Music is said to be a universal language．But for Chase Burton，a deaf filmmaker from Texas，music has always been a profoundly different experience．
“When I was a kid，I'd lie on the floor above our garage so I could feel the vibrations(震动)from my brother’s band rocking out below my body，”the 33-year-old told CNN．“That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music．”
In 2016，his ability to experience music changed dramatically，thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs．
It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to“feel”music through theft skin．Consisting of a body harness，ankle and wrist straps，the device translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses(脉动)that are felt at 24 contact points．Burton has been testing the suit for four years．
The sound hits different parts of your body，said Burton．“Maybe it will strike me down in my ankles first．And then I'll start to feel the vibrations in my back．And then I'll feel some pulsations in my wrist．”
“The creators want to extend the tactile(触觉的)musical experience beyond the deaf community．In 2018，they gave out 150 of the wearables at a rock concert in Las Vegas where half the audience members were deaf and half were hearing．
Since then，Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it's ready to go to market soon．Eventually，the creators want the device to become a consumer product，accessible to a11．The company’s talent and business development director，Jordan Richardson，told CNN that the technology could be incorporated into live sports broadcasts，video games，theme parks or museum installations．The newest digital streaming movie releases could have built in‘vibe．tracks’to‘feel’the movie．He said．“We truly think that anything that has an audio element can also have a vibrational experience associated with it as well．”

B．By wearing a wearable device to feel the vibrating pulses．
C．By striking different parts of his body．D．By feeling the audio of the music．

Balancing preservation of the land with our desire to travel is a challenge for us travelers. When seeing cities face constant resource and waste problems，I couldn’t help but think about how much travel can affect the envirenment．
Back in my youth，I was an environmental activist．But over the years，I leave the lights on．I fly a lot．I drink out of plastic bottles．I eat a lot of meat．And I love fish，especially tuna．However，recently，I've begun thinking harder about how travel affects the environment and how I affect the environment．In doing so，I've tried to be a lot more aware of my actions．
I don’t know if there is an easy solution for this problem．The most environmentally friendly activity is not to travel at all，but that’s unrealistic and too extreme．There’s so much money in travel that I don’t think the government and regulation can do much．Only when their profits are hurt will hotels，operators，and the industry as a whole begin to listen．Instead，it's all about the consumers．The only good way is to get people to be more environmentally conscious and make better decisions．
Consumers have a lot of power．Why did Wal-Mart start selling only sustainable fish and whole milk Consumers wanted it．I think if we as travelers begin to demand more environmentally friendly practices and avoid companies with poor environmental records，we can change things．
Now，I recycle more，I use fewer water bottles，I shut off the lights，Most importantly，I use operators and stay at places that are reducing their environmental impact．
Travel can destroy the environment but it doesn’t have to．We have the power to make things better．We can do small things and demand more of the places we stay and visit．We can and should demand more of places，and of ourselves．
28．Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A．My experiences of protecting the environment．
B．Can we balance travel and the environment
C．Is there an easy way to solve environmental problems
D．How can we travel in an environmentally friendly way
29．Why does the writer list his actions over the years
A．To show he is wealthy．B．To tell he is fond of travelling．
C．To indicate he has become less environmentally conscious．
D．To explain his hobby．
30．What’s the realistic way to solve the problem according to paragraph 3
A．People do not travel at a11．B．The government takes effective measures．
C．Tourism industry follows environmental rules．
D．Consumers become more environmentally conscious．

Having a light meal，however，doesn’t mean eating only vegetables．Different from the meat-free lifestyle，a typical light dish avoids oily，salty and spicy food． 33 Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal．
These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight． 34 Diners see it as“a great way to avoid bloating(变胖)，”wrote the Telegraph．

The bittersweet moments
How time flies! I’m now in senior year. Looking back on the senior school life, I have high and low moments. However, the bittersweet moments impress me most.
The bittersweet moments are when I finish the homework, when I have a heat-to-heart talk with my close friend, when I’m back home seeing my parents and when I sit through all the exams.
It is through those bittersweet moments that I grow up. And I gradually take a positive attitude toward life.
