What do you do with your clothes that you don’t want to wear anymore Through cutting, stitching （缝） and redesigning, Baxter Salzwedel has found a fashionable way to be sustainable （可持续的）.
In March, recycling clothes earned the 17-year-old from Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah High School in Wisconsin, US, a finalist spot in the Young Entrepreneurs competition. The competition was hosted by Junior Achievement of Wisconsin, a non-profit organization. He won a scholarship of $ 10,000 for his sustainable clothing brand The Mad Patcher.
In the beginning, Salzwedel just worked with clothes for fun. He learned his sewing skills at a young age from his grandmother. He then started to tear up his old jeans to try and create cool new designs. The fun hobby quickly turned into a business for Salzwedel when his friends and classmates started asking him to make customized clothing for them.
“So many people wanted them that I wasn’t going to make 150 pairs of pants for free, so that was when I had to start making a business out of it,” Salzwedel told the Sheboygan Press.
In 2021, Salzwedel started his clothing brand. He uses colourful and patterned fabrics （布料） from other clothes to create his patchwork （拼接） designs, like jeans, shirts and jackets. He only uses donated or recycled materials to ensure maximum sustainability.
Salzwedel has earned thousands of dollars through selling his clothes, and he donated 25 percent of his profits to non-profit organizations.
Talking about the competition, Salzwedel said, “It was exciting to do that and meet all sorts of young people with similar ideas.”
The teenager planned to use the prize to attend the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. The college is one of the most famous fashion schools in the world. Meanwhile, he will continue doing his business even after he graduates. For Salzwedel, The Mad Patcher is a lifelong project worth working on.
24．What inspired Salzwedel to do business
A．His interest in fashion design. B．The popularity of his pants.
C．His grandmother’s encouragement. D．The growing problem of fashion waste.
25．What does the text tell us about The Mad Patcher
A．It aims to promote second-hand clothes.
B．It uses donated materials to reduce costs.
C．It produces sustainable fashion products.
D．It copies designs from well-established brands.
26．What does Salzwedel plan to do with the scholarship
A．Grow his clothing brand. B．Earn a degree in fashion.
C．Donate it to a fashion school. D．Cooperate with like-minded people.
27．Which of the following can best describe Salzwedel
A．Strong but selfish. B．Brave and determined.
C．Talented but negative. D．Creative and generous.
C
A slower walk as you age has always been a warning sign of increasing weakness that could lead to falls and other disabilities, experts say. Recent research in small groups of elderly subjects has also found that a slower walk from year to year may be an early sign of cognitive （认知） decline. That may be due to shrinking in the right hippocampus （海马体）, which is the part of the brain connected with memory, according to studies.
Now, a new study, published in the journal JAMA Network Open, finds people who walk about 5% slower or more each year while also exhibiting signs of slower mental processing were most likely to develop dementia （痴呆）.
The study followed a group of Americans over 65 and Australians over 70, nearly 17,000 seniors in total, for seven years. Every other year, people in the study were asked to take cognitive tests that measured overall cognitive decline, memory, processing speed and verbal fluency. Subjects were also asked to walk three metres twice to determine the person’s typical walking speed.
At the end of the study, researchers found the highest risk of dementia was for “dual decliners”, or people who not only walked more slowly but also showed some signs of cognitive decline, said Dr. Joe Verghese, a professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, who was not involved in the study.
There are things we can do as we age to reverse （逆转） the brain shrinkage that comes along with typical aging. Aerobic （有氧的） exercise training increased the volume of the right front hippocampus by 2%, thus reversing age-related loss in the organ by one to two years in a 2011 clinical trial. Aerobic exercise means “with air”, and is a type of workout where heart rate and breathing increase, but not so much that you cannot continue to function. Types of aerobic exercise can include quick walking, swimming, biking and dancing. Non aerobic exercise includes weightlifting, high jump, long jump, throwing, etc.
28．What’s the finding of the new study
A．A slower walk could indicate dementia.
B．The right hippocampus is connected with memory.
C．A slower walk as you age has been a sign of weakness.
D．A slower walk may be an early sign of cognitive decline.
29．What’s the main idea of the third paragraph
A．The result of the new study. B．The subject of the new study.
C．The importance of the new study. D．The research process of the new study.
30．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Everyone should take aerobic exercise.
B．Aerobic exercise is the best way to keep healthy.
C．Aerobic exercise is most suitable for old people.
D．Taking aerobic exercise is useful to reverse age-related loss.
31．What is included in Aerobic exercise
A．Slow walking. B．Biking. C．Weightlifting. D．Throwing.
D
A group of researchers has developed a new material which is as soft as cotton but as strong as Kevlar and as conductive as many metals. It can be worn and washed like normal clothing and could eventually turn athletic clothes into smart “wearables”.
The so-called “carbon nanotube （纳米管） threads” work similarly to the wires in an EKG （心电图） monitoring device, which measures heart rhythms to detect heart conditions. But instead of having to be patched （贴上） onto the skin, they can be sewn into a T-shirt and worn like normal athletic clothes, according to a new study from researches at a Rice University Brown School of Engineering lab. And unlike wires, they say the threads can comfortably move with the wearer, and be washed, stretched and worn repeatedly without breaking down.
The Rice University lab first developed carbon nanotube fiber in 2013, and has studied its use in medical operations, such as in cochlear （耳蜗的） implants for hearing loss and to repair damaged hearts. But at the time, the original filaments （细丝） were too thin to be used by a standard sewing machine.
For this latest one, researchers worked with a rope-maker to weave the filaments together into a material similar to regular sewing thread that could be sewn into athletic clothes. The resulting “smart” shirt provides “soft, wearable, dry sensors for continuous” EKG monitoring, the study states.
Though likely a long way off from going into production for consumers, the material could eventually help replace heavy EKG monitors in medical settings and heart rate monitoring watches. With some changes, clothes with these fibers could eventually be able to track other vital signs, according to the researchers.
“You just don’t find soft, flexible, thread-like materials that are comfortable to the touch, that you can work with, that you can build a bridge out of it or you can build a power line out of it, but you can also run it through a sewing machine,” said Oliver Dewy, a member of the research team. “Nothing else behaves like this.”
32．What’s the feature of the new material
A．It’s soft but not strong enough.
B．It’s flexible but not comfortable.
C．It can conduct electricity easily.
D．It’s too thin to be used by a standard sewing machine.
33．What was the carbon nanotube fiber used for initially
A．Measuring heart rhythms.
B．Being sewn into athletic clothes.
C．Helping patients with hearing loss.
D．Improving exercise capacity of athletes.
34．What’s Oliver Dewy’s attitude to this new material
A．Favourable. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Critical.
35．What’s the best title of the text
A．The Future of Sports Clothes
B．Portable Accurate EKG Monitoring Device
C．The Study of Carbon Nanotube Fiber
D．Measuring Heart Rate Through a Smart Shirt
