2 . Leave-No-Trace Camping

For those of us who love spending time in the great outdoors, wild spaces are very special. These are places we visit to recharge, or to fill our hearts with natural beauty.    1    If you feel this way, then you’re the perfect person to promote and practice Leave-No-Trace camping.

Its principles are to treat the wilderness the way a decent visitor would and leave everything just as you found it, with no evidence that you passed through.    2    That’s because your visit makes a minimal impact on the environment.

You can carry out these ideals in a number of ways. Begin by packing out all your litter. Whenever you go camping, take an empty trash bag with you and put all garbage into the bag. In addition, try not to damage vegetation.    3    Wherever you go, think about what your heavy shoes or boots are doing to the plants underneath and try to keep damage to a minimum.

It’s also important that you should not take things away from the wilderness. Rocks, plants, flowers and seashells are all part of the natural landscape.    4    Plus, many animals find homes and food in abandoned shells and flower-heads, and these are things they would miss if you collected them.

Leave-No-Trace camping is about being respectful and thoughtful. It’s about honoring the natural world and the creatures that live in it. If you love seeing an untouched mountain stream or a lovely field of wildflowers, then you’ve already taken the first step.    5    

A．This means not stepping into a wild animal’s space.

B．This is also called “low impact” or “no impact” camping.

C．Once taken away, they won’t be there for others to enjoy.

D．An increasing number of people take up camping in the wilderness.

E．When you put up your tent, try to find a place that’s already bare of plants.

F．We hate to see them littered with rubbish or any reminders of previous visitors.

G．Follow these basic practices and you can be models of the Leave-No-Trace philosophy.

8 . Ellie Hamby, a documentary photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician and lecturer, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the beaches of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.

Their first stop was Antarctica. They got to the southernmost continent after crossing the Drake Passage, the rough waters between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica’s South Shetland Islands. Since that first adventure, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.

Hazelip said she came across Hamby after her husband died in 1999. Before his death, he “planted the seed in my heart that we should start taking our grandsons on trips in the summer,” she said. This led her to the Zambia Medical Mission, a project run by Hamby and her husband in southern Africa.

The two bonded because both of them loved travelling and were committed to prioritizing unique experiences over comfort while abroad. Both became closer after Hamby’s husband died in 2005.

Hazelip said the idea for their trip originated a few years before they were each set to turn 80. “I just got the idea because we’d traveled previously together internationally,” she said. “And so about four years before we were going to turn 80, I mentioned to her one day, ‘Ellie, wouldn’t it be fun to go around the world in 80 days at age 80?’”

Over the past eighty days, the pair have ridden camels in Egypt, met elephants in Bali, danced in Nepal, and observed the Northern Lights in Finland. And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends said they finished their trip without any arguments.

Although Hamby and Hazelip have finished their worldly adventure and returned home to Texas, the two are already planning for their next trip. And they encouraged other older travelers not to let age hold them back. Aside from some small things—like deciding not to ride a motorbike in Bali because of concerns about falling—they said their age didn’t affect their travel abroad.

1. Why did Hazelip go to Zambia?

A．To meet Hamby.	B．To run a project.
C．To live out a wish.	D．To train herself.

2. What made Hamby and Hazelip become friends?

A．Their shared interest.	B．Their loss of a loved one.
C．Their unique experiences.	D．Their commitment to help.

3. What do we know about the two’s trip around the world?

A．It took them four years to finish it.

B．They met with some troubles on the trip.

C．It made them not like traveling any longer.

D．They joined in motorcycle races along the way.

4. What does Hamby and Hazelip’s trip suggest?

A．One is never too old to make friends.	B．Life is a journey full of adventures.
C．Getting old helps experience adventure.	D．Adventure doesn’t have an age limit.

9 . What does the man visit foreign countries mainly for?
