9、hers and fellow students. However, academic achievement proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again.

10、er it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart.

16、you? Chances are that if youre looking to live a more sustainable lifestyle, not everyone around you will be ready tojump on that bandwagon.I experienced this when I started switching to a zero waste lifestyle five years ago, as I was living with my parents, and I continue to experience this with my
17、 husband, as he is not completely zero waste like me. Ive learned a few things along the way though, which I hope youll find encouraging if youre doing your best to figure out how you can make the change in a not-always-supportive household.Zero waste was a radical lifestyle movement a few years bac
18、k. I remember showing my parents a video of Bea Johnson, sharing how cool I thought it would be to buy groceries with jars, and have so little trash! A few days later, I came back with my first jars of zero waste groceries, and my dad commented on how silly it was for me to carry jars everywhere. It
19、 came off as a bit discouraging.Yet as the months of reducing waste continued, I did what I could that was within my own reach. I had my own bedroom, so I worked on removing things I didnt need.

But what about the deep sea? Although it covers 7
25、0 percent of the Earths surface, we hardly stop to think of it as a tourist destination. However, the travel industry has made great advancement in creating aquatic(水中的) hotspots.From the luxury to the relatively modest, underwater resorts have been popping up in recent years. For those with a truly
26、 adventurous spirit and some money to spend, you can even rent your own submarine. Staffed with a captain, a personal chef and a butler(管家),Olivers Travels submarine, the Lovers Deep, is a unique getaway.

27、, US, named after Jules Verne, the author of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.Other sectors of the emerging underwater tourism industry have brought a bit of art to the deep sea.
