21、Most parents will tell you that travelling internationally with kids is no day at the beach.

“For families with young children, spending a long period of time in an airport terminal can be a kind of pain, partly because of all the waiting around but also because the airport is just a stop — usually the first stop — in a long journey,” said Suzanne Rowan Kelleher, a family travel expert and managing editor of MiniTime.cn.

But a new beach-themed play area for children in the international terminal at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) gives kids a chance to have some fun and burn off some of their energy before they get on a flight.

First opening on Thursday, in the new Tom Bradley International Terminal with a party featuring the LAX therapy dogs, some gift bags and cupcakes, the 971-square-foot, post-security play area is titled “LAX Beach.” Open to kids aged 2 to 8, the play space has soft, sculpted foam pieces that resemble waves, surfboards, beach toys and dolphins and is keeping in with the terminal’s overall architectural theme, which was inspired by the Pacific Ocean to the west of the airport.

“I think it is safe to say that happy children make better flights,” said Los Angeles World Airports Executive Director Gina Marie Lindsey. “And with the opening of LAX Beach, we are going to see a lot more happy children on our international flights.”

There are likely going to be a lot more happy adults seated around those children on international flights as well with LAX Beach appearing in the international terminal.

The play space — the first children’s play area in any LAX terminal — was built for the Los Angeles World Airports by terminal management company Westfield for $350,000. In addition to the beach-themed foam pieces, there’s a slide, an interactive light table and lifesavers for children to crawl through.

The nearby seating overlooking the space offers a place for parents to relax and keep an eye on their kids.

“Having a kid-centric place where kids can work off a bit of energy can be a real lifesaver,” said Rowan Kelleher. “The beach theme attempts to offer a sense of place, too, which is nice.”

Abhi Arora used to be in the tech field. Like so many people, he sat at a desk all day, staring at a screen. Due to the stress of always staying indoors and in front of a computer, he started getting anxiety issues. To recharge and refresh, he visited a local garden in California. He noticed the shift in his mood, emotions, and improvement in his mental health overall during each visit.

He now runs Sarvodaya Farms in Pomona, Califomia. "Rishi and I met an old man who was healing himself and his son through the power of gardens. It was then that I realized that we could help others feel the same connection to the healing power of gardens," Arora says. The two co-founded Healing Gardens, an online marketplace where people can rent their organic urban gardens or farms for use by the hour.

“I've always had a love for plants and wildlife, so with Healing Gardens we want to bring easy access to the wellness benefits of nature to our community and at the same time do our part in regenerating our planet." Arora says.

26、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。续写的词数应为150左右。

Jane, a lovely girl, had a very sweet family. Although the second oldest, Jane had the least self - control, and had hard times trying to control her bad temper, which was continually getting her into trouble. Poor Jane tried desperately to be better, but her inner enemy was always ready to flame up and defeat her, and her mother was always the first to come to her rescue.

Jane had just finished the draft of her first book, which was regarded as a pride of the whole family, expecting it was good enough to print. To celebrate this big event, Jane and the other two sisters planned to go to the theatre to see The Seven Castles. They didn't want to take Amy, the youngest, with them. Seeing that they were leaving, Amy begged them not to leave her alone and even offered to buy her own ticket herself, but in vain. “You can't sit with us, for our seats are reserved, and you mustn't sit alone, and that will spoil our pleasure,” scolded Jane, crosser than ever. Sitting on the floor, Amy began to cry.

The girls hurried down, leaving their sister crying. Amy forgot her grown - up ways, and acted like a spoilt child. She called over the banisters (扶手), in a threatening tone, “You'll be sorry for this, Jane March; see if you aren't.” “You dare!?” said Jane, slamming the door.

They had a happy time, for The Seven Castles was as brilliant and wonderful as heart could wish. But, in spite of the gorgeous princes and princesses, Jane's pleasure had a drop of bitterness in it. The fairy queen's yellow hair reminded her of Amy with wondering what her sister would do to make her “Sorry for it.”

When they got home, Jane found Amy reading in the sitting room. Jane assumed an injured air as they came in but everything was in its place. Jane decided that Amy had forgiven and forgotten her wrongs.

Jane was mistaken, for the next day she found her book missing.
