If you’re traveling with your family and looking for great fun in Iceland, check this list of family-friendly

tours. These tours help you make the best of your family vacation.

Ice caving tour on Langjokull Glacier （冰川）

On this Langjokull Glacier tour, explore the world’s largest man-made ice cave. A 20-ton monster truck will

take you to the entrance of the cave, located close to the top of the glacier. Then hike through the 500m long ice

tunnel with separate frozen halls and admire brilliant blue ice formations. You’ll dream about this ice cave

experience for years to come!

Whale watching tour from Reykjavik

Hit the high seas on a Dalvik whale watching tour. Witness humpback whales, blue whales, minke whales and

even dolphins! In true Icelandic fashion, you will get the chance to try your hand at sea fishing. Your fresh catch

will be barbequed Icelandic-style when the tour ends, the perfect way to wrap up the day.

River rafting （漂流） down Gullfoss Canyon.

Whether you’re an expert or beginner, Iceland’s white waters attract people of all skill levels. Your tour begins

at Drumboddsstadir, continues down the Hvita River and ends in Bruarhlod Canyon, located at the foothills of

Gullfoss Waterfall. The waters will lead you past a water-carved gorge and over a few steep rapids on an

unforgettable adventure of a lifetime.

Old farm hike

On this tour we’ll be aiming for the old abandoned farm at Kleif—watching out for the Arctic wildlife that

lives in the area, including reindeer and plenty of birds. Upon arrival, we’ll go on a fully guided tour of the farm

and hear stories of how Icelanders managed to survive in this unfriendly place. Finally, we’ll enjoy some warming

refreshments at the farm after an educational day in the wilderness.

When Bella Lin was 12 years old, she noticed that her guinea pigs （豚鼠） seemed unhappy in their small

cage with “prison-like bars”, Lin told the CNBC Make It website. Focusing on finding an alternative to traditional

cages for her pets, the now 17-year-old from Mountain View, US, began her designs.

Lin experimented with multiple designs and used around $2,000 from her savings to start her side business,

Guinea Loft, on Amazon in November 2022. It made a big difference and sold nearly 11,000 cages and brought in

more than $410,000 in 2023, according to CNBC Make It.

Initially, Lin informed her father of her desire to develop an improved cage. Her father had relations with a

family-owned factory in China through a previous client, and he reached out to them.

Traditional guinea pig cages typically consist of bars, roofs, and either tarp （防水布） or plastic bottoms,

making them hard to clean and often smell bad. Lin’s initial glass, open-floor cages offered more visibility and

mobility, with a two-layered bottom. This design allows for the easy removal of soiled bedding by pushing it into a

removable plastic tray （托盘）. However, due to high shipping costs, the glass material was impractical, and the

open floor caused problems for her smaller guinea pigs, as their feet would get stuck.

Lin and her six-person team in China devoted late nights to researching and testing products. Her team

handled the sourcing, manufacturing, packaging and photography of the products. In the end, they chose acrylic,

instead of glass, and crafted replaceable bottoms, as Lin described it. The bottoms are easy to throw out, which is

good for business: Once customers run out of the bottoms, they have to visit Lin’s Amazon store again to restock.

“Witnessing the practical effects of Guinea Loft cages through customer reviews and emails is empowering,”

Lin said. “As someone who once placed great emphasis on academic recognition, the success of my side business

has boosted my confidence in exploring life beyond high school.”

（）4．What inspired Lin to design a new cage for guinea pigs?

A．The huge profits in her business. B．Their bad living conditions.

C．Her unpleasant experience at school. D．Her desire to replace old cages.

（）5．What is a major advantage of Lin’s new cage?

A．It is waterproof. B．It lasts long. C．It is easy to clean. D．It smells nice.

（）6．How does Lin sound in the last paragraph?

A．Humorous. B．Concerned. C．Encouraged. D．Curious.

（）7．What may be a suitable title for the text?

A．Inventing for Our Pets B．Running a Side Business

C．Bella Lin’s Academic Achievements D．The Application of Guinea Pig Cages

Disabled astronauts-in-training have completed a zero-gravity flight 25,000ft above Earth to help understand

how spacesuits and spaceships can be made more accessible.

The group of 14, who were from five different countries, including Australia, Brazil, Germany, Spain and the

US, was made up of scientists, engineers and doctors. They have mobility, vision and hearing difficulties.

The groundbreaking trip, organized by AstroAccess, happened on a Zero-G aircraft in Houston, Texas. It came

just weeks after the European Space Agency (ESA) announced that former Paralympian runner, John McFall,

would be part of the 2022 ESA Astronaut Class. The mission took off and landed at Ellington Airport, next to the

Houston Spaceport and the NASA Johnson Space center —home to the US human spaceflight training.

On climbing to a height of 25,000ft, the vehicle began 18 parabolic manoeuvres （抛物线演习）, allowing

the crews to test out what was needed to make trips to space more accessible for those with disabilities.

One group tested a set of tactile graphics （触觉图形） to be added to cabin walls that would allow both

blind crew members and short-sighted crew members to maintain a sense of direction during emergencies and help

them find emergency device in zero gravity if the lights went off. Those working with the Blind and Mobility Crew

were able to demonstrate that a disabled person can independently get into a launch seat and safely fasten the five-

point seat belt, proving that disabled people can safely join space missions. The hard-of-hearing and blind crews

worked with Sony and Sonic Cloud to help improve speech understanding systems onboard, using Sonic Cloud’s

innovative sound personalization software.

Matt Gohd, CEO of Zero-G Corporation said: “From our time with Steven Hawking to our relationship with

AstroAccess, Zero-G believes that the only limits you have are the ones you place on yourself. We are honored to

share this amazing experience and the first steps to space with this extraordinary group of individuals. Space should

be open to everyone.”

（）8．What is the idea behind the flight?

A．Space travel can be accessible to everyone.

B．Space travel will become a popular industry.

C．Space travel can develop a spirit of adventure.

D．Space travel will be good for universe exploration.

（）9．What was special about the flight?

A．It had a former athlete on board. B．It was designed for disabled people.

C．It was the first zero-gravity flight ever. D．It got financial aid from different countries.

（）10．Why were the tests conducted?

A．To make preparations for the flight.

B．To enhance speech understanding systems.

C．To better the skills of the disabled in using launch seats.

D．To evaluate the possibility of space travel for the disabled.

（）11．What message is conveyed in Matt Gohd’s words?

A．Great minds think alike. B．Unity is strength.

C．Actions speak louder than words. D．Anything is possible.

While it’s impossible to predict just where the next wildfire will start, new Department of Defense-sponsored

research from Brigham Young University’s Fire Research Lab is getting into the microscopic details of how fires
