The COVID -19 pandemic has affected all aspects of life, including the way we travel. But for tho who are

looking to expand their horizons while still staying safe, the following three travel trends in 2021 may provide

inspirations. Let’s take a look.

Staycation

With many travel restrictions during the pandemic, people preferred traveling to nearby places in 2020. This

trend continues in 2021. According to arch data, 62 percent of people are interested in taking a vacation within

driving distance of home. People who live in large cities want to get back in touch with nature. Travelers are

looking for places different from their everyday accommodations, for example, farm stays, villas and cottages.

Pod travel

While 2020 saw a ri in solo travel and isolated adventures, 2021 shows that people want to be more

connected. “Pod travel”, or gathering in isolated spaces with loved ones, is growing in popularity. 85 percent of

survey respondents favor traveling with family or friends, and over half of the trips arched include three or more

people. Pod travel is here to stay for tho who want to safely be together while reducing risks associated with

socializing with others.

Remote working and traveling

Many people worked and learned from home in 2020 becau of the pandemic. Remote working blurs the

line between working and traveling. There was a 128 percent increa in the mention of phras such as

“relocation”, “relocate”, “remote work” and “trying a new neighborhood”. People are actively booking longer stays

(e. g. two plus week trips) in small to mid—size cities with access to immersive natural surroundings and

wide—open spaces.

Trees are “social creature” that communicate with each other in cooperative ways that hold lessons for

humans, too, ecologist Suzanne Simard says. Simard grew up in Canadian forests as a child of loggers before

becoming an ecologist. She's now a professor of forest ecology at theUniversityofBritish Columbia.

Trees are linked to neighboring trees by a network of fungi below the surface of the earth that rembles the

nervous networks in the brain, she explains. In one study, Simard watched as a Douglas fir tree that had been

injured by incts appeared to nd chemical warning signals to a pine nearby. The pine tree then produced

defen enzymes to protect against the inct.

“This was a breakthrough,” Simard says. The trees were sharing “information that actually is important to the

health of the whole forest.”

In addition to warning each other of danger, Simard says that trees have been known to share nutrients at

critical times to keep each other healthy. She says the trees in a forest are often linked to each other via an older

tree she calls a “mother” or “hub” tree.

“In connecting with all the trees of different ages, the mother trees can actually ea the growth of the

young trees,” she says. “The young trees will link into the network of the old trees and benefit from that huge

resource capacity. And the old trees would also pass a little bit of carbon and nutrients and water to the young

trees, at crucial times in their lives, that actually help them survive.”

The study of trees took on a new resonance for Simard when she suffered from breast cancer. During her

treatment, she learned that one of the medicines she relied on was actually obtained from what some trees

produce for their own mutual defen. She explains her rearch on cooperation in the forest, and shares her

personal story in the new bookFinding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of theForest.

4. How could a Douglas fir tree nd chemical warning signals to a pine nearby?

A. By an underground network of fungi.

B. By the nervous networks in the brain.

C. By making cooperation with each other.

D. By holding lessons to it as human beings.

5. According to Simard, what was a breakthrough?

A. Simard was-brought up in Canadian forests.

B. She became a professor of forest ecology.

C. The pine tree produced defen enzymes.

D. Vital information was shared among trees.

6. What helped Simard understand trees further?

A. Her rich knowledge of trees. B. Her childhood in the forest.

C. Her medicine gained from trees. D. Her rearch on cooperation.

7. In Simard's book we may discover the wisdom of the forest except .

A. communicating cooperatively B. warning each other of danger

C. sharing nutrientsat critical times D. sacrificing mother trees for survival

After years of releasing e-readers that compete directly with Amazon’s Kindle, Rakuten Kobo’s latest device

offers something totally different: theability to draw and write directly on the screen.

With a large 10.3-inch E-ink display, the Kobo Elipsa looks more like an electronic clipboard than the standard

paperpack-sized e-reader. Although the ability to write on the screen is no big deal — especially given its high

price tag of $ 600 — the overall package is impressively functional.

In terms of reading, the Elipsa packs just about everything you’d expect in a Kobo. You can purcha and

download books from the store, read web articles you’ve saved online via Pocket, and connect to your local library

to borrow e-books and magazines. It’s known that Kindle basically requires you to buy books from Amazon. Unlike

Kindles, Kobos are pretty open with the formats they support; you can connect the Elipsa to a computer and

transfer over any PDF books you have bought or downloaded from stores like Booktopia or Google Books.

You can fill your virtual notepads with notes using brush and pen types, and export them as PDFs or images

to a PC. There’s also an “advanced” notebook that can turn your writing into typed and editable text for exporting

to Microsoft Word format. You can also write directly onto documents themlves, with all your word circling and

underlining saved as you go to review later. This is especially handy when it comes to PDFs, as changes you make

are synced（同步）automatically when you have Wi-Fi, so you can move between your Elipsa, PC and phone and

keep your notes.

With all that said, we can e it really appealing to e-reader fans who also tend to do a lot of work on paper. If

you ever print things out to mark them up, fill notepads with writing or drawing that you later have to transcribe

or scan, or just wish you could write all over your library books, this could be the device for you.

8. Which of the following best describes the Elipsa?

A. Automatic. B. Traditional. C. Uful. D. Standard.

9. How is a Kobo different from a Kindle in reading?

A. A Kindle has a larger screen.

B. A Kindle can support more formats.

C. A Kobo supports books from various sources.

D. A Kobo should be connected to local libraries.

10. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about Kobos?

A Their function in syncing. B. Their function in typing.

C. Their function in writing. D. Their function in reading.

11. In which ction of a newspaper can the text probably be found?

A. Education. B. Technology.

C. Lifestyle. D. Business.

D

Have you ever been on social media and en your favorite celebrity talking about a product? The

promotions might not be totally random, and are actually en as a vital part of the marketing process. The

question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy?

Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us

receptive to being ‘socially influenced’. Companies often u that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we

admire to ll or launch a product. So, what do the promotions actually do?

Firstly, they can be ud to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong

understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to

the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have en before.

Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer ba. According

to InMoment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for

more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk

or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.

Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with emingly ‘unbiad opinions’. We are more

likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we e an influencer as a ‘friend’

can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are eing.

So, the next time you e a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a

carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourlf examining a

product you’ve en on social media, you may well have been influenced.

12. Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products?

A. Becau celebrities can improve the companies’ public images.

B. Becau consumers like to share similarity with celebrities.

C. Becau celebrities want to make more money.

D. Becau consumers can make friends with celebrities.

13. According to the passage, which strategy is often ud by influencers?

A. Setting up operation platforms. B. Sending gifts to customers.

C. Improving relationship with the company. D. Taking advantage of their popularity.

14. To customers, the recommendations of influencers em to be ________.

A. offensive B. subjective C. objective D. misleading

15. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. how social media make ads B. how social media influence our lifestyle

C. how social influencers affect our buying D. how celebrities earn fame
