They consisted of a trip to Disneyworld, a week at a resort, or perhaps a booking on a cruise line that every family member was excited about, The only thing many had to worry about was forgetting the passports or a child forgetting the toothbrush or losing the favorite toy somewhere between the airport and the hotel. Now, the days of vacations look completely different and for those who have taken one during the pandemic, many things have changed. Many families have routine(例行的) vacations that they take every year and this year. But due to the pandemic, many vacations didn't happen as planned, So, vacations were put on the back burner and weren't taken until much later in the year and for many people, change in their work lives allowed this. With more parents working from home and more kids taking part in homeschooling at home, families found going on vacation became much easier without the physical need to be somewhere else. This was also the year that many people remembered that they're surrounded by nature. Rather than booking the typical vacation to the most-visited destinations or popular theme parks， many people--families especially-chose the lesser-crowded destinations. This meant that more families chose vacation activities such as camping, preferring to connect with nature rather than walk the busy streets. This also meant that vacation rentals(租用的房屋或汽车、设备等) were up in popularity and even in popular destinations, such as beach towns, The possibility of small crowds didn't stop some families due to the fact that they rented the whole place. It now looks like these changes might be here to stay, at least for some time longer, before the world returns to a state of normality. 8.

They made careful preparation before the vacation11. What does the author think of the above-mentioned changes in family vacations?A. They may continue into the future. B. They'll bring families closer together. C. They might not last longer than expected.  DWhen Purdue University researchers set out to develop a new paint, the goal was to create one that would reflect sunlight away from a building, It turns out they also set an official Guinness world record for the whitest paint on the planet. "When we started this project about seven years ago, we had saving energy and fighting climate change in mind," Professor Xiulin Ruan said. The paint reflects 98. 1% of solar radiation while also emitting infrared(红外线的) heat. Because the paint absorbs less heat from the sun than it emits, a surface coated with this paint is cooled below the surrounding temperature without consuming power. Typical commercial white paint gets warmer rather than cooler, Paints on the market that are designed to reject heat reflect only 80%-90% of sunlight and can't make surfaces cooler than their surroundings. "Conventional air conditioners consume power that is often from burning fossil fuel. Meanwhile, while they move the heat from inside of a house to the outside, they turn the electricity into heat and leave even more heat to the surrounding and earth, further causing a heat island effect and warming up the Earth," Professor Ruan told IFLScience. "In contrast, our paint does not consume any power, and directly sends off all the heat to the deep space,thus helping cooling down the Earth. According to a previous model,painting 0. 5-1% of the Earth's surface (roofs, roads, cars, unused land, etc) with ourpaint will stop the warming trend. Painting many human made-structures would be a great way to fight the climate crisis in many ways. The paint is not yet available commercially and the scientists are working with a commercial company to speed up the paint production and put it on the market. 12. What's the purpose of creating the whitest paint?A. To make the street cleaner. B. To help fight climate changeC. To remind people of climate warming. 13. What is unique to the whitest paint?A. It sets an official standard for the whitest paint on the earth. B. It turns the light into heat and makes the houses much coolerC. It makes whatever it's painted on much cooler than its surroundings. 14. How much solar radiation can the whitest paint reflect back?A. About 80%. B. About 90%C. About 98. 1%15. What's the best title for the text?A. The World's Whitest PaintB. Paint the Earth WhiteC.
