21、It has been little more than14 years since famous television host and wildlife activist Steve Irwin passed away, but the Irwin family is carrying on Steve’s cause－they continue to save Australia’s wild animals at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital in Queensland, which is owned by the Irwin family.
Altogether, Steve’s wife Terri and his two kids Robert and Bindi have treated more than 90 , 000 animals at the zoo’s 24/7 medical units since they opened 16 years ago. And due to the significant impact of weather events across northern New South Wales and South East Queensland, they’ve seen more animals suffering from fires, drought and disease and their team is busier than ever.
Robert recently posted a photo of their record-breaking animal patient on social media, saying, “This is patient number 90,000 that the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital has treated. He is a platypus(鸭嘴兽) that we rescued from the big wildfire－an endangered animal, and we named him Ollie. Now Ollie is receiving care round the clock until he can be sent back to the wild. "
“Over the last 16 years, the hospital has provided 24/7 wildlife rehabilitation(康复)and an unbelievable animal rescue service,” he added. “We’re so proud of this world-class facility.But with extreme pressure from drought to bush fires , there’s more wildlife than ever out there in need of our help.”
The Irwins have taken to social media to inform their concerned followers that they are not in danger of being affected by the wildfires. “With so many destructive fires within Australia, my heart breaks for the people and wildlife who have lost so much.

22、 I recall when I was a young girl back in Canada, I was watching a baseball game on TV with my father and we started to argue the importance of sports. Different from my father, I insisted that sports is more than just a hobby to keep us physically healthy and claimed that "There would be more wars if we didn't have sports!"
As an adult, I still firmly believe that sports is more than just a hobby for both participants and audience. The challenging times we are all living through right now with coronavirus is proof to this. The effect of cancelling all sports, from professional to amateur programs, can be felt by millions of people worldwide. To many the social and emotional influence is stronger than the physical. The loss of the sense of community, of belonging, and of an extended family is real for people everywhere. Others are feeling physical challenges and are struggling to stay active during these times.
But the human race is incredible and adaptable in tough situations, and sports once again is playing a role. Many sports teams are online, being a source of support, love and laughter. So many professional athletes are sharing their messages and making monetary donations to the cause. Even in areas of isolation, people are coming out on balconies, where they help neighbours and themselves to work out. Many more are turning to online workout programmes to follow. Once again, sports is finding its way.
So, in challenging times such as now, people are still empowered to continue their sports journey and stay strong and healthy.

23、 The Moringa tree (辣木树), or Drumstick tree, grows to between three and ten meters tall. Its flowers are cream-colored. The plant has long and round green pods (豆荚) that can grow to 30 cm. The plant is very common in South and Southeast Asia, Africa and America. Although the tree is relatively unknown in China, it is extremely useful.
The leaves are used for eye and ear diseases, fevers, etc. They are also held against the forehead to reduce headaches, or made into tea to treat stomach problems. As they contain a lot of iron, they have been used for the treatment of anemia (贫血), a medical condition in which there are too few red cells in the blood, causing tiredness.
The seeds (种子) are commonly used to treat certain skin diseases. Ground seeds can be mixed with salt or oil to apply to the body to treat backache. The oil from the seeds is also used as a hair treatment, and to keep mosquitoes away and treat their bites.
The roots function in exactly the same way as the seeds. They have additional uses for heart and circulation problems. The plant contains high levels of fiber and protein, so it is planted mainly to feed farm animals and human beings. The leaves are eaten fresh or cooked.
Like every other part of the tree, its flowers are not just decorative but also functional. They taste a bit like wild mushrooms and are considered a delicious food. They are used to make tea to treat the common cold and mixed with honey to make cough medicine.

24、For thousands of years, the Chinese have practiced tai chi. This ancient form of mindful martial arts (武术) involves gentle, focused movements and deep breathing. Each posture flows into the next, a connection to the nature of the universe flowing effortlessly with the rhythms of life. 【1】
It can improve balance.
Tai chi looks almost like a slow-motion dance as you try to stay balanced as you slowly lift one leg off the ground and set it down. 【2】 But with practice, you will get better and build balance in your body. According to Harvard Health, tai chi reduces falls in senior citizens by 45 percent, and is an excellent way to avoid serious injury.
It aids in reducing stress.
【3】 This type of active meditation (冥想) relieves stress through meditative movements. A study from The Psychiatric Clinics of North America found that tai chi helps improve psychological well-being including reducing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as increasing self-esteem.
It helps build strength.
When you watch the slow movements of tai chi, it might not seem like a form of martial arts. 【4】 It doesn’t just apply to martial arts techniques but also builds overall strength. Physical therapist and tai chi instructor, Matt Leve said, “The practical benefits of tai chi are rooted in its unique movement system which emphasizes tension reduction, balance, and whole-body movement.”
It may improve heart health.
