1．阅读理解

As winter set in, it's the perfect time to get out of town and escape the seasonal mood disorder.

Here are vacation ideas to adopt now.

Costa Rica

Costa Rica, located in the Valle del General, is an off-the-radar agriculture town that's not

overrun with tourists. The area is known for its coffee, pineapples and sugar cane plantations, as

well as its rich forests. What's more, you can enjoy horseback riding, spend afternoons at the spa

or tour a nearby wildlife shelter to look out for colorful birds, sloths and other animals.

Los Cabos, Mexico

If you love wine, travel to Los Cabos, a beautiful vacation destination at the southern edge of

the Baja Peninsula. During your getaway, you can enjoy special wine tastings and dinner cooked

by Los Cabos's Michelin-starred chef. There are wildlife-viewing opportunities, too. From

December through May, you can spot whales, manta rays and more wildlife.

Petit St Vincent, the Grenadines

This private Caribbean island was spared the anger of hurricanes Irma and Maria. What's more,

the whole island is only 115 acres and has 22 cottages. Each cottage is located in a quiet place,

and you can expect to unplug and recharge phones with no wireless connections, televisions or

telephones in the cottages. Even better, you can spend your days admiring fascinating marine (海洋的) life at the Jean-Michel Cousteau Diving Caribbean center.

The Exumas, Bahamas

On Fowl Cay's 50-acre private island, you can enjoy a carefree escape. Days can be spent fishing,

boating and diving before wandering along white sands. The resort features large one-, two- and

three-bedroom houses. Best of all, if you're planning a group getaway or multigenerational trip,

you rent the entire island for a one-of-a-kind island escape.

2．阅读理解

An experimental cleanup device called RemoveDEBRIS has successfully cast a net around a

dummy (仿真的) satellite, imitating a technique that could one day collect spaceborne garbage.

The test, which was carried out this week, is widely believed to be the first successful

demonstration of space cleanup technology, experts told CNN. And it symbolizes an early step

toward solving what has already been a critical issue: junk in space.

Millions of pieces of junk are turning around in orbit the result of 50 years of space travel and

few regulations to keep space clean. At orbital speeds, even a small bit of paint crashing with a

satellite can cause critical damage.

Various companies have plans to send thousands of new satellites into low-Earth orbit, already

the most crowded area.

The RemoveDEBRIS experiment is run by a company and researchers led by the U. K.'s Surrey

Space Center and includes Airbus, Airbus-owned Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. and France's

ArianeGroup.

Guglielmo Aglietti, the director of Surrey Space Center, said that an operational version of the

RemoveDEBRlS technology would cast a net that remains fastened to the main satellite so the

debris can be dragged out of orbit. It could target large pieces of junk, including dead satellites up

to 10 meters long.

The RemoveDEBRIS satellite will conduct a few more experiments in the coming months,
