2022 Earthshot Prize Winners
The Earthshot Prize is a 10-year project by Britain government that aims to find solutions to the biggest environmental problems the planet faces. The hope is that those solutions can be shared and repeated around the world. Every year, four prizes are awarded and each prize-winner wins $1.2 million for their efforts.
Protect And Restore Nature
Kheyti won the prize for protecting and restoring nature with its “Greenhouse-in-a-box” idea. The company provides a simple, large greenhouse to small farmers at a low cost. The greenhouses allow farmers to use 90% less water and produce seven times as much food. The company is already working with 1,000 farmers across India. Kheyti hopes to get its greenhouses to 50,000 farmers by 2027.
Clean Our Air
Charlot Magayi won the prize for cleaning the air. After her daughter was burned by a charcoal-burning stove, Ms. Magayi developed a safer, cleaner stove, called the Mukuru Clean Stove. Ms. Magayi’s stoves use a different fuel that’s cheaper and pollutes far less than charcoal stoves. Currently, over 200,000 Mukuru Clean Stoves are being used in Kenya. In three years, Ms. Magayi hopes to increase that number to 1 million.
Revive Our Oceans
The Revive Our Oceans prize was won by the Queensland Indigenous Women Rangers Network (QIWRN). Over the last four years, QIWRN has trained 60 indigenous women to help protect the environment. The women learned to use modern tools like drones. They also shared important history of Australia and information that’s been passed down for years among their people.
Build a Waste-Free World
A London-based company called Notpla (for “Not Plastic”) won the prize for building a waste-free world. Their plastic substitute is made from seaweed, and breaks down naturally with no microplastics. In 2022 alone, the company has made one million Notpla takeaway food boxes, replacing similar plastic-coated boxes. By 2025, the company hopes to increase that number to 25million.

Being a high school coach provides wonderful opportunities not only to seek great skill from students in sports, but also to implant in them some valuable life lessons. Donta Green, a committed coach at Westinghouse High School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has brought his school team to victory. While part of this is down to physical fitness and practice, an improved general attitude has also played a key role in the team’s success.
One way Green has changed his players’ behaviors is a strict no-bad-words rule. This applies to players and coaches alike. If anyone uses bad language then they can expect to start doing push ups. In another way, the coach is also addressing the way the high school students dress. No students are to be seen wearing trousers hanging too low and players should walk the corridors of the school in suit and tie.
This is having a positive effect on the students and their academic success, with the team grade average being 3.2. These changes are really affecting the way the players see themselves. As Keyshawn Morsillo, the team’s star quarterback, pointed out:
“He’s changed us. Everyone on the football team used to have some bad behaviors. But he has showed us the right way to be a successful man. We look up at him and follow his footsteps. Really, he’s helping turn us from boys to men.”
This is impacting the general attitude for these students not just in the school, but how they’re perceived in the wider community, too.
“A lot of the things we do might seem like small things, but they add up to big things. There are things we do that set us apart from other programs. It’s just a lot of simple disciplines. That’s what is lacking in a lot of our young people.” pointed out Green.
While the team continues to impress, it’s important to take note on how these small steps can inspire others. We can strengthen in our own children the importance of behaving appropriately.
4. Why did Donta Green try to change his players’ behaviors?
A. To promote their overall quality. B. To achieve their academic success.
C. To improve their communicative skills. D. To focus their mind on physical training.
5. What is the students’ attitude to the extra disciplines in the team?
A. Negative. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
6. What do Green’s words mean in paragraph 6?
A. Young people don’t have right attitude to life. B. Children’s daily behaviors should be regulated.
C. All the students in his school behave themselves. D. Disciplines are more important than skills.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A coach has brought his school team to victory. B. A player is changing from a boy to a sport star.
C. A coach is teaching players valuable life lessons. D. A football team has won the heart of community.
C
In September 2022, Artemis Technologies company presented a new type of water ferry(渡船). The Artemis E-24 is the world’s first high-speed, electric, zero-emissions ferry. Currently, the only way to get from Belfast, Northern Ireland to Bangor, Wales without getting on a plane, is to take a bus or train to Dublin, Ireland and to get on a ferry there. However, that could all change with Artemis E-24 to be applied literally.
The first Artemis E-24 is expected to set sail on a route between Belfast and Bangor as early as 2024. But actually the road to its creation began nearly 20 years ago, in 2005, when Olympic medalist, Dr. Iain Percy, joined the Artemis Racing sailing team. The Artemis ferry used the same hydrofoil(水翼船) technology that the Artemis Racing America’s Cup racing yachts did. It is this technology that can lift the boat out of the water as it picks up speed, much like an airplane’s wings, that make it seem as if it is flying.
Beyond the coolness factor, the reasons why Artemis E-24 uses the hydrofoil technology are practical. Raising the boat above the water, and reducing drag leads to up to an 85 percent reduction in fuel costs. Likewise, the reduced drag also minimizes the impact that running the ship has on shorelines. Reduced drag means lower waves.
The environmental benefit of a transportation technology is obvious to all. However, it also has practical benefits. As Dr. Percy told The Irish World, “this ferry will not only be the cheapest, but also the fastest way in water-based cities. It will get commuters(通勤者) to where they are going in25 minutes. In addition, this new initiative will also bring more than 1,000 new jobs into the Belfast area over the next few years.”
The Artemis Ferry is a proof to the fact that new and creative technologies can make huge impacts, not only for the world and the environment, but for the local economies that produce them.
8. Why is the route from Belfast to Bangor mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To analyze the new ferry. B. To make a list of evidence.
C. To come up with an idea. D. To add the background of the topic.
9. What does the paragraph 2 mainly show?
A. The shape of the Artemis E-24. B. The origin of the new invention.
C. The experiences of an Olympic medalist. D. The effect of the hydrofoil technology.
10. How can we describe the Artemis E-24?
A. It is light and energy-efficient. B. It is cheap and fully automatic.
C. It is high-speed and cost-effective. D. It is oil-burning and multifunctional.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. New Flying Ferry Could Revolutionize Water Travel B. New Technology Balances Economy and Environment
C. The Artemis Ferry with Airplane’s Wings Will Set Sail D. Hydrofoil Technology Leads to Reduction in Fuel Costs
D
A worrying rise in social media posts, suggesting that people leave their Halloween pumpkins in the woods to feed wildlife after October 31, has made wildlife experts concerned. Thousands of pumpkins are discarded in woods across Britain. While well-meaning pumpkin carvers might think they are doing the local animals groups a kindness, leaving your leftover jack-o’-lantern in the woodland is actually doing more harm than good.
“A myth seems to have built up that leaving pumpkins in woods helps wildlife, but behind it are many hidden issues.” said Paul Bunton, engagement and communication officer at The Woodland Trust, according to The Telegraph.
One of the main issues is that the leftover of the Halloween pumpkins are often eaten by already struggling hedgehogs (刺猬). In early November, hedgehogs are looking to gain as much weight as possible to survive their winter hibernation. However, eating pumpkin is harmful to their little hedgehog stomachs, leading to diarrhea and dehydration. This means they may struggle to put on weight, and in some cases can even be fatal.
Moreover, leftover Halloween pumpkins can contain candles and plastic decorations, which can also be fatal to wildlife if mistakenly eaten. The rotting leftover can also attract less popular wildlife, such as rats, to an area. According to The Woodland Trust, the additional nutrients in the pumpkins can negatively affect the soil balance as well. “Pumpkin’ flesh can have a really harmful effect on woodland soils, plants, and fungi(真菌),” Bunton pointed out.
So what should you do with your beautifully carved pumpkin creation after October 31? Most experts recommend composting(堆肥) it yourself at home if you can, or asking if a local garden or farm will accept it as a donation. You could even try some scientific experiments to produce more energy from the throw-away wastes. Either way, the hedgehogs will thank you.
12. What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 1?
A. Processed. B. Recycled.
C. Deserted. D. Preserved.
13. Why do hedgehogs try to eat so many pumpkins in early November?
A. To enjoy the sweet food. B. To fill their stomachs.
C. To prepare for the winter. D. To improve their health.
14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The additional nutrients in the leftover pumpkins. B. The damages of candles and plastic in the pumpkins.
C. The attraction of the rotting leftovers to some wildlife. D. Further explanation of the effect of leftover pumpkins.
15. What are people advised to do with the leftover pumpkins after Halloween?
A. Stop leaving your pumpkins in the woods. B. Keep your beautiful pumpkin creations at home.
C. Feed the hedgehogs with the leftover pumpkins. D. Bury the pumpkins leftover deep under the ground.

Simple Ways to Relax during the Day
Most people are living a hectic(繁忙的) life in a hectic world today. Everything seems to be “go, go, go”. There is little time to stop and relax. This is stressful enough, but if you add an additional stress such as a mistake at work or your child getting in trouble at school, things can quickly spiral out of control. 16
Take a deep breath. Deep breathing exercises are one of the most relaxing things you can do. 17 It is very hard to worry about something that happened in the past or be afraid of the future if you are living in the present moment.
18 You can start with your forehead and work your way down to your toes. This will help you relax completely. If you combine this exercise with the breathing exercise you can even stop a panic attack in its tracks. This exercise can either be done sitting down or while lying down.
Go for a walk. 19 Doing exercise will release endorphins, or feel good chemicals, that makes your feel more grounded and can even relieve pain. Going for a walk when you are upset gives you time to calm down as well. 20 This will get your mind off of the things that are bothering you and give you a chance to relax.
Have a cup of hot drink. Herbal tea is delicious and the warming feeling can take the edge off of even the worse day. Choose a tea that is caffeine free and has a flavor that you really enjoy such as blueberry or peppermint.
A. Relax each muscle of your body.
B. Clear your mind of all the pressure.
C. It centers you and brings you back into the moment.
D. You should take time to enjoy the scenery around you.
E. You can try to get yourself motivated in different ways.
F. Regular exercise can relieve anxiety and help you keep your cool.
G. There are ways to get a handle on stress and relax a little during the day.

Dear Peter,
Knowing that you have a strong passion for Chinese festivals, I am delighted to share with you my interesting experience during the Spring Festival vacation.
As a Senior 3 student, I first went over the key points of the subjects I had learnt this term and finished the homework assigned by my teachers. Every day in my spare time, I helped my parents with the housework, especially during the Spring Festival, when we decorated the house and cooked a lot of delicious food. I participated in colorful traditional activities to celebrate the lunar new year, which brought me great hope to a new life.
All in all I had a meaningful winter vacation. Would you like to share your story during the winter holiday?
Yours,
Li Hua
