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 COVID-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 countries’ 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 unhealthy products. D. The healthier foods.
30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The children’s situations. B. The problem’s causes.
C. The governments’ efforts. D. The report’s suggestions.
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 tell the content of Cousteau’s talk.
C. To show our current dangerous living condition. 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. People’s awareness of protecting the Earth.
C. The success of the environmentalist movement. 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 youths’ 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.

Health is the most important thing in the world. Nothing is more important than health. If one takes away our money, houses, cars, or even our clothes, we can still survive. 36 That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly.

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 countries’ 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 unhealthy products. D. The healthier foods.
30. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The children’s situations. B. The problem’s causes.
C. The governments’ efforts. D. The report’s suggestions.
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 tell the content of Cousteau’s talk.
C. To show our current dangerous living condition. 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. People’s awareness of protecting the Earth.
C. The success of the environmentalist movement. 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 youths’ 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.
