The Junction Campground
The Junction Campground is a great spot for river-based camping along one of Australia’s best-known
rivers, near Grafton. Paddling the beautiful Nymboida River is a great way to explore the rainforest—lined
riverbanks and rocky cliffs of Nymboi—Binderay National Park.
Craigmhor Mountain Retreat
Set in 1,000 acres of wilderness, Craigmhor is a perfect base for bush walking, mountain biking, fishing,
and bird watching. Within easy driving distance of Sydney, Graigmhor is the ideal location for overseas visitors
or urban people to experience the Australian bush.
The Stone Cottage
Said to be Albury’s oldest house, the Stone Cottage warmly welcomes visitors with its exposed stone walls
and an open fireplace. Set well back from the street in a spacious enclosed garden (ideal for pets), the
two-bedroom self-contained house is perfect for small families and couples.
Located behind the main home, the Stone Cottage’s Kitchen Cottage turns on the charm as much as the
larger house. Private from the main house, the one-bedroom self-contained cottage has a veranda (游廊）which
looks out over an established herb garden, ideal for couples.
Instead of asking guests to wake at a certain time for a prepared breakfast, guests of both cottages receive a
selection of breakfast cuisines as they like, allowing sleep-ins and lazy mornings.
Pets are welcome.
Country Barn Retreat
Situated in a peaceful location and perfect for short stays, Elaine and John offer this amazing self-contained
two-bedroom Country Barn Retreat, overlooking rural views and surrounded by lovely gardens.
Sleeping up to four adults in this comfortable cottage where you can relax by the cosy wood fire in winter.
Fully equipped kitchen. Lounge and dining area with air-conditioning and fans to keep it cool in summer.

In 2018, a severe drought brought Cape Town close to “Day Zero”, when it could have become the world’s
first major city to run out of water. Dam levels in South Africa’s Western Cape fell to below a fifth of capacity
and the province suffered its worst water crisis in 100 years.
“The water supply was dwindling and it just wasn’t raining,” recalls Thinus Booysen, a professor at
Stellenbosch University, who had created a device in 2015 designed to help homeowners cut their power usage.
Seeking to reduce water waste, Booysen figured he could adapt the device to measure water usage instead of
electricity use.
Soon, Booysen launched a start-up, Bridging the Internet of Things (BridgIoT), to develop his idea. Called
Count Dropula, the device reports water usage once a minute while many conventional devices only record data
once an hour. The system uses an app in the user’s cellphone and sends short messages in real time. “Within
minutes, we would be able to tell the user, ‘Something has burst , or something is leaking,’ ” he says.
Then Booysen discovered that a key issue was maintenance (维修), with the poorest schools using by far
the most water. Leaking toilets could waste 1,000 liters of water per day. “We found that the biggest problems
are things like children not closing taps properly, but often that would be because the taps just don’t close,”
Booysen explains. During the test, the invention saved one school more than three million liters of water in three
months. Another reduced its water usage 55 percent in four months.
Businesses including Cape Talk radio station and Africa’s largest food company, Shoprite, became
sponsors, partnering with the Western Cape Education Department to install (安装) the devices in 350 schools.
They saved more than $2.7 million and almost 550 million liters of water in 17 months. Booysen has looked at
expanding to government buildings, hospitals and hotels. There are plans to roll out the device across Africa.
24. What does the underlined word “dwindling” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Beginning. B. Continuing.
C. Expanding. D. Decreasing.
25. Which words can best describe Booysen?
A. Proud but determined. B. Cautious and friendly.
C. Creative and caring. D. Strict but generous.
26. What do we know about Count Dropula?
A. It works smartly to help save water. B. It was designed by Booysen in 2015.
C. It will soon be tested in 350 schools. D. It cuts power usage efficiently.
27. What will Booysen probably do next?
A. Become a member of Shoprite. B. Further promote his new invention.
C. Stop water pollution in Cape Town. D. Travel around Africa for better ideas.

Recently, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an artificial intelligence (AI) tool,
called MusicLM, built to create music. It is not the first AI music tool to launch. But the examples Google
provides demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. AI shows how
complex computer systems have been trained to behave in human-like ways. Google engineers explain the
MusicLM system this way:
