Twenty-four trains,nine countries,13,500 miles.
   They are the numbers behind a train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China.Roger Tyers,37,spent a month on board trains and over $ 2,500 — almost three times the cost of a return flight to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic research in May,2019.It was the climate crisis that drove this socialist to choose this complex route.Tyers told CNN that he felt it necessary to stop flying when UN climate experts warned last year that the world has less than 11 years to avoid disastrous levels of global warming.
   Tyers is not the sole person to avoid air travel in response to climate change.Thousands of people worldwide have publicly promised to stop flying,including teenage activist Greta Thunberg,who has inspired youth climate protests around the world.Activist Maja Rosen started the "Flight Free" campaign in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year.
   Rosen,who stopped flying 12 years ago,says the "Flight Free" campaign helps fight the sense of hopelessness many people feel when it comes to dealing with climate change. "One of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do as an individual.The campaign is about making people aware that if we do this together,we can actually make a huge difference," she said.
   A passenger's footprint from an individual flight depends on a number of factors,including how far he flies,how full the plane is,and what class he travels in:First class passengers are given more space than economy passengers,meaning they're responsible for a bigger part of the plane's emissions.Tyers said that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less emissions than a return flight.

  • 1.It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(軍營).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around.Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers.But it was difficult for the young men to go outside.Mr.White,an officer of forty,was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.
       Once Mr.White was ill in bed.He couldn't work and a young officer,Mr.Hunt,began to train the new soldiers instead of him.He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday.But night fell and none came back to the camp.He was worried about it and stood at the gate.It was five to twelve when Mr.Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men.He started the car quickly and set off.At that moment the nine soldiers came back.It seemed they were all drunk.Of course they found the officer was angry.
       "I'm sorry,sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time.But something was wrong with my bus on my way here.I had to buy a horse and made it run fast.Bad luck!It died and I had to run back."
       And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons.It was the last soldier's turn.He said,"I'm sorry,sir.I got on a bus on time,but…"
       Having heard this,the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once.He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus,I'll punish you at once!"
       "No,no,sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right,but the dead horse were in its way!"

  • 2.There is an old saying in Chinese: "To do a good job,one must first sharpen one's tools." When it comes to photography,however,it's not exactly the case.In this year's National Geographic Travel Photo Contest,Greenlandic Winter,a picture by Chinese photographer Chu Weimin,took first place in the cities category and won the overall grand prize as well.
       When asked why he chose Upernavik,a small fishing village in Greenland,to take his pictures,Chu described the first time he spotted the village from an airplane. "Through my entire flight,I could only see the land,covered by pure white ice and snow.But I suddenly saw a big,warm dot in the far distance — Upernavik," he told National Geographic. "The beauty of this tranquil(寧靜的)village was beyond my imagination.It was a 'wow' moment for me." This ability to identify a "wow moment" is what makes a good travel photographer.
       According to Chu,he was moved by Upernavik's blue tint at dusk,the warm yellow light from the windows,and the family of three walking along the snowy street.Although he is a professional photographer,many of Chu's Greenland pictures were shot with his phone.
       This attitude echoes that of Austrian-American photographer Ernest Haas(1921-1986).Haas told his students that they were too obsessed with cameras to understand the essence of photography. "The camera doesn't make a bit of difference," Haas said. "All of them can record what you are seeing.But you have to SEE."
       Perhaps it's not just in photography that we've put too much emphasis on the role of tools.How many of you are reluctant to start a new sport or learn new software simply because you don't yet have the "right" outfit(裝備)or computer?
       It's true that "sharpened" tools make the work easier,hut as reporter Abhilash Pavuluri wrote on Firstpost: "In the end,it's really the artist that makes a good painting,not the paintbrush."

    (1)What do we know about Chu Weimin?

    A.He is better at photographing people than scenery.
    B.His award-winning picture is set in a peaceful village.
    C.His shooting style stands out from other photographers.
    D.He is the first Chinese person to win the National Geographic Photo Contest.
    (2)What's the main purpose of Paragraph 3?

    A.To explain why Chu's picture stands out.
    B.To introduce Chu's love for Upernavik.
    C.To recommend a good place for taking photos.
    D.To describe Chu's inspiration for the winning picture.
    (3)What makes a good photographer,according to Haas?

    A.The ability to find beauty.
    B.Enthusiasm for photography.
    C.Having rich parents.
    D.Owning the best camera equipment.
    (4)The underlined word "reluctant" in paragraph 5 has the closest meaning to
    .
    A.glad
    B.unwilling
    C.confident
    D.supposed
