22、Planning a family trip? Let the professionals handle it.
In the ever-evolving world of travel, using a travel professional to decode your family vacation options can really pay off. Here are several things to bear in mind:

Before the pandemic, planning a vacation took time, knowledge, patience and perseverance. While the pace of change has slowed, keeping track of the global landscape can still be incredible. 【1】 He or she uses his or her experience and skills to make even the most complicated travel schedule a reality.
Know how it works.
【2】 Some get paid by travel suppliers such as a hotel or restaurant. Others charge consulting fees sometimes determined by the number of people traveling and the complexity of the trip. Still, others rely on a combination of both. Families also benefit from top agents’ access to upgrades and value-added options. Should your trip take an unwelcome turn, a good agent will have your back to help with canceled flights, health challenges or the need for a last-minute shift in the travel schedule.

Spend your time well.
Whether you’re traveling with the kids or with the extended family for a milestone birthday or anniversary celebration, you no doubt hope to return with treasured memories rather than tales of a trip gone wrong. 【5】

23、 “Even though one out of three American children live within a mile of their schools, almost not half of those students often bike or walk to class,” scientists report.
“Children who live in the South, in country are-as, or who have college-educated parents, are among those least likely to bike or walk to school,” notes the report, which was published in July.
Sarah Martin and her workmates at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP) studied materials from more than 7,000 children be-tween 9 and 15 years of age.
They found that almost 35 percent of the children lived within one mile of their schools. Children between 11 and 13 years old were more likely to walk or bike than 9-year-olds. Children whose parents had a high school education were more likely to bike or walk than children with college-educated parents.
“The majority of children are missing an opportunity to increase daily physical activity,” Martin said in a prepared statement.
According to the CDCP, nearly one in five(18.8 percent) children between 6 and 11 years old are overweight(超重的). Increasing daily physical activity is one of the methods the CDCP gives to help deal with obesity(肥胖) in children.
Martin said that there are all kinds of reasons why children in city areas might be more likely to bike or walk. He said the fact is that schools in city areas may be in mixed-use neighborhoods where it is more likely to bike or walk, compared with other places where there may be fewer safe sidewalks.
【1】What did Sarah Martin and her workmates find in the research?
A.Younger children would like to bike or walk to school.
B.Older children are much stronger than younger children.
C.Kids whose parents received less education walk more.
D.Some children are becoming much lazier than others
【2】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Children should receive a better education.
B.Some children don't bike or walk because there are fewer safe sidewalks.
C.It is unnecessary for children to walk to school.
D.Children in country areas have more chances to bike or walk than those in cities.
【3】What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?
A.Education.
B.Culture.
C.Sports.
D.Health.
24、 Rainforest is scattered along Australia’s east coast in western Tasmania, and small pockets across north Australia from Cape York to the Kimberley. Most of Australia’s rainforest-over million hectares -is in Queensland.
Where can see rainforest?
You can see rainforest in many national parks in Queensland. Some parks have facilities for bushwalking; others are suitable only for experienced walkers. If you would like to know more about rainforest, check with your local Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Office.
Threats to survival
Weeds, fire, wild animals(pigs, dogs and cats), clearing for residential development, and visitor pressures(eg. littering)threaten remaining rainforest biodiversity.
Fragmented rainforest is particularly under threat. Private landholders who have rainforest habitat on their property can help conserve this special ecosystem and the many plant and animal species living within it.
How you can help
Stay on walking tracks. Delicate ground cover plants are easily trampled.
Clean your boots beforehand to avoid introducing soil virus.
Remember, everything is protected. Don’t pick, break or remove any plants.
Don’t feed native animals. Feeding is harmful and may lead to aggressive behavior.
Leave the rainforest as you found it. Take your rubbish home with you. Buried rubbish uncovered by forest animals can harm them.
Leave your pets at home. They are not allowed in national parks and can chase, scare and kill animals.
If you camp within the park, disturb the forest floor as little as possible. Don’t cut trees for tent poles or clear plants around your campsite.
Only use fuel stoves when cooking in rainforests Nutrient recycling is critical in a rainforest so gathering leaf litter and dead branches for fires can cause damage.
Don’t use soap, toothpaste, sunscreen or detergent in waterways. They pollute the water and harm aquatic animals.
【1】How can you appreciate the rainforest in Queensland?
A.By building facilities in the national parks.
B.By accumulating experience of walking.
C.By bushwalking in the national parks.
D.By checking with the local people.
【2】Which of the following contributes to the conservation if you are in the rainforest?
A.Gathering dead branches for firewood.
B.Cleaning your boots while walking.
C.Burying rubbish in the rainforest.
D.Keeping on the paths.
【3】What is forbidden in the rainforest?
A.Camping.
B.Cooking.
C.Walking your dog.
D.Washing your hands.
