How to Travel Sustainably on a Budget
The idea that sustainable travel is always expensive is just not true. Making choices that are better for the environment often fit well with traveling on a budget, greatly reducing your effect on the environment while saving money. Here’s how to achieve both goals:
Choose Local Accommodations
Avoid luxury resorts using a lot of resources. Choose instead locally-owned guesthouses, homestays, B&Bs, or hostels. This direct spending keeps money within the community, builds real connections, and avoids hidden resort fees. First look for places with clear ways to help the environment (like recycling or solar power) after checking they are safe.
Shop at Farmers Markets & Local Eateries
Buying fresh, seasonal food directly from farmers supports the local economy, offers healthier meals, and is usually cheaper than tourist restaurants or imported supermarket goods. Importantly, it greatly reduces the large carbon emissions created by long-distance food transportation, making your diet better for the planet.
Travel in Less Busy Times Between Peak and Off-Season
Target the times between the busiest and very quiet seasons (e.g., late spring or early fall). You avoid the extremely high prices and huge crowds of peak season, while escaping the often-unpleasant weather of the true off-season. Enjoy lower costs on flights and lodging, more pleasant conditions, and you provide important income to local businesses during quieter times without overloading local services and facilities.
Bring Reusable Items You Need
Carry a strong water bottle (refill for free!), a coffee cup, reusable utensils, and a foldable tote bag. This stops you having to buy throwaway plastic items all the time and saves you money every day. Get reusable bottles for soap, shampoo, etc. — they avoid small plastic bottles you throw away, reduce luggage weight (potentially saving baggage fees), and last for many trips. These simple items significantly cut down your trash output and rapidly save you money.
21. What is a key benefit of choosing locally-owned guesthouses
A. Creating deeper cultural interactions.
B. Ensuring maximum safety for travelers.
C. Offering resort-style services at low cost.
D. Keeping financial resources in the community.
22. How do farmers’ markets help protect the environment
A. Selling imported goods at lower prices. B. Cutting down pollution from food miles.
C. Guaranteeing all products are organic. D. Supporting tourist restaurants financially.
23. What can we conclude about reusable items
A. They save travelers money over time.
B. Their use depends on free water availability.
C. They require extra luggage space frequently.
D. They initially cost more than disposable ones.
B
Twenty years ago, I made my living driving a taxi through the night streets of the city. One early morning at 2:30, I arrived at a dimly lit apartment building to pick up a passenger. Most drivers would just honk and wait, but I knocked — experience had taught me that late-night fares often needed extra help.
An elderly woman in her 80s answered, dressed like she’d stepped out of an old film. Her apartment was bare, its furniture covered. As we slowly made our way to the cab, she leaned heavily on my arm, thanking me repeatedly for my patience. “It’s nothing,” I said. “I just treat passengers how I’d want my mother treated.”
Once settled in the backseat, she requested a detour (绕行) through downtown. I hesitated — until she whispered, “I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院). I’m in no hurry.” In that moment, I turned off the meter.
For the next two hours, we traveled through the sleeping city as she guided me to landmarks of her life: The office building where she’d worked, the apartment where she and her late husband began their life, a warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she’d twirled in her youth. At each location, she’d grow quiet, staring at shadows where her memories lived.
As dawn painted the horizon pink, she sighed, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.” We arrived at the hospice. As I helped her into a wheelchair, she tried to pay. “You owe me nothing,” I said. On impulse, I bent down and embraced her. She held on tighter than I expected. “You’ve given an old woman one last moment of joy,” she whispered.
Then I drove away, haunted by her words. That quiet night taught me that life’s most meaningful moments often come disguised as small acts of kindness.
24. Why did the driver knock on the passenger’s door
A. Night fares often needed special assistance.
B. Dim lighting made honking ineffective there.
C. Apartment rules required no honking at night.
D. Elderly passengers preferred personal contact.
25. How did the woman react at her life landmarks
A. She compared old and new city views. B. She silently revisited past memories.
C. She requested photos of each location. D. She described youthful adventures vividly.
26. What does the woman’s tight hug imply
A. Anxiety about entering hospice alone. B. Physical weakness required support to stand.
C. Emotional gratitude for the journey given. D. Regret about being unable to pay the fare.
27. Which saying conveys the driver’s lesson
A. Time heals all wounds. B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. He who helps others helps himself. D. Small kindnesses have great impacts.
C
A number of well-known factors, including exposure to UV radiation, genetics, and aging, can lead to cataracts (白内障), a condition affecting roughly 94 million people, in which the lenses of the eyes become cloudy, causing blurry vision. But in recent years, researchers have found another causative (成为原因的) factor for cataracts and other eye disorders: climate change.
Climate change is increasing risks to eye health in multiple ways. First, it is making the planet hotter. Body temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) can cause heatstroke, a condition that disrupts biological processes throughout the body. In the eyes, heatstroke damages the natural defense systems that normally fight against the buildup of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, explains Lucía Lucas, an ophthalmologist at Hospital of La Axarquía in Spain’s Málaga province.
Another way global warming is contributing to eye disorders is by increasing our exposure to UV radiation, according to Lucas and study co-author José María, a geographer at the University of Málaga. Some of this exposure is driven by behavior — people tend to spend more time outdoors when it’s warm. But in some places, such as Southern California and the Costa del Sol in Spain, hot, dry winds decrease the water vapor in the air that would normally absorb UV radiation, resulting in greater UV exposure. UV radiation also generates reactive oxygen species that damage the eye lens and can directly damage the DNA of lens cells, Lucas adds.
There are ways to protect the eyes from climate-driven damage. First and foremost, outdoor workers should be given sufficient shade and frequent breaks to cool down, says Jesús Rodrigo, a geographer at the University of Granada and a co-author of the Spanish study. He also recommends wearing a hat with a visor (遮阳帽舌) that shields the eyes, as well as UV-filtering sunglasses: Sunglasses offer nearly 38 percent more protection than wearing nothing, Rodrigo says.
28. How does heatstroke damage eyes
A. By accelerating aging of eye lenses.
B. By raising body temperature to 104°F.
C. By directly clouding the eye’s lens structure.
D. By weakening defenses against harmful molecules.
29. Why do some regions have increased UV exposure
A. Clouds fail to block UV radiation. B. Hot winds reduce UV-absorbing water vapor.
C. People outdoors neglect UV protection. D. Higher temperatures increase UV intensity.
30. What can be inferred about eye protection
A. Combining strategies offers better protection.
B. Hats with visors block more UV than sunglasses.
C. Sunglasses alone prevent most climate-related damage.
D. Outdoor workers face lower risks with frequent breaks.
31. Which title best summarizes the text
A. Global Crisis: Climate Change Blindness
B. UV Radiation’s Role in Cataract Formation
C. Fighting Reactive Oxygen in Eye Disorders
D. Climate Change: An Emerging Eye Health Threat
D
Axolotls (蝾螈), a species native to Mexico, possess a remarkable ability to regenerate lost limbs, organs, and even spinal cord (脊髓) tissue within weeks. A pioneering study published in Nature Communications has decoded this biological wonder, offering potential pathways for human regenerative medicine.
Led by biologist James Monaghan, a team of researchers genetically engineered axolotls to glow in the dark, enabling precise tracking of their regeneration. Their investigation identified retinoic acid — a vitamin A derivative (衍生物) common in skincare — as the key driver of limb regrowth. This molecule acts as a blueprint, ensuring correct limb regrowth (e.g., a hand instead of an entire arm). Developmental biologist Catherine McCusker highlighted a long-standing puzzle: “How does regenerating tissue know exactly what to rebuild ”
To answer this question, Monaghan’s team tested the effects of varying retinoic acid (视黄酸) concentrations on amputated (切断的) axolotl limbs. Experiments revealed distinct retinoic acid gradients along limbs: higher concentrations near shoulders triggered complete limb regeneration, while lower concentrations near hands / feet resulted only in finger or toe regrowth. The enzyme (酶) CYP26B1 regulates this gradient by breaking down excess retinoic acid, controlling its distribution. Moreover, a gene called Shox — targeted by retinoic acid — is essential to this process, according to the study.
Humans share these biological components: retinoic acid pathways and the Shox gene. “We have the machinery — we just need to activate it,” Monaghan stated, imagining future medical patches that could reprogram human cells to regenerate limbs rather than form scars.
While clinical applications remain years away, this research provides foundational knowledge. McCusker emphasized: “Investment in basic science is crucial. Understanding axolotls brings us closer to solving human regeneration challenges.” The study clarifies nature’s repair manual, potentially transforming trauma treatment.
32. What human medical field could benefit from axolotl research
A. Immediate spinal injury treatment. B. New vitamin-based skincare products.
C. Advanced wound healing technology. D. Glowing animal genetic engineering.
33. What controls whether a full arm or just fingers grow back
A. Where the body part is cut. C. The level of a chemical at the injury site.
B. How active a key gene is. D. The time taken to break down an enzyme.
34. What does the underlined word “machinery” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Tools for genetic modification. B. Natural body parts for regrowth.
C. Processes of limb regeneration. D. Technology for medical patches.
35. Why does the author include McCusker’s emphasis on “investment in basic science”
A. To advertise potential clinical applications.
B. To urge immediate funding for medical trials.
C. To address difficulties in practical treatments.
D. To stress the foundational value of the research.

Need to Solve a Problem Try a Power Nap
Stuck on a difficult task New research suggests a 20-minute nap might spark creative solutions. 36
Scientists asked 90 healthy adults to complete a computer task involving moving dots. Unbeknownst to them, the dots’ direction was secretly linked to colors. 37 The remaining 75 participants then took a 20-minute nap while their brain activity was monitored.
After napping, participants retried the task. Results showed 85.7% who reached N2 sleep (a deeper non-REM stage) discovered the hidden pattern. Only 63.6% in lighter N1 sleep succeeded. Merely 55.5% of non-sleepers figured it out. 38 N1 is characterized as light sleep, typically lasting under 10 minutes, whereas N2 represents a deeper non-REM stage from which waking is more challenging, often spanning 30 to 60 minutes in duration.
Though the exact brain mechanism is unclear, researchers believe naps make the brain “more open to new ideas.” 39 This might explain why naps trigger “aha!” moments.
Great minds like Thomas Edison used similar techniques. He napped holding steel balls — if he slept too deeply, the clatter woke him. 40 Modern science now confirms deeper N2 sleep benefits complex problem-solving.
While naps aren’t a universal solution, this study proves targeted rest can unlock hidden insights. Next time you’re stuck, try a power nap!
A. He likely only reached light N1 sleep.
B. This proves specific sleep stages matter.
C. Strategic naps may fuel daily innovation.
D. Earlier no-nap tests had lower success rates.
E. Brainwaves showed deep sleep before insights.
F. REM sleep involves dreams but wasn’t studied.
G. 15 participants spotted the pattern early and left.

One afternoon, I stared at an old picture frame unused for years. My spouse and I decided to sell our house for a smaller apartment. We spent weeks 41 boxes, choosing what to keep or discard. It was emotional — each item held memories.
We selected treasures for our new place, 42 some to charity. But much remained. I photographed the frame and posted it online for a 43 price. Next day, messages arrived: one asked the brand, another requested a discount.
As moving day neared, I 44 the price to “free” with “New home needed.” An excited woman came immediately. 45 the frame was gone, I posted more items, each with a note why I was 46 with them.

My Forever Tree
When you live a long time with trees, they become part of you.
So it hurt me to take down the old sugar maple, my tree like a holy place, one piece at a time. Her death wasn’t from fire but an underground attack of root fungus. Small honey-colored mushrooms growing at her base were “the clue,” said the tree expert.
The tree was old when we moved to the farm 36 years ago, about the age of this farmhouse — we guessed 160 years. I know she was here in the 1940s because we have an old photo showing her smaller then, not yet ruling the side yard as she did later.
In her old age, she reached about 90 feet high. And she had personality. Not straight, but unique: her trunk split into four parts, branches spread out like a dancer stretching her arms wide. I felt lucky to have lived under her leaves for years.
But lately, heavy rains and dry weather hurt her. Summers are hotter, winters less cold. Little snow covered her roots. Climate change likely made her weaker against the root fungus, the expert said.
“She’s not doing well,” my husband said. Then, in one season, her whole left side began to fall. Branches crashed onto the garden shed below, bark pieces everywhere. Ant nests appeared at her base. Plants growing in the cracks of her bark looked weaker.
Even birds left. I saw no nests in her branches like last year, nor found smooth white dove eggs on the ground. Maybe birds knew those branches weren’t safe anymore.
Still, I hoped we could save her. What had she seen in her long life Horse carriages, farmers in log houses with corn-stalk walls, barn buildings, snowy winters, more birds, more insects, many bats — now nearly gone from the farm.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

But I could fool myself no longer because it had become too dangerous to walk underneath her. Now, instead of gazing up at the tree, I can hold her in my hands.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了二十年前一位出租车司机深夜免费陪伴临终老人绕行城市回顾人生重要地点的经历，通过关掉计价器、耐心陪伴并拒绝车费的善意举动，展现了生命末期珍贵的情感联结与善行的深层意义。
24. A 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Most drivers would just honk and wait, but I knocked — experience had taught me that late-night fares often needed extra help.”可知，司机敲乘客的门是因为夜间乘客通常需要特别帮助。故选A。
25. B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“At each location, she’d grow quiet, staring at shadows where her memories lived.”可知，当到达人生重要地点时，这位女士默默回顾了过去的回忆。故选B。
26. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，当司机拒绝车费并主动拥抱她时，她紧紧回抱并低声说：“你给了这位老妇人最后一个快乐的时刻。”这表明她的紧拥是情感层面的感激，直接回应司机耐心陪伴她完成人生重要地点的回顾之旅，体现了对这段特殊经历的珍视与感动。故选C。
27. D 推理判断题。根据全文尤其是最后一段内容可知，文中司机通过主动敲门协助老人、关闭计价器免费陪伴其回顾人生重要地点、拒绝车费并给予拥抱等一系列微小善意举动，为老人创造了生命最后阶段的温暖回忆。老人感动地表示“你给了这位老妇人最后一个快乐的时刻”，而司机也由此领悟到“生命中最有意义的时刻往往以微小的善意行为出现”。这些细节共同印证了“Small kindnesses have great impacts.（微小的善意带来巨大的影响）”这一道理——看似平常的关怀举动，在特定情境下能产生远超其表面价值的深远意义。故选D。
C
本文是一篇说明文。文章阐述了除紫外线辐射、遗传和衰老等已知因素外，气候变化通过高温导致眼部防御系统受损及增加紫外线暴露（因干燥风减少水汽吸收UV辐射）成为白内障等眼疾的新诱因，并介绍了户外工作者防护、佩戴遮阳帽和防紫外线眼镜等应对措施。
28. D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In the eyes, heatstroke damages the natural defense systems that normally fight against the buildup of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species, explains Lucía Lucas, an ophthalmologist at Hospital of La Axarquía in Spain’s Málaga province.”可知，中暑会破坏眼睛中本用于对抗活性氧等有害分子积聚的自然防御系统。这种损伤源于高温导致的生物过程紊乱，使眼部失去抵御氧化应激的关键保护机制。故选D。
29. B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“But in some places, such as Southern California and the Costa del Sol in Spain, hot, dry winds decrease the water vapor in the air that would normally absorb UV radiation, resulting in greater UV exposure.”可知，在某些地区，干燥的热风会减少空气中原本能吸收紫外线的水蒸气含量。由于水蒸气对紫外线具有天然吸收作用，其减少直接导致到达地面的紫外线强度升高，因此这些区域的紫外线暴露风险显著增加。故选B。
30. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，保护眼睛免受气候影响的措施需多管齐下：为户外工作者提供充足阴凉和休息时间以降低体温，同时建议佩戴遮阳帽与防紫外线太阳镜（后者可提升近38%的防护效果）。这些措施并非孤立存在——物理遮挡（帽子）、环境调节（阴凉休息）与设备防护（太阳镜）共同作用，形成多层次的防御体系。因此可推断，单一防护手段效果有限，综合运用多种策略能显著提升眼部保护效能。故选A。
31. D 标题判断题。文章围绕气候变化对眼部健康的影响展开，首先指出除传统诱因外，气候变化已成为白内障等眼疾的新兴致病因素。随后从高温导致眼部防御系统受损、干燥热风降低紫外线吸收能力两方面具体阐释其作用机制，并补充防护建议。标题“Climate Change: An Emerging Eye Health Threat（气候变化：新兴的眼部健康威胁）”精准概括了全文核心——揭示气候变化作为眼疾新增诱因的科学发现及其影响路径，既点明主因又体现问题紧迫性，与文中“气候变化通过多重路径加剧眼疾风险”的论述高度契合。故选D。
D
本文是一篇科普说明文。文章介绍了科学家通过基因工程蝾螈研究发现视黄酸调控肢体再生的关键机制（包括浓度梯度与CYP26B1酶、Shox基因的协同作用），揭示了其作为“再生蓝图”的生物学原理，为人类再生医学提供了潜在激活路径。
32. C 细节理解题。根据全文尤其是第一段和最后一段内容可知，通过解析自然界的修复原理，科学家未来可开发出能激活人体再生潜能的医疗技术（如靶向视黄酸路径的细胞重编程贴片），使伤口愈合从疤痕修复转向功能性组织再生，从而革新创伤治疗方式。故选C。
33. B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Experiments revealed distinct retinoic acid gradients along limbs: higher concentrations near shoulders triggered complete limb regeneration, while lower concentrations near hands / feet resulted only in finger or toe regrowth.”可知，实验显示，蝾螈肢体中存在明显的视黄酸浓度梯度：靠近肩部的高浓度会触发完整肢体再生（如整条手臂），而靠近手/脚部的低浓度仅导致末端结构再生（如手指或脚趾）。这种浓度差异作为信号，指导细胞精准重建对应部位的组织。故选B。
34. B 指代判断题。根据第四段中的“Humans share these biological components: retinoic acid pathways and the Shox gene. ‘We have the machinery — we just need to activate it,’ Monaghan stated,”可知，人类与蝾螈共享这些生物组件，Monaghan用machinery比喻人体已具备再生潜能的基础，只是尚未被激活。因此，其正确指代为“用于再生的天然身体部件”。故选B。
35. D 目的意图题。根据最后一段的内容可知，尽管当前临床应用尚未落地，但研究已揭示了自然界通用的修复手册（如视黄酸梯度调控机制），这些底层原理是开发未来再生技术的前提。McCusker通过强调“基础科学投资至关重要”，间接呼吁重视此类看似“无直接应用”的研究——因为只有先理解自然机制，才能最终解决人类再生难题。因此，作者借此强调研究的基础性贡献，而非仅聚焦短期应用。故选D。
第二节
本文是一篇科普说明文。文章通过实验研究结合历史案例，阐释了20分钟小睡（尤其是N2阶段非快速眼动睡眠）如何提升复杂问题解决能力，并揭示其可能通过增强大脑对新想法的接受度来触发创造性突破的机制。
36. C 空前句：New research suggests a 20-minute nap might spark creative solutions.（新研究表明20分钟的小睡可能激发创造性解决方案。）；下文具体解释了这一研究结论。C项“Strategic naps may fuel daily innovation.（战略性小睡推动日常创新。）”承接上文，Strategic naps同义转述空前句的a 20-minute nap；fuel daily innovation转述spark creative solutions，延续研究意义。故选C。
37. G 空前句：Scientists asked 90 healthy adults to complete a computer task involving moving dots. Unbeknownst to them, the dots’ direction was secretly linked to colors.（科学家让90名健康的成年人完成一项涉及移动点的计算机任务。他们不知道的是，点的方向与颜色秘密相关。）；空后句：The remaining 75 participants then took a 20-minute nap...（剩余75名参与者随后进行了20分钟小睡……）。G项“15 participants spotted the pattern early and left.（15名参与者提前发现了模式并离开。）”，承上启下，spotted the pattern直接呼应空前句secretly linked to colors，解释参与者减少原因；15 participants...left同义转述空后句remaining 75（从90人减至75人），填补数字逻辑空白。故选G。
38. B 空前内容：列举了数据对比，N2睡眠者成功率85.7%，N1睡眠者63.6%，非睡眠者55.5%。空后句：N1是浅睡，N2更难唤醒。B项“This proves specific sleep stages matter.（这证实了特定睡眠阶段的重要性。）”，承上启下，This proves指代空前数据，specific sleep stages matter总结N2/N1成功率差异，同义转述数据核心；空后句详细解释N1/N2特征，B项作为过渡句自然引出此解释。故选B。
39. E 空前句：researchers believe naps make the brain “more open to new ideas.”（研究者认为小睡使大脑更开放接受新想法）；空后句：This might explain why naps trigger “aha!” moments.（这可能解释小睡为何触发顿悟时刻）。小睡使大脑开放，E项“Brainwaves showed ...”提供实验证据（脑波数据证明深睡与顿悟的关联），用具体数据支撑该理论。“deep sleep”直接呼应前文N2深睡阶段。空后句“this might explain”中的this指代E项的脑波证据，说明深睡数据是解释“顿悟”的基础。因此E项“Brainwaves showed deep sleep before insights.（脑电波显示顿悟前存在深度睡眠。）”为最佳选项。故选E。
40. A 空前句：He napped holding steel balls — if he slept too deeply, the clatter woke him.（他小睡时手持钢球—若睡太深，球落地声会唤醒他。）；空后句：Modern science now confirms deeper N2 sleep benefits complex problem-solving.（现代科学证实更深N2睡眠有益复杂问题解决。）。A项“He likely only reached light N1 sleep.（他可能仅达到了浅层的N1睡眠阶段。）”，承上启下，He指代空前句的爱迪生，“light N1 sleep”转述空前“slept too deeply ... woke him”（防深睡），并呼应空后“deeper N2 sleep”。故选A。

第四部分 写作
第一节
Dear Sir/Madam,
On behalf of the student body, I submit these innovative ideas for the upcoming Art Week.
To enhance immersion, we could organize hands-on workshops — pottery, digital art, or street dance — alongside the main exhibitions. These sessions would not only deepen artistic appreciation but actively engage participants. Additionally, creating temporary outdoor art installations in the campus courtyard could inject vibrancy into our daily environment.
These proposals aim to transform passive viewing into active creation. Workshops cultivate practical skills, while outdoor installations turn the entire campus into a living gallery, fostering a sense of community and shared ownership of our creative space.
Let’s make this Art Week a truly unforgettable tapestry of expression!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
But I could fool myself no longer because it had become too dangerous to walk underneath her. My husband and another helper tied ropes to her branches. I could feel her impending fall in my bones. I didn’t want to look. They used long-handled cutters and chainsaws: dangerous, noisy work. They were experienced but not with such a big tree. We had to call a tree expert with a lifting truck, more people and stronger chainsaws. But he was so busy dealing with dead and sick trees in our small town that he said he’d cut her down but not clean up the mess. She was down. I tried to turn her into bowls, spoons, lamps and similar things.
Now, instead of gazing up at the tree, I can hold her in my hands. The bowls are smooth as silk, not rough like her bark; light-colored, not dark; small, not dignified. But they are the old maple living again, though in a different form. Some of her will stay here, where she grew deep roots, but other parts will travel out into a wider world because Snyder said he liked working with the wood so much that he wanted to make more things. The birds that once lived in the old maple have had to move on to sing elsewhere. So must I.

M: What about organizing a party for Mother’s Day
W: Let’s do something different. How about taking Mom on a picnic with the whole family in the countryside I’m sure she’ll love it.
M: Good idea. It’s also better than giving her some material gifts.
Text 2
W: My husband sits in front of the computer for hours every Saturday, surfing the Internet.
M: Well, the Internet has that effect on a lot of people, but it supplies people with all kinds of information.
Text 3
M: I’ll attend a lecture on Wednesday. Let’s discuss the plan further at the Friday meeting.
W: But I’ll be leaving for Paris on Thursday afternoon. Maybe we can talk that morning over breakfast.
M: Sounds great.
Text 4
W: Is your hotel room okay
M: Well, it’s certainly big enough. There’s also plenty of space in the bathroom. And the staff are attentive. I wish I had a better view, though. There’s nothing to see except the cars in the parking garage.
Text 5
M: Mrs. White, we have to change the schedule again. I really want to meet with you. I just need to sort out my schedule.
W: Well, I know you’re pretty busy, but we have to work fast on this. Otherwise, we’ll lose the market.

W: Bruce, what about going to the theater this afternoon
M: Sorry, Jennifer, I already have plans for this afternoon. I’ll go and clear garbage.
W: Why do you do that
M: I want to do something to help the environment. Now I’m a member of a volunteer community group started by my neighbor. We clear litter in those parks every weekend in our town. You can join us if you want.
W: It’s a good chance to do something meaningful. I guess I’ll see the movie some other time, though I managed to get the tickets yesterday.
M: Awesome! Shall I pick you up at your place at 1:30 this afternoon
W: That’s great.

W: Steven, I had a miserable experience this morning. It was rainy, so I took a taxi to work, but the taxi driver was a green hand. Then I tried walking, but I got bad directions and got lost.
M: Oh, that’s terrible! Were you late
W: Yeah. I arrived at my company at 8:30, 30 minutes late for my work.
M: Oh, I am never late for my work. I used to catch the first bus, and it was always crowded. Now I drive to work, and I usually set off early to avoid the rush hour.
W: But the parking around here is so expensive.
M: Actually, I drive to work with some of the other employees here, so we can share the gas and parking fees.
W: Do you think I could share a ride too
M: It’s a pity that we don’t have any more space in the car. Maybe you can get to work by subway, especially when it rains. It’s more reliable than taking the bus or driving the car, and it’s totally worth it.
W: I see. It’s a good idea. Thank you so much.

W: Brighter days are upon us. New life and nature are at the forefront of our minds. It’s great time to see new birds and other wildlife and teach your children about what feathered friends live among us. To help with this, Vine House Farm has created a series of Educational Bird Cards to teach children about the birds around them. It’s meant to inspire children to take a look outside and see what wildlife they can see, with the aim that they can adopt the same passion for birds and other wildlife. The cards have bright colors and a clearly displayed image of each bird. The birds are not drawn by artists. They’re photographs of real birds. There’s information about birds on the cards. Vine House Farm says, “It’s so important that the younger generation are aware of the importance birds have on our ecosystem and society in general. Vine House Farm has a wealth of wildlife knowledge. Parents can encourage your children to get engaged with birds and other wildlife. It’s worth it taking the time to identify the birds, to explore and fully immerse themselves in the beauty. This is a great way to teach them about the environment and the importance of nature conservation. If you want your children to go out and watch birds, you can visit Vine House Farm’s site and buy the cards now. Those cards will keep your children entertained, while also learning.
