A
For
some of us who long to travel, it can be difficult
to find someone to journey with. Friends and
family members are tied down in jobs,
struggling to save money, and don't always want to
go to the same
places. The solution, of
course, is to go it alone.
Melbourne,
Australia
Melbourne is a
hot-spot travel destination, which has beautiful
beaches as well as busy and lively city
life. Australia as a whole is
considered a safe destination for international
travel, and because of that, many
solo
(单独)
travelers go there.
Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because
you can walk or bike
practically
anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand
is
great
for
solo
travelers
-
perhaps
because
it
is
one
of
the
Buddhist
mentality,
which
promotes equality among the sexes.
Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality,
and as a travel hot-spot,
there
are
plenty
of
chances
to
meet
other
like-minded
travelers.
Overall
known
for
being
very
cheap,
especially in the north, it's a good
choice if you want to get away on a budget.
Bhutan
Bhutan
is
one
of
the
most
cultural
countries
in
the
world.
It
is
also
home
to
the
world's
highest
unclimbed peak,
Gangkhar Puensum. The mountain is sacred
(神圣的)
and entry is only
possible on a
pre-booked tour, where
you are accompanied around by your own personal
guide. Plastic bags have been
banned in
Bhutan since 1999 and in 2004, it became the first
country in the world to outlaw tobacco.
Costa Rica
Costa
Rica
is
a
great
place
if
you're
looking
for
adventure,
with
surfing,
volcanoes
and
other
recreational
activities.
You’ll
never
get
a
chance
to
feel
lonely
because
there's
an
abundance
of
exciting
adventures to
experience! Costa Rica has never seen political
unrest; class struggles or revolutions commonly
associated with other Latin American
Countries. What's more, it doesn't have or need an
army because it's
such a peaceful
country.

This
may look like an ordinary plastic straw
(吸管)
,
but it is
not made of plastic. Cameron Ross started
the Celise Bio-products company, to
produce single-use plastic alternatives from plant
materials like these.
They are made of
poly lactic acid
(聚乳酸)
known
as PLA from com starches
(淀粉)
.
Cameron
Ross said,
quality sustainable and
cost-effective solutions, made from plants to
start getting rid of single-use
plastics.
Single-use plastics such as
bottles or straws are major cause of pollution.
When we throw these away, they
end up
in a landfill or in the water like rivers.
According to researchers, it could take up to more
than 500
years for them to properly
break down.
Ross says he wasn't always
so environmentally conscious himself. But ever
since the hiking trip in
West Virginia,
when he spent more time picking up trash than
enjoying nature, his priorities changed. That
meant making biodegradable products
that can break down in only a few years.
While many cafes and restaurants are
choosing paper products to be more eco-conscious,
it isn't cheap.
Paper straws can cost
about eight times more than plastic straws. But
bio-plastic straws cost less than a penny
a straw, not even double the price of
plastic ones.
Another problem with
paper straws is that they get soft and wet. You
don't want to be sipping
(啜
饮)
something that alters your
drink, or starts to melt while you're drinking and
then you have to get another paper
straw, which creates more wastes than
needed. Ross hopes his Washington DC-based company
will provide
an eco-friendly solution
for food service providers.
8. Which
aspect is NOT the focus of the Celise Bio-
products?
A. Material.
A.
High profits.
C. Lower cost.
B. Appearance.
C. Quality.
D. Cost
9.
What
inspired Ross to start the Bio-products company?
B. Requests from food service
providers.
D. His changed environmental
awareness.
10.
What can we learn about the new straws?
A.
They are widely used in
cafes and restaurants.
B.
They cost less than paper ones.
C.
They may soften or even
melt while carrying water.
D.
They produce more waste.
11.
What's the author's purpose of writing
the passage?
A.
To persuade
more food service providers to work with Ross.
B.
To explain the
development of straws.
C.
To
introduce a new eco-friendly straw.
D.
To compare different straws.

Playdoh-just one of the
many waggy-tailed
(
摇尾巴的)
residents
at the Scottish SPCA's
(
Society for
the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals
)
rescue centre in
Aberdeenshire - is being introduced to a new
sensory
garden, getting used to new
surroundings.
It is really a dog's
playground - providing scent
(气味)
stimulation and exercise
many of them haven't
experienced
before. So, we do rescue lots of sort of,
abandoned, abused animals - and this garden will
help to
rehabilitate them. It's going
to enrich their life and it's going to give them
skills that will help them in the
future. And hopefully it will give them
a bit more confidence and help them to find their
new homes - which
is the main aim.
In recent years - the North East
(
of
Scotland
)
has become
something of a hot spot for illegal animal
activity. The puppies were born at the
rescue center after their mother was taken into
care following a recent
raid
(警方突然搜查)
in Moray. Some puppy
farm dogs have never been out of a doghouse - so
they haven't
been outside, they haven't
even walked on grass.
The sensory
garden is somewhere safe that they can come and
learn these skills. This garden is really
going to help them with their
confidence and help them to socialize. Some of
them haven't even learnt basic,
basic
skills - so this is really going to boost that for
them.
The center currently has 22 dogs
waiting for a forever home. But in the meantime,
the sensory garden,
a new space filled
with new pleasant smells, surfaces and barriers,
is preparing them for
center.
