Explorers Camp

•Full day camp for kids aged 5-13.

Camp Structure

The day is divided into two thematic sessions per age group. Campers have a three-hour morning class

engaging with a morning theme (9am to 12 noon) and a one-hour lunch break, followed by another three-hour class

engaging with an afternoon theme (1pm to 4pm). Snack periods are held throughout the day. All campers should

bring their own bagged lunch and snacks.

Camp Content

Explorers Camp organizes engaging arts, history and science-related activities in every! class, and focuses on

a range of topics that emphasize active learning, exploration and, most of all, fun! All camp sessions are created

with age-appropriate activities that are tailored to the multiple ways that kids learn.

Camp Staff

Campers enjoy a staff-to-child ratio ranging from 1:4 to 1:7 depending on the age group. Instructors are

Live with roommates? Have friends and family around you? Chances are that if you’re looking to live a more

sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready to jump on that bandwagon.

I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my

parents, and I continue to experience this with my husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. I’ve learned

a few things along the way though, which I hope you’ll find encouraging if you’re doing your best to figure out

how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.

Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years back. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea

Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days

later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to

carry jars everywhere. It came off as a bit discouraging.

Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my

own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didn’t need. Since I had my own toiletries ( 洗漱用品), I was able

to start personalising my routine to be more sustainable. I also offered to cook every so often, so I portioned out a

bit of the cupboard for my own zero waste groceries. Perhaps your household won’t entirely make the switch, but

you may have some control over your own personal spaces to make the changes you desire.

As you make your lifestyle changes, you may find yourself wanting to speak up for yourself if others comment

on what you’re doing, which can turn itself into a whole household debate. If you have individuals who are not on

board, your words probably won’t do much and can often leave you feeling more discouraged.

So here is my advice: Lead by action.

4. What do the underlined words “jump on that bandwagon” mean in the first paragraph?

A. Share an apartment with you. B. Join you in what you’re doing.

C. Transform your way of living. D. Help you to make the decision.

5. What was the attitude of the author’s father toward buying groceries with jars?

A. He disapproved of it. B. He was favorable to it.

C. He was tolerant of it. D. He didn’t care about it.

6. What can we infer about the author?

A. She is quite good at cooking. B. She respects others’ privacy.

C. She enjoys being a housewife. D. She is a determined person.

7. What is the text mainly about?

A. How to get on well with other family members.

B. How to have one’s own personal space at home.

C. How to live a zero waste lifestyle in a household.

D. How to control the budget when buying groceries.

Even though water covers about 71 percent of the Earth’s surface, not all of it is safe to drink. In fact, less than

three percent is fresh water, according to the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Most of the water is contained

in the oceans and must be desalinated (脱盐)for use. Now researchers from MIT have developed a suitcase-sized

desalination device that could be used to produce clean drinking water.

The new portable device produces water that actually goes beyond the World Health Organization standards

just by pushing a button, according to a press release from MIT. There are no filters required. The device

eliminates the need for repeatedly checking or repairing it.

Now most available portable desalination units use filters that require high-pressure pumps to push the water,

which makes them heavier and less energy efficient. The filterless feature of the new device will allow it to be used

in faraway places or places with limited resources like small islands and ships, and even for emergencies.

“This is really the highest point of a 10-year journey that I and my group have been on. We worked for years

on the physics behind individual desalination processes, but pushing all those advances into a box, building a

system, and testing it in the ocean were really meaningful experiences for me,” says Jongyoon Han, the senior

author of the study.

After the researchers ran tests in the lab, the device was ready for field tests. At Boston’s Carson Beach, the

device filled a plastic drinking cup with clear, drinkable water in just half an hour. Now the researchers are still

working on a final design that could use cheaper materials so that it can be available to the general public, and a

new model of the device could be ready by the end of 2022. This small but powerful desalination unit may be the

key to bringing safe water to a thirsty world.

8. What does the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Proves. B. Creates. C. Satisfies. D. Removes.

9. What can we infer about the device from Paragraph 3?

A. It allows high production of clean water. B. It makes a breakthrough in application

C. It may provide power for faraway places D. It can replace most desalination devices.

10. What do Jongyoon Han’s words suggest?
