Many great people in the world devote themselves to 【小题1】 (improve) society in their own ways. For example, Jane Goodall, a woman from Britain, would rather spend time studying chimps in the wild in Africa than lead 【小题2】 comfortable life. For 40 years she 【小题3】 (be) outspoken(直率的) about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of chimps. Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women’s diseases, is another woman who has made great 【小题4】 (achieve). There was story after story of no matter 【小题5】 tired after a day’s work, she went late at night to deliver(接生) a baby for a poor family. It was because of her hard work and great consideration to her patients 【小题6】hundreds of babies were delivered 【小题7】(safe) by her. A third example is Yuan Longping, the first 【小题8】 (agriculture) pioneer in the world to grow super hybrid rice. Using his hybrid rice, farmers can produce harvests twice as large as before. 【小题9】 now the UN has more tools in the battle to reduce hunger in the world. In short, so impressive is their work that they all deserve praising and【小题10】(learn) from.

On March 28, 2020, millions of people around the world turned their lights off for “Earth Hour”, 【小题1】 event meant to remind people of the importance of climate action. Because of the coronavirus(冠状病毒), this year’s event 【小题2】 (mark) online.

Initially launched as a way of making people aware of climate change in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour 【小题3】 (grow) to engage more than 7000 cities and towns worldwide ever since. It is held once a year. People switch their non-essential lights off for an hour 【小题4】 8:30 and 9:30 at night. There have been many public activities in 【小题5】 (celebrate) of Earth Hour around the world. This year, public gatherings aren’t allowed in most places. So instead, organizers encouraged people to take part digitally.

In Singapore that meant special on-line performances. Australia held a similar live-stream of performances by bands, comics, and others. In other places, people were encouraged to upload videos or photos 【小题6】 can highlight how important it is to protect the environment.

With the climate 【小题7】 (get) worse, focusing attention on climate action is seen by many as more important than ever. Scientists 【小题8】 (strong) suggest taking effective action before 2030 【小题9】 (avoid) the worst effects of the climate emergency. Though most countries usually use a bit 【小题10】 (little) energy during Earth Hour, the main idea is to remind people to take action on climate change outside of Earth Hour.

Recently, here in Melbourne, a 12-year-old kid was bitten by a king brown snake, the 【小题1】 (three) most deadly snake in the world. He was treated immediately, but as usual, some people point out 【小题2】 necessary it is to get rid of our beautiful and unique animals, so that they do not bite anyone again.

Now for anyone who 【小题3】 (know) anything about snakes, it’s simple: they are territorial (地盘性防卫的) animals, they have many methods of 【小题4】 (warn) people before they strike, and if the unlucky person does decide to accidentally step across the striking range, they won’t think twice to attack.

Australia is home to 【小题5】 10 most deadly species of animals in the world and many animals 【小题6】 (not) be found anywhere else in the world. They have basic animal instincts (本能) to attack as a 【小题7】 (protect) for their home, but we just refuse to see that. Our ignorance is causing hundreds of thousands of our native species of animals 【小题8】 (die).

We have a great number of deadly animals here, but these creatures should 【小题9】 (understand), not feared. Must we destroy everything in this beautiful country 【小题10】 ours before we decide that we have nothing more to fear?
