily. __(5)__ such a simplified and streamlined* coding scheme, the
dabbawalas are able to get all the lunchboxes delivered to the correct destinations on time. It’s no wonder this sorting system has been studied by so many people!

8. How did the dabbawalas in Mumbai get started? Their appearance was due __(1)__ to a dockworker by the name of Mahadeo Havaji Bachche. During the time of the British Raj in the late nineteenth century, the city’s population was growing at an enormous rate. There was also an increase in the number of hungry workers __(2)__ lived in the suburbs and had to commute to work every day. What was worse, they had found no restaurants near their workplaces to feed them. __(3)__, a banker asked Bachche to bring his lunch from his home to his office every day. This idea quickly began spreading among the banker’s coworkers and then beyond. Sensing a good business opportunity, Bachche gathered friends and neighbors and organized a lunch delivery team __(4)__ of about one hundred workers. Over time, the dabbawala system has grown to an unbelievable size and now is responsible for over fifty million lunchbox deliveries a year. __(5)__ for its high efficiency and accuracy, the dabbawalas’ operative system has been studied by many enterprises as a true model of excellence.

9. What is the daily life of a dabbawala like? A typical day begins early as they wake up at dawn to eat, pray, and exercise. They must have a __(1)__ breakfast since their routine, which begins at 8 a.m., is intense. After breakfast, they begin collecting the lunchboxes in their assigned areas. With the lunchboxes, they meet their colleagues at the train station __(2)__ the boxes are sorted into piles depending on delivery location. __(3)__ all the boxes are marked with special codes to indicate their destination can they be sent off. After finishing sorting the lunchboxes, the dabbawalas board the train and travel with them. After reaching
the destination, the dabbawalas must deliver lunchboxes __(4)__ for lunch, with the latest delivery at 1 p.m. Once this is complete, they can rest and enjoy some lunch themselves. After this break, the entire process is done again, but this time in reverse. The empty lunchboxes are collected and then __(5)__ to their owners’ homes, ready for the same cycle to begin again the next day.

starters, teamwork can be beneficial to increasing __(2)__ by enabling workers to divide a project into multiple tasks that can be handled by different workers at the same time. Although sometimes it may seem easier to do things alone, there is a limit to what can be accomplished by one person. After all, the success of a company is due __(3)__ to its employees’ ability to do a lot in little time and teamwork is definitely one way to achieve it. Next, discussion among team members is often the source of creativity, __(4)__ we say “two heads are better than one”. Oftentimes, not until team members talk together __(5)__.
__(6)__, this is why companies like Google promote open work spaces and public areas. Another great benefit is that teamwork can optimize* output by __(7)__ workers to do the
tasks best suited to their specific expertise* and talents. Every person has their own
weaknesses and strengths and brings different things to the table. __(8)__ the nature of a task, a team can assign it to the person who can handle it the most quickly and accurately. In other words, the value of teamwork is shown how each teammate’s ability is made good use of. A team is a system __(9)__ a car. Each part of a car has its own function, just as each team member has their own role. __(10)__, each team member is needed to keep things running smoothly. These reasons and more are why teamwork is so important in the workplace. 註：optimize 優化 expertise 專業技能
