1 . I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in my country in Indonesia.     1     When I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport, the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop.     2     I jumped into the queue. Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me. I said that I would like to have a cup of tea. Then she asked me, “Would you like black or white tea?” I thought she was making a morning joke with me. So I said, “Red tea, please.” With a very unfriendly face she asked me again, “Black or white tea, please?”     3     I didn't know what actually black or white tea was. I only knew that having tea is usually with or without sugar.

    4     I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it. Then I asked her, “Can I say that you are having a white tea?” She smiled and said, “Yes, you can.” At that moment, I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk. How big is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!

“It's terrible, ”I replied.   

“And you have another choice, but I think getting married is even worse!” he said.

10 . 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 3 D 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.

B．To tell the content of Cousteau’s talk.

2. What does Cousteau want to express through the “zero-sum game”?

A．The failure of protecting the environment.

B．People’s awareness of protecting the Earth.

C．The success of the environmentalist movement.

D．People’s creative solution to protecting the Earth.

3. 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 useful for biological richness.

D．It was good but then had little effect.

4. 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.
