During the first COVID-19 outbreak, Dr Kirby White struggled to get enough disposable gowns （一次性罩衣）,so she and her colleague Dr Nicole Lowe decided to act. In March 2020, they developed a gown that could be laundered and reused, allowing them to keep see­ing patients at their Bendigo's clinic.

“The second CO VID-19 wave made it impossible for anyone to purchase disposable gowns," says Kirby, who explains one reusable gown lasts as long as 130 single-use gowns. “It was important to have a reusable gown. We didn't know how long the pandemic would last so we needed a sustainable solution."

Two weeks later, Gowns for Doctors was created. Taking to social media, Kirby, 36, shared the initiative （新方案）in a local Facebook group. Overnight, hundreds of volunteers put up their hands to sew （缝），donate fabric and distribute the gowns. She was blown away by the unbelievable response. "We had 400 emails overnight!" Kirby says. "It's the spirit that allowed us to send out so many gowns to people in need. Months later, Gowns for Doctors still has a lot of gowns if medical staff are in need of them. We are continuing to help those who need them."

The success of the initiative has now gone global, after a company contacted Kirby to cre­ate a Barbie doll （芭比娃娃）in her image, celebrating all the healthcare heroes globally. “Seeing my one-of-a-kind Barbie doll for the first time was a heart-skip moment. There were tears of joy. She looks just like me!”

After hand-packing every order, Dr White loves seeing happy healthcare workers wearing their donated gowns. "We've been sent photos of medical staff wearing their gowns with big smiles,“ she says. "Everyone has been so appreciative； we are inundated with thank-you cards. It's so nice to see them.”

Some Asian children are becoming increasingly fat, a new report says. The United Na­tions Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) joint report was released on Monday. The two agencies call for better regulation of junk food and a limit on sugary drinks for children. They also call for action against malnutrition (营养不良)， because a lack of food has prevented children who live in poverty growing normally and health­ily——or rather, hurts their development.

Dorothy Foote is a UNICEF regional nutritional specialist. She says the lack of food affects children's height and development inside their bodies. But at the same time, the area is facing high levels of overweight children.

The main reason for the food problems, the report says, is that there is more junk food available, which does not provide nutrition. Another problem is drinks with high sugar or high trans-fat, but low nutritional value. Lack of physical activity is also part of the problem, the report adds.

Foote says this is seen in nutrition across the area. She says people lack knowledge about what is needed and normal for healthy children's development.

The economic growth in the area has brought unhealthy products to rural areas. Poor and middle-class families buy them and do not make the right choices to use healthier foods in­stead. Poor feeding practices, especially for children younger than two, mean ongoing high levels of malnutrition.

The report says governments need to regulate the marketing of junk food and sugary drinks to children. It also calls for better feeding practices for infants and young children, and treatment for severely malnourished children. And it says the countries should work to reduce poverty and make sure that children stay in school.

28. What does the report focus on?

A. The economic growth in Asia.

B. Asian countries5 development.

C. The education in Asian rural areas.

D. Some Asian children's health problems.

29. What does the underlined word “them" in paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The right choices. B. The high levels.

C. The healthier foods. D. The unhealthy products.

30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A. The children's situations.

B. The problem's causes.

C. The report's suggestions.

D. The governments' efforts.

31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A. The reasons for children s being hungry

B. Asian children face malnutrition or fatness

C. Why children in Asia become overweight?

D. How to stop children from being overweight?

D

If we continue at our current production rate, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Today, there is a garbage island three times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean. However, in her presentation last week, Alexandra Cousteau, a world-renowned environmental advocate, offered a small sign of hope.

Cousteau's talk, titled “Telling the Story of Our Water Planet ： Innovation in Filmmaking and Social Media to Effect Environmental Change”, focused on using innovation and technolo­gy to create environmental solutions with a focus on restoration rather than preservation.

She described our current approach to conservation as a “zero-sum game“ between envi­ronmentalists and economists. An endangered species habitat can either be protected or devel­oped； a polluted stream can either be cleaned or left to deteriorate （恶化）.Both teams are on the defensive, yet playing a losing game.

In the 1970s, the environmentalist movement focused on conservation efforts. Cousteau said, “It was an effective tool then when plastics were young. But we have lost 50% of our oceanic ecosystems since 1950. Conservation is no longer enough. " Cousteau urges us to cre­ate biological richness for the creatures still living in the sea.

Throughout her speech, Cousteau discussed the challenges facing our oceans and the so­lutions lying at our fingertips. She explained the power of seaweed farming to sequester （隔 离）carbon. She talked of 3D printing coral reefs rather than painstakingly growing. Most of all, she focused on the youths and our amazing power for driving practical change.

Cousteau said, however, there are challenges in the mission. Ocean conservation has ine­qualities （不平等）in its approach and implementation. Though the science exists, lawmakers need to employ these solutions efficiently and equitably, which is far easier said than done. Despite these obstacles, Cousteau's message gave hope.

Modern environmentalism is no longer the work of a few, but the work of many dedicated individuals with a common vision for change. Together , we can regain hope and rebuild our oceans.

32. Why is the World Economic Forum's prediction mentioned?

A. To show the serious result of oceanic garbage.

B. To show our current dangerous living condition.

C. To tell the content of Cousteau's talk.

D. To share environmental solutions.

33. What does Cousteau want to express through the "zero-sum game”？

A. People's creative solution to protecting the Earth.

B. The success of the environmentalist movement.

C. People's awareness of protecting the Earth.

D. The failure of protecting the environment.

34. What does Cousteau think of the environmentalist movement in the 1970s?

A. It should be continued.

B. It should be prevented now.

C. It was good but then had little effect.

D. It was useful for biological richness.

35. What can we know about Cousteau from the text?

A. Her goal is difficult to achieve.

B. Her focus on the youths1 efforts is wrong.

C. She will rebuild the ocean by herself in the future.

D. She believes in the present ways to protect the ocean.

Since I was a young boy, I have had a dream to get a closer to understanding bear's life in the wild. I also know getting close to a bear in the wild is amazing but also full of danger.

Bears should be contacted closely in a safe distance. So when I was in senior high school, my father decided to go camping at a research camp outside “the bear of the world”—the town of Nigeria.

That day, once we arrived the destination, we put up the tent and took out our food, and most importantly, we set up our camera and got ready for getting close to the bear through taking photographs. At that time, a male bear which was surrounded by a high, wire fence followed his nose to our camp, met us and stared at our food. It seemed that it was hungry and attracted by our food.

Frightened, we knew some bear defense actions. One is that we can climb up quickly into a tree and hide ourselves in the branches. Another is that once you must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear come up and smell you all over, you hold your breath, and pretend to be dead as much as you could. The bear will soon leave you, for it is said a bear will not touch a dead body. So we kept taking some photographs.

Suddenly, the bear yelled at us and kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws （爪子）.Even worse, another bear appeared and tried to tear down the fence. Of course, making the best of this close encounter, I took some pictures of the bear with scary.

My father feared the fence wouldn't last through 25 more minutes of the bears, punishment So he called the camp managers for help. Unluckily, they would not arrive until half an hour. They suggested we use pepper spray （胡椒喷雾剂）which can burn the bears, eyes, but doesn't hurt them. What was worse, we didn't bring it.
