19、alia, and she managed to make it.But last year, as her wedding day approached, she faced a dilemma. She wanted to look good on the most important day of her life, but how could she spend a small fortune on the wedding dress she would only wear on that day?“In the end I decided that if I was going to
20、 get a wedding dress, Id make sure I could get my moneys worth,” Hall tells PA Real Life.“The first time I wore it after the wedding was to vote in the Australian election in early 2019,” the 43-year-old adds. “Since then, its been to all sorts of places. Wearing it on a crowded train was especially
21、 funny, but Ive worn it to do housework, to football games and to the gym.”Hall says that she has gotten some strange looks from people, but no irritating comments. It may have something to do with the fact that the dress is not the fanciest, but she believes people are just too reserved to say anyt
22、hing. Anyway, she doesnt really care, because she knows she has to hit the goal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the most reasonable way she could think of to make the most of her wedding dress.Hall now plans to wear her wedding dress on a trip to Iceland that she and her partner

27、searchThe situation todayHave you heard of STEM? STEM means science, technology, engineering and maths. It covers a whole range of jobs, from scientists who research cures for diseases, to engineers who design things like buildings, roads and bridges. These jobs are highly skilled. But of every eigh
28、t people in a STEM job, only one is a woman.Why we need more women in scienceThe lack of women in STEM jobs is becoming a national problem. The government is worried there simply wont be enough scientists and engineers in the future. This could affect the whole economy because, as a country, we can
29、sell our technology and skills to other countries. STEM jobs also create more work further down the line, such as for construction workers who build roads and bridge.The policeThe situation todayIn March 2015, the percentage of female police officers stood at 28%.

30、arlier in 2006. And the percentage has not always risen over this period.

Because crime is often
31、 to do with sex, or violence by men against women, a woman police officer might be more understanding or more approachable. Studies also suggest that women tend to trust other women more than men.

36、ip, set sail to learn about the ocean, including its depth. It carried 181 miles(291 kilometers) of rope to measure the depth of the ocean. During their four-year voyage, the Challenger crew collected samples of rock, mud and animals from many different areas of the ocean. They also found one of the
37、 deepest zones, in the western Pacific, the Mariana Trench which stretches for 1,580 miles(2,540 kilometers).Today scientists know that on average the ocean is 2.3 miles(3.7 kilometers) deep, but many parts are much shallower or deeper. To measure depth they use sonar, which stands for Sound Navigat
38、ion And Ranging. A ship sends out pulses of sound energy and measures depth based on how quickly the sound travels back.Ocean scientists like me study the sea floor because it helps us better measure the ocean. Our planets outer layer is made of tectonic plates. The Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount chain,
39、a line of peaks on the ocean floor, was created when a tectonic plate moved over a spot where hot rock welled up from deep inside the Earth. When two tectonic plates move away from each other underwater, new material rises up into Earths layer. This process, which creates new ocean floor, is called
40、seafloor spreading.
