Twenty-four trains,nine countries,13,500 miles.
   They are the numbers behind a train journey one man took from Southampton in the UK to eastern China.Roger Tyers,37,spent a month on board trains and over $ 2,500 — almost three times the cost of a return flight to travel to the Chinese port city Ningbo for academic research in May,2019.It was the climate crisis that drove this socialist to choose this complex route.Tyers told CNN that he felt it necessary to stop flying when UN climate experts warned last year that the world has less than 11 years to avoid disastrous levels of global warming.
   Tyers is not the sole person to avoid air travel in response to climate change.Thousands of people worldwide have publicly promised to stop flying,including teenage activist Greta Thunberg,who has inspired youth climate protests around the world.Activist Maja Rosen started the "Flight Free" campaign in Sweden in 2018 with the aim of encouraging 100,000 people not to fly for one year.
   Rosen,who stopped flying 12 years ago,says the "Flight Free" campaign helps fight the sense of hopelessness many people feel when it comes to dealing with climate change. "One of the problems is that people feel there's no point in what you do as an individual.The campaign is about making people aware that if we do this together,we can actually make a huge difference," she said.
   A passenger's footprint from an individual flight depends on a number of factors,including how far he flies,how full the plane is,and what class he travels in:First class passengers are given more space than economy passengers,meaning they're responsible for a bigger part of the plane's emissions.Tyers said that his train journey to China produced almost 90% less emissions than a return flight.

  • 3.At 1,345 meters above sea level,Ben Nevis is definitely not the world's most difficult mountain to climb.But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels,especially if you're a guy.One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.
       Ben Conway,a 19-year-old art student from London,recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of Communication Arts in Brixton.He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a.m.,on June 27,and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen,a friend from his art foundation year,who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project.The whole climb took five hours and wasn't the smoothest experience.
       Halfway up Ben Navis,one of his shoes broke,so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on.The weather didn't make it easy for him either,as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time,and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds.Due to these difficult conditions,Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.
       Apart from providing a unique art school application project,the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes,like Sal's Shoes,which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.
       "Raising money for charity brings happiness to people's lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness,then that's what it's all about",Ben said.

    (1)What can replace the underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 1?

    A.Pleasant.
    B.Boring.
    C.Tough.
    D.Smooth.
    (2)Why did Allen videotape the high-heel climb for Ben?

    A.To prove nothing is impossible.
    B.To record a special experience.
    C.To promote their friendship.
    D.To assist in Ben's application.
    (3)What does Paragraph 3 focus on?

    A.The difficulties in the climb.
    B.The climbing route.
    C.The terrible weather.
    D.The unexpected incident.
    (4)What can best describe Ben's story?

    A.Puzzling.
    B.Inspiring.
    C.Exciting.
    D.Frightening.
