But have you ever thought that a sewing machine can also mean the world to many people around the globe that use 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 used machines and redistributes them in remote places like Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Guam, and Kosovo. It also aims to help those in Detroit and New Orleans.In 2004,when a tsunami （海啸）hit Sri Lanka, Margaret was deeply touched by the story of a particular woman. After the village she lived in was destroyed by the natural disaster, she lost everything, including her sewing machine, her approach to future earnings. This story made Margaret decide to collect used sewing machines and send them to Sri Lanka. After attending a local news program where she presented her idea, she started receiving scores of sewing machines.The Sewing Machine Project covers a basic yet necessary need of many impoverished people around the world. For them, sewing can be a tool for survival. Whether in a factory or at home, a sewing machine can be the door to brighter financial opportunities. A sewing machine can also enable many to preserve their cultural identity. After Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005, a community of New Orleans that wears skillfully-made suits for their own traditional festival lost many of their sewing machines.

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, researchers found wildlife thrived （茁壮成长）in the wake of reduced human activity. "A global reduction in human activity has had a positive effect on wildlife around the world J 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.

Elephants, Intelligence and Nature to ExploreThe 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 rise to a future filled with exciting opportunities and new challenges. Together governments and试卷第4页，共10页 businesses 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 close 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 case 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 serious considerations.Batteries have been much discussed 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.11. Whafs the main idea of paragraph 2?A.

Others consider barefoot （赤脚的） running or walking would be greener and thus be more desirable than running or walking with shoes.A slightly different approach to green exercise puts more stress on fresh air, sunshine, and involvement with the natural world, rather than the equipment or clothing18Inlike manner, climbing a mountain using standard used during the exercise, equipment and protective clothing would also be considered green exercise.Many consider green exercise 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 self-esteem （自尊）.19Not everyone believes that green exercise is more beneficial than working out in a health club or gym. 20 Meanwhile, the use of fitness devices may result in more challenging workouts, which help strengthen the heart and lungs in ways that more simplistic exercise in a natural setting would be difficult to manage.A.
