21、Slowing down was the last thing on Elaine Schaefer's mind when she turned 70 last year. She'd enjoyed an ambitious travel schedule for the previous decade. She didn't feel too old to travel.

Yet many people are asking that slightly embarrassing question: Can you be too old to travel? The travel industry has already responded. Try renting a car in Europe, for example. In Croatia, Schaefer wouldn't be able to this year, because the maximum age is 70. Insurance companies require higher rates; tour operators limit certain activities. That feels like a " no" for many travelers.

Definitely some folks should think twice before traveling, but not only based on their age. It's their level of fitness, says Kirsten Veldman, a former tour guide who now edits a retirement blog. She recalls a 93-year-old who was disabled and traveling alone on a Caribbean tour. "You can't expect to ask a tour leader to be there for you 24/7 for medical care. " she says. "Tour guides don't have the time, skills, and knowledge for it. So, in this case, my advice is: he shouldn't have traveled with us in this situation. "

But some tour operators serve older travelers. For example, Grand Circle Travel started in 1958 to serve senior members. “We have travelers into their 80s and even 90s. Some travel as a couple and some alone,” says company spokeswoman Ann Shannon. “We have no age limit.”

If you ask travel experts, they'll tell you that age is just a number. It's a question of physical, and to a certain extent, mental ability. "Many of our travelers are retired, focused on keeping their good health, and are experienced travelers who have a good idea of what to expect, "says Sara Baer-Sinnott, president of Oldways, a food and nutrition nonprofit that operates tours. "Someone in their 40's may struggle more than someone in their 80s. "

【1】What is expected if Schaefer travels in Croatia this year?

A．She can rent a car to go around.

B．She has to pay more insurance fees.

C．She can join in all kinds of activities.

D．She will receive 24/7 medical care.

【2】What caused Veldman to disapprove of the 93-year-old's traveling?

A．His old age.

B．His lack of money.

C．His poor health.

D．His in sociable personality.

【3】What do we know about Grand Circle Travel?

A．It is a non-profit traveling organization.

B．It offers service to a wide range of travelers.

C．It has a history of more than seven decades.

D．Its main customers are senior travelers.

【4】What is the authors altitude towards traveling old?

A．Opposed.

B．Supportive.

C．Tolerant.

D．Objective.

22、   Is your teen bored after school? Perhaps it’s time to consider signing up for an activity. Here are some for young teenagers to participate in after school.

MUSIC AND ARTS

For your child, growing into a young adult may be all about changes. They may start to feel awkward while expressing new tastes and styles.

Luckily, music and arts offer great outlets to help channel their energy and frustrations in a creative method. Not to mention, they both strengthen creative thinking and math skills which can help build on all their subjects.

SPORTS

Participating in sports is much more than just losing weight. For most teens, there are plenty of sports-based activities for boys and girls after school. With sports programs, there are plenty of chances for teens to work together while building strength and leadership skills in co-operation.

If your teenager’s school doesn’t offer school clubs, you can always try the local parks and recreation department activities.

TUTOR OR OTHER AFTER-SCHOOL JOBS

What’s better than learning in school? Helping other students learn. If your kid has a good command of certain school subjects, it may be a great choice for them to help tutor younger students in their off time, getting some income.

If tutoring is not your child’s strong suit, consider helping them apply for an after-school job. These jobs help teens learn real world skills and they look great on college applications.

VOLUNTEER WORK

Volunteer work is constantly on the rise with plenty of chances for your teen to get involved. Working on volunteer projects will not only give your child a positive sense of accomplishment but also provide beneficial experiences for your kid’s college application to help the approval process.

From packing food at the local food storage to walking animals at a local animal center, there are always chances, no matter what your child's interests are. Check with your local town hall for more chances for your teen to participate in.

23、   Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM Speaker ($399.99)

With its long battery life, and incredible sound quality, this is currently my favorite Bluetooth speaker. The HYPERBOOM also boasts a 24-hour battery life. I use this speaker in place of a home stereo (立体声音响) for music. Ifs loud enough to fill a large room and mobile enough to take from room to room. The app allows you to switch sources, adjust the volume (音量), and even power the speaker on or off without having to get up!

I love the way this portable Bluetooth speaker looks in our kitchen. The sound quality is incredible.

24、A new study, published this week in the journal Frontiers in Veterinary Science, reveals that non-human animals' tears are not so different from our own. The chemical similarities are so great, in fact, that the composition of other species' tears—and how they're adapted to their environments-may provide insights into better treatments for human eye disease.

Previously, scientists had studied closely only the tears of a handful of mammals, including humans, dogs, horses, camels, and monkeys. In the new study, Brazilian veterinarians analyzed the tears of reptiles and birds for the first time , focusing on seven species.

Tears, which are released from tear tubes, form a film over the eye that's composed of three ingredients: mucus, waler, and oil. The mucus coats the eyes surface and helps to attach the film to the eye, the water is a natural salty solution containing crucial proteins and minerals, and the oil prevents the eye from drying out.

Humans are the only known species to produce emotional tears; the expression "crocodile tears," which refers to a person's phony display of emotion, comes from the mysterious tendency of crocodiles to release tears as they eat.

But tears play key roles beyond weeping, notes Lionel Sebbag at Iowa State University, who was not involved in the new research. They help with vision by lubricating and clearing the eye. They also protect the eye against infection and provide nutrition to the cornea, the eye's clear outer layer, which lacks blood tubes, he says.

Learning how reptiles and birds' use tears may also inspire new medications for conditions such as dry eye, which occurs when tear tubes don't produce enough oil. The disease, common in cats, dogs, and people, can sometimes lead to blindness.

【1】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The source of tears.

B．The composition of tears.

C．The classification of tears,

D．The definition of tears.

【2】What does the underlined word "phony” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Tricky.

B．Regretful.

C．Cold.

D．False.

【3】Which statement does Lionel Sebbag agree with?

A．Weeping contributes to eye disease.

B．The cornea has rich blood tubes.

C．Tears oil and clear the eyes.

D．More tears mean better vision.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．Tears, a barrier to eyes

B．A better treatment for eye disease

C．Non-human tears promise new cures

D．Other species’ tears are similar to humans'
