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 inEurope, for example. InCroatia, 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 aCaribbeantour. "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. "
4. What is expected if Schaefer travels inCroatiathis 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.
5. 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.

Alex Palmer says he'll never forget his 13th birthday, not because of a gift or a party, but fire. “It made me
realize how valuable life is,” said Alex, a seventh grader atMonroeDemonstrationSchoolinTulsa,Oklahoma.
On April 18, Alex and many other kids from his school were riding home on a school bus when they suddenly
saw smoke coming from the bus’ engine. “It was jaw-dropping,” he told reporters.

“One little kid was slowing everyone down with his big backpack, ” eighth grader Destiny Fain said, “so I got it

In Sweden, McDonald’s is building “bee hotels” on the back of its roadside billboards (广告牌) to help save
the country’s decreasing bee population. It launched the campaign together with outdoor advertising giant
JCDecaux. Six large wooden bee hotels, with drilled holes on the front, first appeared on the back of a north-facing
billboard in Jarfalla in September.
“Without pollination (授粉) from bees, a thirdof the food we eat would be threatened.” McDonald’s said. But
it turns out that at least 30 percent of the country’s wild bee population is endangered, according to the fast-food
chain. A big problem is that they lack places to live. Based on data released by Chalmers University of Technology,

For some people, there’s no better companion than mans best friend-a dog. This four-legged pet can bring
comfort and joy and provide much- needed exercise for you when it needs walkies! This probably explains why
dog ownership increased last year because people spent more time at home during he CovID-I9 lockdown.
However, as demand for a new dog increased, so did the price tag. Popular breeds, such as Cockapoos and
Cocker Spaniels, saw even sharper price increases, and puppies have been selling for $3,000 or more.
Animal welfare charities fearthat high prices could encourage puppy farming, smuggling (走私) or dog theft.
An investigation found some breeders have been selling puppies and kittens on social media sites--something

When the sun shines brightly, it provides a great chance to get outdoor things done. Like making hay! At least,
that is what farmers from the past would say. ―Make hay while the sun shines.This idiom is very old, dating back
to Medieval times. Rain would often ruin the process of making hay. So, farmers had no choice but to make hay
when the sun was shining.
Today, we all use this expression, not just farmers. When conditions are perfect to get something done, we
can say, ―It’s a good idea to make hay while the sun shines.In other words, you are taking advantage of a good
situation or of good conditions. You are making the most of your opportunities. These all mean ―making hay
while the sun shines.
And sometimes we use this expression to mean we beat someone to the punch, or we got ahead of someone
