But soon he began purchasing the equipment hed need. He purchased a bike, and told the news to his parents and friends.Papadimi
19、triou travelled anywhere between 35 and 75 miles per day, crossing initially through England and then onto the Netherlands.

21、y. “And I did learn a lot of things about myself, about my limits, my strengths and my weaknesses.

25、during the trip.CManta rays (魔鬼鱼) are some of the creatures in the ocean who allow divers to swim right up to and interact (互动) with them. Unfortunately, these gentle animals are in big trouble. Since 2011, manta rays have been listed as a threatened species worldwide.Peru, a country in South Americ
26、a, recently took a big step to protect giant manta rays: It banned fishing for them. Although 12 other countries have passed laws to protect rays, Perus may be the most important one yet. Thats because there are more manta rays in the Pacific Ocean near Peru than in any other place in the world.Gian
27、t manta rays are unusual-looking creatures. The giant, flat rays are typically about 4.5 meters wide and can grow up to 8 meters wide! “Theyre sort of like giant flying carpets underwater,” says Joshua Stewart of the Manta Trust, an organization that researches manta rays.People catch rays for their
28、 meat. Overfishing is bad for any sea creature, but its even worse for manta rays. Female manta rays usually have only one baby, every two to five years. So every ray thats caught hurts the population in a big way. People who break Perus new law can be fined or have their fishing licenses revoked. E
29、ven rays caught accidentally in fishing nets must be set free.Earlier this year, the Manta Trust attached video cameras, called Crittercams, to manta rays off the west coast of Mexico.

33、mprovement.DBack in middle school, I went to live with my mother for two years on her farm. Whenever people hear that I lived on a farm, they immediately have an imageof dairy cows, tractors, hay, and overalls. Nothing could be further from the truth.I wasnt on the kind of farm everyone imagines. I
34、didnt feed cowsor pigs;I didnt grow corn or wheat.

35、 fifty years ago, my great-grandfather decided to buy a llama. He must have learned that wool from llamas was more profitable than wool from sheep. The llama wool business turned out to be so successful, in fact, that my great-grandfather changed the family business to a completely-developed llama f

37、seem so bad when someone else does it on TV, but I had to get up before dawn every day to finish that chore before catching the bus to school.I dont mean to say that my life on the farm was a bad experience. I learned a lot about myself: for example, Im not a morning person. I also learned aboutllam
38、as habits,such as spitting (吐唾沫) when they are unhappy. Most importantly, my mother and I got to spend a lot of time together during those years. Although I doubt Ill have acareer infarming, I look forward to returning to the family farm for short visits.32. What does the underlined word “queer” in
