My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it. By chance, a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.
We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options. There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world, but we tried our luck, sent a request, and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada, so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.
Inspired by a Canadian couple, we decided to start our own travel blog. We began by writing about The Virgin Islands, highlighting the beautiful beaches. However, for every photo album of a beautiful beach, there were 10 photos of trash (垃圾). It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue, especially on such primitive and remote beaches. So, we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.
The more we looked into plastic pollution, the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution. From that point, we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free. We changed our daily routines, our way of living, and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.
It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can. This journey has led us to some amazing places, working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.
Our aim now is to keep on going. We love connecting with like-minded people. It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting. Who would have guessed ;

An asteroid(小行星)is moving very fast toward Earth, threatening every human being on the planet. Humanity has one shot to save itself with brave, selfless heroes piloting a spacecraft into the universe to destroy the asteroid.
But that’s the movies. On Monday evening, NASA showed what the reality was like. There was an asteroid, but it wasn’t threatening the Earth. And there was a spacecraft, relying on advanced technology from the Earth. The human heroes of the mission were actually at a physics and engineering lab between Baltimore and Washington, D.C.And there was a collision(碰撞). In this case it was the final act of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test(DART), a spacecraft that was launched in November, 2021 and then raced around the sun for 10 months as it pursued its target—a small space rock, Dimorphos, seven million miles from Earth.
”For the first time, humanity has demonstrated the ability to change the orbit of an asteroid,“ said Ralph Semmel, director of the lab. In its last moments, the spacecraft sent back a series of photographs. DART had spotted Dimorphos only an hour earlier, as a dot of light. Then, Dimorphos grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were on their feet, cheering. ”Normally, losing signal from the spacecraft is very bad,“ Semmel said. ”But this time, it was the ideal outcome.“
With movies like ”Deep Impact“, Hollywood has long been enthusiastic about the prospect of disaster raining down from the universe. ”In reality, big asteroids that would cause planet-wide destruction occur very rarely, once every 10 million years or so. Hence, planners at NASA and elsewhere devote their attention to smaller ones in space, which would not set off mass extinctions, but can release more energy than a nuclear bomb. If any of those asteroids turns out to be on a collision course with Earth, the DART mission shows that changing its orbit is a realistic possibility.;
8. What’s paragraph 1 describing
A.A movie plot. B.A natural disaster.
C.A witness account. D.A virtual experiment.;
9. What’s the mission of DART
A.Racing around the sun. B.Tracking asteroids in space.
C.Changing the orbit of Dimorphos. D.Establishing a permanent space lab.;
10. Why were the engineers cheering
A.They obtained clear desired photos. B.They made a safe landing from space.
C.DART crashed Dimorphos into pieces. D.DART completed its mission successfully.;
11. What’s the significance of the DART mission
A.Preventing the earth from being destroyed.
B.Providing a solution to an asteroid impact.
C.Fueling people’s interest in Hollywood movies.
D.Increasing chances of humans going into space.
二、七选五阅读
“Why do I look different in pictures ” It’s a weird phenomenon that is making people question their own mirrors. Are pictures the “real” you or is it your reflection 12
The answer to that is a bit tricky. The good news is that there’s a big chance that Quasimodo-looking creature that stares back at you in your selfies isn’t an accurate depiction of the real you. 13 The mirror is a reflection, not the real you.
Although we’re the most comfortable and familiar with the face in the mirror, the mirror isn’t really the real us. 14 Because we’re so used to seeing the reverse (相反的, 颠倒的) version of ourselves, seeing how we look in pictures can be unpleasant.
15 If your reflection isn’t the real you, does that mean your ugly selfies are your “true self” The problem might could be lens distortion (畸变). Because of the closeness of your face to the camera, the lens can distort certain features, making them look larger than they are in real life.
Your smile could also be the cause. 16 If someone shouting “Say cheese!” at you, maybe you’re going to tense up and have a photo that looks different from the version you see in the mirror. It’s best to relax when taking pictures and try to focus on something else.
A.Why do we look better in selfies
B.The camera lens (镜头) also plays a part.
C.But your mirror isn’t completely truthful either.
D.Have mirrors been lying to you this whole time
E.It’s a reflection, so it shows how we look like in a different perspective.
F.That being said, a smartphone camera shows your face as others see it.
G.When you’re looking at yourself in the mirror, you’re more likely to be relaxed and act naturally.

42. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My cousin Isaiah and I went fishing on the lake. Midweek, no one was around here. The nearby protected wetlands ran along the shore. Songbirds, ducks, and Canada geese slid by on the breeze, touching down briefly on the water’s surface before flapping (拍打)and quacking their way back up into the sky.
Standing at the lake’s edge, I cast my fishing line onto the smooth-as-glass water. Down the shoreline was Isaiah, who liked to fish alone, away from noise and other people.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few great northern loons (潜鸟) crowded together not far from the shoreline. Loons usually travel alone, but here were five of them in a group. One loon, making painful sounds, swam away from the group, toward me. It seemed like it was trying to get my attention.
”Isaiah! Come here!” Isaiah pressed his finger against his lips, pointed to where he had cast his line, and shook his head gently.
“Just get over here. Now!” I yelled.
He laid his fishing pole down and dragged his feet, moving toward me at a snail’s pace.
“Come here!” I yelled again. “Take a look at that loon. It keeps getting closer and closer!”
On hearing this, Isaiah fastened his pace.
The loon stopped in the shallow water near shore, not ten feet away from us. It was so close that we could see its red eyes. Oddly, the bird’s wings were held tight against its spotted black-and-white body. Though scared of its sharp beak (喙), we stepped into the water cautiously. As we approached the loon, we both saw something around its neck. Reaching down, I touched its head, my heart racing. I could see there was a shiny red-hook deeply stuck in its body, and fishing line was wrapped tightly around its neck. Left like this, the loon couldn’t fly or fish or survive. It was asking us to help!

42. Isaiah rushed to grab the scissors from the toolbox and came back. While turning back to the spot, he shouted and asked me to grab the poor loon. Realizing the fact that he wanted to help free the loon from the deadly fishing line and hook, I did as he required. Upon arrival, he knelt down and cut the fishing line first, carefully but quickly, in case the scissor hurt the loon. Then, he unfolded the red-hook that stuck in its body.At the moment, the loon sounded pleasantly.(76)
With a sigh of relief, I set the loon down on the water. The poor creature flapped its wings happily, quacking its way in the lake. Then, it swam toward us again. Using its head, it touched our hands, seemingly saying that we were to be thanked. We felt greatly moved and excited. We clearly knew that what we had done to the creature was what we should do in our daily life. We are all masters of our environment, just like living things. We should live in peace with them. (78)
