7 . Good health is a precious thing. When we are healthy, we can learn, work, and support ourselves and our families. When we are sick, we struggle, and our families and communities fall behind.
That's why the World Health Organization is needed. Working with 194 Member States, across six regions, and from more than 150 offices, WHO staff are united in a shared commitment to achieve better health for everyone, everywhere.
The purpose that all people should enjoy the highest standard of health, regardless of race, religion, political belief, economic or social condition, has guided WHO's work for the past 72 years, since it was first set up as the lead agency for international health in the United Nations, which was founded in 1945.
Since 1970, the world has seen a rise in noncommunicable(非传染性的)diseases such as cancer, diabetes(糖尿病)and heart disease. Driven by forces such as rapid unplanned urbanization, globalization of unhealthy lifestyles and population ageing, these diseases now account for 70% of all deaths. So WHO has shifted focus, along with health authorities around the world, to promote healthy eating, physical exercise and regular health checks.
The organization has run global health campaigns on the prevention of diabetes and high blood pressure and on healthy cities. It negotiated(谈判)the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, a powerful tool to help reduce diseases and deaths caused by tobacco.
Achieving these goals will require unfailing political and financial commitment, from Member States and donors, and continued and expanded collaboration with colleagues from academia, Partners on the ground, and other members of the UN family.(From the official website of WHO, 2020. )

8 . Picture a young woman picking flowers from a field to make a natural blush for her cheeks, making a sofa from bamboo, making soy sauce(酱油)from scratch and cooking up all sorts of delicious Chinese food. It may sound unreal, but such a person exists in real life, and her name is Li Ziqi.
Her videos cover a wide variety of crafts related to traditional Chinese culture. From making paper and ink to weaving cloth, from making a silk quilt for her grandmother to building her own bread kiln(面包窑)with blocks, nothing seems impossible with Li's crafty hands as they work their magic to bring these things into existence.
"Watching her videos, it is difficult not to have the sense of longing for home. My heart warmed up as I watched her flip soybeans in the video for making soy sauce. I was really moved. I used to do this kind of work when I was young," comments the Weibo user July of Jiangnan.
The success of Li Ziqi and her video lies in her passion—passion for life, for her home and for her culture. She does not say much, but she tells the stories of China's culture.
"I started it because I wanted to create something for people to watch and relax. We are all under a lot of stress. I hoped that after a long and busy day, they could click on my videos and relieve some of their anxiety and pressure," Li said.
But her videos did more than that. Viewers from both home and abroad are attracted. Li now enjoys a fan base of more than 21 million people on Sina Weibo and 7 million strong followers on YouTube. She has made a name for herself in her videos that highlight a traditional Chinese way of life in the rural areas.
Li is not without criticism, such as remarks about her "beautifying" life in the country and her use of a professional production team to help her film. Others have expressed skepticism about how "real" her videos are, and how "amazing" it is that she looks so picture perfect after a long day of work in the fields.
1. Why was July of Jiangnan moved when watching Li Ziqi's video for making soy sauce?A.Because he loves soy sauce made by hand. |
B.Because he was touched by Li Ziqi's creativity. |
C.Because it taught him how to make soy sauce. |
D.Because it reminded him of his own experience. |
A.To make a lot of money. |
B.To become famous on the internet. |
C.To help watchers relieve their stress. |
D.To spread Chinese traditional culture. |
A.Doubt. | B.Interest. | C.Curiosity. | D.Concern. |
A.Li's crafty hands can do everything |
B.Some people don't think highly of Li Ziqi's videos |
C.Li Ziqi talks a lot in order to introduce Chinese culture in her videos. |
D.Li Ziqi's videos focus on the traditional Chinese way of life in the city. |
9 . We all know Albert Einstein was probably the most intelligent man that ever lived, and that his contributions to science were the greatest, but still, there are a few things you may not know about the great scientist.
Einstein Syndrome
Einstein was supposed to talk late—he told his biographer(传记作者)he didn't start speaking until at least three years old. Stanford economist Dr. Thomas Sowell even invented the term "Einstein Syndrome" to describe extremely bright children whose speech is delayed.
A Simple Compass
When Albert Einstein was five years old and sick in bed, his father showed him a simple pocket compass. Einstein was attracted. What force made the little needle point in a single direction? This question stayed with Einstein for many years and has been considered as the beginning of his interest in science.
Einstein and the Violin
Einstein's mother, Pauline, was an excellent pianist and wanted her son to love music too, so she started him on violin lessons when he was six years old. Unfortunately, at first, Einstein hated playing the violin. He would much rather build houses of cards, which he was really good at. When Einstein was 13 years old, he suddenly changed his mind about the violin when he heard the music of Mozart. With a new passion for playing, Einstein continued to play the violin until the last few years of his life and Einstein would use the violin to relax when he became stuck in his thinking process.
Designed a Refrigerator
Twenty-one years after writing his Special Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein invented a refrigerator that operated on alcohol gas. The refrigerator was patented(获得专利)in 1926 but never went into production because new technology made it unnecessary. Einstein invented the refrigerator because he read about a family poisoned by a sulphur dioxide-emitting(排放二氧化硫的)refrigerator.
1. What is the term "Einstein Syndrome" in Paragraph 2 used to describe?A.Some people who change their mind about learning music. |
B.Some children who can't speak until they are three years old |
C.Some smart children who begin to speak later than normal children |
D.Some people who are crazy about the pocket compass and its needle. |
A.Boring. | B.Interesting. | C.Frightening. | D.Hateful. |
A.Einstein benefited a lot from playing the violin. |
B.Einstein invented the refrigerator out of curiosity. |
C.Einstein received a compass as a gift for his fifth birthday. |
D.Einstein suffered from a special illness when he was a child. |
