Sewing can be fun and creative. But have you ever thought that a wing machine can also mean the world to

many people around the globe that u it as their main source of income?

When Margaret Jankowski discovered this, she decided to found The Sewing Machine Project, an organization

that collects donated ud machines and redistributes them in remote places like Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and

After the village she lived in was destroyed by the natural disaster, she lost everything, including her wing machine,

her approach to future earnings. This story made Margaret decide to collect ud wing machines and nd them to

Sri Lanka. After attending a local news program where she prented her idea, she started receiving scores of wing

machines.

The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world.

For them, wing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a wing machine can be the door to

brighter financial opportunities. A wing machine can also enable many to prerve their cultural identity. After

Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own

An exhibition of 125 life-size elephant sculptures has gone on display in London to highlight the need for

coexistence between people and wildlife.

herd of wild Asian elephants roaming Southwest China’s Yunnan Province has drawn global attention. Elephant

Family said it would like to e more strategies in place that allow elephants to migrate, eat, and do their best to fit

into strange landscapes in a way that is safe for both people and wild animals.

The CoExistence exhibition is on display at Green Park, St James’s Park and Berkeley Square after the sculptures

長的) communities who live clo to their real-life counterparts. Here, people and elephants coexist in denr(更密集

的) populations than anywhere e in the world.

“Our best guess is that elephants are very intelligent and have learned that humans grow lots of nutritious food.

Elephants move over long distances and explore their environment, as their ancestors have always done. Coexistence

is about negotiating this sharing of space.”

When many parts of the world went into lockdown to help control the spread of the novel coronavirus,

rearchers found wildlife thrived(茁壯成長) in the wake of reduced human activity. “A global reduction in human

activity has had a positive effect on wildlife around the world,” Elephant Family said. “It has now been scientifically

demonstrated that the moment we lighten our footprint, wildlife thrives and transforms the health of the planet for all.

The COVID-19 pandemic has showed us that coexistence with wildlife is very much possible.”

After the exhibition, the sculptures will go on sale for between 6, 000 pounds (US $ 8,346) for a calf and 30,000

The world is going through a basic transformation, which is changing the way we live, work and think. The

Fourth Industrial Revolution is bringing dramatic change and giving ri to a future filled with exciting opportunities

and new challenges. Together governments and business must find solutions to society’s most pressing needs—from

creating a carbon-free economy to tackling population growth and urbanization.

In any period of rapid change there is a trend to look for a simple method, to greet the new things and replace the

old way of doing things. But a clo look at the facts tells a different story. Complex problems require many solutions

working in harmony to enable positive change.

The challenge for scientists and the engineers is to provide solutions in fact, data and today’s realities. And while

technologies offer new tools to help uncover solutions, the process also requires hard work, imagination and lots of

improvement.

Success rests on performing practical, realistic, long-term solutions that make the world cleaner, safer and more

sustainable.

The environment is a ca in point. Much of the public debate has centered on the central role of renewable

power sources in realizing a low-carbon energy future. While the industry is fully behind the developing renewables,

today we understand a low or zero-carbon future depends on adopting a multifaceted approach.

We cannot control sunshine levels or decide when the wind blows, which means solar power and wind power

generators will produce too much or too little energy at times. The transition to renewables needs to take account of

rious considerations.

Batteries have been much discusd as a means of storing extra energy, but there are other choices. Power-to-X

technologies enable spare energy created by renewables to be stored and redistributed when and where it is needed.

12. What’s the main idea of paragraph 2?

A. Society’s dramatic change calls for simple methods.

B. Old means of doing things should be replaced by new ones.

C. Society needs positive change for development.

D. Some problems should be solved in combined ways.

13. What does the author expect scientists and engineers to do?

A. Offer new tools to uncover solutions.

B. Tackle population growth.

C. Work hard with imagination.

D. Make the world better with a simple method.

14. What’s the author’s attitude to the consumption of the solar power and wind power?

A. Uncertain. B. Cautious. C. Unconfident. D. Doubtful.

15. Which of the following is the advantage of Power-to-X technologies?

A. They can adjust power supply.

B. They can conrve energy.

C. They help make more electricity.

D. They can create power from wind and sun.

Green exerci is a term ud to describe any type of physical exerci that takes place in a natural environment,

rather than in a health club or gym. 16 Instead, it relies on the u of natural means of taking part in activities

that improve strength and endurance with as little reliance on equipment as possible.

17 For example, some consider a truly natural exerci experience requires that the individual wear clothing

only made from natural fibers. Others consider barefoot (赤腳的) running or walking would be greener and thus be

more desirable than running or walking with shoes.

A slightly different approach to green exerci puts more stress on fresh air, sunshine, and involvement with the

natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing 18 In like manner, climbing a mountain using standard ud

during the exerci. equipment and protective clothing would also be considered green exerci.

Many consider green exerci helps to reconnect human beings with the natural world. The interaction with

nature helps to lower people’s blood pressure, refresh their mind, and actually improve their lf-esteem (自尊). 19

Not everyone believes that green exerci is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. 20

Meanwhile, the u of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts, which help strengthen the heart and

lungs in ways that more simplistic exerci in a natural tting would be difficult to manage.

A. Spirits are also believed to be positively affected.

B. A green gym us as little equipment as possible.

C. All forms of green exerci are good for you.

D. Opinions on what truly green exerci means differ.

Recognizing a cat’s emotions from its face is often hard, even for its owners, Now, rearchers from Canada’s

University of Guelph insist that cats also express emotions on their faces—one just has to learn how to interpret 36

(they)!

For their study, Professors Lee Niel and Georgia Mason surveyed 6,300 37 (volunteer) from 85 countries.

The participants 38 (show) the cats’ faces from a ries of short videos.

The rearchers, who published their findings in the November 2019 issue of Animal Welfare, found that only

819 participants were able to read the cats’ emotions 39 (accurate) over 75 percent of the time. Further rearch

showed that the so-called “cat whisperers” were primarily women and veterinarians, and younger adults also emed

to be able to read the expressions even 40 (well) than older individuals.

Surprisingly, being a cat owner did not help to read cats’ emotions, indicating that a strong attachment to the

animal did not necessarily mean 41 better understanding of its emotions.

The rearchers believe cats’ expressions can be learned over time, 42 explains why veterinary (獸醫的)

staff scored high 43 the study. “This is important to be able to do becau it could help strengthen the bond

between owners and cats, and so improve cat care and welfare,” said Niel.

44 (find) out if you have what it takes to be a “cat whisperer”, take the fun cat faces quiz 45 (create)

by the study’s rearchers.

It was freezing cold outside. The biting wind was blowing hard. Rosalee presd her no against the window.

Then she made a wish. “Ready, t—snow,” she whispered. She looked at the sky, but there was no snow. Rosalee

clod her eyes again. “Ready, t—SNOW!” she said louder. She stole a quick glance with one eye open. “Not one

flake(小薄片)”.

“Be patient, dear. It will snow soon,” said Rosalee’s grandmother Nana. She was tting a plate of warm pizzelle

(芝麻脆餅) on the table. Rosalee loved her grandmother’s cookies. Their fancy shapes looked like snowflakes.

“But Grandpa told me it was suppod to snow today,” Rosalee said. It would be the first snow this winter. She

had been filled with expectations.

Rosalee’s brother, Marcus, was sitting at the kitchen table. “Today can mean any time between now and

midnight,” he pointed out.

Rosalee emed a little confud. All the signs of snow were there: It looked like it could snow—The sky

matched the grey rooftop next door; It felt like snowy weather—When she walked across the yard to check the

mailbox that morning, she’d had to wear her hat and gloves and bury her face in a scarf, which made her look like a

moving ball at a distance; It even smelled like it could snow—Nana always made pizzelle in a snowy weather.

The cookies cooled on the table, filling the kitchen with their sweet smell, making her mouth water. Nana smiled

at Rosalee and handed her a cookie. Rosalee took a bite. Suddenly, an idea struck her. “I know how to make it now,”

she said excitedly, jumping off her at.

“Impossible,” Marcus mumbled(嘟噥), his mouth full.

“You’ll e!” Rosalee disappeared into her room.

An hour later, Rosalee called to her brother, who was in his room reading. “Come into the kitchen with your eyes

clod, Marcus.”

“All right.” Marcus appeared in the doorway. His eyelids were clod.

“OK. Ready, t—SNOW!” Rosalee said.

“Look!” Rosalee pointed out the window and cried in great excitement.
