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

Playdoh-just one of the many waggy-tailed

residents at the Scottish SPCA's

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

（

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.
