21、The founder of KiwiHarvest has won an award for her efforts and impacts in aiding the environment and communities.
Deborah Manning, who lives in Dunedin, started KiwiHarvest from the boot(行李箱) of her car 10 years ago. Originally a lawyer, Manning changed careers when she realized that she wanted to focus on “significance“ rather than success.
Manning said, “I was driven to make a difference for delicate people in Aotearoa and for our fragile environment.”She said that if she used food that was still good to eat but was going to be thrown out to feed those in need, she could be “solving two problems with one solution”. She spent four months researching “food rescue” and speaking to businesses and groups who might donate extra food or need food for their food support programs (foodbanks, community meals, shelters etc. ).“Once I understood what was needed to collect,’ store and transport perishable(易变质的), frozen and fresh food, I simply started doing it in my own ear,”, she said.
Since then, KiwiHarvest has grown from a single person operation to a national organization with branches across the country.“ We provide food to organizations in the community working in the face of hunger and poverty ,”Manning said, “which in turn reduces their food budget so they can spend their precious funds on the other programs they offer. ”
Her efforts towards reducing food waste and aiding in food insecurity was recognized in the 2022 Kiwibank New Zealand Local Hero, of the Year Award, given to those “taking extraordinary action to better our communities and nation.”
KiwiHarvest has now provided 20 million meals from rescued food for people across Aolearoa. The next focus for it is on education, Manning said, “We want to get out into the community to tell our story and encourage people to reduce food waste and eat healthily.”

22、The latest addition to the Gtech garden power tools is a lightweight but powerful wireless Leaf Blower(吹落叶机). This autumn it will make the time of clearing leaves and garden pieces very short.
High performance
The 36V Lithium-ion Gtech Leaf Blower has the ability to clear pieces from your lawn, courtyard and driveway. The Leaf Blower uses a turbofan(涡轮风扇发动机) design that allows for a straight air passage from intake to outlet, offering maximum airflow and efficiency that turn the fan at 11,500 times a minute.
Complete control
The Gtech Leaf Blower is lightweight, at just 4.3 kg. It has been designed so that the battery and product weight are reasonably distributed. When in use, it will naturally point towards the ground to direct the airflow. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about injuring your wrists, even if you use it for an entire 20-minute run-time with full power. The variable trigger(扳机) allows for complete control –when you squeeze or release the trigger you will feel the airflow change to suit your garden needs.
Easy to use
The Gtech Leaf Blower is easy to use. There is no need to pull wires or top it up with fuel, so simply attach the battery and pull the trigger to start. The product’s wireless convenience means there are no wires to trip you up or limit your access, and no petrol to store up or pour—simply charge it and it’s ready to go. When you’re done, you can remove the detachable nozzle(管口), so the Gtech Leaf Blower is compact enough to be stored in small places.
Don’t just take our word for it
We really do care what you think. Go online to see the thousands of independent reviews our customers have given us, and check out our product video at www.gtch.co.uk.

24、Fitness tracking devices often recommend we take 10,000 steps a day. But the goal of taking 10,000 steps is not, as many of us believe, rooted in science. 【1】
The 10,000-steps target became popular in Japan in the 1960s. A clock maker, hoping to benefit from interest in fitness after the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games, mass-produced a pedometer (计步器) with a name that, when written in Japanese characters, resembled a walking man. 【2】 Therefore, it created a walking aim that, through the decades, somehow got planted in our global consciousness — and fitness trackers.
But today’s best science suggests we do not need to take 10,000steps a day. 【3】 In that study, people who walked for about 8,000 steps a day were half as likely to die prematurely (过早地) from heart disease or any other cause as those who had 4,000 steps a day. 【4】 The extra steps did not provide much additional protection against dying young, either.
【5】 If, like many people, we currently take about 5,000 steps a day during the course of everyday activities like shopping and housework, adding the extra 2,000 to3,000 steps would take us to a total of between 7,000 and 8,000 steps most days, which seems to be the step-count sweet spot.
A．It also translated as “10,000-steps meter”.
B．Really, many of us reach that 10,000-step goal.
C．In fact it is based on history rather than research.
D．But the statistical benefits of additional steps were slight.
E．The 8,000-steps a day could be a reasonable and achievable goal.
F．A study found that 10,000 steps a day are not a must for a long life.
G．The risks for early death continued to drop among those taking more steps.
