16、rove the health outcomes of Indigenous Australians.We use a sustainable development approach to achieve our objectives.eradicate:消除消除avoidable 可以避免的可以避免的 indigenous:本土的本土的 sustainable:可以忍受、支撑、持续的可以忍受、支撑、持续的 Our vision is of a world where no one is needlessly blind and of a land where indigenous peop
17、le enjoy the same health outcomes as all Australians.The Foundation is inspired by the work and example of the late Professor Fred Hollows.A:In my opinion,Professor Fred Hollows should help those in poorer areas.And I would like to be a volunteer if necessary.The reason is that we,either the poor or
18、 the rich,live on the same planet.Just as John F.Kennedy said,“If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.”B:Humanism or humanitarianism is a necessary quality for us human beings.We should share what we have and help those who are badly in need of help.I
19、 will become a volunteer if time permits.Actually I often help those who need help.For example,every Sunday,I take my neighbour,a disabled girl,to the park to refresh herself.And we talk a lot,and I think I help her a lot,which makes me very proud.Listening Number the items below in the order that y
