【题目】 We’ve probably all met someone who likes to show off about where he or she has been. To some people, traveling is all about how many places one has been to. But luckily, the old “been there, seen that” mode is changing.

Last year’s travel trend (趋势) was “experiential travel”. This is where tourists look for ways to get to know local culture and meet local people so they feel less like an outsider.

So what about this year? Can creative tourists get even more out of their traveling experience?

Transformative travel

Transformative (起改变作用的) travel is much like “experiential travel”, but takes it a step further.

It usually goes through three steps – you go to a place that has a very different background from where you live, you learn wisdom from the new culture and the people you meet, and finally you go back home and use the knowledge in your own lives. This last step is how the “transformation” is completed and what separates transformative travel from experiential travel.

Go green

One way to plan a green trip is to travel a shorter distance, which can reduce your carbon footprint (碳排放量). “One trans-Atlantic flight equals a year’s worth of driving, so taking a trip in this way can help protect the environment,” suggested Warren, according to US News.

Another way to go green in your travel plans is to choose a place that will be helped most from your trip. For example, places like Nepal will enjoy an increase in its local economy (经济) through the trip.

Disappearing sights

Some sights at risk of disappearing are also welcoming an increasing number of tourists.

Everett Potter, a USA Today writer, says that the Arctic and Antarctic have attracted more and more tourists since they are being greatly influenced by climate (气候) change.

Another top sight is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It’s believed that the reef will be seriously harmed in just a few years because of pollution and global warming. Travelers look forward to seeing the coral (珊瑚) “before it’s gone or completely changed”, Potter told US News.

【题目】 Like many other countries around the world, China hopes to explore the moon. It has already done so with several probes(探测器) and lunar rover(月球车). But it has even bigger plans to put a man on the moon in the near future.

Yang Liwei, China's first man in space, said that it will "not take long" for a manned mission(任务)to get offcial agreement and money support, according to the Xinhua News Agency.

China's space programme is still young compared to those of the United States and Russia. But it has already made great achievements in exploring the moon. Its moon mission began with Chang'e 1, an unmanned orbital(轨道)probe that was sent up in October,2007. It collected data that was used to create a 3-D map of the moon's surface.

China achieved another achievement with the Chang'e 3 mission. For this mission, China's first lunar rover, Yutu, successfully landed on the moon.

For China's space programme, it was another great achievement that Chang'e 4, the second lunar rover successfully landed on the moon's far side, an area that has not yet been explored, in December, 2018.

China will follow Chang'e 4 with a series of other lunar mission. These missions will include taking lunar soil and rock samples, building "moon base, and hopefully landing a human on the moon's surface around 2030, according to Zhao Xiaojin, a senior official at the China Academy of Space Technology.

Last year, when Yang Liwei was asked if he had any plans to visit the moon himself, he replied, "If I am given the chance, no problem!" It is likely that many other Chinese share Yang's excitement about this new stage of China's space exploration efforts.
