【推荐2】Travel and illness go hand in hand. How many times have you been on the road or traveling by plane and within a three-day time the flu comes knocking?       1    Ways to prevent? Like all good things having a set list or ingredients to fight against getting sick while travelling is necessary.

Take Your Herbs (药草) With You.

By all means, you can pack your vitamins but, also pack those herbs.     2       herbs have been studied to show an improved immunity (免疫力) of a person who suffers from respiratory (呼吸道的) infections too. A great herb to have on a hand (especially if you intend trying a new restaurant) will help settle that upset digestive track. (消化道).

Do Not Ignore Symptoms

    3     This bitter spice (苦涩的香草) can save several days spent in misery. However, sometimes we have to travel for business, so postponing (拖延)is looked down upon. If this is the case, check your insurance coverage when it comes domestic and international traveling. This is cautious move when it comes to needing medical assistance while traveling.

    4    

Walking around the city, running, or exercise of some sort will help fight off travel illnesses. We would all like to walk around for an entire week, but be sure to clock in some exercises or low cardio action action (有氧运动). Cardio helps our immunities to stay in shape and traveling can be a bit dangerous on that front. There is a lot of waiting around, so take that little extra time to jog in place or run.

Pack Vitamins

This is an easy one to forget. As a last minute check, pack some vitamins you nearly take at home. Just because traveling doesn’t mean you get a back seat to when it comes to the flu.    5    

A.Is there anything to be done?
B.Movement keeps you healthy.
C.Swimming is a good kind of exercise.
D.Don’t   take too many things while traveling.
E.But the vitamins you take will be helpful to your cold.
F.Andrographis paniculata (穿心莲) has been known to treat bacterial infections.
G.Before traveling, if symptoms start to show, postpone traveling if possible.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。文章是关于一个有关低碳生活的试验,讲述为了将Astypalea岛屿打造成希腊第一个无碳旅游地,大众汽车和政府合作采取的措施及其存在的问题。

【推荐3】A butterfly-shaped island in the central Aegean hopes to become Greece’s first carbon-free tourist destination.Under a deal with the government, Volkswagen, a carmaker, has donated several new electric vehicles for use by Astypalea’s public services; it will sell others at cost price to its 1,200 year-round residents. In return, the government has offered more financial assistance for islanders to buy electric cars and will build a solar and wind-fuelled power plant to replace polluting generators.

Unlike other nearby islands, Astypalea is not connected to Greece’s electricity providers. With only 3,000 rooms for visitors in small hotels or flats, tourism is still low-key. Many residents make a living the old-fashioned way: raising goats, keeping bees and fishing. The island was selected for Volkswagen’s experiment after Nikos Komineas,the go-ahead mayor, contacted the transport ministry for help in finding an electric bus to try out on its rough roads.

Most islanders sound keen on the project. Mr Komineas expects the number of private cars on Astypalea to fall by a third over the next five years. Its residents, he says, will get around on electric minibuses, which will be free,linked to a mobile-phone app and available round the clock.

Some observers smell greenwashing in the project. A bid for a solar park that would generate half the island’s electricity within three years will not get under way before the tourist season ends. A single wind-fuelled engine will be set up only in 2026, assuming the licensing process goes smoothly. That is not normally the case in the Aegean, where islanders worry that tourists will go elsewhere if the view is spoiled by an engine 200 meters high. And even then, the solar and wind-fulled power unit is planned to cover only about 80% of summer demand. But it is a start.

1. Why has Volkswagen signed the deal with the government?
A.To control car prices.B.To help generate electricity.
C.To promote public transport.D.To build a zero-carbon island.
2. What makes Astypalea different from other nearby islands?
A.It has an aggressive leader.B.It is out of the national electricity network.
C.It is a crowded tourist destination.D.It has various goats, bees and fishes.
3. The underlined word “green washing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A.an island with few touristsB.a process with little support
C.an engine with no polluting fuelD.a strategy with no meaningful changes
4. What does the author think of the project?
A.It’s pioneering.B.It’s practical.
C.It’s destructive.D.It’s costly.
